Warranty2 years; OLED panel included LG3 years, including panel burn-in

Warranty terms can vary by country.

ASUS
Panel—26.5-inch QD-OLED, 16:9; 3840 × 2160 (4K); 0.153 mm pixel pitch

The small pixel pitch (about 166 ppi) makes text and interface edges look sharper than on 27-inch 1440p monitors.

ASUS
Refresh rate and VRR—240 Hz; 48–240 Hz variable refresh on HDMI and DP/USB-C inputs; FreeSync Premium Pro, G-SYNC Compatible, VESA AdaptiveSync Display 240Hz

All inputs support 240 Hz at 4K; variable refresh prevents tearing and stutter as the game frame rate moves between 48 and 240.

ASUS
Response time—0.03 ms (GtG)

Grey-to-grey transition time; because OLED pixels change much faster than LCD, motion blur depends mostly on the refresh rate.

ASUS
Brightness and contrast—1,000 cd/m² HDR peak; 1,500,000:1 typical contrast

1,000 cd/m² is a peak reached on a small area of the screen; a full white screen stays much lower. ASUS gives no typical SDR brightness value.

ASUS
HDR—VESA DisplayHDR 400 True Black; HDR10; Dolby Vision

The True Black tier measures OLED’s very low black level; 400 is the minimum peak brightness threshold in the certification test. Dolby Vision support lets compatible sources use scene-by-scene HDR data.

ASUS
Colour—99% DCI-P3, 145% sRGB; 10-bit (1.07 billion colours); ΔE < 2

ΔE < 2 means factory calibration deviates from target colours by an amount most people cannot see; a calibration report is included.

ASUS
Inputs—1 × DisplayPort 2.1; 2 × HDMI 2.1 (FRL); 1 × USB-C (DP Alt Mode, 90 W power delivery); headphone jack

USB-C takes video over a single cable and supplies up to 90 W to a laptop. The HDMI 2.1 inputs can be used for 4K 120 Hz on consoles.

ASUS
USB and KVM—3 × USB-A 5 Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 1) hub; KVM switch

KVM moves the keyboard and mouse attached to the monitor between two computers when the input is switched.

ASUS
Speakers—None

A headphone jack or external speakers are needed for audio.

ASUS
OLED protection—ASUS OLED Care; Neo Proximity Sensor

OLED Care includes burn-in prevention functions such as pixel cleaning, screen shift, logo brightness adjustment and taskbar detection. The proximity sensor dims the screen when the user leaves, reducing static image time.

ASUS
Power consumption—Under 80 W in operation; under 0.5 W in standby, 0.3 W off ASUS
Stand and mounting—Tilt +20°/−5°, swivel ±30°, pivot ±90°, height 0–110 mm; VESA 100 × 100; 1/4-inch tripod socket

The tripod socket is used to mount accessories such as a camera or light on the stand.
