Compatibility Guide
This monitor supports standard VESA 100×100mm mounting, making it easy to attach to monitor arms or wall brackets. With DisplayPort, HDMI, and USB-C inputs, it works with a wide range of devices including gaming PCs, laptops, and consoles. The USB-C port supports video input and up to 65W power delivery, allowing you to connect a laptop with a single cable for a clean desk setup.
Ideal Builds
- Mid-range to high-end gaming PCs: Pair with GPUs like RTX 4060 Ti or RX 7700 XT and above to fully utilize 165Hz at WQHD.
- Laptop users: Use USB-C to connect a laptop as an external monitor for a dual-screen workspace.
- Console gamers: PS5 and Xbox Series X support 1440p output over HDMI, making this a great match.
Upgrade Considerations
To achieve the full 165Hz refresh rate, ensure your GPU supports DisplayPort 1.2 or HDMI 2.0 or higher. Older GPUs (e.g., GTX 10-series) may limit refresh rate. The USB-C power delivery is capped at 65W, so high-performance gaming laptops may still need their own power adapter. If using a monitor arm, verify weight capacity and VESA compatibility beforehand.
