You have to give it to AT, some of the most "creative" headlines in the field. Part of the reason why I always keep coming back multiple times in a day to check for new tech "scoops" :toast:
"Since we are dealing with a TN panel, its viewing angles and color quality are expected to be poor, so we are only talking about support for sRGB color gamut, without wider color ranges like DCI-P3."
My understanding is that it's the quality of a monitor's backlight, not the pixel type, that determines the monitor's gamut. TN panels typically never go beyond sRGB (if they even manage to reach that pathetically archaic standard) simply because the color shift issue gives them the excuse not to go beyond.
Pretty much, the indicator of what kind of color gamut a panel can handle with proper back lighting is the static contrast ratio (a wider range of colors requires a higher contrast ratio). If it does actually hit 1000:1 static contrast advertised then it could handle a wider gamut but would need something better than a standard/cheap W-LED back light to do it. If the contrast is good, then the only weakness a TN has is viewing angles, otherwise they are actually really solid on accuracy, gamut and of course response time.

Aww, I saw 27" and I got excited for a moment but then saw it was a 1080p panel. Really looking forward to seeing more 1440p 240hz panels available.PeachNCream - Friday, March 27, 2020 - link
Zowie? That seems like an odd product name.Cellar Door - Friday, March 27, 2020 - link
Try to google something you have no idea about before posting.imaheadcase - Friday, March 27, 2020 - link
Try to learn about someone just mentioning a thought than actually needing to google something.PeachNCream - Saturday, March 28, 2020 - link
Your leap to an ill-informed conclusion is not something that a Google search can fix.boozed - Friday, March 27, 2020 - link

I'd rather use 175hz 1440p rather than 240hz FHD.brontes - Saturday, March 28, 2020 - link

"Gone in 0.5 ms"Since this is GtG, the time it takes to turn from grey to white and back to grey, it's better titled: "There and back again in 0.5ms"
