    Response

    How fast does it respond?

    Makers put GtG and MPRT figures in the same column; this catalogue records which one it is.

    RESPONSE

    A response time is not a number until it says how it was measured.

    Historical Product Info

    Official launch details

    Instead of tracking today's retail price, Kacbu keeps the product's official launch information as a reference.

    Samsung designs its displays in South Korea. Its specification pages state no assembly country, so none is claimed here.

    This is not the current retail price — it shows the product's historical, official launch information.
