OLED gaming monitors have arrived to kick TVs off your desk

Sean Hollister thinks that giant TVs don't belong on computers. They deliver near- perfect picture quality at a similar price to high-end gaming monitors, which is why a lot of gaming players use them as monitors. It's hard to blame them, but they're putting up with lackluster stands, TV-focused interface, and no DisplayPort, a staple for super-fast PC gaming It would be nice to get rid of most of the cons altogether. Better alternatives exist.

At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, many companies announced models that use the flat 27 and curved 45 inch panels. All of the ports you would need for proper PC gaming are included in the monitors. The response time is.03-millisecond. The panels that are being released are similar to the ones that were released last year, as well as some more experimental designs.

Both the panels and the monitors are made by SAMSUNG. The QD-OLED tech first arrived inside of Alienware's AW3423DW monitor last year, delivering slightly brighter performance than traditional OLED panels, but that won't be the last we see of it. A 49-inch ultrawide with the unwieldy name, the Odyssey G95SC, will be given to us along with a 34 inch Odyssey G8OLED. I am still waiting for that Ark.

The world of gaming monitors is still in its infancy, but companies are having a lot of fun with it. What are you doing if your company isn't here?

I lost count of all the monitors that were announced during the show. Things are hard to find in non-OLED monitors. It is possible to combine high-end gaming monitor features with things like precise, per-pixel brightness control, unparalleled responsiveness and wide viewing angles.

They aren't accessible in terms of prices. The models start at over a thousand dollars. If you order one now, it will arrive at your door in less than a day. If you want to trust a company that doesn't have the best track record for releasing products on time, Dough will offer a 27 inch model for $649.

The bigger the price, the higher it goes. The Ultragear is a curved 45 inch screen. Corsair's similarly sized Xeneon Flex that you can manually flex between flat or curved will cost $1,999. I think the big 49-inch Odyssey G95SC will sell for between $3,000 and $4,000.

I don't think they're out of place for what you're getting These monitors are within the range that expensive non-OLED models have occupied for a long time. One of the biggest decisions that a video game player will have to make is between a bigger TV with a slower refresh rate and smaller monitors. For instance, if you look for a 42 inch C2 4K TV, you can find it for around $1,000, compared to a similarly priced 27 inch monitor. tradeoffs are made in both directions

The good news for video game players is that there are more companies making TVs in the US than there are in Japan. I hope that prices eventually go into a more reasonable point.

Let's be excited and set price aside. The devices are being used for gaming. The improvements made on the TV side of the business have trickled down, and these monitors have a lot of specifications that speak to the gaming community.

I thought I would be saying this a few months ago, but I will be checking out all of the monitors that I think will matter most. I am sure that some of them will be better buys than others, and it beats only having TVs to choose from.
