The VA panel delivers deep blacks and vibrant colours with a 3000:1 contrast ratio, while the 250 cd/m² brightness provides good visibility in most lighting conditions. The ZeroFrame design maximises screen real estate by minimising bezels, creating a more immersive viewing experience whether you’re gaming or working on spreadsheets.
