VESA DisplayHDRâ„¢ True Black 500
The XG27AQWMG complies with VESA DisplayHDRâ„¢ True Black 500, providing enhanced HDR performance with the deep blacks that OLED technology is known for.
HDR support helps produce a greater distinction between bright highlights and dark areas of an image.
This can make supported games and movies appear more dynamic, immersive and realistic.
The monitor supports HDR10, allowing it to display compatible HDR content from supported gaming and entertainment sources.
99.5% DCI-P3 & True 10-Bit Colour
The display offers an impressive 99.5% DCI-P3 colour gamut, providing a wide range of rich and vibrant colours.
