Slim Specifications

High-Refresh Competitive Performance

The 400Hz refresh rate offers exceptional smoothness in fast shooters and racing games. This reduces perceived latency and helps track moving targets. Because the panel is IPS, speed does not sacrifice colour accuracy. In practice, this supports consistent aim and smoother tracking.

Immersive QHD Visuals

The 2560 x 1440 resolution provides a sharp image on a 27-inch screen. It balances pixel density and performance. The IPS technology delivers 178° wide viewing angles. So, colours stay consistent even when you sit off-centre. This is useful for co-op sessions or multi-monitor setups.

Colour Performance and HDR

The monitor covers 90% DCI-P3 and 99% sRGB colour space. This supports vibrant yet accurate visuals for games and media. It is rated VESA DisplayHDR™ 400. However, HDR performance varies by content and ambient light. For best results, confirm your GPU supports HDR output.

Eye Comfort Features

The panel includes Flicker Free Technology and Low Blue Light modes. These help reduce eye strain during long sessions. Because the monitor is height adjustable, you can set a neutral posture. In practice, this supports comfort over extended gameplay.

Flexible Connectivity

You get 2 x HDMI 2.0 and 1 x DisplayPort 1.4. The input notes that one DisplayPort 1.4 supports up to 180Hz. This suggests the 400Hz mode may require specific settings or cables. Also, the monitor includes two built-in speakers and a 3.5mm earphone output. However, the input does not specify audio quality or wattage.
