The brightness is up to 400cd/m² and the gray-to-gray response time is 8ms, or 5ms in fast mode. The monitors support 100 percent of the Rec. 709 and sRGB color gamuts and 98 percent of the DCI-P3 color gamut. The viewing angles would be a maximum of 178 degrees both horizontally and vertically.

Both monitors have built-in USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports and act as a USB-C hub. In addition, they can deliver 90W via one of the upstream USB-C ports, which also support DisplayPort 1.4 and HDCP 2.2 in alt-mode.
