CES 2025, the world's largest annual consumer technology trade show, kicked off in Las Vegas of America on January 7th, 2025, with more than 130,000 attendees and over 4,800 companies. As a high-performance esports equipment brand incubated by Haier Group, THUNDEROBOT showcased its comprehensive innovation capabilities in high-performance esports equipment under the theme "Powerful Esports Momentum".

At this event, THUNDEROBOT unveiled a range of flagship products encompassing esports laptops, smart glasses, monitors, desktops, and peripherals.

Additionally, the introduction of an 18-inch Hummingbird eye-care display with high refresh rates has significantly enhanced the immersive user experience. Each machine will undergo default color calibration to provide accurate color settings.

CES 2025 is in full swing, with almost every technology company on the face of the planet unveiling fresh new products. Lenovo's ThinkVision lineup has witnessed two new entrants - the P32UD-40, and the P27QD-40. The former is a 31.5-inch 4K IPS monitor with a peak refresh rate of 120 Hz, that can also drop to 24 Hz. The latter is a 27-inch IPS unit with QHD resolution, also with a variable refresh rate that can vary between 24 and 120 Hz. Both the monitors, as the branding suggests, are aimed squarely at the professional crowd, boasting 98% coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut, along with a peak dynamic contrast ratio of 3,000,000:1.

Unsurprisingly, the monitors are factory calibrated, ensuring great accuracy and commendably low Delta E values. The port selection is decent, with USB-C, HDMI 2.1, DP 1.4, along with a USB hub sporting Type-A and Type-B ports as well as a 2.5G Ethernet port. There is a built-in KVM switch as well, which is surely a welcome addition for those who can utilize it.

At CES 2025 we sneaked up on ViewSonic, as they were setting up a giant mosaic screen. The star attraction is the VG2748N, a 27-inch wireless monitor.

The monitor isn't exactly portable, it looks conventional, but has a quick-setup stand. ViewSonic will launch this one later this quarter (before April).

For portability, the company has the VG1656N, a 16-inch portable monitor that you can cast wirelessly to. It features a 16:10 aspect ratio with 1920 x 1200 resolution, and 60 Hz refresh rate.
