Is 100 Hz too lowly for a gaming monitor? For ASRock, the answer to that is a pretty clear “no,” having launched new Challenger Series monitors this week that only feature IPS panels with a 100 Hz refresh rate. This specification is lower than what some of the other manufacturers have deemed to be the bare minimum, with GIGABYTE and ASUS’s gaming monitors seemingly starting at 120 Hz—although to be fair, MSI is even more lax, offering gaming monitors that are limited to 60 Hz. ASRock did clarify that its new CL25FF (24.5 inch) and CL27FF (27 inch) Full HD monitors are only meant for “light gaming.”

The Challenger monitor series boasts a remarkable 100Hz refresh rate, combining Flicker-Free technology to combat screen flickering and AMD FreeSync technology to eliminate screen tearing. Paired with a wide viewing angle IPS panel that supports low blue light mode, users can expect a smooth, detailed visual experience. The Challenger monitor series is your dependable partner for office tasks and, at the same time, an outstanding choice for gaming and entertainment!

The CL25FF features a wider 24.5-inch screen than standard 23.8-inch business monitors, while the CL27FF takes it a step further with a 27-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution panel, ensuring sharper and more vivid visual images. Through the utilization of IPS screen technology, the Challenger monitor series presents a heightened sense of reality with vibrant color effects and an expansive 178° wide viewing angle, ensuring users can relish a breathtaking visual experience from every perspective.

In addition to its vibrant and vivid display, the Challenger monitor series incorporates a 100Hz high refresh rate and a lightning-fast 1ms response time (MPRT). This ensures a seamless, blur-free viewing experience, even when watching fast-paced dynamic videos or engaging in high-speed gaming, all while maintaining crystal-clear visual quality.

Furthermore, the integration of Flicker-Free technology significantly enhances screen smoothness, and when combined with AMD FreeSync technology, it eliminates screen tearing and stuttering, crafting a superior, ultra-smooth visual performance.

While the visual experience is essential, eye protection takes precedence! The Challenger monitor series monitors combine low blue light technology with flicker-free capabilities, reducing harmful high-energy blue light radiation and eliminating rapid color fluctuations per second. This effectively reduces headaches and eye fatigue levels, offering users a more comfortable and relaxed sensory experience.
