Manufacturer specification · Up to 180 Hz at 2560 × 1440 through DisplayPort; HDMI is limited to 144 Hz at native resolution.
Match the monitor to the connection. Refresh limits depend on the input, cable and source device. Confirm the exact regional ports, stand adjustment and mount. Manufacturer response-time methods such as MPRT and GtG are different; neither the image nor these figures establish an independent motion or colour-quality test.
