Dell kicked off CES 2024 early by announcing the world's first 40-inch 5K monitor certified for five-star eye comfort, along with another ultrawide. Both of which are on display at CES 2024.

The first monitor to dive into is the 40-inch UltraSharp 40 Curved Thunderbolt Hub Monitor, or the U4025QW. This monitor Dell writes is a world's first with its specifications, coming with IPS Black Panel technology for improved color contrast, a 5120 x 2160 resolution, 99% of the DCI-P3 color space, five-star TUV Rheinland Eye Comfort certification, Thunderbolt 4 connection with up to 140W power delivery, a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port, DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1, in-built color adjustment software, and a 120Hz refresh rate.

The other ultrawide Dell announced is the U3425WE, a 34-inch IPS Black panel with a 3440 x 1440 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. This display has a 10-bit color depth, which enables it to cover 100% of the sRGB and 99% of the DCI-P3 gamuts. Additionally, the U3425WE features a Thunderbolt 4 port with 90W power delivery, TUV Rheinland Eye Comfort certification, iMST, which allows for the display to be split into two displays from one PC source, Network KVM, and a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port.

CES 2024 has kicked off, and we have already been blessed with a range of incredible new technologies worth discussing.

First up, we have the new offering from Acer. Introducing the Predator SpatialLabs View 27 gaming monitor, a new 3D gaming monitor from Acer that enables gamers to dive deeper into the expanding world of 3D gaming. Acer explains via a press release that the View 27 is a 27-inch display that comes with a second virtual camera, enabling "greater depth and geometry in every scene" and more visual customization for gamers.

So, what are the other specifications? Acer didn't provide a full specs sheet in its press release, but it does reveal the View 27 is capable of switching between 2D and 3D visuals. Additionally, the company states its newest 3D gaming monitor offering will come with a 160Hz refresh rate, 400 nits brightness, AMD FreeSync and G-Sync technology, and a price tag of $1,999.

CES 2024 has seemingly already started, with many companies announcing what they will be officially showcasing at the highly anticipated tech event.

ASRock has joined the likes of Samsung, LG, and many other companies in teasing what they will be unveiling at the show, with the Taiwanese manufacturer announcing today it will be showcasing new gaming monitors that can reach up to 520Hz. The two new gaming monitors are ultra-fast LCD displays, with one reaching a refresh rate of 520Hz and the other hitting 400Hz. Notably, the 400Hz variant supports a 1440p resolution, while the 520Hz variant is 1080p.

Both monitors are being released under ASRock's Phantom Gaming brand, and both are 27-inches. Officially called the ASRock Phantom Gaming PG27QFW2A (1440p @ 400Hz IPS) and the ASRock Phantom Gaming PG27FFX2A (1080p @ 520Hz). Unfortunately, ASRock didn't reveal any further details on each of the monitors and has since removed its press release, according to VideoCardz.

LG has started up the CES 2024 hype train nice and early with the announcement that development on its "industry first" 480Hz gaming monitor has been completed, and gamers can expect an official showcase next week.

LG Display has published a new press release stating that it has successfully completed the development of a 27-inch 1440p (QHD) 480Hz OLED gaming monitor, and it will be hosting an official showcase at CES 2024 that will open a "new era of OLEDs" featuring "ultra-high refresh rates." Notably, the 27-inch display features a resolution of 2560 x 1440 (QHD), has an insane 480Hz refresh rate, and a 0.03ms response time.

For those that don't know, OLED panels enable each individual pixel to emit light independently without a backlight unit, enabling much more vibrant colors, thinner displays, and an overall more immersive experience. LG didn't give a specific launch date for the highly anticipated gaming monitor but did write that it will be launched sometime during the first half of 2024.

VESA has just announced an update to its Adaptive-Sync Display Compliance Test Specification (Adaptive-Sync Display CTS), which is the first publicly open standard for front-of-screen performance of variable refresh rate displays.

The newly-updated VESA Adaptive-Sync Display v1.1a provides updated testing procedures and logo support for future displays with "Dual-Mode" functionality. We've already seen a bunch of them teased from the likes of ASUS, Alienware, LG, Samsung, and others... with 4K 240Hz and 1080p 480Hz "Dual-Hz" functionality.

VESA's just-announced Adaptive-Sync 1.1a standard paves the way for monitor makers and their upcoming multiple-resolution and refresh rate features because, up until now, displays weren't capable of operating at different refresh rates when the resolution was decreased. Instead, they would run at the refresh rate that was supported by the maximum resolution of the monitor. If you wanted high-performance (high res + refresh rate) and content creation (video, photo editing, and more) you had to choose between the two... not anymore.

LG has just unveiled its new 2024 OLED TV lineup, which drives things to another level, with the company outfitting its new OLED TV family with its latest AI processor, improved image quality, and so much more.

The new LG 2024 OLED TV lineup features the company's very latest AI processor, promising 4x higher AI performance, new unparalleled viewing experiences, and even more vibrant and lifelike picture quality. LG is pushing its consumer-centric approach with its "Sync to You, Open to All" vision that sees the company pushing for personalized experiences for every lifestyle, with products "accessible to all."

Inside, the new expanded OLED TV lineup for 2024 features its new cutting-edge AI-powered processor developed by LG, exclusively designed for OLED TVs. The new LG SIGNATURE OLED M4 and LG OLED G4 TVs feature a new α 11 AI processor, which the company says effectively enhances picture and audio quality. LG promises a 70% improvement in graphics performance and a 30% increase in processing speed over its predecessor.

Samsung has just teased three of its new Odyssey OLED gaming monitors ahead of CES 2024, with each of the new gaming monitors featuring anti-glare technology.

The first of which is the new Samsung Odyssey G9 (model G95SD) gaming monitor, with a huge 49-inch 32:9 aspect ratio panel with a native 5120 x 1440 resolution and 240Hz refresh rate. We've also got a 0.03ms response time, which means even the twitchiest of shooters will be sublime on this monitor.

Samsung is providing access to both of Samsung Smart TV platform and their cloud-based Gaming Hub on these displays, with a slim form factor to boot.

Portable projectors have grown in popularity recently, and it's not hard to see why. They offer an easy way to turn a space into a makeshift cinema with a 100+ inch screen to watch movies and TV shows. At CES 2024, we're likely to see many different makes and models, and one that is sure to stand out is the LG CineBeam Qube 4K. It even comes with a handle!

With a look that is reminiscent of a retro 8mm camera from the 1950s or 1960s, the compact and lightweight LG CineBeam Qube (model HU710PB) is not only stylish but a 4K projector able to project a 4K UHD (3,840 x 2,160) resolution image up to 120 inches.

With its RGB laser light source, the image quality will be stellar, too, with an impressive 450,000:1 contrast ratio and 154 percent coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut. For such a cool-looking device, which LG describes as "a stylish art object," the LG CineBeam Qube 4K's specs are enough to make me want one.

LG has teased its new MyView Smart Monitor family of displays ahead of CES 2024, with the new monitors featuring some nice tricks up their sleeves.

The upcoming LG MyView 2024 smart monitors have a similar design style to Apple's own Studio Display, with the smart monitors designed for productivity and entertainment. Inside, they feature the webOS platform, making them "smart" monitors, of course.

The South Korean electronics giant says its new MyView smart monitor features the ability for users to stream movies, TV shows, sports, music, and work remotely... all without the need for a PC. Inside, the new LG MyView 2024 smart monitors feature an LG IPS 4K display with a 60Hz refresh rate -- sorry, gamers -- and a 31.5-inch panel size.

LG has just announced it has a new family of 2024 QNED and QNED Mini-LED TVs on the way, with sizes up to an ultra-large 98-inch QNED TV.

The company says that these new 2024 QNED and QNED Mini-LED TVs will have vibrant picture quality, advanced AI-powered processing technologies, extensive personalization features, and a sophisticated design. Inside, the new LG 2024 QNED TVs feature "significantly more intelligent" with the new a8 AI processor, with up to 1.3x the AI performance over the predecessor. Not only that, but there's a 2.3x improvement in graphic performance, and 1.6x faster processing speed.

LG is using its Quantum Dot and NanoCell color technologies to power its new 2024 QNED TVs, with the company saying that we can expect crisp and vivid picture quality for hyper-realistic viewing. There's enhanced color reproduction, the authentic colors of QNED TVs heighten the visual depth for a more immersive and "three-dimensional home entertainment experience".
