Shengse (盛色) debuts 24.5-inch 300Hz FHD monitor at 599 yuan

Budget gaming at an eye‑watering price

Chinese display maker Shengse (盛色) has launched a 24.5‑inch, 1920×1080 monitor with a 300Hz refresh rate priced at just 599 yuan (roughly $80–90). The headline here is the price. A 300Hz panel at this size is normally sold at a significant premium, so the new model immediately positions itself as an entry‑level option for competitive gamers who prioritise high frame rates over resolution.

Specs and open questions

It has been reported that the monitor uses a 1080p 300Hz panel, but Shengse has not fully disclosed panel type, colour gamut, response time, or port selection, which are key to judging real‑world performance. The company’s spec sheet so far is light. Reportedly the focus is on raw refresh speed rather than features like HDR or wide colour, which would be typical for a sub‑100‑USD screen.

Context: China's crowded, price‑competitive market

For Western readers: Shengse is one of many Chinese brands that sell aggressively priced displays through major e‑commerce channels. China’s monitor market is highly competitive, driven by numerous domestic ODMs and retailers targeting gamers and budget buyers. Could this push legacy brands to rethink pricing? Possibly — and it comes at a time when global component supply chains and shifting trade policies have helped boost the competitiveness of local manufacturers.

What to watch

Availability appears aimed at the Chinese market first, and it has been reported that wider distribution will depend on initial sales and reviews. Key questions remain: will the panel deliver acceptable colour and motion clarity, and can Shengse sustain margins at this price? Buyers should wait for independent reviews before assuming the 599‑yuan tag guarantees value.
