Lenovo and HKC monitors achieve TÜV Rheinland gaming certification
Technology vendors Lenovo and HKC earned TÜV Rheinland Native Gaming Performance Certification across 20 display models following performance and human factor evaluation testing
The TÜV Rheinland Native Gaming Performance Standard, introduced at the China Digital Entertainment Expo & Conference (ChinaJoy) in July 2026, has been adopted across the gaming display industry. Lenovo's Legion series and ANTGAMER (an esports brand under HKC) are among the first products certified under the new standard.
The certification framework evaluates gaming displays based on three refresh-rate operating modes - native, overclocked, and dual-mode - while excluding refresh-rate overclocking from certification. It assesses motion performance, image quality, and visual comfort across four key indicators, using a weighted formula to produce a Gaming Performance Index (GPI) which is then rated on a three- to five-star scale.
Jay Yang, Global Senior Vice President of Electrical at TÜV Rheinland, emphasized that the certification helps consumers identify products that genuinely deliver high-level gaming experiences. TÜV Rheinland's framework promotes a shift from specification-driven competition to performance evaluated through real-world testing.
Sixteen Lenovo Legion monitors received ratings from three to five stars, with four in the top 5-Star category. These include Legion 27Q-10 OLED, Legion Pro 27Q-10, Legion Pro 32UD-10, and Legion Pro 27UD-10. ANTGAMER, an esports brand of HKC, achieved the highest 5-Star certification for four monitors - ANT25ASF, ANT255TQ, ANT275TQ, and ANT272TUE. These are designed to cater to professional esports players, dedicated gaming enthusiasts, and premium entertainment users.
