Porsche Design and AOC have partnered up to create a super ultra-wide gaming monitor with a crazy resolution and an awesome refresh rate.

AOC and Porsche Design are excited to unveil the AGON Pro PD49, a 49-inch curved super ultra-wide gaming monitor that comes with 5,120 x 1,440 pixels, with a juicy 240Hz refresh rate and a 0.03 response time (GtG). Notably, the PD49 supports up to 1,000 nits, is 1800R, supports VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400, and uses the same panel found in the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9, a 48.9-inch QD-OLED panel.

Since the display is OLED, it's extremely thin, only measuring 5 mm wide, and if you were wondering about connectivity, AOC and Porsche Design have equipped it with everything you would need. There are two HDMI 2.1 inputs, two DisplayPort 1.4 inputs, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a LAN port, four USB 3.2 Type-A ports, and a USB 3.2 Type-C upstream port. There are also individually adjustable FX elements with RGB light.

Sabrent has quite the KVM switch with its Thunderbolt 4 KVM Switch that is powered by a Thunderbolt 4 connector and can power 8K 60Hz and 4K 144Hz displays, and so much more... it's on sale right now for $298, a savings of 15%.

The versatile Sabrent Thunderbolt 4 KVM Switch allows you to connect up to three different Thunderbolt 4 devices, with transfer speeds of up to 40Gbps. Sabrent uses this bandwidth wisely, with its KVM switch supporting up to 8K 60Hz and 4K 144Hz displays, letting you seamlessly switch between two different computers with high-res and high refresh rate monitors.

If you're plugging two displays into the Sabrent Thunderbolt 4 KVM switch, you'll be limited to 4K 60Hz, which allows you to have huge productivity (dual displays through a KVM into two separate systems) and still have room for more through USB ports on the KVM.

The new GIGABYTE AORUS CO49DQ Gaming Monitor features a massive 49-inch QD-OLED panel with a curved 32:9 aspect ratio and Dual QHD resolution of 5,120x1,440 pixels. Alongside impressive specs that make it another OLED gaming monitor we'd love to go hands-on with, regarding GIGABYTE and AORUS' 'OLED Care' feature, the company claims that its AI-based algorithm will help minimize the risks of burn-in.

Although OLED panel technology has come a long way quickly, burn-in or permanent image retention can still crop up. This recent long-term study highlights the improvements made and shows that no panel is safe from OLED burn-in. Burn-in is the reason why companies like GIGABYTE include tech to protect and ensure their OLED panels go the distance.

GIGABYTE's OLED Care suite includes a 'Pixel Clean' or pixel refresh option, 'Static Control' to reduce brightness when images remain static, 'Pixel Shift' screen movement, and an option called 'Sub-Logo Dim' to reduce the brightness of the taskbar and logo when running Windows.

TCL is on a gaming monitor announcement spree, where it has teased an interesting new dome-shaped 4K 120Hz OLED gaming monitor... as well as a new 27-inch 8K panel, 65-inch 8K OLED panel, and a gargantuan 57-inch 8K 240Hz mega gaming monitor of the future. You'll need an RTX 5090 or maybe even an RTX 6090 for 8K 240Hz insanity.

The company says it has "redefined the future" with its new monitor technologies, showing TCL's commitment to making a "more advanced, connected and healthy display future". That is being done with a super-dense 27-inch 8K monitor with an adjustable light zone that also packs eye tracking... interesting to see.

TCL also unveiled the first 65-inch 8K 120Hz IJP OLED curved monitor, boasting its huge 33 million pixels at a super-smooth 120Hz refresh rate. 7680 x 4320 @ 120Hz with a 1800R curve... that would be a sight to see, with TCL teasing that "every pixel is viewed, and the frame is perceived in a fully immersive environment".

TCL CSOT just announced a bunch of new displays, with its interesting new dome-shaped 4K 120Hz OLED gaming monitor for the PC.

The new gaming monitors were unveiled at DTC 2023 (Global Display Tech-ecosystem Conference 2023), which is being held in Wuhan, China (ooooh). The new gaming monitor features a 31-inch dome-shaped 4K 120Hz OLED panel, with the dome shape helping provide a "3D" feel to the monitor as it would wrap around your face more than a flat or even curved OLED panel.

We don't know much else about the new TCL gaming monitor outside of the 31-inch dome-shaped 4K 120Hz OLED panel, but I'd love to have my eyes in front of one. I reviewed the TCL C825 TV and walked away quite impressed with the 55-inch 4K 120Hz Mini-LED TV; fantastic if you've got a high-end GeForce RTX 4090 to use it with... games like Overwatch 2 and Alan Wake 2 would look astounding on it.

AOC has announced it will be launching two new ultrawide gaming monitors that will have the same resolution, but one has a better refresh rate.

If you are in the market for a new gaming monitor and have always been curious about picking up an ultrawide display, take a look at AOC's AGON line-up and, in particular, the CU34G2XE and CU34G2XP. AOC's AGON line has proved the company is dedicated to producing high-quality gaming monitors at an affordable price. It's able to do this by concentrating on the specifications that truly matter to gamers, such as resolution, refresh rate, and response time.

First up, we have the CU34G2XE, a VA panel display that comes with a curvature of 1500R, a 21:9 aspect ratio, 3440 x 1440 (WQHD) resolution, a 144Hz refresh rate, and a 1ms response time (MPRT). This ultrawide comes with support for HDR10 and comes equipped with DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.0. Next is the CU34G2XP, and while being an extremely similar gaming monitor by coming with all of the aforementioned features of the CU34G2XE, the CU34G2XP separates itself with an increased refresh rate of 180Hz, two DisplayPort 1.4 ports, and two HDMI 2.0 ports.

MSI has launched a brand-new (and sizeable) ultrawide gaming monitor for the low price of $360 (via Amazon) as part of the current Black Friday Deals. The new 40-inch MSI MAG401QR ultrawide gaming display features a large, flat IPS panel with a UWQHD resolution of 3440 x 1440 pixels and a 155Hz refresh rate with a low 1ms response time.

With most 21:9 ultrawide displays featuring 34-inch panels, it's good to see a larger, more affordable option like this. Especially one that still falls under MSI's "Esports Gaming" line-up thanks to its specs. On a side note, I'd love to see more 40-inch ultrawide models hit the market, with 3440 x 1440 and 3820 x 1600 pixel options.

Back to the new 40-inch MSI MAG401QR, color accuracy is great for the price, too, with 90% Adobe RGB, 94% DCI-P3, and 118% sRGB. There's also DisplayHDR 400 certification to crank up the cinematic visuals and some eye-care features like anti-flicker and blue light reduction modes. Plus, the IPS panel offers a wide 178-degree viewing angle and Adaptive Sync support.

OLED displays for 4K TVs and PC gaming monitors are some of the best options for image quality and responsiveness - to the point where no other panel technology comes close. OLED technology, which uses organic material that degrades over time, is prone to that one thing people worry about when shelling out for the latest and greatest display tech - burn-in.

Burn-in is effectively permanent image retention that can destroy immersion when viewing content or playing games. Even though the headline to this article might sound like it's still a major problem for OLED displays and that you should look at alternatives, the extensive testing carried out by the display gurus over at RTINGS.com - is mostly good news for how far OLED technology has come.

There's evidence of burn-in and temporary image retention, but standard LCD panels fared worse with "severe uniformity issues." Still, we're talking about an intense, over-the-top test that displayed a graphic and logo-heavy CNN image on each OLED display at maximum brightness. Then, it was left on for 6,000 hours or over 4 years of real-world usage.

REDMAGIC might be a brand you haven't heard of before, but they're part of Nubia -- a Chinese smartphone manufacturer -- the gaming side of the company has just introduced their first gaming display with a 4K 160Hz Mini-LED panel wth 5088 light zones.

The new REDMAGIC gaming monitor arrives in a 27-inch 4K 160Hz package, with multiple Mini-LED partitions for the backlighting mechanism to see optimal display output. The native 4K resolution on a 27-inch is too small, in my opinion, whereas a 32-inch 4K panel would've been better, but the 160Hz refresh on a Mini-LED is still going to be very, very nice for PC gamers.

With up to 2200 nits peak brightness, you're going to be straining your eyes in a dark environment inside of a game, and something bright happening on the screen like an explosion. Awesome. There's also support on the REDMAGIC 4K 160Hz Mini-LED gaming monitor for 99% of the Adobe DCI-P3 color gamut and HDR1400 certification.
