Equipped with the latest chipsets and outstanding specifications, these capture cards enable creators to give their audiences the best viewing experiences on all platforms—without compromising their top-tier gaming experience on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, high-end gaming PCs, or handheld consoles like Nintendo Switch. 4K X, a USB card, features up to 4K144 passthrough and capture. 4K Pro, a PCIe card, boasts up to 8K60 HDR10 passthrough and 4K60 HDR10 capture.

And this week's featured In the NVIDIA Studio technical artist Vishal Ranga shares his vivid 3D scene Disowned—powered by NVIDIA RTX and Unreal Engine with DLSS.

Nexigo at the 2024 International CES showed off the Tri Vision Ultra, a portable projector with triple-color LED laser light sources; a projection technology usually reserved for larger projector form-factors, including the workhorse cinema DLPs you find in theaters. The Tri Vision Ultra meets ALPD 5.0 spec. It uses three independent LED light sources and projections for the RGB channels; the resulting output is comfortable for extended viewing. The Nexigo Tri Vision Ultra supports 4K Ultra HD, with 4 ms response time, and 60 Hz refresh rate; with 110% coverage of the BT.2020 color gamut. with ΔE being <1. HDR10 and Dolby Vision are supported. The projector has a maximum brightness of 2,500 ANSI Lumens, and is suitable for screens as large as 200-inch. Not that its target userbase needs it, but it also integrates 26 W RMS speakers. The Nexigo Tri-Vision Ultra just picked a CES Innovation Award, we can see why.

INNOCN brought its latest gaming monitors to the 2024 International CES; it didn't waste out time with monitors based on 15 year old tech; but rolled out the very latest—IPS with miniLED backlighting, and OLED. The Titan Army P27A6V is a 27-inch planar display with 4K Ultra HD resolution and a blistering 144 Hz refresh rate (which is high, considering this is 4K). This display uses an IPS panel with miniLED backlighting, and meets DisplayHDR 1000 spec. Display connectivity include HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4, both of which provide enough bandwidth of 4K HDR @ 144 Hz. Brilliant stuff, but this is "only" a 27-inch display, which will incur Hi-DPI scaling. Need something bigger? Check out the Titan Army P32A6V, which has identical specs to the P27A6V, but in a larger 32-inch planar format. Both these displays come in gunmetal gray and matte-white body color variants.

Switching up gears is the INNOCN M27E6V, a 27-inch planar display with a Fast IPS panel paired with miniLED backlighting. This one provides 4K Ultra HD with even faster 160 Hz refresh rate, and support for HDR 1400, and 99% coverage of DCI-P3. Inputs include DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1, and USB type-C (DisplayPort passthrough). You can use the monitor in single cable mode if the USB-C connection is capable of delivering 90 W. The next premium display is the Titan Army G27E8S, a 26.5-inch planar display that uses an OLED panel, and meant for performance gaming. You get a lower WQHD (2560 x 1440 pixels) resolution than the other three displays we mentioned so far; but at higher 240 Hz refresh rate, and under 0.5 ms GTG response time, thanks to the OLED panel. Inputs include DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.1. The display meets HDR10 spec.

Elgato is one of the smartest acquisitions of CORSAIR, as it gave them access to a large portfolio of game streaming and content creator hardware; and CORSAIR is executing a bold plan to reorient itself as a gaming lifestyle brand from its roots as a core memory and PC hardware company. At the 2024 CES, Elgato showed off two of its popular video capture and streaming devices.

The Elgato 4K Pro is an internal PCIe video capture card that takes up a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 slot. It is a successor to the 4K60 Pro Mark II that's already in the market; and allows you to capture 4K with HDR10 video. The new card supports HDMI 2.1, allows 8K passthrough, with simultaneous 4K60 or 1080p @ 240 Hz recording.

This new device supports HDMI 2.1, and recording up to 4K144 or 1080p @ 240 Hz. Play in HDR10 while capturing SDR including VRR passthrough. When they go on sale from February 1, the 4K Pro internal card will be priced at $280, and the 4K X External card at $230.

Additionally, Frontier earned a score of 9.95 Eflop/s on the HLP-MxP benchmark, which measures performance for mixed-precision calculation. This is also an increase over the 7.94 EFlop/s that the system achieved on the previous list and nearly 10 times more powerful than the machine's HPL score.

LG has launched what appears to be something of a budget model in its UltraGear range of gaming monitors in the shape of the UltraGear 27GR75Q-B. What we're looking at is a 2560 x 1440 resolution display with a refresh rate of up to 165 Hz, which not so long ago would've made this a premium product in the 1440p monitor segment. However, taking a closer look at the specifications, it's pretty clear that this is more of a budget model, as it only supports HDR10 and has a typical brightness of 300 nits and a minimum brightness of a mere 240 nits. You still get an IPS panel at least, although we're not sure how LG can claim it has a 1 ms grey to grey response time, as that's not something commonly found in IPS displays.

Other gaming features include FreeSync Premium and G-Sync Compatible support and LG's various gaming features, such as black stabilizer, dynamic action sync and an OSD feature that allows you to add a crosshair. Connectivity consists of two HDMI ports which top out at 144 Hz and one DP 1.4 port that tops out at 165 Hz, as well as a 3.5 mm audio jack. The monitor is at least fairly power efficient with a maximum power draw of 48 W and a typical power consumption of 45 W. The stand supports tilt, height and pivot adjustment. We found the UltraGear 27GR75Q-B listed for sale in Hong Kong for around US$250, confirming that this is indeed a more budget friendly option from LG.

ASUS today formally launched the ProArt Display PA329CRV, a 31.5-inch professional graphics monitor, aimed at creators.

The monitor offers 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160 pixels) resolution, with 350 cd/m² maximum brightness (peaks to 400 cd/m²), 1000:1 contrast ratio, and HDR10. Display inputs include USB type-C with DisplayPort 1.4 passthrough and 96 W USB-PD. The monitor features a VESA wall-mount, its included stand supports tilt, swivel, and pivot adjustments.

Dynamic smart projector brand, Emotn, a sub-brand of Dangbei, is thrilled to announce the launch of its first and latest Netflix officially licensed projector in Europe, the Emotn N1.

Unlike watching Netflix on smartphones and tablets, the Emotn N1 gives users the freedom to choose from a large screen size of 60" to 120". Different from watching on a normal TV, the dedicated light, rich color and crystal sound of the Emotn N1 provide viewers with more immersion and a cozy vibe. The Emotn N1 comes with a remote control that features hotkeys for the three main video services - Netflix, Prime Video and YouTube - allowing consumers to access their go-to apps with a single press.

The first flat OLED gaming monitor is here and it's unsurprisingly from LG and part of its UltraGear range of gaming products and goes under the model name 27GR95QE-B. Although it's being touted as a 27-inch display, the screen size is only 26.5-inches, which is a bit unusual. The resolution is 2560 x 1440, with a pixel pitch of 110.8 PPI and the refresh rate goes up to 240 Hz. The OLED panel is capable of delivering 1.07 billion colours and delivers a colour gamut of 98.5 percent of the DCI-P3 standard. LG claims the display has a GtG response time of 0.03 ms which is so far unheard of on a consumer display. LG doesn't supply a brightness rating, nor does the UltraGear OLED appear to have any kind of HDR certification, but supports HDR10, although considering it's an OLED panel, this shouldn't be much of a concern.

There's support for FreeSync Premium and VRR, with the display being G-Sync compatible as well. Other gaming related features include the typical things you'd find on most gaming displays today, such as an FPS counter, a built in crosshair and of course some RGB lighting features. Connectivity wise the UltraGear OLED comes with two unspecified HDMI ports and one unspecified DisplayPort input, as well as one upstreams USB 3.0 port (Type-B) and two downstreams USB 3.0 ports (Type-A). The monitor also has an S/PDIF out and a headset jack, which suggests that it does audio over USB. Finally there's a barrel plug for the 19 V power brick. The display also has support for DTS HP:X where HP stands for headphones, but there are no built in speakers. The stand supports tilt, height, swivel and pivot adjustments and can be adjusted up to 11 cm in height. LG is asking US$999.99 for the UltraGear OLED, which might be a bit more than what most people would be willing to pay for it, but it's at least a first step towards a range of new OLED gaming monitors.
