You get two HDMI ports and a DisplayPort to hook up pretty much any modern gear, from your PS5 to your work PC. A 3.5mm audio jack is a clutch addition, letting you plug in headphones or speakers for those late-night gaming marathons without waking the house. Plus, it’s VESA-compatible, so you can slap it on a wall or monitor arm to clear off your desk and make your setup look sleek.
Response time matters just as much as refresh rate, and this monitor’s 1ms MPRT (Moving Picture Response Time) keeps up with the action. Fast-moving objects, like a speeding car in a racing game or an animated cursor, stay sharp without ghosting or trailing. The LED-backlit IPS panel pumps out punchy colors and wide viewing angles, perfect for kicking back with a movie or grinding on graphic design projects, thanks to 300 cd/m² brightness as well as a 1000:1 contrast ratio.
I love this monitor! I just retired from a university and had to return my old monitor that was on loan. Once I learned that new technology equipment is easier to install than the old ones; I was good to go. For the price paid, it was a game changer to help me have better visuals with my old, small laptop. In the coming months, I plan to upgrade to an all-in-one computer,” said one reviewer.
