According to the latest update, and with its 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms response time, it’s fast enough to smoothly show high frame rates, perfect for action-heavy shooters and sweaty online multiplayer titles. Visual performance is rounded out with G-Sync and FreeSync Premium Pro compatibility. The 2560×1440 resolution sits in the sweet spot for modern gamers, showing high-res images without taxing your PC as much as a full-blown 4K monitor would.
According to the latest update, with VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification, dark scenes look impressive with deep blacks and rich shadows.
