0DB Ambient Cooling

Enjoy truly silent cooling under light workloads with 0dB Ambient Cooling technology.

NVIDIA G-SYNC synchronises the display's refresh rate with the GPU's output to reduce lag, minimise stuttering, and eliminate visual tearing for ultra-smooth and lifelike gameplay. The FHD+ panel hits 100% of the sRGB colour space, and when packed into a 16-inch chassis, this resolution boasts an incredible pixel density, ensuring your videos and games are as immersive as possible without sacrificing portability.
