Another slew of glorious OLED gaming monitors has been announced ahead of CES 2025, which is undoubtedly going to be inundated with the incredible pixel technology in various forms.

ASRock has taken to its website to unveil three new OLED gaming monitors, the PGO32UFS, the PGO27QFS, and the PGO27QFV. The company's latest flagship gaming monitor is the PGO32UFS, which is a 32-inch flat WOLED panel that sports a 4K resolution and a native 240Hz refresh rate. However, the PGO32UFS is a dual-mode monitor, meaning it's capable of dropping its resolution down to 1920 x 1080p and increasing its refresh rate to 480Hz.

The idea behind this new mode, which is becoming more prominent among gaming monitor companies, is to enable a gamer to seamlessly switch between 4K (high fidelity) and 1080p (Performance). A gamer that flexes between graphically intensive, slower, RPG-like titles would want the 4K monitor for the graphics, while a competitive gamer that plays first-person-shooter games will opt for the high refresh rate display. Dual-mode monitors seek to provide the best of both worlds. Announced alongside the PGO32UFS was the PGO27QFS, a 27-inch monitor featuring a WOLED panel, a QHD resolution, and a 240Hz refresh rate.

ASRock has just unveiled its new flagship OLED gaming monitor with the introduction of the new Phantom Gaming PG32UFS, rocking a 4K resolution on a WOLED panel, with a super-smooth 240Hz refresh rate.

The new ASRock Phantom Gaming PG32UFS monitor uses a WOLED panel with a 32-inch 4K 240Hz combo of goodness, with a Dual-Mode feature that goes from 4K 240Hz to 1080p 480Hz.

The WOLED panel that ASRock uses features DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification, with the older DisplayPort 1.4 standard over some competing high-end gaming monitors using DisplayPort 2.1a.

ASUS has just unveiled its new 32-inch ProArt Display 6K PA32QCV monitor which features a stunning 6016 x 3384 resolution with 226 pixels per inch (PPI) for unparalleled image clarity, making it ideal for video editors, photographers, and AI artists. Check it out:

The company compares its new 32-inch ProArt Display 6K PA32QCV monitor with another monitor of the same size but with a native 4K resolution, the new ProArt Display 6K PA32QCV features 145% more onscreen workspace which provides a bigger canvas for professionals to work with.

The new ASUS 32-inch ProArt Display 6K PA32QCV features 98% DCI-P3 and 100% sRGB coverage, with VESA DisplayHDR 600 certification, providing true-to-life color reproduction.

ViewSonic is reportedly preparing to unveil a monster new OLED gaming monitor at CES 2025 with the introduction of a new 27-inch 1440p OLED gaming monitor with a blistering 520Hz refresh rate.

The details on the new ViewSonic 27-inch 1440p 520Hz OLED gaming monitor are coming from German outlet ComputerBase, but outside of the size, panel, resolution and refresh rate, we don't know much else. We should expect some "Dual Mode" functionality like other gaming monitors have been rolling out with lately, probably to 4K but at a lower refresh rate (240/260Hz most likely).

ViewSonic should unveil a suite of new monitors at CES 2025, including a new ColorPro monitor that will be targeted at professionals with a higher-pixel 5K resolution and Thunderbolt 4 connectivity. This is aimed at professionals who are seeking higher color accuracy for their photo and video editing workloads.

ASUS has either intentionally covertly teased an impressive upcoming gaming monitor or accidentally revealed what it plans to showcase at CES 2025 in January next year.

Gaming monitor names, while being very unattractive and difficult to remember, do typically reveal some information about the monitor. For example, the ROG Swift OLED PG32UDCM is ASUS's 4K 32-inch OLED gaming monitor. This is a good rule of thumb when shopping for monitors, as the number in the model name typically represents the size of the display. Why is that relevant? Well, reports indicate that ASUS teased the launch of new OLED gaming monitors with a post on Instagram that has since been removed.

The post poked some fun at the company's monitor naming choices and then showcased the following text: "What're we calling our newest monitor?" - "ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM." Notably, the PG27UCDM doesn't currently exist, and if the naming is anything to go by, it will be a smaller version of the PG32UCDM, which means it will be a 4K OLED gaming monitor with a 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms response time. The difference between the two displays will be pixel density, as the PG27UCDM will have a 166 PPI, ushering in incredibly crisp and sharp visual fidelity.

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.
