Key Features
- 27-inch QD-OLED panel: Exceptional contrast ratio and wide color gamut (DCI-P3 99%+).
- 360Hz refresh rate & 0.03ms GtG response: Virtually eliminates motion blur for fast-paced gaming.
- WQHD resolution: More detail than 1080p, less demanding than 4K — ideal for high-refresh gaming.

Compatibility Guide
The monitor features DisplayPort 1.4 (with DSC) and HDMI 2.1 inputs. To achieve the full 360Hz, use DisplayPort. HDMI 2.1 supports up to 144Hz at WQHD. Your graphics card must have DisplayPort 1.4 or HDMI 2.1. FreeSync Premium Pro works best with AMD Radeon GPUs, but the monitor is also certified as G-SYNC Compatible for NVIDIA cards.
Ideal Builds
- Competitive FPS gamers: The 360Hz refresh rate gives a clear advantage in fast-twitch shooters like Valorant or CS2.
- High-end gaming PCs: Pair with an RTX 4070 Ti SUPER or RX 7800 XT and above to maintain high frame rates at WQHD.
- Color-conscious creators: The QD-OLED’s wide color coverage is excellent for video editing and photo work alongside gaming.
Upgrade Considerations
To fully utilize 360Hz, ensure your CPU and GPU are balanced. A modern mid-to-high-end CPU (e.g., Ryzen 7 7800X3D, Core i7-14700K) and a GPU like RTX 4070 Ti SUPER or better are recommended. Older GPUs (e.g., RTX 3060) may struggle to push high frame rates at WQHD. Also, be mindful of OLED burn-in: enable pixel shift and use a screensaver when idle.
