31.5-inch QD-OLED; 3840 × 2160 (16:9); 240 Hz; 0.03 ms (GtG); 10-bit; 0.182 mm pixel pitch; anti-reflection surface

In QD-OLED, blue OLED light is converted to red and green by quantum dots, keeping colours saturated. The semi-glossy surface can make blacks look grey in a bright room.

ASUS
Refresh rate and response time120 Hz (48–120 Hz vertical frequency); 4 ms GtG (Extreme), 5 ms GtG (Fast), 8 ms GtG (Normal); AMD FreeSync Premium

120 Hz at 4K is available over both HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4; the source must also output 4K at 120 Hz. FreeSync Premium matches the refresh to the game’s frame rate within 48–120 Hz to prevent tearing; AMD’s tier also includes low framerate compensation (LFC). GtG figures are given for the fastest overdrive mode.
