An elevated visual & audio experience

Get immersed in the game with a PC that supports Dolby Vision™ and Dolby Atmos®. Dolby Vision™ incorporates metadata defined by studios and developers, thereby enabling optimal color profiles and breathtaking visual experiences. Dolby Atmos®, on the other hand, provides a scalable sound technology that places every voice and instrument in its own space—so you can experience a game exactly as the creators envisioned.

ComfortView Plus is a hardware-based low blue light filter that doesn’t consume resources or hurt performance, while Advanced Optimus is a technology from NVIDIA® that enables longer battery life and the tear-free, stutter-free gameplay of NVIDIA® G-SYNC®.
