Display16-inch QHD+ (2560 x 1600) OLED; 240 Hz MSI16-inch WQXGA (2560 × 1600) OLED, 16:10; 165 Hz, 500 nits typical / 1100 nits HDR peak, 100% DCI-P3, 1,000,000:1 contrast, glossy surface, DisplayHDR True Black 1000, Dolby Vision, G-SYNC

165 Hz means the panel can show up to 165 frames per second; G-SYNC matches the refresh to the GPU’s frame rate to reduce tearing. 1100 nits is a peak value for small areas in HDR content; everyday SDR brightness is 500 nits. The panel is factory-calibrated with X-Rite and is not a touchscreen.
