Chinese eSports firm worked with AMD on 1,000 Hz gaming monitor primed for 2026 debut
Beyond that, the Phantom is heavily leaning into the health aspect, touting better eye care as looking "through" the display will reduce eye strain. Many professionals already recommend turning away from screens at looking at different objects can help with fatigue. Though, effectively looking inside your monitor versus just directly glancing at a window might not be so different.
Especially when you consider that our eyes work just as hard to focus on any object, so consuming content on a see-through display that shows the background would have the same effect on your eyes as looking at a regular screen, but we're not medical experts here.
As for the specs, we're looking at a 24-inch panel with a native 4K resolution on a 16:9 aspect ratio. Visual Instruments says the Phantom has "Ultra HDR" as it can boost up to 5,000 nits of peak brightness, which, if true, is extremely impressive. The monitor has 100% coverage of the sRGB color space, while you get USB-C and HDMI for connectivity. The marketing material specifies the Phantom works with all consoles, computers, and phones that support these video outs.
Right now, the monitor is in sort of at early access stage, with only 10 units being manufactured — three of which are already booked. There is no official pricing, since apparently each unit is "configured to your preference," which should be in the range of an Apple Studio Display i.e., $1,600. You get a one-year warranty to back up your purchase.
