AU Optronics plans to produce a 540hz monitor. Very high update rate, an industry record that would be used for use in electronic sports.

The refresh rate (refresh rate) is a key value for the performance of computer monitors, especially those designed for playing video games. The higher its value, the better user experience we will have in the fastest and most competitive games from this variable frequency improves communication between the graphics card and the display by synchronizing the refresh rate between them.

This value has not stopped growing in recent years, with the current 360 Hz cap reached by the most advanced models. Last month, NVIDIA announced a new generation of gaming monitors on Computex, such as the ASUS ROG Swift and a refresh rate of 500 Hz as a star of features.

AU Optronics’ leaked plan reveals that manufacturers want even more, and we see it 540 Hz monitor with TN panel, 1080p resolution and high dynamic range HDR support. However, some question whether current consumer graphics cards will be able to achieve these frame rates. If this happens, it would be the first time the monitors in this section have overtaken the dedicated graphics. New generation of graphics cards (NVIDIA RTX 4000 and AMD RX 7000) are falling and we will soon see where they can go.

AU Optronics is preparing additional models to improve the refresh rate. You already know that as the resolution increases, the more difficult it is to increase the refresh rate. In addition to the 540 Hz monitor (remember with FHD resolution) the manufacturer is developing a new one A 27-inch panel that combines a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels with a refresh rate 360 Hz has never been achieved in this 2K resolution.

AUO also plans to produce a 32-inch IPS panel with 4K resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels) with a refresh rate of 240 Hz, a response time of 3 ms, brightness between 400 and 600 rivets, DCI-95% P3 support and a 3-sided borderless design.

Interesting news awaits us on the screens.
