Mike Perry — Hardware researcher since 2014. For projectors, gaming displays and video upscalers, synthesises manufacturer specs against measured reviews (ProjectorCentral, RTINGS), treating non-ANSI "lumen" figures as marketing claims rather than first-hand lab testing. Core beat: GPU performance across gaming, rendering, and local-LLM inference. How we check display specs →

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ 165Hz via DisplayPort plus 144Hz on all three HDMI ports for tear-free FPS play
  • ✓ IPS panel keeps color and contrast consistent across wide viewing angles
  • ✓ 1ms response time reduces motion blur in fast shooters and RTS games
  • ✓ AMD FreeSync syncs refresh rate to GPU frames to eliminate tearing and stutter

Cons

  • ✗ 1080p FHD only, so no 1440p or 4K sharpness on the 24-inch screen
  • ✗ Full 165Hz needs DisplayPort; the three HDMI ports cap at 144Hz
  • ✗ Built-in speakers are office-level audio, not immersive gaming sound
  • ✗ FreeSync targets AMD GPUs; no official G-Sync certification for Nvidia users

Key Features

  • up to 180Hz Refresh Rate: Pushing beyond the standard 144Hz, 165Hz gives gamers an edge in visibility as frames transition instantly, leaving behind no blurred images.
  • IPS Panel: The IPS (In-Plane Switching) panel cannot be beat when it comes to consistently delivering top color performance and sharp visibility from multiple viewing angles.
  • AMD FreeSync: With FreeSync, gamers now enjoy smooth video and seamless on the spot movement through their fast paced games. FreeSync is an AMD technology that nearly eliminates tearing and stuttering due to differences between a graphics card's frame rate and a monitor's refresh rate.
  • Edgeless Design: Edgeless Design completely immerses you in all the captivating action and wondrous scenery that 1080P resolution and 165Hz refresh rate have to offer.
  • Multiple Digital Ports: While three HDMI ports each deliver an impressive 144Hz refresh rate, one DisplayPort produces a stunning 165Hz refresh rate, all in FHD resolution.
  • Blue Light Shift: Reduce your monitors blue light to protect you from eye fatigue, irritation and strains. This enables you to work on your documents, watch movies, or play games more comfortably for extended periods.
