According to AOC, the AGP257FT, a 24.5-inch 1080p monitor, has a native 1,000Hz refresh rate and a 1,050Hz overclock mode. According to BiWin, the CL100 Mini NVMe SSD measures 15 x 17 mm, but only a short list of handhelds can use it.
AOC's AGP257FT: 1,000Hz on an oxide Fast IPS panel
AOC says the Agon Pro AGP257FT uses an oxide-based Fast IPS panel, whose higher-mobility transistor layer is what makes a 1,000Hz native refresh workable. At 1,050Hz a new refresh arrives roughly every 0.95 ms. AOC lists a 0.3 ms minimum gray-to-gray response time and 0.1 ms MPRT, two figures measured differently that should not be compared to each other. Gray-to-gray in particular can describe only the fastest transitions.
The rest of the panel is modest: VESA DisplayHDR 400 with 20 local dimming zones, 450 nits typical, and 99% sRGB and 90% DCI-P3 coverage. It has DisplayPort 2.1, two HDMI 2.1 ports, G-Sync Compatible support and a three-port USB-A hub. AOC says it launches in Europe in the first quarter of 2027 and has not given a price.
A 1,000Hz refresh rate only helps if the game can feed it. Guru3D points out that holding 1,000 fps at 1080p is difficult even with a fast GPU, because the CPU and game engine become the limit in titles like Counter-Strike 2 and Valorant, and that the visible gain over a 500Hz or 600Hz panel will be much smaller than going from 60Hz to 144Hz. Independent testing still has to check whether the 1,050Hz mode drops frames and how the pixels behave at that speed. The same outlet notes LG's competing 1,000Hz-class monitor sits near $1,000, which is not a figure AOC has given.
BiWin's CL 100 Mini: a 15 x 17 mm SSD for a short list of handhelds
The BiWin CL 100 Mini measures 15 x 17 mm. Tom's Hardware compares that with the 22 x 30 mm M.2 2230 drive in a Steam Deck, which needs the handheld opened and a screw. The format is proprietary, and the drive works only in devices built with the matching slot: Tom's Hardware lists the OneXPlayer OneXFly Apex and Air, OneXPlayer 3, X1 Air, X2 Mini and Super V and X, plus the GPD Win5.
The drive itself is conventional. It is an NVMe 1.4 PCIe 4.0 drive built on Silicon Motion's SM2268XT2 controller, which ComputerBase says BiWin uses without a chip package so it fits the case, with Samsung V8 TLC NAND. BiWin rates it at up to 3,700 MB/s read and 3,400 MB/s write. Those are the manufacturer's figures, and neither outlet reports testing them. BiWin also sells a USB-C reader, the Mini SSD Reader, for using the drive externally, with speeds Tom's Hardware puts near 3,000 MB/s.
The 512 GB and 1 TB models cost about 140 euros and 260 euros in BiWin's Amazon store in Europe. ComputerBase says that is high next to ordinary SSDs, which often sell for under 100 euros at 512 GB, but that the format has no competition. A 2 TB version is advertised only through third-party sellers, at 699.99 euros per Tom's Hardware. The reader is about 80 euros.
