The Rapid IPS panel features “liquid crystal molecules” that are 4x faster than standard, reducing motion blur.

There's also Night Vision to tune the darker areas displayed on the screen and multiple gaming modes to switch between including FPS, Racing, RTS, RPG, Reader, Designer, and Cinema, and. Additionally, this monitor is equipped with HDR technology for more vivid images, blue light reduction and anti-flicker technology to reduce the user's eye fatigue, and PBP, PIP, and Split display modes to create different layouts according to the user's needs.

Connectivity options include a Display Port 1.2, 2x HDMI 2.0b ports, a USB-C port (DP alt. mode), 2x USB-A ports, an audio-out 3.5mm jack, and a USB-B upstream port.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
