Hisense has released a new 27-inch monitor in China called the GX Ultra. Priced at 6,999 yuan (roughly $1,030), the monitor is built around a dual-mode panel that lets users switch between a high-resolution mode for general desktop use and a high-refresh-rate mode for gaming.
Hisense GX Ultra Specifications
The display uses a glass-based Mini LED panel with 2,304 local dimming zones. Hisense is marketing this as an Obsidian Display. It uses a zero optical distance (0OD) backlight design, which places the LEDs very close to the LCD layer to help control light bleed and improve overall contrast.
According to the spec sheet, the monitor can reach a peak brightness of 2,000 nits in its XDR mode and covers 98% of the DCI-P3 color gamut. It also uses 16-bit DC dimming, which is designed to reduce screen flickering.
Talking about the dual-mode functionality, in its native setting, the screen outputs a 5120 x 2880 (5K) resolution at a 180Hz refresh rate. If you are playing a game where frame rates are more important than image sharpness, you can switch the display to a 2560 x 1440 resolution, which increases the refresh rate to a much faster 330Hz. For gaming, it also has a 1ms gray-to-gray response time, supports AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, and includes black frame insertion (BFI) to help reduce motion blur.
Hisense included a few other standard features for daily use. The screen has a low-reflection coating that the company claims reduces surface reflectivity to 1.8%, which should help with glare in bright rooms. It also has an ambient light sensor that adjusts the screen’s brightness automatically based on your environment, along with viewing angle compensation technology to keep colors accurate from the sides.
The monitor comes in a white finish and measures 1.7cm at its thinnest point. The included stand takes up a relatively small footprint on a desk and supports basic tilt and rotation adjustments. Port selection includes HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, and a USB-C port that supports DisplayPort Alt mode and 90W of power delivery, so you can connect and charge a laptop with a single cable. It also features a built-in KVM switch and dual speakers.
In related news, Hisense has also introduced the Vidda C5 projector series featuring JBL-tuned speakers and support for up to 240Hz gaming.
