The 31.5-inch XB323QK NV uses an IPS-type matrix (IPS type) with a resolution of 3840 × 2160 pixels (4K UHD). The novelty offers a refresh rate of 144 Hz. The company says nothing about the response of the XB323QK NV, but it is likely to be 4 ms. Screen brightness - 400 cd / m2.
The manufacturer does not indicate the type of matrix, but it is more likely to be an Innolux M315DCA-K7B AAS. It has a static contrast ratio of 1000: 1, support for 10-bit color depth (8 bits + FRC) and the manufacturer's declared viewing angles of 178 degrees horizontally and vertically.
