/PRZWT/ As the e-sports industry continues to grow, the demand for e-sports monitors is increasing steadily. At the same time, users' demands have already fully upgraded from "usable" to "good to use and compatible", presenting distinct characteristics of diversification, scene-based, and refinement. No longer is it solely about pursuing high refresh rates or picture quality; the core demands of different user groups have become increasingly distinct: Some users need to balance the immersive picture quality of 3A games with the smooth control of FPS games; some pursue the ultimate competitive experience, while others focus on cost-effectiveness and practicality. Every demand from users is calling for products that break away from the parameter competition and truly fit the actual usage scenarios.
Recently, the online new product launch event of Raybird monitors was officially held. The product manager Edison provided a professional interpretation of the product logic, and the well-known digital review blogger Maogē brought a real-life test experience. Two new series of products, the Hunter II generation (27U8A Pro/27U8A) and the Conqueror II generation (27Q7A Pro/27Q7A), were launched with great significance. This event broke away from the industry routine of "stacking parameters", focusing the entire event on user needs. Through differentiated dual series layout, perceptible practical functions, and real on-site experiences, it precisely responded to the demands of users from different circles, redefining the core value of gaming monitors.
Dual-series precise breakthrough: Combining all-round capabilities with specialized focus, covering all user segments
At this press conference, Leiyue monitors focused on "user needs" and created a "all-round flagship + hardcore esports" dual-drive model. Both series launched Pro versions and standard versions, balancing performance and budget, achieving full coverage from all-round users to beginner gamers, allowing every user to find a product that suits them.
Thunderbird Hunter II (27U8A Pro/27U8A): One-click dual-mode, meeting the core expectations of all-round users
As the all-round powerhouse of the launch event, the core competitiveness of the Leiyue 27U8A Pro lies precisely in accurately hitting the pain points of "all-round users" - the one-click dual-mode OSD switch, completely breaking the industry predicament of "3A graphics and high FPS refresh rate cannot be achieved simultaneously".
In the 4K 160Hz display mode, this product is equipped with 2304-zone QD-MiniLED light control technology, HDR1400 certification, a peak brightness of 2000 nits, and a professional color accuracy of ΔE < 2. Whether it is the delicate dark textures in 3A games, the rich light and shadow layers in film and television content, or the strict color accuracy requirements for office editing and video editing, it can handle all of them perfectly, allowing both creation and entertainment to achieve an immersive experience. After easily switching to the FHD 320Hz high refresh rate mode, relying on HuaXing FAST IPS panel, 1ms GTG native response speed and MPRT Plus dynamic blur elimination technology, high-speed operations such as pulling the trigger and sweeping in games can be realized without ghosting or lag, with perfect hand-feeling of the picture, easily meeting the smooth combat requirements of FPS and other competitive games.
Unlike the compromise-type water bucket monitors that offer "everything in one" functionality, the Thunderbird 27U8A Pro does not make any concessions in terms of picture quality, smoothness, and professionalism. It enables users to enjoy a flagship-level experience in various scenarios such as office work, gaming, and creative tasks. Truly achieving "one monitor covers all scenarios". Meanwhile, the Thunderbird 27U8A in the same series retains the dual-mode switching and MiniLED light control core capabilities, only moderately adjusting the number of partitions and peak brightness. With a more affordable price, it enables an all-round experience to reach a wider range of users with limited budgets.
Thunderbird Conqueror II Generation (27Q7A Pro/27Q7A): Ultra-high refresh rate, perfectly meeting the competitive demands of hardcore gamers
If the Thunderbird Hunter II is an all-rounder, then the Thunderbird Conqueror II is a "victory equipment" tailor-made for hardcore e-sports players. It focuses on providing an ultra-high refresh rate experience, and aligns every core function with the actual needs of the competitive environment.
The Conqueror II generation (27Q7A Pro) features a 320Hz ultra-high refresh rate, along with three levels of OD fine-tuning functionality. It can flexibly balance the response speed and the absence of ghosting effects according to the player's gaming habits. From the hardware perspective, it completely eliminates issues such as ghosting and ghosting that affect competition, allowing for clear and smooth operations such as quick turns and rapid shooting.
The standard version of Thunderbird 27Q7A is equipped with a 260Hz high refresh rate, retains the core gaming functions and the 1ms native response speed, precisely targeting price-conscious groups such as students and beginners, making high-end gaming experience no longer exclusive to a few.
In addition, both versions are equipped with practical functions such as intelligent shadow enhancement and customizable sights. The intelligent shadow enhancement can clearly display enemies in the shadows of the screen, and the customizable sights can be adapted to different game scenarios, turning high refresh rate from "paper parameters" into "winning competitiveness", and meeting the core demands of hardcore players for "extremely smooth and precise victory".
On-site measurement: Whether the function is good or not, users can tell.
For users, no amount of parameter descriptions can compare with an intuitive hands-on experience. In this new product launch event of LeEco Thunder, a real-life practical test section was specially set up. Edison and Catguy demonstrated the core functions from the user's perspective throughout the event, using real effects instead of parameter explanations, allowing users to clearly feel the practical value of the product.
During the actual test of the HDR function, the Raybird 27U8A Pro demonstrated remarkable light control capabilities: when HDR was turned off, the dark areas of the picture appeared grayish, and the highlight areas suffered from overexposure, resulting in a harsh visual experience; but when HDR was enabled, the picture instantly became transparent, with the highlights being soft and not dazzling, and the details in the dark areas were clearly visible. Whether it was gaming or watching movies, the immersion experience was significantly enhanced. Edison added, "This is our design that meets the user's needs. It's not just about increasing brightness, but making every part of the light and shadow more in line with human visual habits, bringing a more comfortable experience."
The demonstration of dual-mode switching directly addresses the users' pain point of "the complexity of switching". From the 4K 3A high-definition game screen to the FHD 320Hz high-refresh-rate gaming screen, the entire process only takes a few seconds, with no delay or lag. There is no need to repeatedly adjust system and game settings. After the actual test, Cat Brother shared from the perspective of an ordinary user: "Previously, switching between graphics quality and high refresh rate required repeated debugging in the system, which was particularly cumbersome. With the Thunderbird 27U8A Pro, it can be easily handled. After playing 3A games and switching to FPS, the experience is particularly smooth. This is the truly worry-free feature that users need."
In addition, the 90W Type-C reverse fast charging function and the ergonomic adjustable stand, among other practical features, also meet users' needs at a detailed level, making the office more convenient and the use more comfortable. Every design showcases the "user-centered" product philosophy of Leibo.
The significance of the Thunderbird Dual Series launch event goes far beyond the unveiling of four new products. It also indicates a new development direction for the gaming display industry in an era of diversified demands - parameters are the foundation, users are the core, and scene adaptation is the key.
Currently, the industry has long left the stage of "wild growth" and internal competition over parameters. Users' consumption concepts have shifted from "blindly chasing parameters" to "rational consideration of experience". The diversification and scene-specific nature of demands require brands to break free from the "competing over larger numbers" rut and truly focus on listening to user needs. With practical products and useful functions, they should respond to the expectations of every user. The success of Leeyoung Display lies in its not following the trend of internal competition but always standing from the user's perspective, capturing demands and solving pain points. With the Leeyoung Hunter II and Leeyoung Conqueror II series, it covers all scenarios and users with different budgets, ensuring that every demand can be responded to.
In the future, as the e-sports industry continues to develop, users' demands will become increasingly refined. Leiyao monitors will continue to deeply understand users' needs and create more practical, reliable, and scenario-appropriate display products, pushing the e-sports display industry to break away from the parameter competition and return to the essence of serving users, bringing each user a higher-quality and more demand-aligned display experience.
