400hz at 1080p for 330 bucks is actually scary good value. i would grab this immediately
Does the dual mode switch happen live or do you need to reboot the panel firmware to change resolution? i need instant toggling
The specs list dual mode support on a fast ips panel which usually implies OSD switching. it is unlikely you need a reboot. check the manual for input override settings
honestly i just want to know if the mini led zones cause blooming in dark fps games. 1152 zones is decent but still not enough
is this panel rated for long term use? my old lg monitors died after three years. i need reliability
the 1ms gtg rating is optimistic. real world response times often lag by 2-3ms on fast ips panels. do not trust the marketing number blindly
at this price point i expect at least a usb c hub with data passthrough. the 65w pd is nice but i need to charge my laptop without buying a dongle
