HKC announces Shield 27Q560 monitor with 1060Hz refresh rate at IFA

HKC has unveiled the Shield 27Q560 at IFA 2026, a 27‑inch Oxide IPS gaming monitor capable of extremely high refresh rates. The display runs natively at 2560×1440 and 560Hz, with a dual‑mode function allowing it to reach up to 1,060Hz when switched to a lower 1280×720 resolution.

According to TFTCentral, the Shield 27Q560 uses a glossy panel coating and offers a 1ms G2G response time, 10‑bit colour depth and 98% DCI‑P3 gamut coverage. Connectivity includes one DisplayPort 2.1 port and two HDMI 2.1 ports, along with USB‑C (15W power delivery) and an audio output.

HKC says the monitor will launch in China this November. Availability for other regions has not yet been confirmed, but HKC’s international releases typically follow two to three months later, suggesting a potential Q1 2027 rollout.

KitGuru Says: Hitting 1060Hz at 720p is an impressive technical milestone, but I imagine most will stick to the QHD / 560Hz mode.
