Highlights
4K UHD Resolution
Content springs to life in 4K OLED. Brilliant imagery shines with 250 nits (typ) of brightness and a wider spectrum of colors, shades and contrasts. The NQ8 AI Gen3 Processor also upscales lower resolutions to nearly 4K, so you can enjoy higher quality images through the Gaming Hub and Smart TV apps.
240Hz Refresh Rate & 0.03ms Response Time (GtG)
Dodge, counter and engage faster than the rest with OLED technology, offering a near-instant 0.03ms response time (GtG). Stay ahead of the competition with HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort connections, providing a 240Hz refresh rate in UHD resolution. Every millisecond counts when you're facing tough opponents.¹
OLED Glare-free
Glare-free technology significantly reduces glare from external light sources, so the OLED screen's perfect black and color experience are presented without distractions. With a screen 54% less glossy than conventional Anti-Reflection film.
Dynamic Cooling System
For the first time ever, a Pulsating Heat Pipe was introduced into the monitor to prevent burn-in. Dynamic Cooling System reduces temperature at the core, evaporating and condensing a coolant, which diffuses heat 5x better than the older graphite sheet method.²
Thermal Modulation System
Algorithms predict surface temperature and automatically control brightness to reduce heat accordingly.³
Logo and Taskbar Detection
The brightness on static images, like logos and taskbars, is automatically reduced to prevent burn-in.
Screen Saver
The screen dims itself after 10 minutes of inactivity, and comes back to regular brightness with any input.
