Quite wild innovations appear regularly in the gaming world. Some of them are surprisingly good, for example Razer’s haptic pad that lets you feel your games and ultimately become even more immersed in your favorite games. Others make you wonder why they even exist.
I think one product fits into the second category. Koorui 750Hz Gaming Monitor Coming Soon. This will be the world’s first 750Hz gaming monitor, which is undoubtedly an impressive achievement, but will it be worth it for the average person? In terms of price or even in terms of actually being able to see the benefits? Probably not.
A Closer Look at the Koorui 750Hz Gaming Monitor
In addition to a super-duper smooth 750Hz refresh rate, the upcoming 24.5-inch Koorui monitor will feature a Twisted Nematic (TN) or LCD panel, as well as Quantum Dot (QD) film that delivers up to DCI-color gamut. P3 95%, HDR 400, FHD resolution (1920 x 1080) and 0.5 response time ms.
There’s no mention of price at the moment, but considering how much 480Hz monitors cost these days, I can only assume it will be incredibly expensive. Koorui will demonstrate its new monitor at KES 2025, and the price (or at least the price range) will definitely be announced at the event.
It looks like Koorui is specifically marketing this 750Hz gaming monitor as a product for “esports environments where every frame can be a game-changer in fast-paced FPS and MOBA games.” But even in this competitive scenario, it would take an insanely experienced eye to see the difference between 750Hz and 480Hz.
Also, how many gaming laptops or desktops will be able to play games at 750Hz? Even if you’re a competitive gamer, will it really be a worthwhile investment if the games you play can’t even match the monitor’s 750Hz refresh rate?
It’s like promotion for the sake of promotion, it’s like Sony marketing PS58K support at launch when most people don’t have an 8K TV and most games can’t run at native 8K resolution. Being the first to do something is still impressive, so congratulations to Koorui on his achievement, but for most people, splurging on a 240Hz, 360Hz or even 480Hz monitor is enough.
