Product Manuals

Q: I just received this monitor in the mail on the box it only says AMD Free sync.On Best buy it also said Its G-sync I just want to make sure this is accurate because it is a gift for my son that I will not be opening till its Christmas. Thank you,Jeff

A: Yes it is g-sync compatible as well. I was thrown off by the box as well but I was able to go into the nvidia control panel and enable g-sync. I’m thinking it’s one of the monitors that became g-sync compatible after it was released.

Q: Will the HDMI run 1440p at 120fps?

A: It should be possible if everything is hdmi 2.0 or higher the monitor has hdmi 2.0

Q: How do I get the ps4 to allow 4k with this monitor?

A: Its a 1440p monitor. You can only achieve 2k resolution

Q: Is this a stand alone monitor or is it a all in one monitor?

A: Just a monitor. The box includes the monitor, stand, power brick and dvi/dp and hdmi cables.

Q: Why does this say it has a refresh rate from 75-144hz? I mean isn't it best to assume that people would want a higher refresh rate? Why have this range? Does it serve some sort of purpose for choosing the lower refresh rate? Just curious...

A: This would be the range for Gsync/freesync. It matches your refresh rate with your fps, this is to eliminate screen tearing. As I understand it you can turn this off and have a set 144hz

Q: Can this monitor be mounted to a desk mount?

A: Does not have mounting locations for a mount.

Q: Can this run 120fps on the ps5?

A: Yes, as long as the game you’re playing can play at 120fps on the PS5.
