Anthony Garreffa | Oct 19, 2019 8:48 PM CDT

Xiaomi has just stepped into the gaming monitor market with its new Mi Surface Display, a new 34-inch UltraWide gaming monitor with native 3440x1440 resolution and 144Hz refresh rate.

Xiaomi unveils 34-inch UltraWide gaming monitor

The Chinese giant has unveiled not just one but two new Mi Surface Displays with the 34-inch model joined by a 24-inch 1080p model. The larger 21:9 UltraWide monitor has a 1500R curvature, with its 144Hz refresh rate smoothed out even more with AMD FreeSync and 4ms (GtG) response time.

Xiaomi is using super-thin bezels on its 34-inch UltraWide gaming display, with around 2mm bezels used and a stand that is has height adjustment and tilt abilities. We should hopefully find both DisplayPort and HDMI connectivity, but Xiaomi is a little skinny on the details in that department, at least for now.

The new OnePlus 55 Q1 Pro features a VA panel with slim bezels, an 8-speaker module is found running along most of the TV and slides down from behind the display and sits just below it. A nice touch from OnePlus.

OnePlus's new TV is powered by Android which means you'll have access to a bunch of different apps and services directly on the 55 Q1 Pro, as well as a voice-capable remote that has a multi-direction button, and a shortcut to Amazon Prime Video.

Sony's bus-sized 16K TV could cost up to $5.8 million

Anthony Garreffa | Sep 14, 2019 1:27 AM CDT

Sony teased it's gigantic bus-sized 16K TV earlier this year, and has now unleashed it to consumers -- uber-rich consumers, as it could cost millions of dollars.

Sony's bus-sized 16K TV could cost up to $5.8 million

LG has a cheaper 88-inch 8K OLED that 'only' costs $30,000 but if you really wanted to show off then you'll spend up to $5 million on Sony's gigantic, and superior 16K TV.

Sony is using Crystal LED technology that uses micro LED modules, each 16x8 inches at 360x360 resolution and 3 small LEDs per pixel. This allows for a very bright 1000 nits of brightness, 10 bit grayscale, superior color reproduction (140% of sRGB) and what Sony says is "spectacular" 3D.

LG's huge 88-inch 8K OLED TV available now in the US for $30,000

Anthony Garreffa | Sep 12, 2019 9:47 PM CDT

LG has announced its larger-than-life (and most wallets) 88-inch 8K OLED and 75-inch 8K LED smart TVs are available in some US retailers priced at $29,999 and $4999, respectively.

LG's huge 88-inch 8K OLED TV available now in the US for $30,000

The flagship OLED88Z9 is the largest OLED TV ever made coming in at a huge 88 inches, perfect for that 8K resolution -- it's a far cry from the smaller 75-inch 8K NanoCell TV, but those 13 inches are going to cost you another $25K. Remember the 88-inch is also a beautiful OLED panel while the 75-inch model is 'just' LED.

LG is reinforcing that it has a "true 8K" TV in that it has worked with the International Committee for Display Metrology (ICDM) to make sure its 8K TVs meet their strict minimum standards. I went into detail on that here, but a TL;DR version is that LG has a "true 8K" TV and its competitors do not.

Anthony Garreffa | Sep 12, 2019 7:42 PM CDT

GIGABYTE has just released its new AORUS CV27Q Tactical Gaming Monitor, if you couldn't already tell from the name its their new gaming display.

The new AORUS CV27Q features a 27-inch 1500R curved 8-bit VA panel offering 2560 x 1440 at 165Hz with a 1ms response time, with GIGABYTE adding that it covers 95% of the DCI-P3 color space.

One of the big bonuses here with the AORUS CV27Q Tactical Gaming Monitor is that you have AMD FreeSync HDR technology, but it is also NVIDIA G-SYNC compatible. This means you can have an NVIDIA GeForce or AMD Radeon series graphics card and still tap the adaptive refresh tech in the AORUS CV27Q.

LG's second new monitor is the UltraGear 27GL850 which is based on a Nano IPS panel, is also a 27-inch monitor, but bumps the native res up to 2560x1440. The refresh rate gets knocked down to 144Hz in the process, while retaining its G-Sync and 1ms GTG response time. Both of these monitors have HDR10 support.

Amazon wants to set Fire to your living room with new OLED TVs

Anthony Garreffa | Sep 6, 2019 6:00 AM CDT

Amazon has been pushing for its living room takeover for years now, but has just made another big stride towards that by unveiling its new OLED TV in a new partnership with Grundig.

There will be two models -- one without microphones, and another that will have far-field voice microphones built into the TV for some hands-free Alexa action. The model without the microphones will include a normal Alexa voice remote control.

Grundig will be using "last-generation" LG OLED panels in the new Amazon OLED Fire TV Edition, which will have support for both HDR10 and Dolby Vision.

LG launches world's first 'true 8K' TVs, calls the rest imposters

Anthony Garreffa | Sep 6, 2019 4:19 AM CDT

LG had two world-first acheivements at IFA 2019 this year, with the world's first 8K OLED TV and world's first 8K NanoCell TV.

LG launches world's first 'true 8K' TVs, calls the rest imposters

These new TVs both offer the insane native resolution that 8K provides at 7680 x 4320 -- 4x the pixels of 4K, and 16x the pixel count of 1080p. LG stands out from the growing crowd of 8K TVs, with the South Korean giant stating that its new 8K TVs push past the picture quality required of the Information Display Measurements Standard to "real 8K".

It gets a bit detailed, but the standard requires that resolution isn't just bound by pixel count -- but rather the neighboring pixels need to be indistinguishable from one another. This is something called the Contrast Modulation measurement, and it needs to be higher than 25% for images and 50% for text.
