What is the actual screen size and refresh rate? The title says 18" 300Hz, but the technical specs list a 16" 240Hz display.
The technical specifications confirm the display is a 16.0" QHD+ (2560 x 1600) panel with a 240Hz refresh rate, 3ms response time, and G-SYNC support. The 18" 300Hz mention in the title appears to be an error.
