'World's first' 1,080 Hertz gaming monitor with dual-mode support announced — HKC's super speedy panel hits peak speeds at 720p, steps down to 540Hz at 1440p, reportedly features DP 2.1 UHBR20

HKC's 1,080Hz gaming monitor.

We've seen a lot of brands launch high refresh rate monitors this year, pushing ever closer to that 1,000 Hz barrier, a feat that HKC has now also achieved. Previously, we saw the company tease a 1,000 Hz monitor a few months ago, and now it has been unveiled as the AntGamer ANT275PQ MAX. It's a Fast TN panel with a native 1440p resolution that can boost to 1,080 Hz at 720p thanks to dual mode.

Pushing over 1,000 FPS at 1080p would be challenging for most GPUs, and most game engines don't yet support those levels. So, if 1,080 Hz seems too much in a situation, you can always switch to the monitor's native 1440p resolution that will still offer you 540 Hz, plenty for cutting-edge esports gaming. To support that, the monitor is said to feature DisplayPort 2.1 UHBR20 connectivity.
