- Koorui G7 monitor demonstrated on the CES 2025 show floor
- Uses a TN panel (rather than IPS) to achieve that 750Hz refresh rate
- It also offers a 0.5ms response time and more impressive color accuracy than expected with a TN display.
CES 2025 has seen a number of announcements for gaming monitors pushing super-high refresh rates, and we have a new champion on the Hertz battlefield: a 750Hz display, no less.
This is the Koorui G7 that will be unveiled at CES as a 24.5-inch Full HD gaming monitor with a 750Hz refresh rate along with a 0.5ms response time.
Koorui, a Chinese supplier you may not have heard of, but will probably hear more about, already has a lot of gaming monitors at attractive prices, although naturally a 750Hz screen won’t be cheap.
In fact, the company announced the Koorui G7 before CES, but we just saw it on the show floor, courtesy of a video uploaded to the company’s YouTube channel; Check it out below (you can briefly see the G7 at the start of the clip – press the pause button).
In addition to the 750Hz refresh rate, other key specs of the G7 include HDR400 support and 95% DCI-P3 coverage, the latter being impressive given that it’s a TN panel. Typically, color rendering is a weak point of TN compared to IPS (which is most monitors these days), so it looks like Koorui is trying to make sure the G7 doesn’t fall (too) flat on this sense. (TN panels are a good choice for gaming monitors due to their inherently fast response times and ability to achieve high refresh rates, as we certainly see here, but not for their color accuracy, vividness, or viewing angles.) .
The Koorui G7 comes with all the usual bells and whistles, such as a low blue light mode, flicker-free technology, and ergonomics including height, tilt, and swivel adjustment. You’ll also get three HDMI 2.1 ports along with a DisplayPort 1.4 connector.
Koorui is part of HKC, a display giant in China, and this monitor is expected to launch sometime in 2025 (at least in Asia and hopefully other parts of the world as well).

Analysis: Refreshingly useless?
We’ve already seen new 600Hz monitors at CES 2025 (from MSI and BenQ) that match Acer’s existing 600Hz effort, the Nitro XV240 F6, a monitor that’s now available in China and will soon arrive in the US and Europe.
However, those panels have already been surpassed by this 750 Hz effort, by a lot. However, the obvious question with these types of high-end gaming monitors is: how far should we go with colossal refresh rates? Isn’t 750Hz getting silly?
Well, we’ve argued in the past that 600Hz is entering pretty ridiculous territory, so 750Hz certainly is. Will the difference between 600Hz and 750Hz be noticeable to the average human eye? Frankly, it won’t, and as you move up the high refresh rate scale, towards the dizzying heights of 1000Hz (that will happen very soon, no doubt), there are very diminishing returns.
These screens are really for high level competitive gamers. For starters, you need to be able to afford a gaming PC that pushes 600 or 750 frames per second to match that refresh rate (and do so consistently, or ideally even as a baseline). And even with less demanding esports titles like Counter-Strike 2 or Valorant, which are designed to run smoothly and skillfully while keeping the visuals relatively tame, it’s a tough ask for anything other than a hyper-expensive, fully-fledged gaming PC. equipped. .
Perhaps it’s true that the most skilled pro gamers could discern a difference between, say, a 500Hz panel (which OLEDs are now catching up to, by the way) versus a 600Hz or 750Hz monitor. That would be in terms of feel of the game, thanks to the smoother and more consistent frame delivery (better frame time) provided by an ultra-fast refresh rate display. But we mere mortals are not going to notice this slightly more stable nature of a beastly refresh rate display.
Still, it’s always fun to see big numbers and you can certainly bet on bigger numbers in the not-too-distant future. However, it’s worth remembering that there is much more to a monitor than its refresh rate. I’ll be interested to see what the image quality looks like on this Koorui TN panel, to see if this is more of a PR exercise or a truly excellent gaming screen (for those few who may need it and can afford it). he).
