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...Read more...
Brace yourself, a barrage of 'Prime Big Deal Days' bargains are coming, as well as discounts at retailers like Best Buy and Walmart in a mad dash to compete for your dollars. The two-day event kicks off tomorrow (October 8) and runs through Wednesday (October 9). As is typically the case, however, there are plenty of...Read more...
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...Read more...
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)...Read more...
The last time Panasonic sold TVs in the United States around a decade ago, not long after it ceased production of plasma models. It's a far different landscape these days, both in terms of display technologies and features (as well as pricing), and now Panasonic is teaming up with Amazon (and also Costco, to an...Read more...
If you're reading HotHardware, you probably already know that displays based on Organic Light-Emitting Diodes, or "OLEDs", have a lot of advantages over more conventional liquid-crystal displays (LCDs.) They offer essentially-instant response times, highly-saturated colors, and inky blacks that make for decent final...Read more...
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...Read more...
If you've ever directly compared modern LCDs and OLEDs, you'll know that the biggest problem with most consumer OLEDs is that they just don't get that bright. This is a problem for users who want high contrast for sharp HDR highlights, but the reason is simple -- the blue pixels will die too fast. LG Display claims to...Read more...
It's not too often that I do a double-take when looking at a deal, but today it happened. What caused the unexpected reaction is a deeply discounted ASUS ROG gaming laptop that's brimming with desirable features, such as a fast OLED display powered by Intel's flagship Meteor Lake processor, the Core 9 Ultra 285H. The...Read more...
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...Read more...
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...Read more...
If anyone is looking to upgrade their old TV ahead of the upcoming Football season, or in the midst of the boys of Summer playing Baseball, Best Buy has some stellar deals going on right now. OLED technology is arguable superior to all other TV panel types, and whether you prefer a huge 83-inch screen, or a more...Read more...
If you haven't shopped for a TV in a long time, you're in for a treat. Today's displays offer a ton of bang for your buck, and it's gotten to the point where even premium panel technologies such as OLED are attainable without taking out a second mortgage. Highlighting this is Best Buy's deal of the day, which is a...Read more...
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...Read more...
It's not often that I do a double-take when looking at a press release or product announcement, but I sure did one with LG's 2024 Gram SuperSlim laptop. Yes, it's incredibly thin as the name suggests, at around a mere 0.43 to 0.49 inches (depending on where you measure), and it's feather-light at a scant 2.18 pounds...Read more...
The cream of the crop when it comes to widely available TV technology is still OLED, though it comes at a pricing premium compared to LCD and, in most cases, mini LED as well. However, OLED is much more affordable these days than it was just a few short years ago, a fact that's highlighted by LG's new B4 OLED TV...Read more...
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...Read more...
Intense competition on the TV space has allowed manufacturers and retailers to offer some enticing discounts on high end models, including OLED displays, which are the cream of the crop in terms of image quality. Driving this point home are some big savings that are up for grabs on several of Samsung's OLED TVs...Read more...
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...Read more...
The OLED iPad Pro launched earlier this week, and there are already complaints from some unfortunate owners who are experiencing a grainy display. Reports are coming in on both the 11-inch and 13-inch models, with one Reddit user confirming they do not have the Nano-texture glass add-on feature.
Apple’s latest iPad...Read more...
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...Read more...
Samsung is expanding its OLED TV lineup with some additional size options to its existing S90D series, while also rolling out a brand-new S85D family to make the leap into OLED territory a little more affordable—manufacturer suggested retail pricing (MSRP) on the S85D OLED lineup starts at $1,699.99. Isn't competition...Read more...
