The DCI-P3 colour space has increased from 90% DCI-P3 on the V5 model. The monitor is also equipped with Flicker-free and Low Blue Light technologies to provide a more comfortable viewing experience.

The 360/180Hz refresh rates are supported by adaptive-sync for VRR from compatible systems, including certification under the AMD ‘FreeSync Premium’ scheme. For HDR it offers a peak brightness of 1000 nits (10% APL) and is certified under the VESA DisplayHDR 1000 scheme, thanks to the use of a 576-zone Mini LED backlight.
