The Apocalypse 43H180C essentially offers 4K-level pixel density, extending to ultra-wide 24:9 format. HKC already showed off a more ambitious model at Computex earlier this year, the 83.4-inch curved Shield C83U60 monitor with 12K resolution, so the company is clearly not afraid to experiment with non-standard display formats.
The 24:9 aspect ratio makes the Apocalypse 43H180C stand out from other 43.8-inch monitors on the market that usually support 3840 x 1080 pixel resolution. The display uses a Mini-LED backlight panel with a curvature radius of 1000R and an update rate of up to 180Hz. This monitor claims 99% DCI-P3 color space coverage. The manufacturer has not confirmed the type of matrix used in the new product. Presumably this is VA or IPS. The number of local dimming zones is also unknown.
This monitor supports split screen mode, which is very useful for improving work efficiency. One divides the display into three areas with a resolution of 1920 × 2160 pixels, and the second allows you to place a 4K format area next to the 1920 × 2160 pixel area for timelines, chats, document windows, or other support information.
This monitor is equipped with DisplayPort 2.1 and USB-C connectors, supports 96W charging, and KVM functionality. 5760 x 2160 resolution contains approximately 1.5 times as many pixels as standard 4K, providing sharper images. In gaming, however, such loads can become a serious test for even flagship graphics cards.
The price and launch date of the Apocalypse 43H180C ultra-wide monitor have not yet been announced.
