20 Lenovo and ANTGAMER Monitors Earn Native Gaming Certification
Shanghai – October 15, 2026 -- Twenty gaming monitors from Lenovo's Legion line and HKC's ANTGAMER brand are among the first to earn TÜV Rheinland's new Native Gaming Performance Certification, which rates displays from three to five stars.
The standard was officially launched at the 23rd China Digital Entertainment Expo & Conference (ChinaJoy) in July 2026. It targets a familiar problem: higher refresh rates and shorter advertised response times do not necessarily mean clearer, more stable visuals, especially when those specs rely on overclocking, undisclosed reductions in display quality or compromises in stability.
Overclocked refresh rates are excluded from certification
The framework defines three refresh-rate operating modes: native, overclocked and dual-mode. It applies a "same mode, full-system testing" principle, and refresh-rate overclocking is excluded from certification.
