HKC VG253KM display evaluation: 240Hz high brush experience less than 1000 yuan

one prologue

I believe you should be familiar with VA panel, but perhaps you have no idea about HVA. Here's a brief introduction. HVA actually refers to PSVA (Polymer Stabilized Vertical) independently developed by CSOT Alignment ）In fact, this PSVA technology is a polymer stabilized vertically arranged liquid crystal, which retains the advantages of high contrast of VA panel, but also makes up for shortcomings, such as response time, so it is also called fast VA. The monitor evaluated today uses the HVA panel, which supports up to 240Hz, but the price is less than 1000 yuan. It is the new e-sports monitor HKC released by HKC at the end of January VG253KM , how it performs, and whether its strength is worth more than its price, let's have a look.

It is worth noting that this is not the first time HKC has released displays with HVA panels, such as HKC VG275M HKC VG275QM These are also HVA panel displays, basically covering most game player groups.

two Analysis of characteristics

Considering that many friends' time is precious, according to the convention, before we talk about this monitor formally, the author briefly summarizes some features of this monitor, so that friends who do not have time to read the full text can have a general understanding of this monitor.

three Appearance design

I simply shared the outstanding features of the HKC VG253KM monitor with you. I believe you must have a certain understanding of this monitor. Next, the author will start from the appearance design to talk about its characteristics in appearance.

The HKC VG253KM adopts a three sided narrow frame design as a whole, with the HKC logo at the bottom. From the front, the overall vision is very wide. At the same time, when two or more monitors are connected externally, the seams can be as far as possible without affecting the appearance, and the visual experience is more realistic.

In terms of the base, the smaller one like the MG27U is not used, but the more common V-shaped base, which can be more stable on the desktop during daily use, and will not fall down for external reasons. At the same time, try to avoid interfering with the player's operating space in the future, The overall support of HKC VG253KM is relatively small, and the two legs of the support do not even cross the display too much. This is to keep the display as practical as possible while giving consideration to beauty.

At the back, the HKC VG253KM display belongs to the Falcon series of HKC. The overall design inspiration comes from the eagle's flying action. The appearance design strictly follows the golden section ratio of blue dot lines, with the fog surface technology and the ups and downs, and the well arranged lines, giving people the pride of the falcon.

Zoom in to see the details. The HKC VG253KM does not use the familiar RGB light design, but instead uses the blue decorative strip to simulate the light design. Surprisingly, the effect is good. At first glance, it looks light and agile, which is very consistent with the overall aesthetic of the Falcon series.

The bracket of HKC VG253KM display adopts ergonomic design, which supports lifting, rotating and pitching adjustment, and also supports standard VESA bracket. The weight without bracket is only 2.9KG, and the weight with bracket is only 4.1KG. The bracket supports quick disassembly design, which is convenient for users to install or pack and take away.

In addition, there is a separate wire binding hole at the back of the bracket, which is convenient for users to sort out the wire binding materials and ensure the overall beauty and coordination of the desktop. The blue decorative ring at the bottom does not appear abrupt, but also fits the design of the back, which is a magic stroke.

In terms of interface, The HKC VG253KM display provides one audio interface, one DisplayPort1.4, and two HDMI2.0 ports. A sufficient number of interface configurations not only meet the requirements of external host devices of various types, but also meet the requirements of video signal transmission with high resolution and high refresh rate. The rich interfaces and convenient switching experience also effectively improve the convenience of daily use.

four Theoretical test

I simply showed you the appearance design of this monitor. In order to let you understand this monitor more objectively, the author will conduct a theoretical test on this monitor next.

The instrument for this test is SpyderXElite color calibrator, and the test items include gamut, tone response, gray scale, color temperature consistency, color uniformity and color accuracy. Before the test, the display has been restored to the factory settings and warmed up for one hour. It should be noted that due to the difference in the test environment, the measured results may slightly deviate from the official data.

First is the color gamut test, according to SpyderXElite Software The test results show that the coverage of the sRGB gamut of the HKC VG253KM display is 100%, the coverage of the Adobe RGB gamut is 87%, and the coverage of the P3 gamut is 94%, basically in line with the official propaganda level.

In terms of tone response, the measured black curve should be as consistent as possible with the light blue "Photometric 2.2" curve. It can be seen that the gap between the measured black curve and "Photometric 2.2" is small, and the tone response is good.

In terms of grayscale, the display is relatively stable under the brightness of 40% - 100%, and the overall color temperature is around 6840K, which is close to the standard color temperature.

In terms of color temperature consistency, the white point color temperature of this display is between 6400K and 7000K. The color temperature fluctuates with the brightness, and the contrast reaches 2610:1.

In the test of color uniformity, the third quadrant of the HKC VG253KM display is the closest to the D65 standard, and the seventh quadrant on the left of the display has the largest difference from the standard color temperature, with the maximum value of 3.7. The overall color uniformity performance can be said to be excellent.

In the test of brightness uniformity, the overall performance of the HKC VG253KM display was also excellent, with the maximum brightness in quadrant 5, the maximum difference in quadrant 1, and the difference of 58.6cd/m?.

In the color accuracy test, the average △ E value of the HKC VG253KM display is 1.43, and the color restoration is very accurate. Generally speaking, the △ E value is less than 2, and the difference in color is almost invisible to the naked eye. The performance of the HKC VG253KM basically meets the needs of most game players.

five Say at the end

In the whole year of last year, the HKC monitors' shipment volume in the display industry can be said to be relatively good. It can still achieve an amazing shipment volume in the face of the overall market downturn, which is naturally due to the hard power of the products. As can be seen from the HKC VG253KM, it still maintains its own high cost performance characteristics, whether from the appearance design or theoretical performance, In the same price and level of machines, there are some highlights. The 240Hz display, which is less than 1000 yuan, allows ordinary players with low budget to experience the happy game experience brought by high speed brushing, which is very valuable.

During the pre-sale period, the price of this monitor is only 899 yuan, which can be said to be very cost-effective. Although the price has risen slightly, it still remains within 1000 yuan, and interested friends can still buy it. If you usually use a computer to watch movies in addition to playing games, then this monitor can be said to meet your needs completely. At present, this display has been launched on e-commerce platforms such as Jingdong. If you are interested in CSOT's HVA panel or want an e-sports display that can give consideration to both movie viewing and games, this HKC VG253KM may be a good choice.
