While HDR support is mentioned, it may not be particularly compelling due to its moderate brightness rating of 250 cd/m².

Connectivity options for the best 1080p G-Sync gaming monitor include two HDMI 2.0 inputs and a DisplayPort 1.2a.
Aside from the mentioned ports, a headphone output is also available among the connections. To eliminate unsightly tearing in games, users can take advantage of the G-Sync-compatible Adaptive Sync technology. Furthermore, the OSD offers a black stabilizer feature, allowing for enhanced visibility in darker areas of games. In terms of ergonomics, the 27-inch 1080p monitor offers only tilt adjustment, VESA mount compatibility (75 x 75 mm), blue light filtering, and a flicker-free backlight.
