Fluid gameplay – Thanks to 180Hz refresh rate

A 180Hz refresh rate updates the image up to 180 times per second, making motion appear smoother and reducing perceived blur during rapid movement.

Smoother frame pacing improves responsiveness in competitive matches and makes fast scenes easier to follow.

Expanded workspace – With 3440 x 1440 WQHD and 21:9 aspect ratio

WQHD at 3440 x 1440 spreads pixels horizontally across a 21:9 panel, giving more usable screen area than a standard 16:9 display.

More room for timelines, spreadsheets and side-by-side windows, reducing the need to switch between applications constantly.

Greater depth and comfort – With curved VA panel and height adjust

VA panel technology combined with an intentional curvature enhances perceived depth and contrast, while a height-adjustable stand allows accurate ergonomic placement.

Darker scenes feel more immersive for movies and games, and adjustable ergonomics help reduce neck strain during long sessions.
