The device features a 26.5-inch QD-OLED panel. It displays images at a maximum resolution of 2,560 x 1,440 pixels. This resolution is commonly referred to as QHD or 2K.

The monitor supports AMD FreeSync Premium. This feature synchronizes the display refresh rate with the game frame rate. It removes screen tearing and stabilizes the visual experience.
Color performance is strong on this panel. The XB27OU covers 99% of the DCI-P3 color gamut. It maintains a Delta E accuracy below 2. The display supports HDR10 and 10-bit color. These specs improve contrast, color depth, and brightness compared to standard dynamic range. The panel produces deep blacks and strong contrast.
