GPU and Cable Requirements for 220Hz

To reach 220Hz at 2560 x 1440, the monitor requires DisplayPort 1.4 (HBR2) from a compatible graphics card. Use the included DisplayPort cable for the full 220Hz refresh rate. The two HDMI 2.1 ports use TMDS signaling and cap at 150Hz on this panel, so reserve HDMI for secondary devices like consoles or laptops. Verify your GPU’s output capabilities before purchase if you plan to use the full refresh rate.

Stand Ergonomics and VESA Mounting

The included stand supports tilt only (-5° to +20°) and does not offer height adjustment or swivel. If you want more flexibility, use the 100x100mm VESA mount with a monitor arm. The monitor weighs 4.9 kg with stand, making it suitable for most monitor arms. The stand footprint measures 61.53 x 45.09 x 16.98 cm with stand; confirm your desk depth before purchase.

Panel Characteristics and Setup

This is a Fast IPS panel with a 1300:1 contrast ratio, better than many standard IPS panels but not as deep as VA or OLED. 95% DCI-P3 coverage with 10-bit color suits gaming, streaming, and video editing; for critical print work that requires Adobe RGB, a professional monitor with wider gamut coverage would be more appropriate. Built-in 2W x 2 speakers provide basic audio; for immersive gaming, use headphones or external speakers via the 3.5mm jack. Use DisplayWidget Center to adjust settings with a mouse, and enable Adaptive-Sync in your GPU driver to benefit from VRR.

Connect the monitor via the included DisplayPort cable to reach 220Hz at 2560 x 1440. The two HDMI 2.1 ports use TMDS signaling and cap at 150Hz on this panel, so use them for consoles or secondary devices. Enable Adaptive-Sync in your GPU driver and turn off any in-game frame rate caps below 220Hz to benefit from VRR.

Adjust brightness to 100-150 cd/m² for comfortable desktop use, then raise it for HDR content in games and video. Use DisplayWidget Center to switch between GameVisual presets, and enable ELMB Sync for fast-paced shooters when you want motion clarity alongside VRR.

Because the stand has no height adjustment, consider a 100x100mm VESA arm if you need to raise the screen. The monitor weighs 4.9 kg with stand, which most arms support. The built-in 2W x 2 speakers are fine for basic audio; use headphones or external speakers via the 3.5mm jack for better sound.

The panel covers 95% DCI-P3 with 10-bit color, suitable for gaming, streaming, and video editing. For critical print workflows that require Adobe RGB, use a professional monitor with wider gamut coverage. Because this is an IPS panel with a 1300:1 contrast ratio, black levels are better than many standard IPS panels but not as deep as VA or OLED.
