MSI has confirmed its upcoming MPG 322URX 4K 240Hz QD-OLED gaming monitor supports the DisplayPort 2.1a UHBR20 standard, offering full DP bandwidth.

The new 32-inch 4K 240Hz QD-OLED gaming monitor won't be a huge upgrade over the 2024 model, but the MPG 322URX will feature DisplayPort 2.1a with the full UHBRR20 mode, offering a huge 80Gbps of bandwidth. We've seen multiple DisplayPort 2.1 monitors, but they were either rUHBR10 or UHBR13.5.

MSI's new MPG 322URX QD-OLED gaming monitor also features higher Power Delivery through USB-C, with up to 98W of power (up from 90W). This means the monitor will be able to handle devices with more power being drawn over the USB-C connector, including smartphones, laptops, and more.

Samsung is reportedly prepping to launch the world's first 27-inch OLED display with a blisteringly fast 500 Hz refresh rate. The 1440p display and QD-OLED panel would surpass the current maximum refresh rate of 480 Hz, as seen in LG's UltraGear 27GX790A-B and ASUS's ROG Swift PG27AQDP.

Going from 480 Hz to 500 Hz might not seem like a massive jump, but it's an important and notable milestone nonetheless. Samsung's QD-OLED panels, which combine Quantum Dot and OLED technologies, deliver exceptional color accuracy and contrast compared to standard LCDs. A wide range of brands adopt the company's panels, so we could see several 500 Hz OLED displays hit the market in 2025.

According to the report, this new 500 Hz panel is in the final stages of development. The first gaming monitors to feature it are expected in the first half of the year, so we might see it in action at CES 2025.

MSI's powerhouse MAG 321UPX QD-OLED gaming monitor is enjoying some Black Friday discount, with 11% off of the 32-inch 4K 240Hz QD-OLED monitor, bringing its price down to $799 at Amazon.

If you've got the GPU power to handle 4K 240FPS gaming -- NVIDIA's flagship GeForce RTX 4090 would be perfect, or the RTX 4080 or RTX 4080 SUPER -- or want to prepare yourself for the next-generation GeForce RTX 50 series (especially the new RTX 5090) then the MSI MAG 321UPX QD-OLED could be your next purchase.

32-inch 4K QD-OLED panel at 240Hz with 0.03ms response time and OLED Care 2.0, now priced at $799.

GIGABYTE has just launched two new QD-OLED gaming monitors, with a 32-inch 4K 165Hz QD-OLED monitor and a 27-inch 1440p 240Hz QD-OLED monitor. Check them out:

The new GIGABYTE MO32U features a 31.5-inch QD-OLED panel with a native 4K resolution (3840 x 2160) at a very nice 165Hz refresh rate, with Samsung providing its in-house QD-OLED technology to GIGABYTE for both of its new monitors.

The new MO32U and its 31.5-inch 4K 165Hz QD-OLED panel features 99% DCI-P3 color coverage, support for DisplayHDR 4000 True Black with peak brightness of up to 1000 nits. GIGABYTE says that its new MO32U gaming monitor features VESA ClearMR 9000 certification in HDR mode, while in SDR mode this drops to a lower brightness of 250 nits.

LG has just announced its new UltraGear OLED gaming monitor with a 1440p resolution and blistering 480Hz refresh rate, priced at $999.

The new LG UltraGear OLED GX7 (model 27GX790A) features a 27-inch WOLED panel with a native 2560 x 1440 resolution (1440p) and an ultra-fast 480Hz refresh rate, with a 0.03ms GTG response time, making it the fastest of any QHD OLED gaming monitors.

LG is using its in-house WOLED panel technology here, using a white OLED light source with color filters that produces accurate RGB colors and "impressive screen brightness". LG's new UltraGear OLED GX7 gaming monitor has both VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification and the highest VESA ClearMR tier.

AOC has just unveiled its new AGON PRO AG276FK esports gaming monitor, with a 27-inch Fast IPS panel and native 1080p resolution, joined by an insane 520Hz refresh rate with a 0.5ms response time (which isn't bad considering this isn't an OLED panel).

The new AOC AGON PRO AG276FK esports gaming monitor features a 27-inch Fast IPS panel that is bigger than its siblings in the AG246FK and AG256FS, but it has a competitive edge: the delicious 520Hz refresh rate. AOC isn't just sprinkling in the 520Hz refresh rate, but also a 0.5ms GtG response time for lighting-quick gaming.

AOC is also cooking when it comes to reducing ghosting and motion blur, with the introduction of Motion Blur Reduction and MBR Sync technologies that enhance motion clarity, which is a key part for competitive gamers. AOC says that in games like Counter-Strike 2 and Valorant, the PRO AG276FK can deliver 1 frame every 1.92 milliseconds that makes tracking moving targets even easier. There's also the Low Input Lag Mode, which bypasses unnecessary image processing on the AGON PRO AG276FK esports gaming monitor.

LG has been working on Stretchable displays for years, and they're exactly what you're imagining right now - a display that can twist, turn, bend, and expand. Stretchable displays are thin and lightweight, so they're designed to adhere to non-flat and curved surfaces, including clothing and skin. LG believes they'll be widely used in various industries - like wearables and fashion - once they hit mass market production.

LG demonstrated its latest Stretchable display prototype this month at the LG Science Park in Seoul. The 12-inch display was stretched and expanded to 18 inches - a 50% increase and a massive improvement over the 20% stretchability of the first prototype from 2022.

With a high-resolution pixel density of 100 PPI, full RGB color, and a micro-LED light source, LG confirmed that the display could be stretched over 10,000 times and still maintain the same image quality - even when exposed to low or high-temperature environments.

At the end of last month, Apple insider and Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman teased that Apple is working on a new device designed to add some intelligence to your home.

According to Gurman, the new smart home device will blend an iPad and a HomePod, and is described as a "smart home screen." The new device will have touchscreen capabilities and be tuned to enable users to control various applications from one device, making the smart home screen a proverbial command station for all things "smart" in a user's home.

Additionally, the new smart home device will be able to complete tasks on its own through Apple Intelligence, which, according to Gurman, will be the main feature Apple will use to sell the upcoming product. As for what it will look like, Gurman says he has heard it's much smaller than what is probably being anticipated by those interested as the new product is approximately the size of two stacked iPhones in a horizontal orientation or about a 6-inch screen, but in a square shape.

MSI's new MPG 491CQPX QD-OLED gaming monitor has launched, a huge new 49-inch super ultrawide QD-OLED gaming monitor with a native 5120 x 1440 resolution and super-smooth 240Hz refresh rate.

The company launched the MPG 491CQP QD-OLED gaming monitor earlier this year, but the new MPG 491CQPX (that "X" is the differentiator) with the Dual QHD QD-OLED panel essentially dual 2K monitors side-by-side with a monster 5120 x 1440 resolution. The earlier model (MPG 491CQP) had a 144Hz refresh rate, but the newer MPG 491CQPX has a faster 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms response time.

MSI's new MPG 491CQPX QD-OLED gaming monitor also packs DisplayHDR True Black 400 and VESA ClearMR 13000 certifications, as well as MSI's in-house OLED Care 2.0 technology which should reduce (but not totally prevent) OLED burn-in. The company is also offering a 3-year burn-in warranty, which isn't a bad deal.

Australian tech company espresso Displays focuses on creating high-quality, versatile, and stylish external displays. Its latest product, the espresso Display 15 and Stand+, is a more affordable 1080p (FHD) option for laptop users, mini PC users, and those with gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck and ROG Ally.

With the bundle available for $299 USD, the espresso Display 15 features the same high-grade premium aluminum design and robust build of the company's previous products. It also features the latest magnetic Stand+, allowing easy configuration and orientation above or beside a laptop for that on-the-go second-screen experience.

The 15.6-inch LCD screen features a Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution, 300 nits of brightness, 99% SRGB color accuracy, a 1000:1 contrast ratio, and two USB-C ports for input and power. The only thing missing, and something that has helped bring the cost down, are the touch-screen features found in other espresso Displays.
