The 8-bit panel is combined with Frame Rate Control (FRC) to simulate a color depth of 10 bits. According to the manufacturer, the response time is 4 ms, the brightness is 350 cd/m², and the contrast ratio is 1,000:1. The screen must cover 99 percent of the sRGB color space.

The 3440×1440 pixels mean a significantly smaller virtual workspace, but it displays at a 120Hz refresh rate that’s twice as high. Typical for VA is the high contrast ratio of 3000:1; However, the brightness (300 cd/m²) and the color depth (8 bits) are lower. Instead of the usual response time when changing gray (GtG), the Moving Picture Response Time (MPRT) is specified, which is said to be very low, 0.4 ms. With these properties and FreeSync Premium, the monitor should also be suitable for gaming.
