HKC Co. LTD has announced its plans to release the M10 Ultra, a 32-inch, 4K, RGB Mini LED computer monitor, in 2026. RGB Mini LED panel technology is the newest hot tech in the display world, and HKC has beaten the biggest companies in TVs and displays to become the first company to announce an RGB Mini LED monitor.
The M10 Ultra's secret sauce is its RGB Mini LED backlight system, which is said to possess "simultaneous light and color control" in a Chinese press release from HKC. This level of control is contrasted with standard Mini LED's "single light control", also per HKC. The panel developers also boast a whopping 4,788 independent control zones in the M10 Ultra's backlight, which makes this claim sound pretty believable.
RGB Mini LED, sometimes referred to as Micro LED, is the next step in LED backlighting technology. All display panels have their color-emitting diodes helped by a backlight, and backlight technology has been pushed forward in recent years by the Mini LED trend, which is defined by smaller backlight LEDs and more independently-controlled dimming zones for better lighting and color accuracy. But what if these mini LEDs were RGB — pushing panel backlights into full color, and creating the most color-accurate panels mankind has ever seen?

Enter RGB Mini LED, a very new technology that has so far been accessible by the very wealthy. Panels that have shipped with RGB Mini LEDs so far have come from Samsung and Hisense, and both were around 115 inches and cost a staggering $29,999.
HKC's new M10 Ultra is the world's first RGB Mini LED monitor announced — and it's the first RGB Mini LED screen that can fit on a desk. The 31.4-inch, 4K screen will cover 100% of the BT.2020, sRGB, DCI-P3, and Adobe RGB color gamuts, according to HKC's spec sheet. The company also shared that the monitor will support 3840 x 2160 resolution at 165Hz native refresh rate, with a high refresh rate gaming mode that shifts the speeds to 330Hz at 1080p available.
