OLED delivers perfect blacks with infinite contrast ratio. Each pixel turns off completely, creating stunning visuals IPS panels can’t match.
Vibrant Colors
100% DCI-P3 coverage with OLED’s self-emitting pixels produces colors that are more vibrant and accurate than any IPS display.
Zero Motion Blur
OLED’s 0.1ms response time combined with 240Hz refresh eliminates ghosting for the smoothest competitive gaming experience.
