Designed for gamers who demand the best from themselves and their gear, Spectrum Black delivers cutting edge performance and unparalleled image quality.
Many of our community members have been spoiled by the immersive experience that OLED technology offers on TVs, phones, and laptops. Once you try OLED you don’t want to go back. But until now, no gaming monitor could compete. That is about to change.
No blooming, deep blacks and infinite contrast ratio have long been core to OLED technology, but the micro lens array in our 3rd generation W-OLED panel drives the brightness higher than ever before.
Monitor manufacturers lock their OLED panels behind hazy matte polarizers to reduce reflections. Our
community of enthusiasts from around the world has spoken: reducing reflections is not worth the
drop in black levels, sharp detail, and vibrant colours. That's why we offer Spectrum Black with Corning
Gorilla Glass, unleashing the full potential of our OLED panel.
If you’re serious about winning, you’ll take every advantage you can get. Spectrum Black is packed with
features that elevate your gameplay. We can’t promise that you’ll win every game, but we can promise
you won’t lose because of your monitor.
With refresh rates up to 480Hz and a response time of less than one millisecond all your frames stay sharp and in focus.
Strobing reduces motion blur and enhances the visual clarity of fast-moving objects. Black frame insertion (BFI) boosts your performance in fast paced games.
Although OLED is already one of the fastest technologies on themarket, we focused on reducing display lag as much as possible, soyou see the action as it happens, not after the fact.
Between FreeSync, G-SYNC, and HDMI 2.1 you get smooth animations without distracting tears or stutters no matter what gear you use.
Although OLED is already one of the fastest technologies on themarket, we focused on reducing display lag as much as possible, so you see the action as it happens, not after the fact.
We made sure to have a wide selection of ports available. HDMI 2.1 ensures that you can use 4K and new
features such as variable refresh rate on the latest consoles, and our Type-C port will connect your monitor
and peripherals to your laptop with a single cable, while charging it at the same time!
Cable management is easily the biggest pain point for anyone trying to set up a tidy desk. Reducing the number of cables also helps reduce clutter, dust build-up, and the risk of something getting stuck or pulled off your desk. Our optional built-in USB hub, KVM switch, 100W USB-C charger and dedicated audio amp let you get more done with fewer cables. Without the clutter, you can focus on your game.
We are aware that one of the major concerns of OLED technology is image retention, often called ‘burn-in’.
Spectrum Black comes with a number of features that reduce and counteract the causes of image retention.
Additionally, we have developed a cooling system that further prolongs the lifetime of your monitor. But don’t
just take our word for it, our warranty covers burn-in for 2 years. So all you have to worry about is winning.
Elegant yet sturdy, the optional Spectrum Stand provides solid support without taking up too much space. The
wide range of adjustments lets you set up your monitor for maximum comfort.
We believe the best products are built hand in hand with the enthusiasts that use them. Every product in our
portfolio is crowd-developed with a global community of tech, gaming, and productivity enthusiasts.
Spectrum Black is no exception. As a result, it has everything you need and nothing you don’t.

Designed for gamers who demand the best from themselves and their gear, Spectrum Black delivers cutting edge performance and unparalleled image quality.
46% of our community members wanted to use their own VESA arm with the monitor. Pay only for what you need and get the most value out of your Spectrum.
Monitor manufacturers lock their OLED panels behind hazy matte polarizers to reduce reflections. Our
community of enthusiasts from around the world has spoken: reducing reflections is not worth the
drop in black levels, sharp detail, and vibrant colours. That's why we offer Spectrum Black with Corning
