Thunderbird released the 25Q6A Pro gaming monitor to offer high refresh rates at a budget price point. This 24.5-inch display targets competitive gamers who need speed without paying premium prices for top-tier specs. The combination of a 360Hz refresh rate and 2K resolution provides a clear advantage for fast-paced titles.

Fast IPS panel and Mini LED backlighting target budget competitive gamers
The monitor uses a Fast IPS panel to balance response times and viewing angles. Thunderbird equipped the display with Mini LED backlighting to improve contrast and brightness. This setup allows the screen to handle high dynamic range content more effectively than standard LED panels.
Specifications
- Panel Size: 24.5 inches
- Resolution: 2K (2560×1440)
- Refresh Rate: 360Hz
- Panel Type: Fast IPS
- Backlight Technology: Mini LED
Technical specifications include a 2560×1440 resolution and a peak brightness of 800 nits. The panel supports DisplayHDR 600 certification and covers 95% of the DCI-P3 color gamut. It also reaches 99% coverage of the sRGB standard for accurate color reproduction in standard games.
Thunderbird set the official price at 1649 CNY (around $243), which translates to around $243. The company indicates that a subsidized price of approximately 1300 CNY (around $192) may be available, though the exact figure is not yet published. Sales are scheduled to begin in China on July 31, 2024.
We looked at ViewSonic Launches VX25G26-2K-W earlier while tracking Thunderbird launches. That previous model offered a lower 180Hz refresh rate for a similar form factor. The 25Q6A Pro pushes the refresh rate higher while maintaining the same 24.5-inch size.
The 25Q6A Pro is a confirmed product with defined specs and a release date. Buyers in China can purchase it starting July 31, 2024, at the listed price of 1649 CNY (around $243).
