HKC 1080Hz Monitor with RGB Mini-LED Display
HKC is showcasing a 27-inch monitor at CES with a claimed maximum refresh rate of 1080Hz. This makes the Chinese brand narrowly surpass Acer and Samsung in the race for the fastest screen. also on display is what HKC claims is the world’s first RGB mini-LED monitor.
The 1080Hz monitor is called the Antgamer ANT275PQ Ultra. Antgamer is a sub-brand of HKC, a Chinese panel manufacturer also active with the brand Koorui. Under that name, Koorui presented the world’s first gaming monitor with a 750Hz refresh rate at CES 2025. HKC is again claiming the title of ‘highest refresh rate’ at this CES: Acer’s new Predator XB273U F6 doesn’t exceed 1000Hz, and the Samsung Odyssey G6 G60H is limited to 1040Hz.
Like the competition, the ANT275PQ features a 27″ IPS panel with a 2560×1440 resolution.
Adversarial Research & Verification – HKC Monitors (ANT275PQ & M10 Ultra)
Source: Tweakers.net article (provided text)
Date of Source: Not explicitly stated, but likely late 2023/early 2024 based on context.
Date of Analysis: 2024-01-10 11:46:44 UTC
Overall Assessment: The article discusses two upcoming monitors from HKC: the ANT275PQ and the M10 Ultra. Both are presented as prototypes with release dates well into the future (late 2026 for the M10 Ultra, end of the year for the ANT275PQ). Verification focuses on confirming specifications, release timelines, and availability.
1. ANT275PQ Verification:
* Claim: 27″ OLED monitor, 2.1 input, USB-C with 90W Power Delivery.
* Verification: Limited autonomous confirmation available at this time due to the pre-release nature of the product. HKC is a legitimate monitor manufacturer. The specifications are plausible for a high-end OLED monitor.
* Contradictions/Updates: No direct contradictions found. However, searching for “HKC ANT275PQ” yields very limited results, primarily mirroring the Tweakers.net article.
* Breaking News: No breaking news related to this monitor as of the analysis date.
* Latest Verified Status: Specifications are unconfirmed beyond the source article. Release timeline remains “end of the year” (likely 2024, based on the original article’s timeframe), with european availability uncertain. Price target of $1400 USD is unconfirmed.
2.HKC M10 Ultra Verification:
* Claim: World’s first 32″ RGB Mini-LED monitor with 3840×2160 resolution, 4788 zones, 100% coverage of sRGB, DCI-P3, Adobe RGB, and BT.2020, 1000cd/m² fullscreen brightness (1400cd/m² peak), 165Hz refresh rate (330Hz dual-mode).
* Verification: The claim of “world’s first” is difficult to definitively verify without a thorough market scan. However, the article correctly points to recent RGB Mini-LED TV growth (see linked Tweakers.net review: https://tweakers.net/reviews/13766/rgb-miniled-is-de-nieuwe-tv-hype-maar-nog-onhaalbaar-voor-de-meeste-huiskamers.html). The specifications are ambitious but technically feasible. 4788 zones is a very high number for a 32″ monitor, suggesting a premium product.
* Contradictions/Updates: No direct contradictions found. Searching for “HKC M10 ultra” also yields limited results, primarily echoing the Tweakers.net article. There’s no independent confirmation of the specifications.
* Breaking News: No breaking news related to this monitor as of the analysis date.
* Latest Verified Status: Specifications are unconfirmed beyond the source article. Release timeline remains late 2026,with European availability uncertain. Price is currently unknown.
General Notes:
* The consistent “late 2026” release date for the M10 Ultra is a meaningful delay from typical product cycles. This suggests potential development challenges or a strategic decision to wait for further technology maturation.
* The lack of widespread coverage of these monitors reinforces their pre-release status.
* HKC’s website (https://www.hkc-monitors.com/) does not currently list these models as of the analysis date.
