A 32-inch 4K QD-OLED curved gaming monitor with a 240Hz refresh rate, aimed at enthusiasts who want HDMI 2.1 on a console and DisplayPort on a PC at the same time. Both HDMI 2.1 ports carry the full 40Gbps stack, and HDMI 2 also supports eARC — send lossless Atmos straight to a soundbar. A built-in USB hub lets you share keyboard and mouse between two machines via KVM. Don't confuse the downstream USB-C on the side for a DisplayPort input — it only carries data and a trickle of power.
32″ curved 4K QD-OLED gaming monitor with 240Hz, 2x HDMI 2.1 (one with eARC), DisplayPort 1.4, and a USB 3.2 hub.

Notes & Compatibility
eARC on HDMI 2 — pass Dolby Atmos to a compatible soundbar. 4K at 240Hz over DisplayPort 1.4 uses DSC. Both HDMI 2.1 ports are full 40Gbps supporting 4K at 240Hz with DSC. USB-C downstream port is data-only with 15W for accessory charging — it is NOT a DP Alt Mode video input.
