There is a new 45 inch gaming monitor with a refresh rate of 120 frames per second. At a time when most OLED displays are still capped at 120hertz, the UltraGear 45GR95QE is the company's first curved display with a 240hertz refresh rate. The company plans to show off the monitor at the Berlin fair in September.

With a higher refresh rate, a display appears smooth and less juddery, and video games are more responsive to play. In the past it was rare to find a display with a refresh rate of over 120Hz. It was reported in May that the S95B QD-OLED TV was the first to support a 144Hz refresh rate, while the AW3423DW monitor used a QD-OLED panel.

We are seeing displays that go all the way up to 120Hz. It was reported earlier this month that the GE67 HX laptop is the world's first to feature a 480p display. Corsair announced a monitor with a high refresh rate but the fact that it can be manually bent into a curved monitor stole the show.

The UltraGear 45GR95QE has an aspect ratio of 21:9 and can display 98.5% of the DCI-P3 colors. It has a 1440p resolution, an HDMI 2.1 port with support for variable refresh rates, and more. The built-in picture-by-picture and picture-in-picture modes can be used to display content from multiple sources side-by-side.

While the refresh rates of the panels are getting better, they are still far behind the capabilities of the liquid crystal display. The first 500Hz Nvidia G-sync gaming display was announced earlier this year, and it was the first of its kind in the United States.
