With a horizontal and vertical angle of 178 degrees, a resolution of 2560 X 1600 pixels, and a pixel pitch of 0.251 makes this computer monitor exceptional for business or pleasure.

The monitor has 16.7 million colors and 400 brightness-nits (a measurement of brightness) and has a processor that performs a trillion operations per second to ensure the highest picture clarity and detail.
