The upgraded ANTGAMER ANT257PQ MAX features a native 1440p resolution @ 540Hz refresh, but can drop down to 720p @ 1080Hz, meaning you're going to want to make sure you have the most powerful GPU you can afford, in order to push upwards of 1080FPS+ even if it is at 720p.

HKC is using a "FAST TN" panel for the new 1080Hz gaming monitor, with the ANTGAMER ANT257PQ MAX gaming monitor when used in its 1080Hz FHD mode, uses AI-powered image processing for extreme-speed FPS performance. The company will have its new 1080Hz gaming monitor beast on display at CES 2026, and the TweakTown team will be there hoping to get some hands- and eyes-on with the 1080FPS+ gaming monitor behemoth.
