HKC have unveiled the new Tianqi 43H180C, a large format ultrawide screen with an unusual resolution and aspect ratio. The screen measures 43.8″ in size diagonally and has a 24:9 aspect ratio, with a 5760 x 2160 resolution. This gives it 50% more pixels than a 3840 x 2160 resolution display, while being able to support native 4K content natively thanks to its 2160 vertical resolution. The screen also has a 180Hz refresh rate and a Mini LED backlight offering an impressive all round spec.

Most modern monitors provide a huge range of settings and options in the menu, but it’s not always convenient or easy to scroll through this menu when you want to make a change or activate something. This is especially true when you are using your monitor for different things, whether that’s office and professional applications, gaming or movies.

Owners and potential buyers may have heard about some of the concerns around panel uniformity on the new Alienware AW3926QW since we reviewed it and it was released widely a couple of weeks ago. This mostly relates to the use of an OLED care feature called CPC (Convex Power Control) which causes “edge dimming” on the screen as an image retention mitigation measure.

HKC have recently announced their new Shield 25Q360B monitor, a 24.5″ sized gaming display offering a rare combination of specs and features in this size. The screen has a 2560 x 1440 resolution and 360Hz refresh rate, offering something beyond the typical 1080p resolutions on screens of this size. Not only that, but it has a 1,152-zone Mini LED backlight as well for high end HDR performance.

Lenovo have recently announced their upcoming ThinkVision P27UL-40 monitor made for commercial environments and remote collaboration. This is a new 27″ sized OLED screen with a 4K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate built around an Inkjet Printed (IJP) OLED panel.

At IFA 2026 HKC unveiled their new HKC Shield 27Q560 monitor, a 27″ sized screen built around a so-called “Oxide IPS” LCD panel and offering a super high refresh rate for gamers. Natively it offers a 2560 x 1440 resolution and 560Hz refresh rate which in itself is impressive, but this can be boosted further to 1,060Hz via a dual-mode function when dropping to a lower 720p (1280 x 720) resolution.
