MSI today unveiled the MAG 27CQ6F, a 27-inch curved gaming monitor. This 16:9 display offers a QHD (2560 x 1440 pixels) resolution, with has a curvature of 1500R. It uses a Rapid VA panel with 180 Hz refresh rate, and 0.5 ms (GTG) response time; along with support for VESA Adaptive Sync. Other vital specs of the panel include a 300 nits maximum brightness, 5000:1 static contrast ratio, 10 bpc (1.07 billion colors), 80% coverage of Adobe RGB and DCI-P3, and 105% coverage of sRGB. Display inputs include DisplayPort 1.4 and two HDMI 2.0b. There's a 3.5 mm headphones jack that puts out audio from the DP/HDMI connection. Measuring 61 cm x 25 cm x 45.6 cm, the monitor weighs about 4 kg. The company didn't reveal pricing.

AMD in an announcement on Tuesday, announced changes to its AMD FreeSync display requirements. The updated requirements should vastly reduce the flood of 1080p and 1440p displays with lower refresh rates, such as 75 Hz, from boasting of FreeSync support. AMD has three tiers of FreeSync based on the refresh-rate and features such as HDR. The base tier FreeSync feature now calls for a desktop monitor or TV to come with a refresh rate of at least 144 Hz, if its horizontal resolution is under 3440 pixels. This would cover everything 2560 x 1600, to 2560 x 1440, to the popular 1920 x 1080, and certain ultrawide resolutions such as 2560 x 1080.

To qualify for the FreeSync Premium tier, which customers use to identify high refresh-rate displays; a desktop monitor or TV with a horizontal resolution under 3440 pixels now needs at least 200 Hz of refresh rate. Displays with over 3440 pixels (which should include 4K Ultra HD), now need at least 120 Hz to qualify for FreeSync Premium. AMD isn't clear on what refresh-rate it takes for a 4K UHD display to qualify for the base FreeSync tier. Moving on, the top FreeSync Premium Pro tier, which helps customers identify displays that not only have high refresh-rates but also HDR; nothing is changed—the display must feature HDR on top of meeting the new requirements for FreeSync Premium. The story is different for notebook displays. For the base FreeSync tier, a refresh-rate of 40-60 Hz will do; and for FreeSync Premium, you need at least 120 Hz. HDR on top of this gives you FreeSync Premium Pro. All displays will need FreeSync hardware support (which essentially builds on top of VESA Adaptive Sync).

Back in January, Gigabyte announced a wide range of new displays at CES and one of the new models that the company didn't have on display at the show was the AORUS FO27Q3. The company has now shared more details on its website of the new display and it gives us a lot more details than what had previously been released. As the model name suggests, the AORUS FO27Q3 is a 27-inch display and the resolution is 2560 x 1440 pixels and the refresh rate will top out at 360 Hz and has a response time of 0.03 ms. The FO27Q3 is built around a QD-OLED panel with an anti-reflective coating. The panel is said to be a 10-bit panel capable of 10.7 billion colours and it's certified for DisplayHDR True Black 400, has a typical brightness of 250 cd/m² and a contrast ratio of 15 million to one.

Other features include support for AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and VESA ClearMR 13000, but there's no mention of G-Sync support. Other features include a range of gaming related features such as crosshairs, night vision, black equalizer etc. as well as picture by picture and picture in picture support. Inputs consist of two HDMI 2.1 ports, one DP 1.4, one USB Type-C with DP Alt mode support as well as a very disappointing 18 W of USB Power Delivery. Furthermore there's a USB 3.0 upstreams port and two downstreams ports, a headphone and a microphone jack. Gigabyte has also added KVM support and a stand that offers tilt, swivels, pivot and height adjustment. The display is said to have a peak power draw of 53 Watts and relies on an external power brick. No word on pricing or availability.

INNOCN brought its latest gaming monitors to the 2024 International CES; it didn't waste out time with monitors based on 15 year old tech; but rolled out the very latest—IPS with miniLED backlighting, and OLED. The Titan Army P27A6V is a 27-inch planar display with 4K Ultra HD resolution and a blistering 144 Hz refresh rate (which is high, considering this is 4K). This display uses an IPS panel with miniLED backlighting, and meets DisplayHDR 1000 spec. Display connectivity include HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4, both of which provide enough bandwidth of 4K HDR @ 144 Hz. Brilliant stuff, but this is "only" a 27-inch display, which will incur Hi-DPI scaling. Need something bigger? Check out the Titan Army P32A6V, which has identical specs to the P27A6V, but in a larger 32-inch planar format. Both these displays come in gunmetal gray and matte-white body color variants.

Switching up gears is the INNOCN M27E6V, a 27-inch planar display with a Fast IPS panel paired with miniLED backlighting. This one provides 4K Ultra HD with even faster 160 Hz refresh rate, and support for HDR 1400, and 99% coverage of DCI-P3. Inputs include DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1, and USB type-C (DisplayPort passthrough). You can use the monitor in single cable mode if the USB-C connection is capable of delivering 90 W. The next premium display is the Titan Army G27E8S, a 26.5-inch planar display that uses an OLED panel, and meant for performance gaming. You get a lower WQHD (2560 x 1440 pixels) resolution than the other three displays we mentioned so far; but at higher 240 Hz refresh rate, and under 0.5 ms GTG response time, thanks to the OLED panel. Inputs include DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.1. The display meets HDR10 spec.

ASUS and Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced an exciting lineup of displays for gaming, professional content creation, hybrid work, and entertainment at CES 2024. ROG continues to drive gaming display innovation with the introduction of the 39-inch ROG Swift OLED PG39WCDM 800R-curved monitor, the 32-inch PG32UCDP—the world's first dual-mode gaming monitor with a Frame Rate Boost feature that lets users switch between 4K 240 Hz and FHD 480 Hz modes - and the PG27AQDP, the world's fastest 27-inch OLED monitor. In addition, ROG also unveiled the award-winning ROG Aura Monitor Light Bar ALB01 and ROG Ergo Monitor Arm AAS01 to upgrade any gaming setup.

Content creators will appreciate the latest ProArt Display PA278CFRV, an eco-friendly QHD (2560 x 1440) IPS monitor featuring 95% DCI-P3 and USB-C with 96 W power delivery—perfect for Windows laptop and MacBook users. ASUS unveiled a trio of portable displays including ZenScreen Fold OLED MQ17QH—the world's first foldable OLED portable display—and the 21.5-inch, 100 Hz ZenScreen MB229CF with several versatile stand options, along with the 15.6-inch ZenScreen MB166CR featuring a 360° kickstand that doubles as a wall mount.

Acer today announced the Acer Nitro 17 (AN17-72) gaming laptop, unlocking improved performance, immersive experiences, plus essential features for playing and multi-tasking on the go. The device is powered by the latest Intel Core 14th gen processors, featuring Intel's Performance Hybrid Architecture with improved power and core frequencies to manage workloads efficiently. At the same time, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs with DLSS 3.5 technology. NVIDIA RTX Laptop GPUs are packed with specialized AI Tensor Cores enabling unmatched AI performance in creative apps, ultra-efficient productivity, blistering fast gaming, and more. Built with Microsoft Copilot and the next wave of computing, the Nitro laptop provides access to Copilot in Windows via a dedicated Copilot key, making it even easier to harness the power of AI to assist with productivity and creativity tasks.

The Nitro 17 is further supported by an advanced cooling system, AI-assisted communication features, and NitroSense software for full device control. To top it all off, the Windows 11 gaming laptop is shipped with one month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, providing access to a library of hundreds of high-quality games to be explored with friends on PC, console, or cloud.

With a bunch of new OLED displays launching from several major brands, it's been very quiet on the Mini LED front. This is despite several panel makers having showed off new Mini LED panels this year. That said, it now looks like Cooler Master is getting ready to launch a new 27-inch model called the Tempest GP2711, according to TFT Central. Looking at the base specs, this is a standard 165 Hz 2560 x 1440 monitor that's built around a VA-type panel with a sub 4 ms grey to grey response time.

However, what makes it stand out from the crowd is the fact that it has a 576-zone Mini LED backlight, which helps deliver an SDR brightness of 600 cd/m². Furthermore, Cooler Master has gone with a Quantum Dot coating, which should make colour pop. It should also have a 3000:1 contrast ratio and a colour gamut that covers 95% of the DCI-P3 reference space. Gaming features include FreeSync Premium Pro support. Connectivity wise the Tempest GP2711 is said to sport one DP 1.4 and two HDMI 2.0 ports, as well as a USB Type-C with DP Alt mode support and 15 W power delivery. There are also two downstreams USB 3.0 ports and an audio out, as well as presumably another USB input, as the monitor is said to feature KVM support. The stand supports standard tilt, height and swivel adjustments. According to TFT Central, the Tempest GP2711 should retail for around US$449 when it arrives early next year.

We've seen all kinds of devices integrate E Ink technology over the years, ranging from USB flash drives to keyboards and of course eReaders. However, Philips decided it was a good idea to stick one next to a 1440p display in its forgetably named 24B1D5600 monitor. The 23.8-inch 2560 x 1440 monitor has the E Ink display attached to its right side and the E Ink display is attached on hinges and can be angled up to 45 degrees towards the main display. The E Ink display measures 13.3-inches and has a resolution of 1200 x 1600 pixels.

Although originally revealed at CES 2022, it seems to have taken Philips quite a while to bring it to market, although it appears to have been on sale in Asia for at least a couple of months by now. The main display features an IPS panel with a 75 Hz refresh rate and a brightness that tops up at a mere 250 cd/m². It has a typical IPS contrast ratio of 1000:1 and a grey to grey response time of 4 ms. However, it also doubles as a docking station for a notebook, as it has a USB-C input that supports USB PD 3.0 up to 90 W and it has a built-in Gigabit Ethernet port. It also sports a DP 1.2 input and a four port USB Type-A hub, plus an audio output. One quirky thing is that the E Ink display requires its own input which is via a USB-C port that supports DP Alt mode and that is capable of outputting 15 W of power to an attached device. The 24B1D5600 retails for around US$620 in Asia.

LG has launched what appears to be something of a budget model in its UltraGear range of gaming monitors in the shape of the UltraGear 27GR75Q-B. What we're looking at is a 2560 x 1440 resolution display with a refresh rate of up to 165 Hz, which not so long ago would've made this a premium product in the 1440p monitor segment. However, taking a closer look at the specifications, it's pretty clear that this is more of a budget model, as it only supports HDR10 and has a typical brightness of 300 nits and a minimum brightness of a mere 240 nits. You still get an IPS panel at least, although we're not sure how LG can claim it has a 1 ms grey to grey response time, as that's not something commonly found in IPS displays.

Other gaming features include FreeSync Premium and G-Sync Compatible support and LG's various gaming features, such as black stabilizer, dynamic action sync and an OSD feature that allows you to add a crosshair. Connectivity consists of two HDMI ports which top out at 144 Hz and one DP 1.4 port that tops out at 165 Hz, as well as a 3.5 mm audio jack. The monitor is at least fairly power efficient with a maximum power draw of 48 W and a typical power consumption of 45 W. The stand supports tilt, height and pivot adjustment. We found the UltraGear 27GR75Q-B listed for sale in Hong Kong for around US$250, confirming that this is indeed a more budget friendly option from LG.

IGZO or Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide is a type of semiconducting material that has been used in displays by Sharp since 2012, although mainly for mobile devices courtesy of being more power efficient compared to standard IPS panels. There doesn't seem to have been much interest by other players in the display industry to use the material, although there have been other IGZO based display panels in the past. However, at Touch Taiwan, InnoLux showed off no less than two new display panels relying on IGZO, both targeting gamers. Both panels measure 27-inches and support HDR 600. The 2560 x 1440 model is capable of a massive 480 Hz, a refresh rate that was only possible using TN panels to date.

The second display panel offers 3840 x 2160 resolution at 240 Hz, which isn't unique on the market, but as these IGZO panels are based around IPS rather than VA technology, they shouldn't suffer from the dreaded ghosting that many VA panels suffer from. InnoLux was very sparse on other technology details, but both panels have a 98 percent DCI-P3 colour gamut coverage and the QHD display has a grey to grey response time of 3 ms, whereas the 4K variant is a bit higher at 5 ms. Both panels looked stunning and this might be what many gamers have been waiting for, at least as a stop gap before OLED displays become more affordable.

ASUS today formally launched the ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDM Monitor. We first spotted this monitor on the show-floor at the 2023 International CES back in January. It is one of the company's fastest monitors with an OLED display panel. The 27-incher offers WQHD (2560 x 1440 pixels) resolution, with a blistering 0.03 ms response time, and 240 Hz refresh rate, and 1,000 nits peak brightness and DCI-P3 coverage of 99%. OLED panels tend to produce more heat than LED-backlit LCD panels, and so ASUS introduced a passive cooling solution to cool it. The monitor supports NVIDIA G-SYNC (compatible), along with VESA Adaptive Sync. Display inputs include a DisplayPort 1.4, and two HDMI 2.0. The company didn't reveal pricing.

For those that find a 270 Hz refresh rate a bit on the laggy side when gaming at 2560 x 1440, ASUS has updated its ROG Strix series of monitors with the XG27AQMR model. The R on the end of the model name denotes the higher refresh rate, as well as support for DisplayHDR 600 over the previous model in the series. Although the two monitors are said to be using a Fast IPS panel, the new model has a 1 ms Grey to Grey response time, whereas the older model is rated at 0.5 ms.

All the gaming features you'd expect to find are of course included, such are FreeSync Premium Pro and G-Sync compatibility, ELMB which can be combined with FreeSync and various other ASUS specific features such as GameFast Input technology and GameVisual. The inputs haven't changed from the previous model in the series either, which means there's one DP 1.4 port and two HDMI 2.0 ports, as well as a USB-B input and two USB-A ports, all supporting USB 3.2 Gen 1 speeds, or 5 Gbps. The stand supports tilt, swivel, pivot and height adjustment. No word on pricing, but the previous model retails for around US$650, so we'd expect a small price premium on top of that for the higher refresh rate and improved HDR support.

Today's gamers have higher expectations than ever. They're looking for a truly immersive experience that engages their senses and allows them to enjoy the full thrill of the game. They want a setup with cutting-edge specs, but these gamers also want the emotion of gaming.

"With an intuitive design and simple set-up, these user-centric monitors are the perfect tool to escalate the video conferencing experience."

It may be small, but it's fast! The new ROG Swift Pro PG248QP is a 24.1-inch planar gaming monitor with a measly Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) resolution, but an at an incredible 540 Hz refresh rate, making it the world's fastest E-Sports display. This display is so quick, and ASUS set up a 144 Hz display next to it for comparison, and one could tell the difference. The monitor also features NVIDIA G-SYNC, and NVIDIA Reflex Analyzer, along with a USB 3.2 hub, so you can plug your Reflex-compatible gaming mouse to the monitor, and the monitor itself to an upstream USB 3.2 source, besides the DisplayPort connection. Another interesting aspect about this monitor is that ASUS has integrated a high-end USB audio DAC sourced from ESS, so you can plug your analog headset to the display and get audio quality on par with a high-end onboard audio solution, or even a mid-range discrete sound card.

Elsewhere across the ASUS ROG booth, we caught the ASUS ROG Swift PG27AQDM-OLED, the company's fastest gaming monitors to use an OLED panel. This 27-inch monitor offers WQHD (2560 x 1440 pixels) resolution, with 0.03 ms response time, and 240 Hz refresh rate, besides 1,000 nits peak brightness, and 99% DCI-P3 coverage. The panel features an anti-glare micro-coating. OLED displays tend to produce more heat than backlit LCD displays, and so this monitor packs a series of thermal innovations to prolong the lifespan of the OLED panel. It supports AMD FreeSync Premium,

ASUS and ROG today announced an exciting lineup of displays for gaming, professional content creation, hybrid work, and entertainment. ROG continues to drive display innovation with the introduction of Swift OLED PG27AQDM, the first ROG 1440p OLED gaming monitor, and Swift Pro PG248QP, the world's fastest esports gaming monitor that delivers supersmooth visuals at an astounding 540 Hz. Also on show were the new ultra-wide curved 49-inch Strix XG49WCR, the Swift PG32UQXR DisplayPort 2.1 gaming monitor, and TUF offerings for mainstream gamers.

Content creators will appreciate the latest ProArt Display OLED PA32DCM and ProArt Display PA279CRV. The former is an advanced 4K UHD DCI-P3 professional monitor that features an RGB Stripe OLED panel with 700 nits maximum brightness. ProArt Display PA279CRV is a 4K UHD IPS monitor that features 99% DCI-P3/Adobe RGB, and includes USB-C with 96 W power delivery, so it's perfect for MacBook and Windows laptop users. Plus, it meets EPEAT Gold, ENERGY STAR, and TCO global environmental standards.

The first flat OLED gaming monitor is here and it's unsurprisingly from LG and part of its UltraGear range of gaming products and goes under the model name 27GR95QE-B. Although it's being touted as a 27-inch display, the screen size is only 26.5-inches, which is a bit unusual. The resolution is 2560 x 1440, with a pixel pitch of 110.8 PPI and the refresh rate goes up to 240 Hz. The OLED panel is capable of delivering 1.07 billion colours and delivers a colour gamut of 98.5 percent of the DCI-P3 standard. LG claims the display has a GtG response time of 0.03 ms which is so far unheard of on a consumer display. LG doesn't supply a brightness rating, nor does the UltraGear OLED appear to have any kind of HDR certification, but supports HDR10, although considering it's an OLED panel, this shouldn't be much of a concern.

There's support for FreeSync Premium and VRR, with the display being G-Sync compatible as well. Other gaming related features include the typical things you'd find on most gaming displays today, such as an FPS counter, a built in crosshair and of course some RGB lighting features. Connectivity wise the UltraGear OLED comes with two unspecified HDMI ports and one unspecified DisplayPort input, as well as one upstreams USB 3.0 port (Type-B) and two downstreams USB 3.0 ports (Type-A). The monitor also has an S/PDIF out and a headset jack, which suggests that it does audio over USB. Finally there's a barrel plug for the 19 V power brick. The display also has support for DTS HP:X where HP stands for headphones, but there are no built in speakers. The stand supports tilt, height, swivel and pivot adjustments and can be adjusted up to 11 cm in height. LG is asking US$999.99 for the UltraGear OLED, which might be a bit more than what most people would be willing to pay for it, but it's at least a first step towards a range of new OLED gaming monitors.

KTC, an experienced monitor manufacturer and innovator, is pleased to introduce 4 new gaming monitors to the public in October. The KTC H27T22 is a 27-inch Fast IPS monitor with excellent gaming performance. It features a 165 Hz refresh rate and a 1 ms GTG response time. Compared with 60 Hz monitors, the H27T22 monitor reduces motion blur more effectively and makes motion look smoother, making it ideal for gamers, especially e-sports players. Compatible with FreeSync and G-SYNC, it avoids screen tearing and stuttering. For a better gaming experience, it offers some preset modes including FPS (First-Person Shooter), RTS (Real-Time Strategy), and RAC (Race Game). More enhanced gaming features are provided to help improve gamers' performance, such as Timer and Sniper Sight.

The H27T22 monitor has a high resolution of 2560 x 1440, presenting higher-quality and crisper images. Supporting HDR10, it delivers a wide dynamic range and a wide color gamut. The Full HD 8-bit monitor covers 99% of the sRGB gamut and displays 16.7 million colors for more lifelike images. Equipped with an adjustable stand, it stands steadily on the desk and allows users to adjust the screen to a comfortable height and angle. Compliant with the VESA standard, it can be securely mounted on the wall.

Creative Technology today launched Creative Live!

Everything and everyone can be projected in visual harmony while remaining in clear focus. An integrated lens cap protects for privacy easily when needed with the bonus of keeping dust away. A compact universal tripod mounting plate means it will fit any laptops, desktop monitors or even tripods.

Intel has decided to share some more details on its upcoming Arc A750 graphics card, the one and same that appeared briefly in a Gamer Nexus video just the other day. The exact product being previewed is the Intel Arc A750 Limited Edition graphics card, but the company didn't reveal any specifications of the card in the video it posted. What is revealed, is that the card will outperform a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 card at 1440p in the five titles that Intel provided performance indications and average frame rates for. The five games are F1 2021, Cyberpunk 2077, Control, Borderlands 3 and Fortnite, so in other words, mostly quite demanding games with F1 2021 and Fortnite being the exceptions.

The only game we get any kind of insight into the actual performance of in the video, is Cyberpunk 2077, where Ryan Shrout details the game settings and the actual frame rate. At 2560 x 1440, using high settings, the Arc A750 delivers 60.79 FPS, with a low of 50.54 FPS and a max of 77.92 FPS. Intel claims this is 1.17 times the performance of an EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 XC Gaming 12G graphics card. At least Intel didn't try to pull a fast one, as the company provided average frame rates for all the other games tested as well, not just how many times faster the Intel card was and you can see those results below. The test system consisted of an Intel Core i9-12900K fitted to an ASUS ROG Maximus Z690 Hero board, 32 GB of 4800 MHz DDR5 memory and a Corsair MP600 Pro XT 4 TB NVMe SSD, as well as Windows 11 Pro. According to the video, the Arc graphics cards should launch "this summer" and Intel will be releasing more details between now and the launch.

Redmagic, a sub-brand of Nubia Technology and a company that is mainly known for its phones with a gaming focus, has announced its first PC accessories, namely two computer monitors, as well as a gaming keyboard and a gaming mouse. The most interesting product in the lineup is the high-end 27-inch display, as not only is it a 4K monitor with a fast IPS panel with a 160 Hz refresh rate, but it also sports Mini LED backlight with 1152 FALD zones. Redmagic claims the display delivers 99 percent of the sRGB, Adobe RGB and the DCI-P3 colour gamut, which seems a bit odd, as these values are usually never that close to each other. It's said to be DisplayHDR 1000 certified and using ultra-high frequency PWM backlight dimming, to reduce any kind of flicker from the backlight dimming.

More gaming specific features include the typical 1 ms response time, support for Freesync and G-Sync. The inputs consist of two HDMI 2.1 ports, one DP 1.4 and one USB-C port with 90 W USB-PD support. A version of the display comes with a mmWave add-on unit, for connecting mobile devices wirelessly to the display and Redmagic claims a mere 1.7 ms input lag using mmWave to connect to the display. The company didn't specify which standard that was being used, so it could be something proprietary that only works with its phones. Redmagic also announced a fairly typical 2560 x 1440 screen, although it too uses a fast IPS panel and has a refresh rate of 240 Hz, but it lacks the FALD and is only HDR 400 certified and lacks HDMI 2.1 inputs, whereas most of the remaining features remain somewhat similar. No pricing was announced and it's not clear if any of the products will be available outside of the PRC, where the products launch in September.

Back in the day, most computer monitors came in some kind of beige or off-white, but these days most monitors come in black, so seeing an almost entirely white monitor is rather uncommon. MSI's new G274QRFW delivers just that, with a white front bezel, white sides, a white stand and a mostly white back, except for a small RGB element which is covered in black plastic. The display panel measures 27-inches, is of the rapid IPS type and has a native resolution of 2560 x 1440. It supports refresh rates of up to 170 Hz over DisplayPort 1.4 or 144 Hz over HDMI 2.0b. MSI has also implemented a console mode that does 120 Hz at 1080p.

The panel is of the regular 8-bit + FRC type, has a 1 ms response time and a 300 NITS brightness, with a contrast ratio of 1000:1 and it supports 125 percent of the SRGB colour gamut. The G274QRFW supports AMD Freesync Premium and is G-Sync compatible, with a refresh rate range of 48 to 170 Hz. MSI has also implemented what the company calls Night Vision, which helps brighten up dark scenes in games. The monitor also features anti-flicker technology and what MSI calls Less Blue Light Pro, which reduces the blue light emitted by the display. No word on pricing or when it will be shipping was provided.

EIZO Corporation today announced the release of the FlexScan EV2781 - a 27-inch, frameless IPS monitor with 2560 x 1440 resolution equipped with a USB Type-C terminal for improving productivity and sustainability features for lessening impact on the environment. The FlexScan EV2781 joins EIZO's line of FlexScan New Standard business monitors which offers a range of sizes from 23.8 to 31.5 inches and features USB Type-C connectivity.

It is the first New Standard monitor to offer a high resolution of WQHD (2560 x 1440 pixels) in a large 27-inch screen size. This is 1.8 times more screen space than conventional Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) monitors, which provides more comfortable display of multiple windows for efficient multi-tasking. A USB Type-C connection allows users to display video, playback audio, transmit USB signals, and supply 70 watts of power to connected devices, such as laptop computers. With many modern laptops designed for portability, this convenient connectivity makes it faster and easier to connect in hot desking environments or when working away from the office.

EIZO Corporation (TSE: 6737) today announced the release of the FlexScan EV2490 - a 23.8-inch, frameless IPS monitor with Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels) equipped with USB Type-C connectivity for streamlined hot desking and remote office work. The monitor achieves exemplary ergonomics, energy-savings, and sustainability to lessen impact on the environment.

The FlexScan EV2490 is the sister model to the 27-inch FlexScan EV2795 (2560 x 1440 pixels) and 24.1-inch EV2495 (1920 x 1200 pixels), from the FlexScan Premium line of business monitors. The EV2490's 23.8-inch, Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels) panel provides an option for users looking for a compact and versatile solution that includes the added value features of EIZO's Premium business monitor lineup.

Dell has launched a pair of very similar looking 32-inch gaming monitors, but looks can be deceiving as they say. The two models are the G3223Q and G3223D, with the G3223Q sporting a 4K 144 Hz Fast IPS panel, with the G3223D also using a Fast IPS panel, but dropping the resolution to 2560 x 1440 while upping the refresh rate to 165 Hz. The G3223D is only rated for HDR 400, while the G3223Q gets HDR 600 support, although both appear to be edge-lit panels. Other common features include a 1 ms response time (grey-to-grey), a contrast ratio of 1000:1 and a 95 percent DCI-P3 colour gamut.

Both monitors support AMD FreeSync, but the G3223D is also NVIDIA G-Sync certified. As far as connectivity goes, the G3223D offers a pair of HDMI 2.0 ports, a DP 1.4 port, a USB-C port with DP-Alt mode and 15 W power delivery, as well as two downstreams USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) ports and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. The G3223Q on the other hand has a pair of HDMI 2.1 ports, one DP 1.4 port, a USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) Type-B port, as well as two downstreams USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports and a headphone jack. Both displays come with stands that support height, swivel and tilt adjustment. Dell is asking for US$719.99 for the G3223D, which is available from today in most markets and US$1,099.99 for the G3223Q which will be available at the end of this month in most markets.
