The 5 millisecond response time isn’t the quickest on the market but still works great with the fast refresh rate and AMD’s FreeSync technology that harmonizes your monitor’s refresh rate with the graphics card’s.
This gives you a very smooth experience with no tearing or stuttering. The two built-in 7W DTS sound speakers will make you enjoy the game or the movie you’re watching as they deliver every detail with crystal-clarity.

You can connect two systems to your screen and view the contents side-by-side on one screen thanks to the Picture-in-Picture function. This facilitates multitasking and allows you to watch your favorite movie as you work on a spreadsheet.
The connectivity options are great, including a USB 3.1 type-C port, 4 high-speed USB 3.0 ports, a Display port, and an HDMI 2.0 port. This makes it easy to connect all your peripherals or charge your phone.

The USB Type-C used for connectivity enables you to display 4K videos, charge devices, and transfer data simultaneously using the same cable.
This spares you the cable clutter that’s caused by multiple cables. On-screen controls allow you to adjust volume, brightness, dual controller, picture mode presets, and Screen Split 2.0 a lot easier without needing to press hard buttons.
AMD’s FreeSync works on reducing stuttering and tearing so that you enjoy smoother transitions. However, you can only enjoy that feature if you’re connected to HDMI or DisplayPort.
