What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing is inconsistent about the screen shape: the title and feature copy call it 1500R curved, while a product detail says Flat. Brightness is listed as “1027.8” without a unit, and colour gamut appears as “125” in one detail but 90% DCI-P3 and sRGB 125% elsewhere. Confirm the precise display specification before purchase. FreeSync compatibility may depend on the connected device and software support.
