A Fast-IPS panel provides wide viewing angles and improved color accuracy, while DisplayHDR™ 400 and 95% DCI-P3 color space ensure better contrast and more saturated colors. USB-C downstream port, built-in speakers and ergonomic adjustments add practical convenience for desktop setups.

How to use

Place the monitor on a stable surface or install it on a VESA-compatible arm/stand. Connect your video source using a supported cable and enable the highest available refresh rate in your graphics driver or system display settings. For adaptive sync, activate G-SYNC or FreeSync in the GPU control panel and in the monitor OSD. Use DisplayWidget Center software to adjust color presets, calibration and Gaming AI features, and adjust height for an ergonomic viewing position. Connect USB-C devices to the downstream port as needed for peripherals or compatible devices.

Recommendations

For competitive gaming, use the 300 Hz mode with the fastest response and enable ELMB SYNC or motion-enhancing options only if you prefer maximum motion clarity. For color-critical tasks, select the appropriate color preset or calibrate the display using the DisplayWidget Center and a hardware colorimeter.
