SpawN
“Sleekest height adjustment
I’ve ever experienced! I could
adjust the height of the screen
with just one nger. Really
good design, it even lets you
hang your headset on the
back.”
sker
“If you want to play like a pro,
then you have to see like a pro.
We’re letting you in on a secret
with the RTS and FPS modes.
These preset modes have
been created by pro gamers
like myself to give you the best
settings for certain games.”
Potti
“Having the Black eQualizer
lets me see all the dark areas
on the map a lot clearer, where
otherwise it’s a total nightmare.
The coolest thing about it is
that it actually reduces the
time I get ashed!”
HeatoN
“Having the Display Mode and
Smart Scaling lets me play on
different screen sizes without
having to have different
monitors and on top of that,
having 2ms GTG response
time and 120Hz refresh rate
really brings back the good old
days of playing on a CRT.”
ahl
“I’m really picky about my
screen settings when it comes
to gaming so the S Switch is
pretty cool cause I can assign
different screen settings to the
numbered buttons. I have one
for CS, one for StarCraft II, and
another one for movies.”
LED Backlight Monitor
Superb contrast ratio, brightness and details are achieved on our
energy-efcient LED backlight monitor. The entire screen produces
constant illumination for vibrant colors.
