What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing is inconsistent about refresh rates: its title mentions 165Hz and 144Hz, while details and features state 165Hz maximum over DisplayPort and up to 144Hz over HDMI. The 165Hz claim requires a compatible graphics card and DisplayPort. Console and game limits may be lower. The product details say 1 Milliseconds, while the feature text identifies 1ms MPRT. Confirm the connection and mode needed for your setup.
