A 610Hz QHD gaming monitor panel is the kind of spec that will give even jaded PC gamers pause. If it works as promised, the movement could look cleaner in the moments that make or break a turn, when you’re scrolling, tracking and correcting in a split second.
What makes this one remarkable is the combination. Since it’s a 27-inch, 2560 x 1440 pixel LCD panel, it aims for extreme speed without dropping to 1080p. This is important if you like the sharper look of 1440p but still want to play competitively.
However, it is still early. This will be shown by Tianma at CES 2026 as a panel demo, not a retail monitor, and it will be shown by appointment.
How it gets to 610Hz
The update claim is tied to changes within the section stack. The design uses oxide TFT LCD technology as well as a positive mode liquid crystal material, an optimized alignment layer and a refined TFT structure.
In plain English, it’s about getting more speed out of the panel itself, rather than relying on tricks that can lead to compromises. The real test is whether these gains will survive the transition from a demo monitor to mass-produced monitors with consistent tuning. For a preview of what’s happening with high refresh rates, Samsung released the 500Hz Odyssey OLED G6.
More than just refresh rate
The refresh rate is grabbing the headlines as this year’s CES attendees push the refresh rate even further, but the supporting specs are important if you actually want clearer motion. The panel claims a GTG response time of 1ms, which is the other number people chase when blur becomes the enemy.
It also indicates anti-glare and anti-reflection treatment. This can be a quiet quality of life boost, especially if you play under overhead lights or near a window and hate fighting reflections mid-game.
On the image side, the panel is stated to have a brightness of 350 nits, a contrast of 1200 to 1 and a DCI-P3 coverage of 100 percent. If these numbers hold true in a finished product, you shouldn’t accept a boring, washed-out image just to achieve top speed.
What to watch next
The missing pieces will determine whether you should bother with it this year. There are no prices yet, no shipping window and no confirmed monitor models.
If you’re shopping soon, don’t cancel your entire 610Hz upgrade plan. Watch for a monitor manufacturer to announce a shipping display based on this panel, and then look for real-world testing of motion sharpness, responsiveness, and how difficult it is to actually deliver 610 frames per second at 1440p.
