Samsung is heading to CES this year with a trio of curved gaming monitors for its Odyssey series. The line-up includes two new Odyssey G7 monitors, but the star is unquestionably the new G9. Clocking in at a whopping 49 inches, the G9 definitely sounds like it's going to be a monitor that's only for PC gaming enthusiasts.
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.
Some tech companies are pushing for working on small screens like tablets or gaming on large ones like TVs. There will, however, always be a market for a middle ground, with screens that you can place on desks and stay there. Computer monitors for work and play are never really going away, even of all PCs became laptops. It is exactly for this market that LG will be launching a new generation of monitors from its Ultra brand but not before they make a stop at CES 2020 first.
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.
There has been a great emphasis placed on capturing great content, usually from smartphone cameras but also from DSLRs or even compacts. Taking those photos and videos for posterity is one thing. Turning them into professional edits is quite another. Usually, that is done on a computer with a monitor that might not always be configured with the best or even correct colors. It is for these wizards of visual content that Dell is launching the UltraSharp 27 4K PremierColor Monitor, the first of its kind to sport its own colorimeter inside.
Back in April of this year, 2019, Acer introduced a new collection of devices called ConceptD. This collection included of high-end computers, monitors, and a single Windows Mixed Reality Headset. Today we're taking a peek at a pair of ConceptD monitors - one is called Acer ConceptD CP3, the other is called ConceptD CP7.
In addition to introducing a number of laptops and tablets today, Lenovo has taken the wraps off three new monitors, including two in its Q-series and one in its ThinkVision line. All three monitors sport sleek, modern designs coupled with very slim bezels and a wide array of features. Depending on the model, users can expect large sizes, high resolutions, and technology for gamers.
Acer brought gaming power to IFA 2019 with the Predator Triton 500, a notebook which is one of the first in the world to roll with a 300Hz refresh rate. This is just a tiny bit quicker than the previous best in displays such as this - at around 240Hz. Earlier this year the HP Omen 15 was revealed as the world's first laptop with 240Hz display - now we're at 300Hz here at the tail end of Q3, the same year.
Gamescom might be over but companies are still finding ways to extend the energy and buzz thanks to IFA 2019. Razer has just loudly proclaimed the world's first gaming ultrabook and now LG is announcing the debut of new ultra-fast IPS gaming displays in Berlin. And while these three new UltraGear monitors may offer different features, they're all bound by two defining features: a 1 ms response times and refresh rates no lower than 120 Hz.
Lenovo's IFA 2019 showing isn't all about laptops and Chromebooks, as the handsome IdeaCentre A540 - and a pair of high-resolution monitors - illustrates nicely. The new all-in-one PC promises to be something attractive enough that you won't mind leaving it out, while the new G34w Gaming Monitor and L28u Monitor pack in the pixels.
It's Gamescom week and, naturally, companies are using the opportunity to entice gamers with their latest gaming products and peripherals. It may be best known for its smartphones but Samsung has also been making TVs and monitors far longer. This week, it announced three new gaming monitors, one of which boasts of being the first in the market to combine a curved screen and a super fast response rate.
Today Dell and Alienware revealed the Alienware 55 OLED Gaming Monitor, the first 55-inch OLED Gaming Monitor in the world, per Dell. This device has fast IPS (in-plane switching) tech, 120Hz variable refresh rate, and 0.5ms (gray-to-gray) response time. Up front it's all gaming business, around back it sports Alienware's newest industrial design ethos in full effect - it's simple, yet bold, and it rolls with AMD Radeon FreeSync technology under its hood.
