Nomad76Tianma, a leading global manufacturer of flat panel displays

lexluthermiesterEverytime I read this kind of statement, whatever follows is completely dismissed as utter nonsense.. Companies really need to stop describing themselves is such ways..

HyderzThis is one of those companies that’s either gonna become a well known brand in a couple of years or quietly dissolves into the abyss ….

Vayra86But really, 1200:1 guys? Do you want a cookie for the achievement?

lexluthermiesterNot as a major player in consumer electronics they haven't. This is the first time I've ever heard of them and I've been very involved in this industry for nearly 40 decades.

zenlessyankDamn you're old.

lexluthermiesterNot really. I got started very young. I hand built my first PC at 6 years old with no help other than the manual.

Vayra86This feels like the most glorified sale of a TN panel in 2026 to date.

For non-LED panels? 1200:1 is not shabby. What I scoff at is the 610hz@1ms. Bit of an eyebrow raising claim..

Prima.VeraJust curious, how big the market is for displays with +240Hz displays. I seriously doubt that the average Joe user sees any different between a 120Hz panel and a 610Hz panel on his gaming with a 5060 card or similar, for example.

Vayra861200:1 is bottom tier, IPS/TN static contrast, and its too low for any kind of deep blacks or good 'pop' on your screen, unless you like major oversaturation. Good for office environment, pretty weak for entertainment.

Vayra86I'm not sure what tech they got behind this one, but spec wise, other than the refresh rate, this is all in the realm of complete poop in 2026.

lexluthermiesterThat's one school of thought. Some people, myself included, don't like or use dynamic contrast and as such, native/static contrast performance is a consideration. Additionally, some people care more about color reproduction and saturation rather than perfect black levels. I personally am not at all bothered by imperfect black levels.

As such, a 1200:1 native contrast ratio is something that is reasonable and perfectly acceptable as long as pixel, color and frame-time performance is solid. For anyone looking at the above display, those same metrics are far more valuable than contrast.


On this point we mostly agree.

Vayra86Well, there are simply many other options on the market with similar specs and a much better static contrast, and higher contrast simply improves the image, there is no question.

Vayra86So, you buy this only for the 610hz... which no content in the gaming space actually runs at :D

lexluthermiesterVery fair point.


That point is debatable. CSGO at 1080P with a higher end CPU/GPU and moderate settings can easily get close. Other similar "e-sports" games can likely get close as well. Still, we seem to agree on the point of just "why". With 480hz displays of good quality out there, 610hz is a tough sell unless the screen performs very well in other areas too. What would have made more sense is if they did 540hz at 0.5ms pixel times, which is doable.

Vayra86Its pure marketing. Even CSGO will play better at say 240hz locked than it will at 360hz/fps but not locked.
