BOE Creates 27-Inch Full HD Display With 500 Hz Refresh Rate
If you thought that your 144 Hz monitor sounds rather fancy, you would have to think again after seeing this. Beijing Oriental Electronics Group Co., Ltd or BOE shortly, has announced that the company has managed to design and manufacture a 27-inch full HD display with a refresh rate of 500 Hz. No, this is not a typo, and the company made a display with such a high refresh rate. This technology marvel features an 8-lane eDP connection paired with a 1 ms response time and an actual 8-bit color gamut. While this refresh rate may not suit every AAA game title, players of CS: GO, and DOTA 2 are likely targets. Along with this 500 Hz monitor, BOE also announced a 110-inch 8K 120 Hz panel. You can read more about it from the company statement below..

BOE (Machine Translation from Chinese)With years of technology accumulation, BOE has made important breakthroughs in the field of oxide semiconductor display technology, overcoming industry problems such as copper (Cu) easy to diffuse, easy to oxidize, and easy to drill and engrave, and is the first in the industry to achieve mass production of copper interconnect stack structures., and the integration of high refresh rate, high resolution, low power consumption oxide display technology, breaking the foreign monopoly, and continue to launch low power consumption, ultra-narrow bezel, 500Hz+ gaming display, super-sized 8K Oxide 120Hz, A series of high-end technologies and products such as frequency conversion refresh rate display. At the same time, great breakthroughs have been made in the research and development of high mobility 30+ cm 2 / Vsoxide technology, which has laid a technical foundation for the subsequent performance improvement of high-end products.

Thank you!
We all knew 1080p 480Hz was coming this year. Especially after 1440p moved to 360Hz and 4K moved to 240Hz. Basicly all 3 resolutions shift up by 120Hz every time this happens. Since 480Hz 1080p panels were not mentioned during CES i figured they would come out later.
Next time this happens we will have:
1080p 600Hz+
1440p 480Hz+
4K 360Hz+
Perhaps 2 years from now.
But yeah LCD can't keep up with 240hz nevermind this.
4k monitors have already hit their bandwidth wall at 4k 240 hz hdr:

There's still room for some growth at lower resolutions with HDMI 2.1 (480hz at 1440pand 960 hz at 1080p), but the cost is still so high they've hacked their way into building this monitor using 2x DP 1.4 connections!
Refreshrate increase is not limited by bandwith but by display technology itself. It takes time to develop new panels.
if a person can buy a $500+ 500Hz display then they can buy a new GPU. A nonissue.
Im not sure why people in this thread are so defensive and dismissive about this news. Refreshrate will continue to go up. You cant stop the future.
No one is forcing you to buy these. If you are happy with 144Hz or similar then so be it.
And then there's diminishing returns.
Also, it's Chinese. Until someone reviews this properly, we can't tell how many corners were cut.

Good topic about eye strain forums.blurbusters.com/viewtopic.php?t=8446
What helped me to contain that eye strain is to block the constant blue light, I had to buy a special glasses that block almost all blue light and so far has been my saver, It really works great.

The 80 Hz one makes sense to me anecdotally though. I have experienced that when increasing fps upto and beyond 70-80 fps on my 144 hz screen there is a noticable increment in level of smoothness/butteriness.
