Efficient workflows with KVM and DualView
The integrated KVM switch simplifies working with two computers by sharing a single keyboard and mouse set. The DualView feature displays two different colour modes side-by-side, allowing for easy comparison. The monitor supports Daisy Chain technology via Thunderbolt, making it easy to connect multiple screens in a row. A Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode and ICCsync function for synchronising colour profiles are also available.
True-to-life colours on a 4K IPS panel
The basis for a detailed display is an IPS panel with a 4K resolution of 3840 × 2160. The monitor's brightness is 400cd/m² and the contrast ratio is 2,000:1. The colour rendering covers 100% sRGB, 100% Rec.709 and 98% P3 and, thanks to its 10-bit colour depth, it reproduces 1.07 billion colours. The wide colour gamut displays consistent and true-to-life shades. The monitor also meets HDR10 and VESA DisplayHDR 400 standards.
Fully adjustable ergonomics
The stand allows you to customise the screen position according to your individual needs for comfortable work. The height can be adjusted within a 150mm range, the screen can be tilted from -5° to 20° or swivelled 30° to the side. The Pivot function allows you to rotate the monitor 90° to a vertical position, which is practical when working with long documents or coding. The Auto Pivot function then automatically adjusts the orientation of the displayed content without the need for manual adjustment in the system. For mounting on your own bracket, the monitor offers a VESA 100 × 100mm mount.
Features and equipment
The monitor includes built-in speakers with an output of 2× 2.5W for basic audio. To reduce eye fatigue during prolonged work, it includes Flicker-free technology, which limits backlight flicker, and Low Blue Light to filter blue light. Power consumption in SDR mode is 32W and it belongs to energy efficiency class F. The monitor has received TUV certifications for both eye protection technologies. An external Hotkey Puck G2 controller is also included, which allows quick access to frequently used settings such as colour modes or brightness.

Colour Gamut
Determines how accurately the monitor can display colours. sRGB is ideal for web, movies or games. DCI-P3/Adobe RGB will be appreciated by graphic designers or professionals at work. The higher the value, the better the monitor displays colours. Maximum Brightness
The value given in nits or cd/m² determines the brightness of the monitor. Brightness above 400 nits is crucial for HDR content and readability in sunlight, while standard office monitors are fine with values above 250. Refresh Rate and Response Time
Refresh rate (Hz) determines the number of frames displayed per second, so the higher the value, the smoother the picture and the less eye strain. A lower response time (ms) eliminates motion blur. 144Hz+ is ideal for gaming, while values around 75Hz are suitable for office monitors.Specifications
