CES 2024 has had a roaring start, with many companies coming out the gate with a bunch of cool new tech, and now Hewlett Packard (HP) has joined the party with a world's first gaming monitor.

HP officially unveiled the Omen Transcend 32, a 32-inch QD-OLED gaming monitor that features a 3840 x 2160 (4K/UHD) resolution, a 240Hz refresh rate, 0.3ms response time, 99% DCI-P3 color coverage, VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification, and a peak brightness of up to 1,000 nits. HP is aiming the Omen Transcend 32 at both content creators and gamers as the new monitor comes with KVM switchable inputs that enable the user to seamlessly switch between devices, drag and drop files across devices, and more.

The press release on the HP website states the Omen Transcend 32 is the "world's first gaming monitor with independent switchable USB Ports," while also being the "world's first OLED gaming monitor with 140W USB-C power delivery." Furthermore, HP writes that VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 provides up to 50x greater dynamic range and 4x improvement in rise time compared to DisplayHDR 1000.

TCL showcased a new pro-level tablet at CES 2024, and while it might not get as much attention as tablets from Samsung or Apple, it's attempting to catch some eyes with its attempt at capturing two markets in one device.

The new offering from TCL is the new NXTPAPER tablets, which arrive in both 14-inch and 10-inch models and are designed to bridge the gap between e-readers and tablets. The NXTPAPER 14 Pro's display features a VersaView interface, which allows users to quickly switch between a black-and-white reader mode and a standard tablet view. As for specs, the 14-inch model features a 2,880 x 1,800 resolution, NXTPAPER 3.0 display tech, which converts the display into a paper-like reading surface, and more.

TCL writes that its new NXTPAPER series filters out 61% of blue light, making the overall experience on the new tablets much easier for users' eyes. The latest iteration of tablets reaches 700 nits on the 14-inch model, and it also comes with a Circularly Polarized Light (CPL) screen, which makes reading in the light much easier. In tablet mode, the NXTPAPER 14 Pro can reach up to a 120Hz refresh rate.

Dell has unveiled two new gaming monitors under its Alienware brand at CES 2024, both of which the company claims are world firsts.

First up is the Alienware 32 4K QD-OLED Gaming Monitor (AW3225QF), a 32-inch 4K QD-OLED gaming monitor that comes with Dolby Vision HDR for improved color and contrast, a native 240Hz refresh rate, 0.03ms GtG response time, VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400, NVIDIA G-Sync, VESA Adaptive Sync, DCI-P3 99% color coverage, and a 1700R curvature. As for connectivity, the AW3225QF features an HDMI 2.1 port, an adjustable stand, and a three-year warranty covering OLED burn-in.

"World's first 4K QD-OLED gaming monitor1 with Dolby Vision® HDR designed for you to see every detail in astounding color and contrast," reads the Dell press release

Some truly impressive high refresh-rate displays have been announced and shown at CES 2024, like the new Alienware AW3225QF, one of the world's first 240Hz 4K OLED gaming monitors.

And with the very best displays featuring NVIDIA G-SYNC, G-SYNC ULTIMATE, and G-SYNC Compatible VRR technology, NVIDIA is announcing the latest evolution of its cutting-edge variable refresh rate tech - G-SYNC Pulsar.

NVIDIA is calling G-SYNC Pulsar the next evolution of Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) technology thanks to adding variable frequency strobing to improve motion clarity dramatically. With G-SYNC Pulsar off, a fast-moving image can look blurry even on a high refresh-rate display. With G-SYNC Pular enabled, that image is now crisp and clear, boosting the "effective motion clarity to over 1000Hz."

The Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) has announced the latest update to DisplayPort, with the introduction of version 2.1a.

The new DisplayPort 2.1a update replaces the VESA-certified DP40 ultra-high-bit-rate (UHBR) cable specification with a new VESA-certified DP54 UHBR cable specification that enables up to four-lane UBHR13.5 link rate support, with a maximum throughput of 54Gbps over a two-meter passive cable.

This means that the new DisplayPort 2.1a update doubles the passive cable length of UHBR13.5 GPU-to-display connections, something that was previously only possible through a DP80 UHBR cable, which provides users with greater flexibility on their gaming or workstation setup.

Acer has four more additions to its already extensive line of Predator gaming monitors, with the company unveiling the Predator Z57, Predator X34 V3, Predator X39, and Predator X34 X.

First up, we have the Predator Z57, the goliath of the four as it measures at 57-inches with a resolution of 7680 x 2160 (DUHD), a refresh rate of 120Hz, a 2304-zone Mini LED technology for intense picture quality, 1000R curvature designed to consume the user's field of view, top-of-the-line VESA Display HDR 1000 certification, two HDMI 2.1 ports, DisplayPort 1.4, and a wide DCI-P3 98% color gamut.

MSI has launched a fleet of new QD-OLED gaming monitors for CES 2024, with this fleet of new gaming monitors covering various sizes all the way up to 49 inches.

MSI is no stranger to the gaming monitor market, making some of the most affordable displays available to gamers. Now, the company is diving head-first into OLED, specifically QD-OLED, with a range of new displays that push refresh rates far beyond 120Hz. At the top of the pile of new gaming monitors, we have the MPG 491CQP QD, a 49-inch 5,120 x 1,440 resolution, 0.03 GTG response time, a 144Hz refresh rate, 250 nits typical brightness, 1x DisplayPort 1.4, 2x HDMI 2.1, 1x USB Type-C 90W PD port, VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 and more.

Moving on to the smaller variant we have the MPG 321URX / 271QRX. These two monitors are the same except for their size and refresh rate. The 321URX is a 32-inch display that features a 240hz refresh rate, while the 271QRX features a 360Hz refresh rate. Both the 271QRX and the 321URX have all the same connectivity and color capabilities as the 49-inch 491CQP.

Samsung has just announced its new Neo QLED 8K flagship TV, packing the company's latest and most innovative TV processor yet: NQ8 AI Gen3.

The new Samsung Neo QLED 8K TV uses its new neural processing unit (NPU) that's twice as fast as the previous generation chip, with the number of neural networks increasing 8x from 64 to 512, allowing the new flagship Neo QLED 8K TV to display every single pixel in crisp detail.

Samsung's new flagship QN900D comes in at up to 85 inches, ensuring native 8K and even 4K content upscaled using the new AI processor, look amazing. It's the first TV on the market with a variable refresh rate of up to 240Hz at 4K, which is going to be perfect for gamers with large pockets. I'd love to see the QN800D with 8K content, and 4K @ 240Hz on a huge 85-inch panel. Very, very nice to see.
