Key strengths
The stand tilts, swivels ±45°, pivots ±90° into portrait and offers 130 mm of height travel.
The Rapid IPS panel is rated at 1 ms GtG and 1 ms MPRT, with DisplayHDR 400, 95% DCI-P3 (CIE 1976) and hardware low-blue-light backlighting that works without a warm colour mode.
Before you buy
HDMI is limited to 144 Hz at 2560 × 1440. MPRT can't run with Adaptive-Sync, and HDR disables PIP/PBP, so these modes can't be combined.
There is no USB-C input, USB charging or USB hub, and turning on A.I. Vision disables MPRT and locks some picture controls.
The HDMI 2.0b inputs accept a 2160p signal only at 30 or 60 Hz.
