❓ Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: How is HDR performance?
  Bright and vivid, yet lacks local dimming; ambient glare is controlled but HDR punch is softer than OLED or Mini-LED.

  Not optimized for fast-paced gaming: 60 Hz refresh and 5 ms GtG lead to motion blur; Adaptive‑Sync from 48–60 Hz helps casual play.
• Q: Auto KVM limitations?
  Works automatically when switching input cables; seamless but may require occasional OSD navigation.
• Q: Should I calibrate?
  It's Calman factory‑calibrated (ΔE < 2) and consistent in real use; optional recalibration is beneficial for critical workflows.
• Q: How does it compare to Apple Studio?
  The PA27JCV matches Studio Display pixel‑density and color, but outpaces it on price, USB‑C PD (96 W vs 98 W), and broader input support.
