Acer unveiled its new Predator CG48 gaming monitor at CES 2022, with a huge 48-inch 4K OLED panel with an interesting refresh rate of up to 138Hz -- not 120Hz, not 144Hz, but 138Hz.

There's also AMD FreeSync Premium Pro technology here, with a response time of just 0.1ms.
We've got 135,000:1 contrast ratio, HDR10 support, and 98% coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut -- all of this comes in a sleek design, better than the previous large Predator gaming monitors.

ASUS has announced a flood of new gaming monitors at CES 2022 with its new ROG Swift OLED gaming monitors in 42-inch and 48-inch sizes, but there's also a world-first 1440p 360Hz display with the introduction of the ROG Swift 360Hz PG27AQN gaming monitor.
The new ASUS ROG Swift 360Hz PG27AQN gaming monitor rocks a 27-inch 2560x1440 panel, with a blistering 360Hz at its disposal. 1440p + 360Hz is just where it starts: as ASUS made three key innovations in its LCD technology to make sure it is the very fastest gaming monitor that ASUS has ever made.
ASUS includes 3 x HDMI 2.0 ports, and 1 x DisplayPort 1.4 connector -- another high-end ASUS gaming monitor without HDMI 2.1, which just seems so strange -- especially now that we're in 2022 and this bad boy will sell this year, and well into the coming years... all without HDMI 2.1 connectivity.

The new ROG Swift PG32UQXE gaming monitor can drive 4K 160Hz on the PC with the right GPU, while next-gen consoles can enjoy up to 4K 120Hz with the HDMI 2.1 connector.
ASUS is using a Mini-LED panel on its ultra-high-end ROG Swift PG32UQXE gaming monitor, which also includes another two HDMI 2.0 ports, a built-in USB hub (which will let you use peripherals and other devices) as well as the usual ROG Swift design and stand. There's a huge 1000 nits of peak brightness, which means you're going to get near-OLED levels of quality and in some ways, better.

LG's new G2 OLED TVs: huge 83-inch, gigantic 97-inch OLED models
LG has just unveiled its new G2 series OLED TV family, with sizes ranging between 55 inches and a gigantic 97-inch version that would feel like having an IMAX OLED TV in your living room... and I want it.
LG's biggest and most bad-ass new G2 OLED is the huge 97-inch G2 OLED TV, which isn't the world's biggest -- but it is damn big -- I mean 97 inches of 4K 120Hz OLED goodness, I want it. LG is using an upgraded chassis for its new G2 series OLED with a consistent thickness across the panel -- the bottom third is thinner, ready for being attached to your wall.
Last year, the South Korean giant unveiled its OLED "Evo" family of displays but now the Evo panel will be baked into the G2 and mainstream C2 OLED TVs from LG. LG says that its new G2 OLED will have higher peak brightness over the C2, which will be done through a blend of brightness booster algorithms, and improved heat dissipation from the components inside of the TV.

Samsung asks for 'Age of Togetherness' with new Frame, Neo QLED TVs
Samsung has unveiled its latest and greatest The Frame TV, which is an even sleeker, and even more expensive TV that looks like a piece of art in your room... if you can afford it.
The company lets you show off your own videos and photos, as well as show off customized metal and wooden frames so that it truly does look like a painting on your wall. The latest version of Samsung's The Frame TV has a new anti-reflective screen that will look more realistic than previous Frame TVs.
Samsung says that the new matte finish on The Frame 2022 TVs makes the screen have a "lifelike paper and canvas texture" that has been "engineered to maximise light scattering surface irregularities" even if they're in a bright room. I think you'd need to see the anti-reflective screen on the new Frame TV to really understand what Samsung has in its expensive boutique TVs.

Samsung's new TV remote recharges battery from your Wi-Fi radio waves
Samsung has just unveiled its new 2022 series TVs and they come with new Eco Remotes that are capable of drawing power from not just the sun... but from radio waves.
Yeah, the new Samsung Eco Remotes will actually draw power from the radio waves near your house -- including your Wi-Fi router -- and other devices. Samsung says that the RF harvesting would let your TV emote control be fully charged whether you're watching TV all day and night and click the remote 5 trillion times I guess... because I replace the batteries in my remote, like, every YEAR.
The South Korean giant is making the new Eco Remote with a "recycled material design" -- so don't worry, the environment is being looked after -- while power is being harvested through your body, to your remote. The new remote will have a minimalistic design, pack a built-in microphone for voice control, and the usual shortcuts for apps and services like Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, and Samsung TV Plus.
