Manufacturers have been pushing the limits of monitor refresh rates, with Asus currently leading the pack with its ROG Swift PG248QP 540Hz gaming display. However, TCL CSOT, a subsidiary of appliance manufacturer TCL, recently signaled that the monitor Hertz wars still have a long way to go, after demonstrating a 4K@1000 display panel at Display Week 2024.
What's more impressive is that TCL first deployed the high refresh rate technology at 4K resolution. In contrast, the 540 Hz Asus ROG Swift monitor only has a 1080p display. LG also introduced a dual refresh rate monitor for those who want 4K quality for watching movies and productivity, and 480 Hz for gaming. However, the LG UltraGear monitor only gives you a maximum of 240 Hz when you're at 4K resolution. You need to lower your quality (via a dedicated button) to Full HD if you want to use it at its maximum refresh rate.
