MSI, the world's leading manufacturer of true gaming hardware, is proudly expanding the hardware possibilities for all gamers. While OLED panels have become the preferred choice for high-end gaming, the OLED burn-in issue has consistently been a major concern for all users. MSI is proud to introduce an exceptional solution that effectively addresses the dreaded OLED problem.

The world's first DisplayPort 2.1a (UHBR20) 27" 4K 240 Hz QD-OLED monitor, the MPG 272URX QD-OLED, is equipped with a 5-layer tandem OLED panel featuring the EL Gen 3 technology. This new material composition improves efficiency up to 30%. This monitor offers stunning clarity with 166 PPI, which enhances text sharpness and significantly reduces color fringing, setting a new standard for daily visuals. Recognized for its design and innovation, it has earned the CES 2025 Innovation Award. ith G-SYNC Compatible support, the monitor delivers smoother, tear-free gaming with reduced lag and fully compatibility with future hardware. This monitor is also perfect for all AAA game titles, ensuring an exceptional gaming experience with flawless performance and visuals.

As CES 2025 approaches, a surfeit of OEMs are introducing new gaming displays with innovative new features. MSI clearly does not wish to be left out either, hitting the scene with the MAG 321CUPDF. The 31.5-inch curved monitor also happens to the first of its kind to sport dual-mode functionality, which basically means the monitor can switch between high-refresh rate and high-resolution modes.

To be precise, the MSI MAG 321CUPDF supports 4K at 160 Hz, and 1080p at a maximum of 320 Hz. This allows the monitor to be an excellent fit for fast-paced gaming, as well as visually immersive titles which can take advantage of the added visual fidelity. If MSI's claims are anything to go by, the monitor will also sport decent color reproduction capabilities, thanks to its 97% coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut.

Sony has today added to its INZONE gaming gear range with the INZONE M10S - a 27-inch OLED gaming monitor that is changing the game with super high 480 Hz refresh rate, 0.03 ms response time and QHD resolution. Co-developed with leading esports team Fnatic, the INZONE M10S is designed to be tournament ready thanks to a 24.5-inch playing mode and new FPS Pro modes.

Sony is also introducing the INZONE M9 II - an update to its 4K HDR gaming monitor with backlight scanning added to improve motion clarity.

Acer today announced the expansion of its Predator gaming monitor line with two new 27-inch models that promise to deliver exceptional speed and stunning visuals for enjoying the latest titles in their full glory. Both monitors bring cutting-edge technology and innovation to the forefront, catering to the needs of gamers who demand only the best performance.

Equipped with a WQHD, 360 Hz panel, and the new NVIDIA G-SYNC Pulsar technology, the Predator XB273U F5 is a gaming powerhouse and is certain to awe even the most demanding players with smooth and dynamic frames. The Predator XB273K V5 comes with a 4K UHD resolution display with 160 Hz refresh rate, and AMD FreeSync Premium technology to showcase crisp details and motion for enjoying games in stunning clarity. With Dynamic Frequency and Resolution (DFR) technology, users can opt to switch to FHD resolution at 320 Hz to tailor the gaming experience based on their preference.

There appear to be an ever increasing amount of gaming monitors on the market these days and the latest addition from Gigabyte is using a 4K SuperSpeed IPS panel. The Gigabyte M27UA sports a 27-inch display as the name suggests and it should be a typical 8-bit + FRC panel with a 95 percent coverage of the DCI-P3 colour space, a 400 cd/m² typical brightness and a 5 ms grey to grey response time. The M27UA also offers a 160 Hz refresh rate which is in line with the best IPS gaming monitors out there and it's AMD FreeSync Premium certified. On the software side of things we find typical Gigabyte inclusions like Aim Stabilizer Sync, Black Equalizer 2.0, built in cross hairs, night vision and an FPS counter, as well as Gigabyte's OSD Sidekick which allows you to adjust the monitor settings from an app in Windows.

Gigabyte has equipped the M27UA with two HDMI 2.1 ports, one DisplayPort 1.4, a USB Type-C with DP Alt mode support and USB PD at 18 W (no, that's not a typo). The Type-C port together with one USB 3.2 Type-B port and three USB 3.2 Type-A ports enable KVM functionality—there's even a dedicated KVM button at the back of the monitor. A headphone jack rounds off the connectivity options and there's also a pair of built in 3 Watt speakers. In addition to KVM, there's also support for Picture in Picture and Picture by Picture. The supplied stand offers height and tilt adjustment, but not swivel or pivot. One upside of this monitor is the relatively low power consumption of 34 Watts. There's no word on availability or pricing from the company.

In addition to its range of QD-OLED monitors, MSI was showing a pair of more traditional gaming monitors at Computex. The first one is the MPG 321CUPF which is built around a dual-mode VA panel, which should be one of the first of its kind. It can do either 4K at 160 Hz or 1080p at 320 Hz, both with a 0.5 ms response time. The panel has a 1500R curvature, but somewhat disappointingly, it's only DisplayHDR 400 certified, suggesting it's an edge lit display. It has a pair of HDMI 2.1 inputs, one DP 1.4, one USB Type-C with DP Alt-mode and 15 Watts of USB PD charging and a headphone jack. It also has a console mode which is a 120 Hz 1080p or 4K mode for consoles. According to TFTCentral, it will retail for US$500, but there's currently no fixed launch date.

The next model on display is the MAG 274URFW which is a 27-inch Rapid IPS panel, also with 4K resolution and a 160 Hz refresh rate and a 0.5 ms response time. Connectivity and overall features remains identical to the MPG 321CUPF, but MSI has also thrown in AMD FreeSync Premium here, something that the company hasn't listed as a feature on any of the other models it was showing at Computex. No word on pricing on availability on this model, but as per the picture below, the MAG 274URFW will be avilable in white. MSI also announced some productivity monitors, all of which come with at least a 100 Hz refresh rate, which is refreshing to see (pun intended), since most productivity monitors tend to be stuck at 60 or at best 75 Hz.

This might be the gaming monitor some of you have been waiting for, as Cooler Master has pulled out all the stops with its GP57ZS monitor that the company was showing at Computex. Apart from being a massive 57-inches, the monitor offers dual 4K resolution, or 7680 x 2160 pixels, which are lit up by a 2304-zone Mini LED backlight. We've seen similar displays from both Samsung and Acer. Cooler Master is clearly using the same VA panel as the previously mentioned companies and you also get the same 1000R curvature here, which means the GP57ZS isn't going to be for everyone. Cooler Master didn't provide any refresh rate details, nor the types of inputs that will be on offer.

In addition to this, Cooler Master also showed off a pair of new 27-inch models, both sporting a 2560 x 1440 resolution. The cheaper GM27QP gets a 1500R curved 160 Hz VA panel and HDR400 support, as well as a DP 1.4 and two HDMI 2.0 inputs. It also gets to make do with basic Adaptive Sync VRR, but it does have gaming features like crosshair, an FPS counter and black stabilisation. The more premium GP27QP on the other hand gets a flat display panel of unknown type with a 240 Hz refresh rate, which is illuminated by an 1152 zone Mini LED backlight. Typical brightness is 350 nits and the contrast ratio is 2500:1, but the display is also HDR1000 certified. Connectivity is seriously upgraded here with two DP 1.4 and two HDMI 2.1 inputs, as well as a USB Type-C input that also delivers 96 Watts of USB PD power. In addition to this, there's also a USB Type-B input and three USB Type-A outputs. For some reason it seems like Cooler Master has stuck with Adaptive Sync on this model too, but this model does at least gain support for Picture-in-Picture and Picture-by-Picture support.

MSI today introduced the MAG 274UPF E2, a 27-inch monitor offering 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160 pixels) resolution, and a high refresh-rate thanks to its Rapid IPS panel. From the looks of it, this is a "lite" variant of the MPG 274URF that the company unveiled earlier this week, since the two appear to feature the same body design, and mostly the same specs sheet, with the exception of Quantum Dot and USB-C PD single cable input for the MPG display.

The supposedly more affordable MAG 274UPF E2 still gives you 4K Ultra HD with an impressive 160 Hz refresh-rate, and 0.5 ms (GTG) response time, VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification, VESA Adaptive Sync support, 178° viewing angles, and wide color gamut with its 10 bpc (1.07 billion colors) palette. Display inputs are similar to the MPG 274URF, with a DisplayPort 1.4a (needed for 4K @ 160 Hz), two HDMI 2.1, and USB-C. Unlike with the MPG 274URF, the USB-C input on the MAC 274UPF doesn't support 65 W PD, and hence single-cable operation isn't possible, you'll need to plug in the display to its own AC source. The company didn't reveal pricing.

MSI today released the MPG 274URF QD, a high-end 27-inch gaming monitor boasting of some stellar specs. The planar, 16:9 monitor offers 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160 pixels) resolution, at 160 Hz refresh-rate, 0.5 ms (GTG) response time. In charge of things, is a Rapid IPS panel with Quantum Dot. The display supports 10 bits per cell (1.07 billion colors), and wide color gamut. Also featured are VESA Certified DisplayHDR 400, and VESA Adaptive Sync support. The monitor takes in input from DisplayPort 1.4a (needed for 4K @ 160 Hz), and HDMI 2.1. It also features a USB type-C input that can deliver 65 W, and passes through DisplayPort 1.4a, so you can run the display off a single cable. Other features include a 3-port USB hub, and stereo headset jack. The company didn't reveal pricing.

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.

TrendForce's latest research revealed that shipments of gaming monitors have seen their first decline since 2016 due to high inflation, resulting in only 19.8 million units being shipped in 2022 for a 13% YoY decline. TrendForce predicts that demand should recover in 2023 however, jumping back up to 20.8 million units—an increase of 5% YoY. This recovery will mostly be driven by three factors: First, a number of brands are replacing their 75 Hz models with 100 Hz models. Second, the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games is scheduled to take place in the third quarter, where Esports is set to be one of the competing categories. This will help drive up demand for gaming products. Lastly, China has finally begun lifting COVID restrictions, which means demand for Internet cafes should gradually recover.

TrendForce reveals that vertical alignment (VA) LCD monitors took the lion's share of the market in 2022 at 51%. This was followed by in-plane switching (IPS) LCD monitors at 43.4%, and finally twisted nematic (TN) LCD monitors accounted for 5%. However, it's worth noting that OLED gaming monitors have grown in popularity, taking 0.6% of the market share in 2022. Thanks to the diversification of OLED products, that market share is expected to grow to 1.6% in 2023. Furthermore, TrendForce predicts that IPS monitors may begin competing with VA monitors given that not only are IPS products increasing their market share but many IPS gaming monitors are seeing a continuous price reduction.

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.

ASUS has unveiled its first 32-inch ROG Strix monitor with 4K resolution in the shape of the XG32UQ. It comes with all the features you'd expect from a modern 4K display, such as HDMI 2.1 and a 120 Hz mode for consoles. It obviously also has a DP 1.4 port and supports up to 160 Hz refresh rate thanks to its Fast IPS panel. It's certified for FreeSync Premium Pro and is G-Sync Compatible, as well as having a DisplayHDR 600 certification. Oddly enough, ASUS didn't implement USB-C support, nor can the XG32UQ function as a KVM, a feature that has become pretty standard on higher-end monitors like this. It does have a USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) Type-B input and two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A outs though.

The panel meets 96 percent of the DCI-P3 and 130 percent of the sRGB colour space and the typical brightness in SDR mode is 450 cd/m². ASUS has also implemented it's game visual features and what the company calls extreme low motion blur. The panel comes factory calibrated, so the XG32UQ should be possible to use for work as well as gaming. ASUS has also taken a leaf out of Corsair's playbook by implementing a screw mount at the top of the stand, to which something like a webcam mount could be fitted. There's no word on pricing, but based on pricing for similar products, we'd hazard a guess that it'll end up around the $1000 mark.

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.
