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.
We don't know anything apart from those specs, but we can speculate that it's a 27-inch monitor given the "275" naming convention. As a TN panel, we can only expect so much in terms of color accuracy and contrast levels, and we doubt there will be any local dimming on a model focused solely on gamers. Black frame insertion can help; however, it's not really useful at such high refresh rates.
