Good image quality that can be used in games and everyday use, the wide image quality adjustment that leads to winning

The Intone M3 is a 240Hz high refresh rate (compatible with variable refresh rates) and suppresses flickering and jerks with a response speed of 1 ms. The highest image quality of VESA DisplayhDr400 is also a strength, and the SRGB cover rate is 99%. It supports 107 billion colors. High contrast and vivid coloring will be effective not only for highly competitive genres such as FPS, but also in single play games and daily PC work. Even in videos and photo editing, the colors are beautifully reflected.

In addition, the width of the image quality adjustment is also a key point. There are many items that can be adjusted such as brightness and color, and you can pursue winning settings for each game. Switching is easy because you can register with preset. In addition, using the Black equalizer, which is the highlight of the game assist function, you can also get the advantage that you can easily find enemies hidden in dark horns and shadows. These settings can be easily adjusted on the PC, and you can save different settings for each game title.

A wealth of connection terminals and high layout freedom

The posture and keyboard mouse environment during game play are ten people. It is likely that some people interfere with the monitor stand, but this unit uses a tripod stand, so the angle and height of the monitor can be adjusted. Like the Intone M9, not only has a high degree of freedom of keyboard and mouse, but also has a cable storage hole in the monitor joint, so that the connection cable of each hardware can be stored neatly.

The terminals that can be connected are as follows. It is abundant for gaming PCs and home game consoles. When switching the input device (PC/console), it is also equipped with an auto KVM switch that automatically switches the connection destination of peripheral devices (keyboard/mouse/headset).

DisplayPort 1.4 x1

HDMI 2.1 x2

USB-A X3 (Downstream)

USB-B X1 (Upstream)

USB-C X1 (DP Alt Mode/Upstream)

3.5 mm audio jack

In addition, the AC adapter is smaller than the Intone M9 and is no longer in space.

Vividness of color that enhances immersion in games

Intone M3 does not support directly below type LED part, but has no black collapse and realizes the beauty of the color that sinks firmly. Some monitors, which are not good at, are also vivid.

The technology cultivated in the same Sony product BRAIN was used, so I felt a color expression that would sink black firmly that did not impair the game experience due to black crushing or white jumps. And most attractive is the width of the gradation. It is very reliable that it is difficult to fly even if the image quality is adjusted for each genre with FPS etc. or the brightness is increased. It seems that it will be a monitor that can aim for victory in games of various genres, not only in FPS/TPS.
