Visual Experience with the Rapid IPS Panel
Rapid IPS technology provides a clear image and reduces colour distortion when viewed from different angles. The monitor maintains wide viewing angles of 178° horizontally and vertically. The standard 16:9 aspect ratio meets the demands of modern game titles and multimedia content. The anti-reflective surface reduces unwanted light reflections in the room.
Lightning Speed
The high 200Hz refresh rate significantly increases the smoothness of fast on-screen movements. The 0.5ms (GtG) response time eliminates edge blur and annoying ghosting behind moving objects. AMD FreeSync Premium technology effectively synchronises frames from the graphics card with the monitor. This prevents tearing and stuttering during demanding gaming scenes.
Wide Colour Gamut
The display works with a 10-bit colour depth, which is created by a combination of 8-bit and FRC technology. The monitor can cover 115% of the sRGB colour space, 99% of Adobe RGB, and 89% of the DCI-P3 standard. Support for HDR Ready technology brings better detail rendering in very bright and dark parts of the image. The resulting picture has more natural contrast and richer colour gradients.
Smart Features
Integrated AI Vision technology automatically adjusts brightness and colour saturation in real-time. This feature reveals hidden details in dark corners of the game map without overexposing bright areas. A special Console Mode supports a variable refresh rate for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S game consoles. This gives players a smooth experience even outside of a personal computer environment.
Ergonomic Adjustment
The stand's design provides the monitor with firm stability on a desk. Users can tilt the screen from -5° to 20° to achieve the optimal viewing angle. On the body of the monitor there is a Kensington security slot for physically securing the device against theft. This is particularly useful in public spaces or at gaming tournaments.
Wall Mounting the Monitor
The back of the monitor is ready for mounting on a wall or an adjustable arm. A standard 100 × 100 mm VESA mounting interface is used for this purpose. This allows users to free up precious desk space and customise their gaming corner to their own liking. The lightweight design makes handling easy during installation.
Eye Protection and Energy Saving
Flicker-Free technology reduces the imperceptible backlight flicker that tires the eyes during long-term use. The Less Blue Light function reduces the emission of harmful blue light via software. In standby mode, power consumption drops to just 0.5W.
Connectivity
The rear connector panel offers interfaces for connecting to computers, laptops and game consoles. For fast video signal transmission, modern high-throughput connectors are used, which support the full 200Hz frequency. The integrated power board operates with an input voltage of 100 to 240V. An HDMI cable is included in the package.

Colour Gamut
Determines how accurately the monitor can display colours. sRGB is ideal for web, films or games. DCI-P3/Adobe RGB will be appreciated by graphic designers or professionals at work. The higher the value, the better the monitor displays colours.
Maximum Brightness
The value, given in nits or cd/m², determines the brightness of the monitor. A brightness of over 400 nits is crucial for HDR content and readability in sunlight, while standard office monitors are fine with values above 250.
Refresh Rate and Response Time
The refresh rate (Hz) determines the number of frames displayed per second, so the higher the value, the smoother the image and the less eye strain. A lower response time (ms) eliminates motion blur. 144Hz+ is ideal for gaming, while values around 75Hz are suitable for office monitors.Specifications
