27" Dual Mode 4K 160Hz/320Hz Mini-LED Monitor

This 27-inch gaming monitor uses a Rapid IPS panel with Mini-LED backlighting across 1152 dimming zones. It targets competitive players who want 4K detail at 160 Hz and can drop to 1080p for 320 Hz motion clarity. The AI Dual Mode switches refresh rates automatically when the resolution changes.

VESA DisplayHDR 1000 and 1.07 Billion Colours

Quantum Dot technology drives over 1.07 billion colours at 400 cd/m² typical brightness with a 1000:1 static contrast ratio. The 1152 local-dimming zones lift peak highlights for HDR 1000 certification, though sustained full-screen brightness remains at the panel's standard 400 cd/m² level.

Height Pivot Swivel Tilt Stand and USB-C DP Alt Mode

The included stand adjusts for height, pivot, swivel and tilt, and the monitor also offers 100 x 100 mm VESA mounting. Connectivity covers one DisplayPort 1.4a, two HDMI 2.1 ports, a USB-C port with DisplayPort Alternate Mode, plus one USB 2.0 Type-B upstream and two USB 2.0 Type-A downstream ports.

Questions about this item

Will my current PC with an HDMI 2.0 graphics card still drive this monitor at 4K 60 Hz?

Yes. The two HDMI 2.1 ports are backward compatible, so an HDMI 2.0 source will run 3840 x 2160 at 60 Hz without any adapter.

How can I confirm the Mini-LED backlight is delivering the 1152-zone HDR 1000 performance after setup?

Open the OSD and verify that "VESA DisplayHDR 1000" is shown as active; then play HDR content — the 1152 local-dimming zones should produce visibly deeper blacks and 400 cd/m² sustained brightness with 1000 cd/m² peaks.

Which cables are included in the box and what must I buy separately for 4K 160 Hz or FHD 320 Hz?

The package contains a DisplayPort 1.4a cable and a USB-C cable for DP Alt Mode; you will need to supply an HDMI 2.1 cable if you want 4K 160 Hz or 1080p 320 Hz over HDMI.
