Product details
The ASUS FastIPS display allows the liquid crystals to switch up to four times faster than conventional IPS panels, resulting in improved responsiveness. With a response time of 1 ms, motion blur and ghosting effects are virtually eliminated. This screen also delivers outstanding image quality and vibrant colors thanks to its DCI-P3 95% color gamut representation and an impressive contrast ratio of 1,000:1. The wide viewing angle of 178 degrees ensures that distortion and color deviations are minimized, even from extreme angles.
