Reduces blur with the "Clear AIM DS" feature, which utilizes Dual Side Backlight technology
Features " Dual Side Backlight," which positions the LEDs that illuminate the LCD panel on both the left and right sides.
This achieves higher brightness compared to conventional products where the LEDs are positioned on only one side.
It also features the " Clear AIM DS " function, which sequentially illuminates the left and right backlights from top to bottom in sync with the LCD panel’s refresh rate.
This allows for clear, blur-free images with less brightness loss than the conventional Clear AIM.
Supports refresh rates up to 300 Hz via DisplayPort
When connected via DisplayPort, the monitor supports a refresh rate of up to 300 Hz, refreshing the image up to 300 times per second.
This is approximately five times faster than a standard 60 Hz display and about twice as fast as a 144 Hz gaming monitor, making it ideal for fast-paced games like first-person shooters (FPS).
When connected via HDMI, the maximum refresh rate is 240 Hz.
