The OnePlus 8 is rumored to have a 120Hz display as well as access to 5G connectivity - are the positives enough to outweigh the potential negative? The display on the OnePlus 8 Pro was tipped to roll with a 240Hz touch refresh rate, too. Why would anyone not want a display such as this? Let's take a peek at what's possible.
It feels almost like yesterday when OnePlus burst into the smartphone scene with a "Never Settle" slogan and a flagship that nearly matched the big boys of the market at only half the price tag. Since then, the upstart startup has positioned itself as an innovator, something it tried to do again at CES 2020 last week. Not content with its disappearing camera trick, the company has now revealed yet another technology milestone for the company, one that could at least see an actual implementation in the upcoming OnePlus 8.
It's no secret that Samsung wants to be in everything be it in your pocket, in your home, and, now, in your car as well. Building upon last year's reveal, Samsung and its HARMAN subsidiary showed off the Digital Cockpit 2020, Samsung's idea of how the car of the future would interact with drivers, passengers, and even other cars. Naturally, it is filled with displays and mobile features but no one probably expected there would be eight such screens in and around the car.
Acer has a trio of new Predator gaming monitors, and if you've been holding off upgrading until things like HDR, massive curved panels, and OLED arrive, now may be the time to raid your bank account. The Acer Predator X32, Predator X38, and Predator CG552K make their debut at CES 2020 this week, with sizes all the way up to a whopping 55-inches. Meanwhile, there's a tease of a new laptop notebook display that is already shaping up to wow.
Samsung is teasing its gorgeous Q950TS QLED 8K television model ahead of its CES 2020 debut. This model packs an Infinity Screen with a 'nearly-bezel-less' design, the result being what appears to be simply a large screen floating above a small stand. The Q950TS includes AI-powered 8K content upscaling, an Adaptive Picture feature, and much (much) more.
Lenovo's media-centric Creator range is getting five new additions at CES 2020, with two notebooks, a pair of displays, and a desktop PC all being added to the line-up. Featuring 10th Gen Intel Core processors, NVIDIA graphics, and USB-C connectivity, the new Windows 10 models also use Lenovo's Q-Control system for better power management without overheating or putting too much of a hit on battery life.
Lenovo is making a big play for your desktop, with a new ThinkCentre M90a All-in-One and a bevy of displays for CES 2020, including the promising new ThinkVision Creator Extreme. The new Windows 10 all-in-one offers a host of privacy features to go along with its discrete GPU, while the new ThinkVision monitors include features like docking stations and curved LCD panels.
LG has a new 65-inch rollable OLED UHD TV to show for CES 2020, very similar to what they last showed in the USA at CES 2019. Per LG, this new television concept "can be installed naturally as part of the space and can only be used down when needed." This might remind you of a classroom from your childhood, where a projector screen would be pulled (manually or automatically) from an overhead roll. Now that roll can be the television itself - not just a white panel of material for reflecting projected light.
Dell and Alienware have a new range of monitors for CES 2020, a quartet of displays promising features like 4K resolution, USB-C connectivity, and 240 Hz refresh rates. While Dell is pitching its new monitors as perfect for business desks, there are plenty of reasons why regular consumers might want to take a look too.
Although Apple is often praised for its design acumen and almost obsessive attention to detail, there are a few times that it has also been the butt of jokes for some products. Sometimes those jokes eventually go away but some do remain, especially when they're constantly reminded of how Apple can sometimes look out of touch with reality. The latest example of that is the $6,000 Pro Display XDR that comes with a nano-texture glass that apparently requires a very special cloth from Apple to clean.
Apple's new Mac Pro has gone up for order, with the flagship macOS computer bringing along the new Apple Pro Display XDR - and its fiendishly expensive stand - for the ride. Announced earlier this year, the new Mac Pro is a stark departure from its predecessor, though also a nod back to classic models before that - and the reasons users liked them.
Apple's long-anticipated new Mac Pro - along with the Pro Display XDR - has finally got an order date, with the Cupertino company quietly notifying would-be buyers when they can open their wallet. Announced earlier this year, the new Mac Pro brought a marked change in design from its predecessor, stepping away from the controversial "trash can" aesthetic.
