The world’s first 1080 Hz gaming monitor is announced; look!

Discover a screen almost as fast as light! World’s first 1080 Hz gaming monitor announced with dual mode and DisplayPort 2.1.

Jokes e hyperboles aside, a Chinese manufacturer HKC revealed the full specifications of the monitor AntGamer ANT275PQ MAXwhich achieves an astonishing refresh rate.

The device had been mentioned by the company a few months ago and is now positioned as an option for players looking for maximum image fluidity.

How High Refresh Rate Mode Works

O panel is of the TN Fast type and has native resolution Quad HD (1440p). To reach the mark of 1080 Hz, the monitor operates at a dual mode that reduces resolution to 720p.

In your maximum resolution of 1440pa refresh rate offered is 540 Hz. The connection to reach these frequencies is made via DisplayPort 2.1 UHBR20.

Specifications and expectations for the TN panel

Based on available data, it is believed to be a 27-inch model, deduced by the number “275” in its name. By using the TN technologyit is common for these monitors to present moderate performance in color accuracy and contrast.

Features like local zone dimming (local dimming) are generally not a priority in products with this profile. The blackboard insertion function (BFI) can be included, but its usefulness decreases at extremely high refresh rates.

Positioning in the gaming monitor market

A AntGamer is a sub-brand of HKCa group that holds around 10% of the global monitor market and has a strong presence in Asia. When it was announced, the price of the ANT275PQ MAX in Chinese market era close to US$1,000a value that places it on a level superior to many models OLED e Mini-LED available.

The world’s first 1080 Hz gaming monitor is announced; conclusions

When the Chinese company “hit its chest” and claimed to be the “first 1080 Hz monitor in the world”, some controversy may have been created. Other companies are expected to present similar products at CES.

A Samsungfor example, has already announced the Odyssey G6a panel IPS that arrives at 1040 Hz em 1080pwhich is technically superior to the result obtained by HKCwhich achieved a slightly higher refresh rate, but with a considerably lower resolution (in addition to having a panel with better colors and contrast).

Finally, we emphasize that, previously, the TCL CSOT also displayed 1,000 Hz panel prototypesincluding versions in 4K e 8Kwhich are not yet production models.
