- G-SYNC Ambient Adaptive Technology: G-SYNC Ambient Adaptive Technology automatically adjusts display brightness and color temperature to match your surrounding light. It ensures optimal image clarity and comfort, delivering consistent visuals in any environment.
- Fast and Furious: If you want seamless gameplay at ridiculous levels of speed, you’ve come to the right place. With up to a 360Hz refresh rate and up to 0.05ms (G to G) response time, your sessions will be fluid, unbroken and unmatched – with little to no ghosting
- Brilliant Colors: With the DCI-P3 90% color gamut and Delta E<2, colors are practically bursting out of the screen. Enjoy the best imagery your games have to offer!
- Center of Vision: At 27-inches, the XB273U F5 is directly in your field of view. Considered a hallmark of eSports tournaments, this is the perfect size to gain an edge over your opponents. The addition of a ZeroFrame design also removes the bezels – giving you have even more visibly over every match and every movement your rivals make.
