High-Speed Monitor Debuts at 750Hz, Yet Current GPUs and Budgets Struggle to Keep Pace
New High-End Gaming Monitor Debuts: HKC Ant Esports ANT257PF 750Hz Monitor
A new contender has entered the gaming monitor market, with HKC Ant Esports unveiling the ANT257PF 750Hz monitor. This innovative device offers significant real-world advantages for competitive gaming, particularly in fast-paced esports titles like Counter-Strike 2 and Valorant.
With an unprecedented 750Hz refresh rate, the ANT257PF monitor is currently the highest commercially available, providing the potential for smoother and more responsive gameplay when paired with capable hardware. The monitor's 24.5-inch Full HD (1920×1080) display, using a Fast TN panel optimized for quick pixel response and esports performance, further enhances the gaming experience.
The Fast TN panel also boasts a 0.8ms response time, reducing motion blur and ghosting, which are crucial in competitive gaming. Additionally, the monitor supports adaptive sync technologies such as AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync, ensuring tear-free gaming experiences.
However, the monitor's advantages come with certain limitations. The 850Hz refresh rate requires extremely powerful GPU and DisplayPort 1.4 support, meaning that most consumer-level setups cannot fully exploit the 750Hz potential, limiting practical benefits for many users. The panel being TN-based also means inferior color reproduction and viewing angles compared to IPS or OLED panels, potentially affecting visual quality outside competitive scenarios.
Furthermore, the full 750Hz capability may only be available at certain scaled resolutions (1280×960 or 1024×768), potentially reducing image sharpness or requiring gaming at lower than native resolution. Lastly, the monitor's high price tag of $1,115 makes it a relatively expensive option for most gamers.
Independent reviews should confirm the monitor's real-world latency, strobe/blur behavior, and the performance of its DP 1.4 pipeline at 750Hz. The availability of the monitor outside China is currently unclear, as it was first teased at Computex 2025.
In conclusion, the HKC Ant Esports ANT257PF 750Hz monitor offers a niche but compelling proposition for high-level competitive esports players seeking every millisecond of advantage. However, practical gains depend heavily on having top-tier GPU hardware, and the use of a TN panel may limit image quality for non-competitive use. This makes it a product primarily aimed at serious esports enthusiasts with elite PC setups.
