AOC Announces AGON PRO AGP257FT Monitor with 1000 Hz (1050 Hz OC) Fast IPS Panel

AGON by AOC, the world's leading gaming monitor brand, announces the AGON PRO AGP257FT, the fastest monitor in its line-up to date. The 24.5-inch (62.2 cm) Full HD esports monitor runs at a native 1000 Hz refresh rate, which can be overclocked to 1050 Hz, and pairs this with 0.3 ms GtG (minimum), VESA DisplayHDR 400 and hardware-based eye comfort features. The AGP257FT is designed for professional esports players and gamers in competitive fast-paced titles and is expected to be available from Q1 2027.

At the core of the AGP257FT is an oxide-based Fast IPS panel. Fast-response liquid crystal materials and an advanced panel architecture drive pixels faster than conventional LCD designs, overcoming the voltage-response limits that typically hold LCD panels back at extreme refresh rates. The result is smoother motion, lower frame delay and more immediate visual feedback during flick shots, quick turns and rapidly changing scenes. At 1000 Hz, the AGP257FT draws a new frame every millisecond.

Hands-On with the Acer Predator XB253Q U1 1000 Hz Monitor at IFA 2026

Acer used IFA Berlin to show off the Predator XB253Q U1, a 24.5-inch monitor that hits 1000 Hz at its native 1920x1080 resolution. That's notable because most "1000 Hz" monitors so far have needed a resolution cut to get there. Acer's own XB273U F6 from CES 2026, for example, only reaches 1000 Hz at 720p, dropping down from its native 1440p resolution. The XB253Q U1, on the other hand, uses an IPS panel and skips that compromise, offering full FHD at the full refresh rate. It also comes with Acer's VRB Pro backlight strobing tech to cut down motion blur, along with a circular polarizer layer aimed at reducing eye strain during long sessions. It's also VESA DisplayHDR 400 certified.

It's not the first monitor to pull this off. LG's UltraGear 25G590B got there first, also at 25 inches and 1000 Hz native FHD, and launched at $999.99. Acer's asking $1,099.99 for the XB253Q U1, a $100 premium over LG's price. In Europe it's priced at €1,099, and in China at RMB 7,999. Availability is set for Q1 2027 across North America, EMEA, and China, so this isn't a monitor you can buy just yet. We'll have to wait for independent testing to confirm whether the panel's 0.3 ms response times can actually keep up with 1000 Hz in real gameplay, rather than just on a spec sheet

LG Electronics Announces U.S. Pricing and Availability for World's First Native 1000Hz Full HD Gaming Monitor

LG Electronics (LG) today announced U.S. availability for its latest UltraGear gaming monitor (model 25G590B), priced at $999.99. As the world's first Full HD (FHD / 1,920 x 1,080) gaming monitor with a native 1000 Hz refresh rate, the new UltraGear model delivers the speed, clarity and consistency needed for competitive gaming. To celebrate its launch, customers who pre-order by August 31, 2026, can receive two years of LG Premium Care for $1 and earn 5% back in MyLG Rewards.

Built with fast-paced first-person shooter (FPS) titles in mind, the 25G590B features a 25-inch display size widely favored in esports, allowing players to track opponents and scan the in-game environment efficiently to support faster reaction times and sharper tactical decision-making. An integrated FPS Counter adds another layer of performance visibility, giving players real-time data on how smoothly every frame is loading, whether they're deep in competitive play, editing content or watching a movie.

The Esports Green Collection was created to celebrate Razer's identity and its enduring legacy in professional esports.

That trust has translated into record-breaking performances and championship victories across competitive gaming titles including VALORANT, Counter-Strike 2, League of Legends, and Rainbow Six Siege, setting the benchmark that the Esports Green Collection was built to represent.

Windows 11 Insiders Get Support for >1,000 Hz Monitor Refresh Rate

Microsoft has released its latest Windows 11 builds, 26100.8106 and 26200.8106 (KB5079387), to Insiders in the Release Preview Channel. This update notably introduces support for monitor refresh rates exceeding 1,000 Hz, marking the first time Windows 11 officially supports four-digit refresh rates. Over the years, gaming monitors have rapidly progressed from double-digit to triple-digit refresh rates. However, reaching four-digit levels so quickly was unexpected, as the general gaming audience has been limited by current technology's ability to output such high frame rates. With modern GPUs capable of running hundreds of frames per second in FPS titles, it's logical for Windows to prepare for future advancements.

For instance, Philips and AOC have introduced the first gaming monitors capable of supporting 500 Hz at 1440p and 1,000 Hz at 720p. The Philips Evnia 27M2N5500XD and AOC AGON Pro AGP277QK monitors were showcased in China on December 6 and appear to be built around the same 27-inch panel. Both models are QHD 500 Hz displays that can switch to a lower-resolution 720p mode, doubling the refresh rate to 1,000 Hz. Generally, this resolution is required to achieve frame rates above 500 FPS, but modern GPUs like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 can easily reach these numbers in games like Counter-Strike 2. At 1080p, we observed about 726 FPS, indicating that 720p gaming can fully utilize the 1,000 Hz display.

Angry Miao Unveils AM Infinity .97 Gaming Mouse: 47 g Magnesium Alloy, Viper V3 Pro Shape

Angry Miao, the peripherals brand typically known for its premium mechanical gaming keyboards, has announced a new version of its first wireless mouse. The Angry Miao AM Infinity .97 is a smaller version of the company's first gaming mouse, the AM Infinity, which launched in March 2025. Aside from the magnesium shell, the original AM Infinity mouse's claim to fame is its hot-swap battery system that Angry Miao markets as "infinite battery life." As was revealed in a recent X post, with the Infinity .97, Angry Miao has shrunk down the original design by 3%, which has resulted in a minor reduction in weight as well as size. The main goal of the smaller version of the Infinity mouse seems to be comfort for players with slightly smaller hands who otherwise like the shape of the Razer Viper V3 Pro. A previous project log published by Angry Miao explained that almost half of the people the design team polled preferred the smaller size, while those who had hands measuring 17.5-18.5 cm in length found it to be the ideal size. The new design also reduced discomfort caused by the hump design of the previous model.

After the reduction, the AM Infinity .97 weighs in at 47 g, which is around 2 g less than the original Infinity mouse, and it seems to be using the same capacity battery as the original, meaning 340 mAh, which should deliver 43 hours of use at 1000 Hz polling or 17 hours at 8000 Hz polling while used wirelessly. If you're striving for even more weight reduction, you can run it wirelessly, which should drop another 10 g. It will feature the same PixArt 3950 sensor as the original version, as well. It also stands to reason that the Infinity .97 will use the same TTC Optical Micro switches as the original. One of the other changes coming to the .97 mouse is the addition of a transparent plastic panel that covers the large hole in the rear of the mouse and provides a little more support for palm and claw grip players. In a similar vein, the sides of the .97 version will also be solid, instead of honeycomb. The Angry Miao AM Infinity .97 mouse is slated to officially launch on February 26 on Kickstarter. Pricing is as-yet unknown, but the original AM Infinity mouse starts at $129 with the 2.4 GHz receiver and two battery packs.

GameSir Launches Special Edition G7 Pro Zenless Zone Zero Edition Wireless Controller

GameSir, a leading innovator in gaming peripherals, today announced the official launch of its special edition GameSir G7 Pro Zenless Zone Zero Edition Wireless Controller for Xbox, PC & Android. This premium controller, developed in an official collaboration with Zenless Zone Zero, has been engineered to meet the demands of competitive play while celebrating the bold aesthetic of New Eridu. Xbox-licensed, the G7 Pro offers 2.4G wireless support for Xbox consoles plus wired connectivity for flexible, lag-free play. The GameSir G7 Pro - Zenless Zone Zero is available for $139.99 or £139.99.

The bundle features a translucent controller design inspired by Bangboo and Phaethon, delivering a striking New Eridu aesthetic. It also includes exclusive collaboration accessories: an interchangeable faceplate, Zenless Zone Zero-themed thumbstick covers, swappable stick caps, a protective carry case, and a custom acrylic keychain. Built for responsiveness and reliability, the G7 Pro Zenless Zone Zero stands at the forefront of controller innovation. GameSir's Mag-Res TMR sticks are also a stand-out feature of the G7 Pro range. Representing an evolution beyond Hall Effect technology, these advanced sticks merge the pinpoint precision and low power consumption of traditional potentiometers with the durability and stability of magnetic sensing. The result is smoother movement, higher and more stable polling rates, and a truly anti-drift experience designed for long-term competitive play.

NVIDIA Updates G-SYNC Pulsar Standard and Ambient Adaptive Technology

NVIDIA today announced updated G-SYNC Pulsar display standard for fast-paced competitive e-sports gaming. The standard builds on NVIDIA's proven G-SYNC variable refresh-rate technology that ensures that the display and GPU are in perfect sync with output framerates and display refresh-rates, to eliminate screen tearing and stuttering. The new G-SYNC Pulsar spec calls for a standardized 27-inch QHD (2560 x 1440 pixels) gaming display with refresh rate of 360 Hz on the display's side, and the capability of over 1000 Hz perceived motion clarity that works at the game rendering level to eliminate motion blur. In the example shown below, G-SYNC Pulsar in "Counter Strike 2" is shown improving effective motion clarity by 4 times.

The other new standard being introduced today is Ambient Adaptive Technology. Similar to your smartphone, which uses its front-camera to gauge ambient lighting conditions to dynamically adjust display and color temperature, this feature relies on an optical sensor on the display to analyze ambient lighting conditions, and respond to broad daylight with 100% brightness, cooler white colors (higher color temperatures); and nighttime with 36% brightness, and warmer colors (lower color temps). At CES, popular gaming monitor manufacturers are announcing their G-SYNC Pulsar capable monitors, which include Acer Predator XB273U F5, AOC AGON Pro AG276QSG2, ASUS ROG Strix Pulsar XG27AQNGV, and MSI MPG 272QRF X36. These displays will be available from tomorrow (January 7), with prices starting at $599.

Philips and AOC Release First 1000 Hz Dual-Mode Gaming Monitors

Philips and AOC introduced the first gaming monitors capable of supporting 500 Hz at 1440p and 1000 Hz at 720p. The Philips Evnia 27M2N5500XD and AOC AGON Pro AGP277QK monitors were showcased in China on December 6 and both seem to be built around the same 27-inch panel. Both models are QHD 500 Hz displays that can toggle to a lower-resolution 720p mode that will double the refresh rate to 1000 Hz. DisplaySpecifications reports a 2000:1 static contrast ratio, VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification, 1 ms GtG response time, and wide-gamut coverage. While the panel type hasn't been confirmed, the listed contrast rules out TN and makes high-contrast IPS or VA variants the most likely candidate.

The Evnia 27M2N5500XD previously appeared at the WePlay Culture Expo in Shanghai, where Philips highlighted its AI-based light-sync system and ComfortView 4.0 eye-health features. The retail version includes Philips' Smart ErgoBase for full adjustability; the AOC AGP277QK is expected to ship with a similar 4-way stand. As these remain LCD panels, the 1000 Hz mode is subject to typical LCD limitations, including not-perfect response times. This could result in some image quality issues, however, this marks the first commercial implementation of 1000 Hz on a desktop monitor. Philips and AOC have not announced pricing or global availability. Most likely, the two monitors will be showcased in a few weeks at CES 2026, where more details will be shared.

ATK Releases A9 Air Lightweight Wireless Gaming Mouse

ATK has introduced the A9 Air, a lightweight wireless gaming mouse built around flagship-grade components while targeting the mid-range market. The mouse is built on the ATK Shark MAX platform, measures 125 × 63.5 × 40 mm making it suitable for medium to large hands and weighs just 47 g. It is built around a PAW3950 Ultra sensor, offering up to 30,000 DPI, 750 IPS tracking rate, and 50 G acceleration. Paired with a Nordic 54L15 controller, the mouse is capable of reaching polling rates of up to 8,000 Hz. It uses ATK SwiftLight optical switches with 0.181 ms latency. The A9 Air supports wired USB-C, Bluetooth, and 2.4 GHz wireless modes. ATK also included the new GEM 8K receiver for stable high-speed polling and bidirectional 8-track transmission in noisy RF environments. Additional hardware includes a TTC Gold scroll wheel, several sets of interchangeable Teflon-based mouse feet, and a 300 mAh battery rated for up to 300 hours at 1000 Hz.

The A9 Air edition is almost identical to ATK's A9 Ultra Max 2.0 and A9 Ultimate mice, with those two having a larger 800 mAh battery and a weight of 53 g. Thus, it is safe to say that the weight reduction in A9 Air (47 g) comes most likely from its smaller battery (300 mAh vs 800 mAh). The ATK A9 Air gaming mouse is available in four colors: black, white, midnight white, and phantom orange, for $79.98 on the company's official store.
