Product details

  • 144HZ REFRESH RATE - A higher refresh rate means smoother visuals and more information displayed within a second letting you catch everything with clarity.

  • Adaptive Sync - Eliminate screen tearing with Adaptive Sync technology.
  • HDR - Utilize High Dynamic Range to experience the extremes in brightness and black levels that convey a more realistic environment
