Today, Lenovo announced several new products and solutions at its annual holiday product launch. The new additions to the portfolio - which include AI-tuned innovations in gaming, a groundbreaking 3D monitor, software solutions, versatile accessories, and more - are available to explore here.

Gaming on the Go: Lenovo Legion Gaming Handheld Device and Accessories Untether PC Gaming
The new Lenovo Legion Go is the company's first Windows gaming handheld device that gives gamers more freedom to game however—and wherever—they want. The Lenovo Legion Go is designed for gamers who will settle for nothing less than top-tier specs and visuals on their handheld device. Along with the new micro-OLED-equipped Lenovo Legion Glasses and new Lenovo Legion E510 7.1 RGB Gaming In-Ear Headphones, the debut of the Lenovo Legion Go is a marked expansion of the Lenovo Legion ecosystem of gaming devices, monitors, accessories, software, and services that empower gamers to immerse themselves in their games.

LG Electronics USA announced the debut of three new models to its critically acclaimed LG UltraGear gaming monitor lineup—the LG UltraGear GR93U-B (27- and 32-inch models) and the LG UltraGear GR83Q-B (27-inch model). All models are available now at LG.com and LG-authorized retailers. The LG UltraGear GR93U-B is designed for those who desire a high-resolution screen that supports a smooth gaming experience. The UHD (3840 x 2160) IPS display supports up to a 144 Hz refresh rate and a 1 ms (GtG) response time for delightfully smooth, low-latency gaming.

For those who prioritize an ultra-smooth gaming experience with virtually no lag, the LG UltraGear GR83Q-B's 27-inch QHD (2560x1440) IPS Display supports up to a 240 Hz refresh rate and a 1 ms (GtG) response time. All three new models support up to 95% of the DCI-P3 color gamut with VESA DisplayHDR 400 delivering dynamic contrast and high-fidelity color. LG's UltraGear monitors are all about creating a premium gaming experience, which is why they're NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible and AMD FreeSync Premium-certified and contain HDMI 2.1 with 4-Pole Headphone out with DTS HP:X.

Explore the possibilities of what you can create on a bigger canvas with incredible detail (218 PPI) and true color accuracy. The ViewFinity S9 is Samsung's first 5K high resolution IPS display designed for creators (5,120 x 2,880). The 27-inch display offers DCI-P3 99% color gamut and 600 nits of brightness to deliver the color saturation and detail that brings your ideas to life. You can see improved image shadow and highlight details and preserve screen color accuracy with a Matte Display that works to drastically reduces light reflections.

ViewFinity S9 is also Pantone Validated, offering authentic reproduction of more than 2,000 Pantone colors and 100 Pantone SkinTone shades on screen. To customize the display calibration for different projects, the S9 can use your smartphone to adjust settings like DCI-P3 or sRGB color space, color temperature, luminance, and gamma. Smart Calibration allows for simple and intuitive customization without the need for additional, complex calibration tools.

AGON by AOC—the world's leading gaming monitor and IT accessories brand - proudly unveils the AG276QZD - the latest addition to the AGON PRO series. This state-of-the-art 26.5" (67.3 cm) gaming monitor features an OLED panel, which delivers a sharp QHD resolution (2560x1440) at a stunning 240 Hz refresh rate and a blazingly fast 0.03 ms GtG response time. The AG276QZD offers a breathtaking infinity contrast ratio thanks to the per-pixel-illumination of the OLED panel, perfect black levels, and a wide color gamut (10-bit color depth and 98.5% DCI-P3 coverage), making it an excellent choice for gamers who appreciate both visual excellence and exceptional performance. Thanks to its striking, asymmetrical design touches with a two-tone black/space grey finish, the AG276QZD is not just an eye-catcher but already a winner of the Red Dot Design Award (2022).

The AGON PRO AG276QZD utilises an advanced OLED panel, providing an unprecedented contrast ratio compared to everyday LCD monitors (uniform backlights), and true-to-life colors with perfect blacks and wide viewing angles. The display's comparatively faster response time (0.03 ms GtG) and lower input lag as well as Adaptive-Sync support and G-Sync compatibility facilitate smoother gameplay and make every moment count in competitive gaming scenarios.

LG is something of an expert when it comes to silently launching new monitors and although its latest additions to its UltraGear range of gaming monitors are only minor variants of already existing products, it appears that we're looking at a pair of more affordable models. The 27GR93U-B and 32GR93U-B as the new models are called, measure 27 and 32-inches respectively and both offer 4K resolution and a 144 Hz refresh rate. Comparing the 27GR93U-B to the 27GN950-B, the first really obvious difference is the use of a standard IPS panel instead of a Nano IPS panel and this leads to a slight reduction in the DCI-P3 colour gamut from 98 to 95 percent.

The new models are only certified for FreeSync Premium, rather than FreeSync Premium Pro, but that appears to be the only obvious reduction in gaming features, as G-Sync compatible support, VRR, Black Stabilizer, Dynamic Action Sync, Crosshairs and the FPS counter are all present and accounted for. Both displays have two HDMI 2.1 ports, one DisplayPort 1.4 and one upstreams and two downstreams USB 3.0 ports, as well as a 4-pole 3.5 mm jack for a headset. On the plus side, these new models have slightly lower power consumption, with a typical power consumption of about 50 W for the 27-inch model and 65 W for the 32-inch model. The stand still supports tilt, height and pivot adjustment. No official pricing was announced, but we found the 27-inch model listed in Hong Kong for the equivalent of around US$560, which is around US$200 less than what the 27GN950-B retails for.

As COMPUTEX once again opens its door, MSI, the world leader in gaming, content creation, business & productivity, and AIoT solutions, is all geared up to dominate the show floor with a full slate of new lineup and its Best Choice Award honorees. "We are thrilled to be back at COMPUTEX," said Sam Chern, MSI Vice President of Marketing. "We expect to see users' tech experiences reinvented and MSI is at the forefront. Our COMPUTEX 2023 lineup showcases the ultimate fusion of breakthrough technology and everlasting aesthetics that surpasses all limits and indulges global users with the best possible experience like never before."

This year, MSI themes its booth around The Leap to Singularity, envisioning a future in which the technological singularity brings forth superintelligence to improve human lives. Among the highlights on display will be the Raider GE78 HX Smart Touchpad, Stealth 16 and Creator Z17 laptops powered by up to 13th Gen Intel Core i9 processors and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series graphics, making them powerhouses for gamers and creators alike.

Samsung Electronics today announced the global launch of its full 2023 Smart Monitor lineup. The new M8, M7 and M5 Smart Monitors (Model Name: M80C, M70C, M50C) from Samsung enable users to tailor their monitors to their unique styles and needs, as they watch, play and work.

"We are raising the bar for Smart Monitors globally with our new lineup and especially our enhanced M8 model," said Hoon Chung, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. "Within a single monitor, users can enjoy the best of entertainment and gaming, productivity, design and personalized convenience and comfort."

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.

MSI, a world leader in high-performance and innovative computing solutions, proudly announces that the Modern MD271UL monitor has won the prestigious Red Dot Award 2023 for outstanding design and innovation. The Modern MD271UL is a 27-inch 4K monitor that offers an immersive visual experience with its wide color gamut and advanced EyesErgo eye-care technology. In addition, it is tailored for efficiency and productivity with a touch of personal style.

Elegantly Crafted with Vibrancy

With a sleek & minimalist design, it meshes well with stylish home or office furniture. Unlike the typical monitor, it is an elegant decor in any living room. The frameless and minimalist designs let you express your aesthetic and define your environment. The Modern MD271UL is designed not only for working but also for personal lifestyle.

BenQ, a global leader in display technology, announced today the launch of its newest Ergo Arm series professional monitor, the PD2706UA. With a customizable ergonomic design and high-quality color performance, the PD2706UA features 4K UHD with AQCOLOR technology, 90 W USB-C for one cable connectivity, KVM with one key switch for multitasking, Display Pilot software to better facilitate screen use, and supports full flexibility through its Ergo Arm.

Designed to provide the right angle no matter the presentation or project, the PD2706UA is equipped with BenQ's uniformity technology, delivering corner-to-corner authentic color and consistent luminescence, and attentive modes, offering quick access to the smoothest workflow as well as supreme work efficiency. In addition, the PD2706UA is Mac-compatible with 95 percent display P3 industry standard color gamut to match Mac devices, HDR 400 for better brightness, color conformity and black levels, video/audio/data transmission to declutter desktops and power delivery to charge MacBook, a built-in KVM switch allowing designers to control two PCs or Macs of different operating systems (Windows or Mac OS) with only one set of keyboard and mouse with a simple switch, and high-quality color modes for work efficiency and productivity.

MSI today introduced the G2712, a 27-inch planar gaming monitor with a fast IPS panel that offers 1 ms (MPRT) response time, 170 Hz refresh-rate, and support for AMD FreeSync Premium. The monitor offers Full HD (1080p) resolution with 170 Hz refresh-rate requiring the DisplayPort 1.2a connection. The only other connection is HDMI 1.4b, which limits the refresh-rate to 120 Hz. 250 cd/m² maximum brightness, and 1100:1 static contrast ratio make for the rest of the panel specs. You get a handful of gamer-friendly features, such as genre-specific display presets, though this monitor really is best suited for e-sports titles in the FPS or MOBA/RPG genres.

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.

Shenzhen Century Joint Innovation Technology Company Ltd. (INNOCN) has been a driving force in the competitive market for smart displays for the last decade, producing some of the most elite smart monitors and computers. INNOCN, or Innovation China, is an award-winning manufacturer that has made a name for itself by developing smart displays with more unique features than competitors.

The INNOCN 27 Inch 2K QHD 144 Hz Gaming Monitor 27G1R, one of the company's most recent innovations, is a unique smart display with features that gamers, graphic designers, and other creatives will love. Due to its frameless and ultra-thin design, it can easily be placed anywhere in a home or work office. It includes a metal stand and is VESA wall mountable.

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,

The metoric rise of Hisense as a consumer electronics giant is attributable to its cost-effective smart TVs and home appliances, but with the 2023 International CES, the company stated it intention to dominate the gaming monitor and home cinema markets. The company showed off a wealth of conventional-sized and large-format gaming displays based on cutting-edge tech such as Mini-LED illuminated Fast IPS. The new G7H is a new line of planar 25-inch and 27-inch gaming monitors that feature just that—a Fast IPS panel with 576 min-LED backlit illumination diodes, 170 Hz refresh-rate with 1 ms response time, 1440p resolution, DisplayHDR 600 certification, and 97% coverage of DCI-P3, along with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro.

The U7K is technically a 43-inch TV that Hisense wants to market as a large format gaming monitor, although it does pack the entire set of the company's smart TV features. The display offers 4K Ultra HD resolution a Mini-LED illuminated Quantum Dot panel, 144 Hz refresh-rate, Dolby Vision Atmos, and 1,000 nits maximum brightness. Hisense also unveiled its Laser TV home projectors ranging for projection sizes ranging between 65-inch to 150-inch, featuring a triple-laser light source, 107% BT.2020 coverage, 1,600 ANSI lumens brightness, 4K Ultra HD native resolution, and Dolby Atmos. Its in-built 2.1 speaker set has been sourced from JBL by Harman. The projector supports both Chromecast (in-built), and Apple AirPlay.

PC display and projection major BenQ showed off three of its latest Mobiuz gaming monitors at the 2023 International CES. The star-attraction was the Mobiuz EX480UZ, a large-format 48-inch gaming display with an OLED panel. This display provides 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160 pixels) resolution with blistering fast 0.1 ms (GTG) response-time, and covers 98% of DCI-P3 with delta ≤2. It uses HDMI 2.1 inputs, and includes a powerful internal speaker-set consisting of two 5 W front-channels, and 10 W woofer. The monitor supports AMD FreeSync Pro.

The Mobiuz EX270QM is a 27-inch WQHD (2560 x 1440 pixels) monitor with a Fast-IPS panel that offers 240 Hz refresh rate, with 1 ms (GTG) response time, and 98% of DCI-P3 coverage, along with DisplayHDR 600 support. It uses a full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 input and supports AMD FreeSync Pro. Lastly, there's the Mobiuz EX270M, which is the same 27-inch size, but with lower Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution, the same 240 Hz refresh-rate and 1 ms response time, but with 99% sRGB coverage and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro support. This monitor packs a 2.1 speaker setup with 2.5 W front-channel speakers, and a 5 W subwoofer.

HyperX, the former gaming peripherals brand of Kingston, was acquired by PC OEM giant HP in 2021. It was only natural for HP to use the HyperX brand to ship gaming monitors at some point, as the company has a vast lineup of not just PC and professional displays, but also some gaming displays under its HP OMEN brand. The company announced the HyperX Armada brand of gaming monitors in the 25-inch and 27-inch planar category in September 2022. We spotted it at the 2023 CES. It has prominent HyperX badging, some peel-off stickers on the front bezel detailing its key gamer-friendly features; and an NVIDIA G-SYNC logo. Key specs include WQHD (1440p) resolution, 165 Hz refresh-rate, DisplayHDR 400, and a fast IPS panel with 1 ms response time. HP will probably retain the OMEN brand for ultra-premium gaming monitors, with the HyperX Armada series in the mid-range.

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.
