It was not all that long ago when you could bemoan the lack of OLED monitor options, with a comparatively small list of models that would shrink even further if leaving out exorbitantly priced displays. Well folks, as Bob Dylan famously said, the times, they are-a-changin', and in a good way. OLED monitor shipments...

In case it went unnoticed, two years ago, Sony unveiled its INZONE brand for PC gaming gear, which it kick started with a series of monitors and headsets. It's still not an especially expansive lineup, but it just grew a little bigger with a couple of new high-speed monitor additions, the more interesting of the duo...

Porsche Design and AOC (the display maker, not the politician) have once again collaborated on a premium gaming monitor, the Agon Pro PD34, which is sort of a smaller version of the Agon Pro PD49. As the model name suggests, it's a 34-inch panel. What it doesn't outwardly reveal is that this is a curved (1800R)...

If you've been around the block a time or two, then you may recall the race to 1GHz between AMD and Intel (which, despite protests from Intel and its Pentium III silicon, AMD is largely credited with winning with its Athon 1000 Thunderbird chip way back in the day). Now some 25 years later, it seems another race is...

Remember when Corsair was best known for its DRAM products, followed by gaming peripherals and cooling gear? It's expanded quite a bit since those early days, and its newest product announcement has nothing to do with RAM or gaming keyboards or CPU coolers, etc. Instead, it's a promising 34-inch monitor with a sleek...

Samsung is evidently unbothered by the lack of embrace for 3D display solutions from consumers over the years, as evidenced by a new display announced at Gamescom 2024 in Germany. Called the Odyssey 3D, it's Samsung's first 3D gaming monitor, and the "groundbreaking" monitor does not required any special glasses...

There's a small but growing army of gaming monitors that wield dual refresh rate options for players who can't decide between a fast 4K panel for gorgeous visuals, or an even faster 1080p display for competitive gaming at a lower resolution. Dual-mode models offer the best of both worlds in a single package. Most...

The art department and marketing team for monitor maker AOC must have dipped into a case of Red Bull, because their superlative descriptors for the company's new Agon Pro AG276QZD2 "tournament gaming" display have the hallmarks of a caffeine binge (and hey, we can relate!). One of the images (shown above) has a chat...

Cooler Master is giving Samsung (Odyssey Neo G9) and Acer (Predator Z57) some rare competition in the massive gaming monitor segment with the launch of its GP57ZS, a rather boring name for a display that's anything but mundane. As the model name only hints at, the GP57ZS is a gargantuan 57-inch monitor. It also sports...

At long last, the 4K OLED gaming monitor with dual refresh rate options that ASUS first showed off at the Consumer Electronics Shows (CES) earlier this year—the ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDP—is finally available to purchase. Granted, it’s not a cheaply priced display, but depending on your perspective, it’s sort of like...

There's not a wide selection of gaming monitors with a 540Hz refresh rate, likely because that kind of speed comes with numerous caveats. However, the market for such an animal just grew by one with the launch of AOC's Agon Pro AG246FK, a modestly-sized 24.1-inch display with a incredibly fast refresh rate for...

ASUS has a new firmware update available for its ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM, a 32-inch gaming monitor that already has a lot going for it, starting with a crisp QD-OLED display panel. The latest firmware adds a couple more goodies to the pile, one of which is support for Dolby Vision. This expands on the monitor's HDR...

Computex 2024 has brought with it a wide range of tech products, including ever important monitors. Among them, ASUS has unveiled a stunning 8K mini LED monitor geared squarely at professionals. While you may salivate at the thought of 8K gaming, the pure hardware demands supersede even NVIDIA's flagship GeForce RTX...

Well, that was relatively fast. Earlier this month, the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) unveiled a "major update" to its DisplayHDR specification, with version 1.2 adding key (and more stringent) metrics to earn a DisplayHDR badge. Now just over three weeks later, LG says its 45-inch UltraGear OLED...

ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) is laying claim to what it says is the world's first glossy WOLED gaming monitor. As the model name implies, the new ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDMG is a 27-inch display (technically 26.5 inches, but what's half an inch between friends?) with an OLED panel, but what sets it apart is that it's...

A Chinese company called ThundeRobot is readying a bodacious QD-OLED gaming monitor that is one of a rare (and newer) breed of displays that feature dual refresh rates. The dual mode display falls under its 'Silver Wing' lineup of gaming monitors, and offers gamers the option to play at 4K resolution (3840x2160) with...

If you have come to conclusion that there is nothing your battle station needs more than a giant-sized gaming monitor, then 'Whew, doggy!', you are going to love the current deals landscape. Monster displays measuring 49 inches or even bigger have seen some recent price cuts, with both Samsung and MSI getting in on...

Remember when a 55-inch TV was considered a big screen? They've been shoved aside by 75-inch, 85-inch, and even massively big 98-inch living room displays. Instead of dominating the living room, however, 55-inch panels have become an enormous option for PC battle stations, along with gaming monitors that are even...

Look, if you're rocking a 49-inch monitor for your PC setup, then your battle station display is anything but puny. But plop it next to Acer's new Predator Z57? Well, that's about the only thing on the market that might make a 49-inch display feel small by comparison. As the model name implies, the Predator Z57 (first...

For a long while, gaming displays were mostly barren of OLED panels, but that's beginning to change. While still not as pervasive as LCD, we're seeing OLED announcements with some frequency these days, the latest of which comes from ViewSonic—its first OLED gaming monitor, the XG272-2K-OLED, just made its debut and is...

That said, we've rounded up some excellent gaming monitor bargains...

Monitors makers continue to make a push into OLED territory, a move that is either long overdue or, depending on your perspective, too late with mini LED having emerged as a premium option as well. Regardless, OLED monitor options are growing, the latest being AOC's 45-inch class Agon Pro AG456UCZD that's now...
