A 100 Hz standard refresh rate further reduces motion artifacts, providing a fluid viewing experience for video playback and casual gaming.
Connectivity is handled by two HDMI ports and one DisplayPort, supporting HDCP for protected content playback. Integrated dual speakers offer basic audio output, while the on-screen display (OSD) provides intuitive access to settings like Game Mode, M-book Mode, and ePaper Mode for optimized viewing in different scenarios.
