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

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."
