At the conference, ANTGAMER introduced new products across three key categories: ultra-high 1000Hz refresh rates, high-resolution and high-refresh-rate displays in compact sizes, and premium OLED displays—addressing the diverse needs of different players.
Alongside the launch of its flagship esports products, HKC’s panel R&D experts also unveiled three innovative technologies: True 1000Hz, HMO, and the ANTGAMER True Pixel Engine (AVS).
The first major product to take the stage was the ANT25ASF, a 24.1-inch native FHD 1000Hz esports monitor and the world’s first true 1000Hz model. As esports enters the 1000Hz era,the ANT25ASF is set to raise the bar once again for tournament-grade esports display hardware worldwide.
Positioned at the forefront of compact 2K high-refresh-rate displays, the 24.5-inch ANT255TQ flagship esports monitor features a 2K resolution and 540Hz refresh rate. It combines the high electron mobility advantages of HMO with a nine-mask process. Powered by a high-performance dual-chip architecture and the proprietary ANTGAMER True Pixel Engine (AVS), it delivers clearer and more vivid image quality.
To accommodate a wider range of usage scenarios, the 27-inch ANT275TQ, featuring the same core specifications, was also unveiled at the event.
Another highly anticipated product, the ANT272TUE, features an LG Display Tandem WOLED panel. It supports dual-mode switching between native 4K at 240Hz and FHD at 480Hz, delivering a new experience for OLED esports monitors.
Authoritative Certification Establishes New Standards
At the event, Stanley Liu, Regional General Manager of Electrical and Electronic Product Services at TÜV Rheinland Greater China, took the stage to officially announce the test reports and present multiple certification certificates.
During the conference, ANTGAMER and TÜV Rheinland jointly introduced certification standards for native esports performance and True 1000Hz technology. Supported by testing and certification from an authoritative independent organization, these standards provide clearer criteria for evaluating performance, help consumers better identify high-performance esports display equipment, and promote more standardized development across the esports display industry.
Strategic Partnership to Advance the 1000Hz Era
ANTGAMER and AMD formally signed a strategic cooperation agreement for the 1000Hz project at the conference. David Wang, Senior Vice President of AMD, attended the event, where representatives from both companies completed the signing ceremony.
