Review: Great performance: 160Hz works perfectly with the right cable - I’ve been using this monitor for a few days now (received in January 2026), and so far my experience has been excellent. My graphics card is an ASUS TUF Gaming NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Super OC Edition, and at first, I had some doubts about reaching the full 160Hz at 4K in Windows. I followed many comments and reviews online and tried different cables. I even bought a certified HDMI 2.1 (48Gbps) cable, thinking that would solve the issue. While that cable works perfectly, with HDMI I could only reach 4K @ 120Hz uncompressed, which seems to be a limitation of how this monitor and NVIDIA GPUs handle HDMI. However, the DisplayPort cable included in the box works perfectly. Using DisplayPort, I can get 4K @ 160Hz in Windows without any issues on my RTX 4080 Super. On macOS, I was also able to reach 160Hz using HDMI, which worked smoothly. The dual mode is another big advantage: I tested 1080p at 320Hz, and it works very well for competitive gaming. Motion is extremely smooth and responsive. Regarding performance, DisplayPort uses Display Stream Compression (DSC) to achieve 160Hz at 4K. This adds only about 0.1–0.3 ms of latency, which is completely negligible in real gaming. In practice, the higher refresh rate reduces overall input lag compared to 120Hz, so gaming actually feels more responsive. Image quality is excellent, colors look vibrant, and build quality feels solid. I haven’t noticed any input lag issues, stuttering, or visual artifacts. I’ve only had the monitor for a short time, so I may update this review in the future if anything changes. For now, based on my experience, I’m very satisfied and giving it 5 stars. I will also upload a video as evidence showing the refresh rates working correctly. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a versatile and high-performance 4K gaming monitor.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great performance: 160Hz works perfectly with the right cable

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excelente monitor
*by O***A on 6 June 2026*

La vdd muy buen monitor ya casi en las grandes ligas y a buen precio

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ótima qualidade de imagem
*by M***. on 4 July 2025*

O produto chegou ao interior do Rio Grande do Sul (Brasil) em 12 dias, tudo certo com a entrega. A qualidade de construção é boa. O monitor é leve, e a base ocupa pouco espaço na mesa. Os botões físicos são fáceis de usar, com um clique relativamente leve. O menu de configurações inclui a opção de idioma em português. Também é possível desligar o LED indicador de energia, o que achei ótimo. A luz da logo na parte traseira é configurável pelo menu. Eu vinha usando anteriormente um monitor 24” 1080p. Por isso, o nível de nitidez deste modelo 4K me pareceu revolucionário. A leitura de textos ficou extremamente confortável e a nitidez é impressionante. As cores também são excelentes, e o tamanho de 27” é ótimo para trabalho de escritório. Notei que monitores maiores que esse podem deixar as bordas da tela um pouco fora do campo de visão, mas isso também depende da distância em que o monitor é posicionado. Como você pode esperar de um monitor IPS, os pretos não são bons, mas isso é compensado pela qualidade de imagem no uso do dia a dia. Fiz um teste e encontrei um dead pixel verde (subpixel), mas isso não é visível no dia a dia e não atrapalha o uso. Uso o computador para jogos, e minha placa de vídeo (RX 6600 XT, voltada para 1080p/1440p) está conseguindo rodar vários jogos em 4K com FSR ativado. Também testei jogar em 1080p e ficou em boa qualidade. Esse era um dos meus principais receios, mas por enquanto considerei o desempenho suficiente. Posso afirmar com segurança: se você precisa de nitidez no trabalho, um monitor 4K faz muita diferença. Agora, em relação ao principal recurso do monitor, a resolução dupla: recomendo a compra apenas se você realmente precisa de taxas de atualização muito altas. No meu caso, percebi que 4K a 160 Hz já é mais do que suficiente. Provavelmente sempre usarei o monitor em 4k. Então acredito que o modelo similar sem resolução dupla atenderia às minhas necessidades. Como alguns comentários já apontaram, o texto em 1080p fica serrilhado, mas não atrapalha durante os jogos. Uso o monitor com o Linux Mint e, ao alternar a resolução para 1080p, o sistema reconhece como se fosse outro monitor, exigindo reconfiguração da escala. Estou usando em escala de 175% em 4k. [Editado:] Na primeira avaliação que fiz aqui, apontei que o monitor demorava para exibir imagens ao ligar o computador. Solucionei esse problema desativando o fast boot da placa mãe e deixando apenas este monitor conectado. Agora o processo de boot detectou certo esse monitor e a imagem é exibida imediatamente ao ligar. Não percebi ruídos (coil whine). Em geral, o monitor merece 4,5 estrelas e aqui dei 4 estrelas pelo custo benefício, apesar de modelos concorrentes serem ainda mais caros.
