A 610Hz QHD gaming monitor panel is the kind of spec that makes even jaded PC gamers pause. If it ships as promised, it could make motion look cleaner during the moments that decide a round, when you’re flicking, tracking, and correcting in a split second.
What makes this one notable is the combo. It’s a 27-inch 2560×1440 LCD panel, so it’s chasing extreme speed without dropping down to 1080p. That matters if you like the sharper look of 1440p but still play competitively.
It’s still early, though. This is being shown as a panel demo by Tianma at CES 2026, not a retail monitor, and it’s being displayed by appointment.
How it gets to 610Hz
The refresh claim is tied to changes inside the panel stack. The design uses oxide TFT-LCD tech, plus a positive-mode liquid crystal material, an optimized alignment layer, and a refined TFT structure.
In plain terms, it’s trying to get more speed out of the panel itself rather than leaning on tricks that can introduce tradeoffs. The real test is whether those gains survive the jump from a demo to mass-produced monitors with consistent tuning. For a preview of what happens with high refresh rates, Samsung released the Odyssey OLED G6 that sports 500Hz.
More than just refresh rate
Refresh rate grabs the headlines, with this year’s CES attendees pushing refresh even higher, but the supporting specs matter if you actually want clearer motion. The panel lists 1ms GTG response time, which is the other number people chase when blur becomes the enemy.
It also calls out anti-glare and anti-reflection treatment. That can be a quiet quality-of-life win, especially if you play under overhead lights or near a window and you hate fighting reflections mid-match.
On the image side, the panel is listed at 350 nits brightness, 1200 to 1 contrast, and 100 percent DCI-P3 coverage. If those figures hold in a finished product, you shouldn’t have to accept a dull, washed-out picture just to get top-end speed.
What you should watch next
The missing pieces are the ones that decide whether you should care this year. There’s no pricing, no ship window, and no confirmed monitor models yet.
If you’re shopping soon, don’t hold your whole upgrade plan for 610Hz. Watch for a monitor maker to announce a shipping display built around this panel, then look for real-world testing on motion clarity, response behavior, and how hard it is to actually feed 610 frames per second at 1440p.
