Technical Specifications

HDR10 Visuals for Clearer Detail

HDR10 support improves contrast and colour accuracy. You get brighter highlights and nuanced shadows for added depth. This makes game scenes feel more realistic. The typical brightness is 300 cd/m², with a minimum of 240 cd/m². The contrast ratio is 1000:1. However, the exact local dimming method is not specified. Check HDR performance with your content.

Smooth, Tear-Free Action at 200Hz

AMD FreeSync Premium synchronises the panel with your GPU. This reduces choppiness, input lag, and image tears. The 200Hz refresh rate and 1ms MPRT response aim for fluid motion. In practice, this helps during rapid turns and tracking shots. NVIDIA G-SYNC is not supported. Confirm your AMD GPU driver settings for optimal performance.

Precision Aiming with Gaming Tools

Black Equaliser adjusts dark areas to reveal opponents in shadows. Virtual Aim Point overlays a crosshair for improved accuracy. These brand-specific features target competitive play. The Super Arena Gaming UX and On-Screen Display (OSD) let you tweak settings quickly. Auto Source Switch+ and Off Timer Plus add convenience.
