ASRock announced today that it is updating its monitor lineup with its flagship Taichi brand, introducing three new 27-inch models to the company's offerings. First in line is the new TCO27USA, designed as a flagship model with a 27-inch 4K UHD Penta Tandem QD-OLED display and a 240 Hz refresh rate. ASRock has equipped this panel with a 0.03 ms gray-to-gray response time, 99% DCI-P3 color accuracy, and other technologies such as AMD FreeSync, VESA's DisplayHDR True Black 400, and proprietary low blue light technology to reduce eye strain. For those with multiple setups, there is a built-in KVM switch. Regarding port selection, the ASRock Taichi TCO27USA features two HDMI 2.1 ports, two DisplayPort 2.1 with UHBR20, and a single USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C serving as a DisplayPort alternative or a 65 W power delivery line.

HDMI 2.1 has long been a goalpost for many players in the Linux world, including Valve and AMD, who were both previously working on an open-source implementation of HDMI 2.1 drivers for the Linux kernel, despite roadblocks from the HDMI forum. Now, that appears to be a reality, with the Linux kernel mailing list citing patches that will likely be merged into the upstream kernel driver stack in Linux kernel 7.4

According to the merge request, HDMI 2.1 FRL will be landing in Linux with support for AMD FreeSync, VRR, and Auto Low-Latency Mode, all of which should be very useful for both desktop gamers and for couch gamers on machines like the Valve Steam Machine or its many SteamOS-touting alternatives. Linux kernel 7.4 is slated to land in October 2026, although an exact release date has yet to be determined. Valve also previously declared the work for HDMI 2.1 to be complete for the Steam Machine, although it seemingly has yet to implement the new driver in SteamOS, since the Steam Machine product page still cites HDMI 2.0.

Alienware has added two new OLED gaming monitors to its lineup, with the 32-inch AW3226Q targeting high-end 4K gaming and the 24.5-inch AW2527HX going after the competitive gaming segment with a 560 Hz refresh rate. The Alienware 32 4K OLED (AW3226Q) uses a 3840 x 2160 RGB-stripe tandem OLED panel running at 165 Hz. Response time is rated at 0.03 ms gray-to-gray, while peak HDR brightness reaches 1,000 nits. The panel covers 99% of the DCI-P3 gamut and comes factory-calibrated to Delta E <2. It supports VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 and Dolby Vision, along with NVIDIA G-SYNC, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, and VESA AdaptiveSync. For connectivity, it has two HDMI 2.1 FRL ports, DisplayPort 1.4, and USB-A and USB-C downstream ports, with the latter supporting up to 15 W charging. Alienware is also backing the display with a three-year warranty that includes OLED burn-in coverage. The AW3226Q is scheduled to launch globally this fall for $699.99.

The Alienware 25 560 Hz QD-OLED (AW2527HX) uses a 24.5-inch 1920 x 1080 QD-OLED panel with a 560 Hz refresh rate and the same 0.03 ms response time. Alienware describes it as the fastest monitor it has built to date. Peak brightness reaches 1,500 nits, with a VESA DisplayHDR True Black 600 rating. The AW2527HX uses a matte AGLR coating and DisplayPort 2.1 (UHBR13.5) with full bandwidth, no DSC. Alienware has also added graphite heat dispersion and an AI-based pixel-level algorithm, together with pixel shift and pixel refresh features for OLED burn-in protection. Developed in collaboration with Team Liquid esports players, the monitor is scheduled to launch in early Q1 2027. Pricing has not yet been announced.

Acer today announced a full lineup of monitors for high-powered gaming and content creation across the Predator, Acer Nitro, and Acer ProDesigner portfolios.

The new lineup introduces multiple Odyssey models that feature world-first innovations, empowering players with greater versatility across speed, screen size, picture quality, and flexible display modes.

"Players come to Gamescom to discover what is next, try new games, and experience the technology they need to stay focused and compete at their best," said Hun Lee, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display (VD) Business at Samsung Electronics. "With new form factors, higher refresh rates, and advanced display technologies, the 2027 Odyssey lineup gives players more choice across competitive play, cinematic games, and multi-purpose setups."

ASRock, the global leading manufacturer of motherboards, graphics cards, mini PCs, gaming monitors, power supply units, and AIO liquid coolers, today announced the launch of the new Phantom Gaming PGO27QSA and PGO27QSA-W OLED gaming monitors. Featuring a 27-inch QHD QD-OLED panel, the new series is available in both classic black and Minimal White, combining high-performance gaming capabilities with refined aesthetics to deliver an exceptional visual experience while further expanding ASRock's Phantom Gaming OLED monitor lineup.

The PGO27QSA series features a 27-inch QHD (2560 × 1440) flat QD-OLED display with a 240 Hz refresh rate and an ultra-fast 0.03 ms (GTG) response time, minimizing motion blur and ghosting during fast-paced gameplay. Whether playing FPS, MOBA, or other competitive titles, gamers can enjoy smooth, responsive visuals that help them react with confidence in every critical moment.

MSI has added two new WQHD monitors to its MAG lineup targeting different ends of the gaming market. The MAG 274QPF X32 is a classic 27-inch flat monitor that boasts a 320 Hz refresh rate making it the fastest of the two. The monitor has a Rapid IPS, anti-glare panel with a 2560 x 1440 resolution, 0.5 ms GtG response time, 300 cd/m² SDR and 400 cd/m² peak HDR brightness and VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification. Color coverage is good with 95% Adobe RGB and 97% DCI-P3, with G-SYNC Compatible and AMD FreeSync Premium support. Connectivity includes one DisplayPort 1.4a and two HDMI 2.1 ports. The stand adjusts for tilt, swivel, height (130 mm), and 90-degree pivot.

The MSI MAG 325CQPF E18 monitor takes a different approach as this is a 31.5-inch curved Rapid VA, anti-glare panel with a 1000R curvature. It offers a 180 Hz refresh rate with the same 0.5 ms GtG response time. The VA panel sports a 3500:1 native contrast ratio, which is the main draw here over IPS alternatives. However, color coverage is more modest at 85% Adobe RGB and DCI-P3. From the connectivity point, we see that the monitors offer one DisplayPort 1.4a and two HDMI 2.0b ports, with the latter capped at 144 Hz. AMD FreeSync, PiP, and PbP are supported alongside MSI's AI Vision and Night Vision features. It's worth mentioning that neither of the two MSI monitors has USB ports. The MAG 274QPF X32 is priced at $309 and the MAG 325CQPF E18 at $289 and should be available in stores worldwide during this summer.

Despite recently updating the Steam Machine's product page to more accurately reflect the SteamOS-powered gaming PC's actual 4K performance, Valve has been working behind the scenes for a long time to enable HDMI 2.1 support on Linux in order to have full-featured, high-framerate 4K support over HDMI. In a recent statement to Digital Foundry, Valve engineer Pierre-Loup Griffais has confirmed that its work with AMD to implement HDMI 2.1 with FRL support has been completed, and although full support for HDMI 2.1 has not yet been implemented for the Steam Deck, it will be added in a future update, which will also add support for 4K 240 Hz with DSC over HDMI. The current driver setup already has support for important features, like variable refresh rate over HDMI.

We've worked a ton with various partners in AMD, who has done a ton of work to try and drive resolution there, and we think that's fully resolved. The current software stack we have on Steam Machine has HDMI 2.1 VRR enabled, not only on FreeSync displays but also on HDMI Forum VRR ones. This is a very important part of the performance puzzle, along with the FSR 4 boosts to come.

Alienware turns 30 this October. A lot has changed in three decades, but not our belief that gamers deserve the best. We're marking the moment with four new gaming displays, led by the world's first 39-inch 5K OLED gaming monitor with RGB stripe technology. The lineup also includes a faster and brighter evolution of our iconic 34-inch QD-OLED ultrawide and two 240 Hz QHD LCD curved monitors built to bring premium performance at a compelling price. These are the monitors that belong in every gaming setup, whether it's your first real upgrade or the final build.

The Alienware 39 5K OLED Gaming Monitor (AW3926QW): The Flagship
The AW3926QW is the most ambitious display Alienware has ever built. It's the world's first 39" 5K OLED monitor with RGB stripe technology, and it solves the problem that has defined OLED's ceiling for years: how do you push brightness higher without sacrificing the color accuracy and deep blacks that make OLED worth having?

BenQ announced the RD270Q, a 27-inch WQHD monitor dedicated to programmers and developers. The product is part of the RD Series that BenQ introduced in 2024 as a monitor line specifically designed for programmers, the first of its kind according to the company. The lineup's current flagship is the RD280UG, which was announced in January 2026. The BenQ RD270Q sports an IPS panel with a native 2560 x 1440 resolution at 144 Hz. The 144 Hz refresh rate is notable for a productivity-focused display since smoother scrolling through code and large documents is a nice benefit even outside gaming contexts. It has a 1300:1 contrast ratio, 350 cd/m² brightness and 178° viewing angles. The matte finish uses BenQ Nano Matte coating to reduce reflections.

The monitor comes with three dedicated programming modes: Light, Dark and Color Paper. Alongside those it also features M-book mode for MacBook color matching and an ePaper mode for long reading sessions. AMD FreeSync is supported. On the connectivity side it sports HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4 and a USB-C port with 65 W power delivery. A pair of 2 W speakers is included for basic audio. The stand adjusts for tilt, swivel, pivot, and up to 130 mm of height, and the display can pivot to portrait orientation for vertical code viewing. The BenQ RD270Q monitor goes on sale June 3, 2026, and is priced at around $400.

In the high refresh rate segment, many monitors continue to rely on TN panels. By adopting Fast IPS technology, the PG27QFW2A maintains 400 Hz fluidity while delivering accurate color reproduction and wide viewing angles, ensuring consistent and clear visuals even during fast-paced gameplay.

Although originally announced back in January, Gigabytes GO27Q24G is now available in retail, at least in Europe for around €400. It's built around a 27-inch, 2560 x 1440 resolution WOLED panel from LG Display and it comes with LG Display's MLA+ technology, as well as a RealBlack glossy coating. MLA+ is said to boost the typical brightness to 275 nits, with peak brightness hitting 1300 nits. The RealBlack glossy coating is said to minimise reflections for enhanced visibility.

Other features include a 240 Hz refresh rate, a 0.03 ms response time and VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification, as well as support for AMD FreeSync Premium and NVIDIA G-Sync Compatible. Connectivity consists of two HDMI 2.1 ports, one DP 1.4, one USB Type-C with DP Alt mode and one 3.5 mm headphone jack.

Just ahead of CES, LG announced a range of new monitors and now, the biggest one of the new models, the UltraGear EVO 52G930B is available for pre-order. Back then, LG didn't reveal much in terms of details about its 52-inch giant, but the company did reveal the 5120 x 2160 pixel resolution, the 240 Hz refresh rate and the 1000R curvature. Now we know that the 52G930B will also support DisplayHDR 600 and 95% of the DCI-P3 colour gamut. The panel is likely to cause some disappointment, as it's a VA panel with a contrast ratio of 4000:1 and a 1 ms grey to grey response time. Unfortunately LG doesn't provide any details with regards to what type of backlight is being used, but HDR600 doesn't require FALD. The 52G930B also has AMD FreeSync Premium support and a range of built in gaming features.

Somewhat disappointingly, the LG 52G930B only sports a single DisplayPort 2.1 input, but the two HDMI 2.1 ports also support the full resolution and refresh rate on offer here. The USB Type-C port seems to still be limited to DP 1.4 with DSC and possibly lower chroma subsampling, as even though it can support the full resolution, it tops out at 200 Hz. The monitor also has a pair of USB 3.0 Type-A ports and a headphone jack that supports DTS Headphone:X. There's also a pair of built in stereo speakers and some RGB lights around the rear. As with many other of LG's more premium monitors, KVM support and Picture-in-Picture and Picture-by-Picture is supported. Finally the stand is height adjustable and the display can be tilted and swiveled. LG is asking for US$1999.99 and the monitor is said to start shipping around the 22nd of March.

JAPANNEXT has expanded its portfolio with a new 31.5-inch monitor, named the JN-IPS326K-HSPC9 featuring 6K (6016 × 3384) resolution. The IPS panel with its 60 Hz, 8 ms response time, and E-LED backlighting is certainly suited towards home and office work rather than gaming. Pixel pitch is listed at 0.1159 mm, delivering a noticeably sharper image than standard 4K displays at this size. Brightness is rated at 500 nits, with a 1500:1 contrast ratio. The monitor covers 100% of the sRGB color space, 96% DCI-P3, and includes HDR 10 support. Viewing angles are specified at 178° horizontally and vertically, typical for an IPS panel.

The monitor comes with Picture-in-Picture and Picture-by-Picture options. These features can be useful for people who need to work with content from different sources at the same time. It also has Flicker-Free and Low Blue Light settings, HDCP support for DisplayPort, HDMI, and USB-C, and a built-in KVM switch. For connections, you'll find two HDMI 2.1 ports, one DisplayPort 1.4, and a USB-C 3.1 port that can deliver up to 90 W of power. There is also an audio output and built-in 2 W speakers, and compatibility with AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-Sync. The stand supports tilt, swivel, height, and pivot adjustments. VESA mounting (75 × 75 mm) is also available. The JAPANNEXT JN-IPS326K-HSPC9 monitor is currently listed at €1,399 on the company's official website.

Considering almost everything PC related seems to be going up in price this year, Dell has surprised with a pair of very affordable 240 Hz gaming monitors. The two models are the SE2726HG and SE2726HGS, both sporting 27-inch IPS panels. The not so good part is that both monitors only have 1080p panels, which might appeal to some gamers, but it's not that great for a multipurpose monitor. The only difference between the two models is that the SE2726HGS comes with a height adjustable stand.

The IPS panel delivers 300 nits of brightness, a 1000:1 contrast ratio and is said to deliver 99 percent of the sRGB colour gamut. The standard response time is 5 ms, but this can be tweaked in the menu settings down to 0.5 by switching to the extreme mode. AMD FreeSync Premium is also part of the package. Connectivity is quite sparse, with two HDMI ports with VRR support as well as a single DP 1.4 port. Dell lists a standard power draw of 19.7 W, with a maximum power draw of 40 W, suggesting that these are pretty power efficient displays. The SE2726HG comes in at US$130, with the height adjustable stand of the SE2726HGS adding an extra US$40 for a price tag of US$170.

Samsung Electronics today announced that its 2026 OLED TV lineup and next-generation Odyssey gaming monitors are NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible, delivering smoother gameplay to meet the needs of gamers and display enthusiasts alike

NVIDIA G-SYNC technology enables the display's refresh rate to synchronize with the NVIDIA GeForce GPU's frame rate, reducing screen tearing and stuttering for a more seamless visual experience. Models that are G-SYNC Compatible include the OLED S95H, S90H and S85H, as well as the new Odyssey G6 (G60H, G61SH) gaming monitors.

Xiaomi has officially released the G Pro 27Qi (2026) gaming monitor for the global market. The G Pro 27Qi is a 16:9, 1440p e-sports gaming monitor with AMD FreeSync support and a 180 Hz refresh rate. The G Pro 27Qi features an IPS panel with a mini LED backlight. According to Xiaomi, the G Pro 27Qi is capable of 2000 nits peak brightness and a 1000:1 contrast ratio. It has 1152 local dimming zones, sports a VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certification, and it uses a custom engine for scene recognition, and the local dimming features three levels and can be disabled if you like. The display is currently available from Xiaomi's global online store for AUD475 (around USD330), although it looks like the price may go up to AUD699 at some point. It currently does not seem to be listed on the US storefront, with the G Pro 27i coming closest, although with half the peak brightness.

Xiaomi also claims a 1 ms GTG pixel response time as well as 100% coverage of the sRGB color gamut, and 99% coverage of the Adobe RGB and DCI-P3 color gamuts. The display includes a calibration report, and Xiaomi says each display is calibrated to have delta-E values below 1, which makes it adequate for certain creative tasks alongside gaming. Physically, the G Pro 27Qi features a height-, tilt-, and swivel-adjustable stand with a portrait mode as well. It has a bit of that gaming design language on the back, with an RGB ring on the back panel, although overall the stand doesn't look too garish. For input, it features dual HDMI 2.0 ports and dual DisplayPort 1.4 ports as well as a 3.5 mm audio combo jack. It also has a built-in flip-out headphone holder in the top right corner, which is a nice touch.

CTX, a Taiwanese monitor maker, has used its CES 2026 booth to display some amazing gaming monitors at various resolutions and refresh rates. One of the most notable models is the company's OM 27, a 27-inch 2560x1440p resolution OLED display running at an impressive 540 Hz refresh rate. With brightness scaling up to 1500 cd/m², the display is one of the fastest OLED panels at QHD resolution. CTX targets e-sports professionals who require high refresh rate, but decided to go with a QHD resolution to make modern GPUs a great pair to push these frame rates. The company advertises 0.03 ms response time, and embedded a single DisplayPort 2.1, two HDMI 2.0, and a single USB Type-C serving as power delivery of 96 W, plus a single audio output jack. The monitor supports AMD's FreeSync Premium, comes with DisplayHDR 400, and much more. As a display OEM, many companies will adopt this panel in their monitor solutions.
