What you get

With a resolution of 5120 x 2880 on a 27" diagonal, you get extremely high pixel density – text is razor sharp, the UI is smooth, and detail in games and video is on a whole different level. The IPS panel with 178°/178° viewing angles and 1.07 billion colors provides stable colors, which is important for both gaming and photo and video editing. 360Hz refresh rate plus 1 ms response time are critical for FPS, battle royale, and competitive titles, where every millisecond makes the difference between a headshot and a death screen. AMD FreeSync Premium and G-SYNC Compatible ensure synchronization between the GPU and the panel and help with variable FPS, without relying solely on V-Sync and additional input lag. With HDR10+ and brightness 400cd/m2, you get better dynamic range and more vibrant scenes in compatible games and movies.

Who it is suitable for

This monitor is for gamers who primarily play competitive titles and want maximum smoothness and responsiveness of the image – 360Hz and 1 ms are a direct upgrade over standard 144/165Hz panels. It is also suitable for people who edit photos, videos, or work with many windows and appreciate the high resolution and accuracy of the IPS panel.
