Tcl breaks down the refresh rate barrier to demonstrate the 4K1000Hz panel

Gaming monitor technology continues to progress. When you see new models coming to the market with higher refresh rates than ever before, it's usually the 1080p model. Especially with the advent of OLED technology, the refresh rate is also upward on higher resolution panels. 

1000Hz, but it was not seen in any game panel. Possible screens of 540hz are on the market, but they are still rare and very expensive 1080P TN panels aimed at competitive gamers. Examples of 4K, such as the stunning Asus ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM, support 240Hz, but the 2024HZ 4K panel discovered by Blur Busters at the DisplayWeek1000 conference in California

Surprisingly, Tcl does not provide any information about this panel, while Blur Busters does not support LCD displays. It is said that it is. OLED is rapidly catching up, and in 2024 Asus and LG's dual-mode 480Hz products will be on the market, allowing a prototype of 1000Hz within the next few years.

This panel looks very impressive on paper, but with some caveats. The screen appears as if it is quite a proof-of-concept, and if you need a compromise to achieve such a refresh rate, there is no information about anything.

Next, the question is whether Displayport2.1with Display Stream Compression (DSC) can drive such a panel.This means that future DP3.0 or HDMI3.0 standards may need to support such refresh rates without crazy levels of compression or loss of color depth. And you will need a powerful graphics card and/or CPU to get somewhere near these kinds of frame rates. Some kind of next-generation frame generation technology may be a prerequisite.

So while this is an impressive feat by TCL, it's like it has limited practicality in the near future. 1000Hz is more likely to debut in 4p or 1000p resolution before seeing 1080Hz in 1440k

Beyond the game, we're looking forward to what the 1000Hz content will look like. Planet Earth4 Perhaps "By the time a display that supports 4K at 1000Hz becomes a thing, Sir David Attenborough will probably be 120 years old, and we are turning to the next big thing. I want a 16K1000hz window replacement panel with my wall size. 

In the meantime, check out the pick of the best high refresh rate game monitors of 2024. You don't even need a 2030 graphics card to do any of these.
