BOE Technology has pulled off a world-first in terms of the fastest ever refresh rate, with a panel that hits 500Hz.
BOE (Beijing Oriental Electronics) is a major player in panel production, and as spotted by Chinese news site Sina (via Tom’s Hardware), the company has managed to engineer a 27-inch monitor with a Full HD resolution and 500Hz refresh rate.
Clearly a gaming monitor designed to drive the highest frame rates possible for top-level competitive gaming, as you might expect it also has a response time of 1ms.
No other info is provided on the display, but Tom’s also points out that it offers 8-bit color and support for an 8-lane eDP signal.
The monitor uses a ‘high-mobility oxide backplane’ to facilitate the serious shift up in gear to 500Hz, which is a big step when you consider that currently the fastest panels on the market offer a refresh rate of 360Hz.
At this…
