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...

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...

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)...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

If you haven't shopped for a TV in a long time, you're in for a treat.

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...

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...

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...

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...
