TM

 Premium Technology, which minimizes graphic distortions like 

screen tearing and stuttering for smoother, fluid gameplay.

•  Supports high refresh rates of 144 Hz and 165 Hz and a rapid response time of 1 

ms in MPRT mode*.

•  Dell Premium Panel Exchange for peace of mind.
•  Optimize eye comfort with a flicker-free screen and ComfortView feature which 

minimizes blue light emission. 

  

 WARNING: The possible long-term effects of blue-light emission from 

the monitor may cause damage to the eyes, including eye fatigue, digital 
eye strain, and so on. The ComfortView feature is designed to reduce the 
amount of blue-light emitted from the monitor to optimize eye comfort.

* 1 ms is achievable in the MPRT mode and reduces visible motion blur and increases 
image responsiveness. However, this may introduce some slight and noticeable visual 
artifacts into the image. As every system setup and every gamer’s needs are different, 
we recommend that users experiment with the different modes to find the setting that 
is right for them.
