HKC M10 Ultra: First-ever RGB mini LED gaming monitor announced with shockingly good color reproduction claims

HKC, a well-known maker of displays in China, has announced an ambitious new product - an RGB mini LED monitor. Set to launch in 2026, the monitor, dubbed the M10 Ultra, will likely be the first of its kind if HKC manages to deliver.

While mini LEDs have become quite common, RGB mini LEDs are a wildly different breed. Unlike mini LEDs, which feature solely blue or white LEDs, RGB mini LEDs feature distinct red, blue, and green LEDs. This allows for much better color accuracy, higher brightness, and even higher contrast ratios. Of course, OLEDs will continue being superior in many categories, such as response times and overall contrast.

M10 Ultra: 32-inch 4K monitor with excellent color reproduction and brightness

The HKC M10 Ultra will sport a 31.4-inch RGB mini LED panel with a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels. At 4K, the panel will refresh at 165 Hz, with the option of doubling the refresh rate by reducing the output resolution to 1080p, courtesy of the dual-mode functionality we see pretty often these days. HKC also claims a peak brightness of 1,600 nits. At a 100% APL, the peak brightness is advertised at 1,000 nits, which is undoubtedly great.
