AOC includes NVIDIA G-SYNC ULTIMATE and NVIDIA Reflex support, meaning you've got some great tech specs from AOC as well as the G-SYNC module taking care of the rest.

Acer revealed a slew of new products at CES 2022 this week, with multiple gaming monitors -- a new 43-inch 4K 138Hz OLED gaming monitor -- and the new Predator X32 FP and X32 gaming monitors.

The new Acer Predator X32 FP gaming monitor rocks a 32-inch Mini-LED display with a native 4K resolution and up to 165Hz refresh rate over DisplayPort 1.4 in OC mode, while in stock mode the Predator X32 FP runs at 4K 160Hz. We have VESA DisplayHDR 1000 support, 1ms response time (G-t-G), 4 x HDMI 2.1 ports, 1 x DP 1.4, a USB 3.0 hub (4 ports), and 3.5mm audio jacks.

There's VESA wall mounting on the Acer Predator X32 FP gaming monitor, as well as dual 7W speakers. There's also the non-FP model, with the Acer Predator X32 being absolutely identical -- sans the HDMI 2.1 connector -- I don't know why there are two separate monitors... but whatevs.

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.

The new Acer Predator CG48 gaming monitor has HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 connectivity, which means you can hook up your gaming PC or next-gen Sony PlayStation 5 or Microsoft Xbox Series X/S consoles up to the Predator CG48. 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. Acer will have its huge, and I'm sure very beautiful new OLED-based Predator CG48 gaming monitor in Q3 2022 starting at $2499.

Samsung had something truly different to show off at CES 2022 this year, with its new 55-inch Odyssey Ark monitor capable of being rotated into a giant portrait display. Check it out:

Inside, Samsung is using a Quantum Dot Mini-LED display with the height-adjustable stand cable of pivot and tilt adjustment as well, while Samsung says that its multiview options "allow users to adjust Odyssey Ark exactly how they want it with a totally adaptable screen size to fit the game or the program without compromising its 4K display and bright, colorful images. The monitor also features a wireless, dial controller to manage lighting and the interface".

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.

ASUS has announced a new super-high-end ROG Swift PG32UQXE gaming monitor, which offers a beautiful Mini-LED panel, and native 4K resolution at a blistering 160Hz refresh rate.

Yeah, 4K 160FPS on a single DisplayPort 1.4 cable with DSC (Display Stream Compression) that ASUS has been utilizing on its highest-end ROG Swift gaming monitors for a while now. 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.

ASUS has announced a bunch of new gaming monitors at CES 2022, with not one but two new flagship ROG Swift OLED gaming monitors in 42-inch and 48-inch sizes.

The two new ASUS ROG Swift OLED gaming displays have native 4K resolutions, with true 10-bit color that -- along with the beautiful OLED panel -- will give you super-deep blacks and super-bright and colorful highlights. ASUS is also tweaking colors and factory calibrating the new ROG Swift OLED gaming monitors out of the box.

ASUS has two HDMI 2.1 ports that will handle next-gen Sony PlayStation 5 and Microsoft Xbox Series X/S consoles, as well as high-end GPUs with NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 30 series, and AMD's Radeon RX 6000 series graphics cards. ASUS is doing things one better, with the ROG Swift OLED gaming displays including fixed-rate link (FRL) technology -- unlocking the HDMI 2.1 bandwidth up to its max 48Gbps -- alongside 2 x HDMI 2.0 ports, 1 x DisplayPort 1.4 port, and a USB hub.

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.
