Dual mode and upscaling technology
The main feature of these monitors is the dual-mode function that allows users to switch between 4K resolution and Full HD (FHD) refresh rates. To ensure image quality when switching to FHD, ASUS has implemented Smart Pixel technology. This system performs 4K upscaling to ensure that the image remains sharp and detailed even when the monitor is not operating at its native resolution.
To avoid motion artifacts, the monitors use “Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync” technology. This technology enables the integrated ELMB to work in tandem with variable refresh rates, reducing ghosting and image tearing during fast-paced sequences. In addition, all three models are VESA DisplayHDR 400 certified to improve contrast and brightness.
