Since Apple released Mini LED-related products, more and more terminal brands have successively launched Mini LED products. In addition to TV, more new products have appeared in monitors and laptop products recently.
In December, KTC launched the Mini LED display KTC M27P20, which is 27 inches, with 4K UHD resolution and 99% DCI-P3 high color gamut, peak height of 1000 nits, contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1, refresh rate Up to 144Hz, response time 1ms, with 90W Type-C reverse power supply technology.
The Mini LED display has 576 partitions, has 2304 lamp beads, and uses quantum dot filter film. The initial price is 4999 yuan, which is the lowest price among the Mini LED displays currently released, and the subsequent price is 6999 yuan.
In addition, it is reported that the foreign brand Monoprice is also developing a Mini LED gaming monitor, which will be released in the first half of 2022.
According to Monoprice product manager Chris Gallizzi, the display will be 27 inches with a 4K resolution of 3840 x 2160. It will also have a 144Hz refresh rate, HDMI 2.1 certification and USB-C support, and a 90w power output. As far as Mini LEDs are concerned, Gallizzi said that the designer's goal is 576 partitions, but this number may increase before the display goes into production.
As for the price, Gallizzi is unable to determine the price of this monitor when it goes on sale next year. This is the price fluctuation caused by the continuous changes in the supply chain. However, Gallizzi also said that Monoprice's goal is to weaken the competition between Acer, Asus and other top players to create the best gaming monitors.
In recent years, a number of terminal brands have released Mini LED backlight displays, and their prices have continued to drop. KTC has released new products this time. For the first time, Mini LED displays have a price below $1000, which is similar to the price of high-end LCD displays.
According to the display market, due to the core features of Mini LED's high contrast, wide color gamut, and low power consumption, Mini LED displays are currently mainly targeted at creators and the e-sports market. According to experts, Research predicts that with the penetration of high-end displays for e-sports and creators, high-end displays are expected to account for 35% or more of the overall display market shipments in 2025.
