NVIDIA Reflex Latency Analyzer and a 240Hz Fast IPS panel with 1ms response give competitive gamers precise input lag measurement and smooth motion. Its DCI-P3 color gamut and DisplayHDR400 deliver strong contrast and color accuracy for a gaming display, while the fully adjustable stand supports long sessions. Best for esports players who need both sub-3ms system latency data and tear-free 1440p gameplay.
