Overview
Not an esports Full HD screen, this TUF Gaming monitor runs QHD on a Fast IPS panel with an overclocked refresh rate. It accepts a monitor arm through its VESA pattern or uses the included height adjustable stand.
QHD sharpness with fast refresh suits gamers who also browse and work on the same screen. The seller copy disagrees with the bullets on HDR and color gamut, so those claims are uncertain.
Who it's for
PC players moving up from Full HD who want sharper detail without losing smooth motion. Colorists and photo editors should look for a panel with consistent, documented color specs.
Pros and cons
- QHD with fast refresh
- ELMB Sync with variable refresh
- Height adjustable stand
- Two HDMI ports for consoles
- Conflicting HDR and gamut claims
- No HDMI cable in the box
- Lower refresh than esports panels
Performance notes
The Fast IPS panel switches pixels quickly, which reduces smearing behind moving objects at the higher refresh. ELMB Sync strobes the backlight alongside variable refresh to sharpen motion further, though strobing lowers brightness. Top refresh is an overclock, so the DisplayPort connection carries it most reliably.
