- IPS panel — wide 178°/178° viewing angles with accurate, consistent color reproduction
- HDR support (DisplayHDR 400) with 400 cd/m² peak — enhanced contrast for HDR media
- 4K UHD resolution at 163 PPI — razor-sharp detail for creative and professional workflows
- 95% DCI-P3 — professional-level wide-gamut color reproduction for accurate creative work
- Full ergonomic stand (height, pivot, swivel, tilt) — adaptable for comfortable long-session productivity use
- IPS contrast (1200 : 1) — blacks look grey in dark viewing conditions compared to VA or OLED
- No Thunderbolt 4 — USB-C available but lacks high-speed 40 Gbps bandwidth and high-watt charging
- Entry-tier DisplayHDR 400 — limited local dimming means HDR uplift is modest rather than dramatic
- Peak power draw (220W) — above-average running cost; factor into long-term energy budget
- No built-in Ethernet — monitor lacks wired network hub functionality
- IPS panel — consistent 178°/178° viewing angles with accurate, uniform color reproduction
- HDR support (HDR10 / DisplayHDR 400) — expanded brightness range for more realistic, dynamic imagery
