With Samsung's Game Mode technology, the monitor will offer rapid response to changing colors and brightness, which enables users to see more vivid images even in darker scenes. The U28E590D monitor also supports 1 billion unique colors.
Both monitors offer multi-tasking tools; with Picture-in-Picture technology, users can watch a movie in one window while working on a spreadsheet in another and the Picture-by-Picture feature allows users to connect two PCs to the same monitor.
