Key Specifications

Immersive Curved Design for Gaming

The 1500R curved screen wraps around your field of view, creating a more engaging gaming environment. This curvature matches the natural shape of human vision, reducing eye strain during extended gaming sessions while providing consistent viewing angles across the entire display. The VA panel technology delivers deep blacks and vibrant colours, making both dark and bright game scenes look spectacular.

Ultra-Smooth Performance with AMD FreeSync Premium

Experience tear-free gaming with AMD FreeSync Premium technology that synchronises your monitor’s refresh rate with compatible graphics cards. Combined with the 180Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time, fast-paced action sequences remain crystal clear without ghosting or motion blur. This monitor is ideal for competitive gaming where split-second reactions matter.

Enhanced Visual Quality with HDR Support

With 400 cd/m² typical brightness and a 100,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, games appear more three-dimensional and realistic. The 16.7 million colour depth ensures smooth gradients and accurate colour reproduction across all your favourite titles.
