Performance Excellence
The 170 Hz refresh rate combined with 1 ms GTG response ensures fluid, low-latency gameplay that keeps up with fast competitive titles. AMD FreeSync compatibility helps eliminate tearing and stutter across fluctuating frame rates for a consistent experience.
While HDR Ready brings improved highlights, note that the lack of local dimming limits deep HDR contrast compared with premium HDR displays.
User Experience & Comfort
The 1000R curvature wraps the view for a more immersive feel and reduces peripheral distortion. The anti-glare coating minimizes reflections, and the adjustable stand allows for comfortable long sessions via tilt and height adjustments.
USB-C (DP Alt Mode) simplifies connections for compatible laptops, offering video over a single cable plus modest power delivery for accessories.
Visual Quality & Color Fidelity
Quantum Dot enhancement boosts color vibrancy and coverage, making images appear more lifelike and suitable for multimedia and casual creative work. The Rapid VA panel offers superior contrast compared to IPS, delivering deeper blacks in darker scenes.
For bright-room use, the ~300 nit brightness performs well indoors, but in very bright environments you may notice reduced peak highlights versus higher-end displays.
Design & Build Quality
A modern near-bezel-less front and subtle rear styling give the monitor a clean look that fits gaming rigs and workstations. Construction feels stable and practical, with easy OSD navigation via a rear joystick or buttons.
VESA compatibility lets you mount the display on arms or custom rigs for desk flexibility.

- DisplayPort 1.2a (overclock to 170 Hz) — recommended for full 170 Hz QHD.
