‘World’s first’ 1,080 Hertz gaming monitor with dual-mode assist introduced — HKC’s tremendous speedy panel hits peak speeds at 720p, steps right down to 540Hz at 1440p, reportedly options DP 2.1 UHBR20

We’ve seen quite a lot of manufacturers launch excessive refresh fee screens this 12 months, pushing ever nearer to that 1,000 Hz barrier, a feat that HKC has now additionally achieved. Previously, we noticed the corporate tease a 1,000 Hz monitor a number of months in the past, and now it has been unveiled because the AntGamer ANT275PQ MAX. It’s a Fast TN panel with a local 1440p decision that may increase to 1,080 Hz at 720p due to twin mode.

Pushing over 1,000 FPS at 1080p could be difficult for many GPUs, and most sport engines do not but assist these ranges. So, if 1,080 Hz appears an excessive amount of in a scenario, you may all the time change to the monitor’s native 1440p decision that can nonetheless give you 540 Hz, a lot for cutting-edge esports gaming. To assist that, the monitor is alleged to characteristic DisplayPort 2.1 UHBR20 connectivity.

We do not know something aside from these specs, however we will speculate that it is a 27-inch monitor given the “275” naming conference. As a TN panel, we will solely count on a lot by way of shade accuracy and distinction ranges, and we doubt there will likely be any native dimming on a mannequin targeted solely on players. Black body insertion can assist; nonetheless, it is not likely helpful at such excessive refresh charges.
