The KTC 25M5 is an advanced esports monitor that was launched in China and teased for a global release with an unspecified timeframe. The monitor features a 24.5-inch Fast IPS display with a QHD resolution and a 260Hz refresh rate. It uses a BOE MV245QHB‑NF1 display panel with 10‑bit color (8‑bit + FRC) paired with Quantum Dot Color technology, covering 100% of the sRGB, 96.4% of the Adobe RGB, and 97.4% of the DCI‑P3 color space.
Backlighting is handled by a dense Mini LED array with 1152 local dimming zones, enabling a typical brightness of 600 nits and a peak of 1500 nits. Combined with DisplayHDR 1000 certification, the 25M5 is capable of high‑impact highlights and deep contrast - an unusual strength for a compact esports‑focused display. The monitor supports a variable refresh range of up to 260 Hz via DisplayPort and up to 144 Hz over HDMI 2.0. Response times are listed at 1 ms GtG and 0.5 ms MPRT, backed by Adaptive‑Sync, Variable Overdrive, and low‑input‑lag tuning.
The design follows a modern esports aesthetic with a 3‑side bezel‑less frame and bold Purple/Neon Green, White/Orange, and Black/Silver color accents. Ergonomics are comprehensive: 135 mm height adjustment, 60‑degree swivel, 5° forward and 35° backward tilt, and full pivot rotation. A side shield and rear headphone hook add practical touches for tournament setups, while the stand remains fully removable for VESA 100×100 mounting.
Connectivity includes two HDMI 2.0 ports, DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC, a 3.5 mm audio jack, and a USB‑A port for firmware updates. The monitor also integrates gaming‑centric tools such as Black Stabilizer, crosshair overlays, FPS counter, game timer, and low‑blue‑light modes.
In China, the KTC 25M5 is priced between CNY 1100 and 1900 (USD 164-284).
