Koorui showcased its high-end 49" ultra-wide QD-OLED monitor, the S4941XO, with a 5120x1440 resolution and a 1800R curvature design. Meanwhile, Antgamer unveiled its flagship eSports gaming monitor, the ANT275PQ, featuring a refresh rate as high as 1080Hz.

But there's one more product that was the highlight of HKC's own booth, and that is the world's first 8K MiniLED. Harnessing the MiniLED technology with 2000+ MiniLED backlight zones, the monitor offers a visual spectacle with a peak brightness rated at 1800 nits. The monitor also offers full DCI-P3 wide color gamut, making it perfect for content creators, visual artists, and professionals who want accurate color.

The world's first 36.5-inch 8KMiniLED display on display this time sets top parameters and processes. It is not only the first 8K display in the world to reach a peak brightness of 1800nit, but also equipped with an accurate 2000 partition MiniLED backlighting system, with advanced local dimming algorithms, achieving the ultimate dynamic contrast and deep dark field performance, effectively eliminating the halo phenomenon. Its color performance covers 100% DCI-P3 wide color gamut, ensuring extremely realistic color reproduction.

The monitor comes with an 8K (7680 x 4320), far exceeding the 4K, 5K, and even 6K capabilities that some new designs these days have to offer. The 8K experience is offered in a 36.5" MiniLED panel, so you'll get some sharp images. At the moment, HKC is just showing off the technology and not using it in an actual product, but we can expect such designs to roll out in flagship monitors later this year.
