Before ordering

Confirm the 18.0-inch form factor fits your workspace and transport bag. Verify that your external displays can use HDMI 2.1 FRL or USB4 DisplayPort for full refresh-rate output. Ensure your peripherals match the available USB-A and USB-C ports, and note the lack of an SD card reader if your workflow depends on one.

Questions about this item

What external display rate does the HDMI 2.1 FRL port cap at?

The HDMI 2.1 FRL port supports the full 40 Gbps link rate, so it can drive 4K at 240 Hz or 8K at 60 Hz without compression.

What clearance does the 0.91-inch chassis need for the rear RJ-45 and dual USB 4 ports?

Allow at least 3 inches behind the 15.71-inch deep unit so cables clear the RJ-45 LAN jack and both Type-C USB 4 connectors.

How do I enable the 240 Hz panel rate after Windows boots?

Open Settings > System > Display > Advanced display and choose 240 Hz; the panel defaults to 60 Hz until you switch it.
