The useful part.

Key strengths

The curved Rapid VA panel pairs 2560 × 1440 at up to 180 Hz with 5000:1 static contrast, a 0.5 ms minimum GtG rating and a 1 ms MPRT blur-reduction mode.

Manufacturer source Manufacturer source

Smart Crosshair with automatic colour selection, A.I. Vision, HDMI VRR and HDMI CEC are built in for gaming and console use.

Manufacturer source
The checks that matter.

Before you buy

MPRT blur reduction only works above 85 Hz and switches off Adaptive-Sync and A.I. Vision, and HDR input disables several picture controls, so these features can't be combined.

Manufacturer source Manufacturer source

The supplied stand only tilts (−5° to +20°), with no height, swivel or pivot adjustment, and there are no USB ports.

Manufacturer source Manufacturer source

HDR is listed only as HDR Ready, with no DisplayHDR certification, and the HDMI inputs are 2.0b; a 2160p signal is accepted, but the panel itself is 2560 × 1440.
