Overview
A gaming desk gets a curve-free VA panel with a matte finish here, plus a stand that raises, tilts and pivots. Black Equalizer brightens dark scenes, and Virtual Aim Point adds an on-screen crosshair.
Deep contrast makes dark scenes in games and movies look rich, and the QHD sharpness suits a monitor of this size. The panel type trades some side-view color consistency for that contrast. Three USB ports and two HDMI inputs add flexibility.
Who it's for
A PC or console gamer who plays in a darker room and wants contrast and QHD detail. The height and pivot adjustments suit shared desks. Competitive players wanting a very fast panel or a color-critical editor should look at IPS.
Pros and cons
- High contrast VA panel
- Height, tilt and pivot stand
- Two HDMI and DisplayPort inputs
- Gaming aids built in
- Narrower viewing angles than IPS
- Power draw is higher
- Cables listed vaguely
Performance notes
A VA panel blocks backlight better in dark pixels, so contrast is higher than an IPS panel of the same era. Pixel transitions can smear in dark scenes at the highest refresh rates. FreeSync matches the display to the graphics card to reduce tearing, and HDR10 widens the highlight range within the panel's brightness.
