World's first tri-mode 1300Hz gaming monitor and 12K ultrawide confirmed

Q: Does the article state whether the 1300Hz panel uses Fast-TN or IPS, and what implication does that have for panel type assumptions?

The article explicitly says it does not specify whether the 1300Hz panel is Fast-TN. The author states they would assume it is Fast-TN because IPS is not mentioned anywhere in the announcement. The implication is that panel-type assumptions lean toward Fast-TN but remain unconfirmed.

Q: What does 'tri-mode' refer to in the context of the 1300Hz gaming monitor as described in the article?

In this article, "tri-mode" refers to the monitor offering three preset resolution and refresh-rate combinations. The piece explains that triple-mode would mean three presets (for example, 4K at 240Hz, QHD at 400Hz, and Full HD at 500Hz).

Q: What screen size and resolution does HKC claim for the 12K ultrawide display in the announcement?

HKC claims the 12K ultrawide display is a 12K-resolution panel with an 83.4-inch screen size. The announcement describes it as a 12K, 83.4-inch ultrawide display.

Q: What specific refresh-rate presets (resolution + Hz) does the article suggest might correspond to the tri-mode feature?

The article suggests tri-mode presets could be 4K at 240Hz, QHD at 400Hz, and Full HD at 500Hz. It also notes those presets were not mentioned in the press release.

HKC will showcase 1300Hz, 1000Hz, and 12K display tech at ChinaJoy 2025, aiming to redefine competitive and immersive visual experiences.

HKC has announced that it will be showcasing a range of new monitors at ChinaJoy 2026, where it states in a new press release that it will debut the world's first tri-mode 1300Hz gaming monitor, along with a 12K, 83.4-inch ultrawide display. These unveilings demonstrate how HKC is prepared to push the envelope of display technology, despite the lack of hardware to actually power it or a large selection of games to take advantage of it.

The company will showcase these groundbreaking products at its booth from August 1 to 4. In addition to the 1300Hz panel, HKC will present a 1000Hz Fast-TN display, both catering to elite esports players and enthusiasts demanding nothing but the highest possible in-game framerate.

But funnily enough, there are only a handful of games that can actually reach that 1300Hz or even 1000Hz refresh rate, with the main one of the small group being Valve's Counter-Strike 2. While it doesn't specifically state if the 1300Hz variant is also a Fast-TN panel, I would assume it would be, as IPS isn't mentioned once in the announcement.

Triple-mode also means there should be three preset resolutions and refresh rates, such as 4K at 240Hz, QHD at 400Hz and Full HD at 500Hz. Those presets weren't mentioned in the press release.

Despite the minuscule market for esports gaming displays at this caliber, these displays represent a major leap in panel technology, as HKC explains its deep R&D expertise and manufacturing capabilities have enabled their creation.

The 12K ultrawide model, in particular, is a testament to the company's ambition to lead the next wave of display innovation, delivering ultra-high resolutions and massive screen real estate that HKC writes will "unlock new dimensions for gaming, movie watching and multi-tasking workflows."
