Dell Monitors

Dell Alienware AW2725QF

The Dell Alienware AW2725QF is a 27″ 4K 180Hz IPS gaming monitor with the 1080p 360Hz Dual Mode, allowing you to seamlessly switch between 4K resolution for work or graphically-oriented games and 1080p 360Hz for undemanding eSports titles!

Other specs include a wide 95% DCI-P3 color gamut, DisplayHDR 600 support as well as Dolby Vision (a bit pointless given the lack of FALD), and VRR support.

The monitor boasts a fully ergonomic stand and extensive connectivity options, including two HDMI 2.1 ports, DP 1.4 and a quad-USB 3.0 hub (one type B, three type A and one type C with 15W PD but no DP Alt Mode).

It will be available on September 12 for $600.

ASUS Monitors

ASUS PG27AQNR

The ASUS ROG Swift PG27AQNR is the first gaming monitor announced with the new NVIDIA G-SYNC Pulsar technology, which offers simultaneous VRR and MBR performance via a dedicated module/scaler and NVIDIA’s ULMB implementation.

So far, simultaneous VRR and MBR technologies by other brands have been lackluster, so we’re expecting NVIDIA’s version to deliver impressive performance.

The ASUS PG27AQNR is based on a rapid 27″ 1440p 360Hz IPS panel, most likely the same one used in the PG27AQN with ULMB2.

NVIDIA teamed up with MediaTek to develop a new scaler instead of NVIDIA’s traditional G-SYNC module. This brings finally updated connectivity options with a DisplayPort 1.4 input and two HDMI 2.1 ports.

However, while you will be able to use VRR on AMD and Intel dGPUs, NVIDIA-exclusive features, such as Reflex Analyzer and G-SYNC Pulsar will only be available on NVIDIA GPUs.

Acer and AOC also announced their models based on the same panel with G-SYNC Pulsar, the Predator XB273U F5 and the AGON PRO AG276QSG2.

No word on pricing yet, while the monitor should be available in Q4 2024.

ASUS ProArt PA27JCV

The ASUS PA27JCV is a 27″ IPS monitor with a 60Hz refresh rate, 5K screen resolution (5120×2880, ~217 PPI), Delta E < 2 factory calibration and 99% DCI-P3 wide color gamut coverage.

There’s also an ambient light sensor, LuxPixel AGLR (anti-glare, low-reflection) screen coating for better reflection handling, and a backlight sensor that can circumvent the warm-up process of the monitor for accurate image as soon as you turn the monitor on.

It features a fully ergonomic stand and rich connectivity options, including DP, HDMI, USB-C (96W PD, DP Alt Mode) and built-in KVM.

ASUS ProArt PA32QCV

The ASUS PA32QCV model offers the same features as the PA27JCV, but has a 32″ 6K screen instead (6016×3840, ~226 PPI).

No word on pricing and availability yet.

ASUS ROG Strix XG27UCG

The ASUS XG27UCG is a 27″ 4K 160Hz 1ms gaming monitor based on LG’s IPS panel with a 1080p 320Hz Dual Mode. This allows you to quickly switch between 4K 160Hz and 1080p 320Hz modes via a button on the monitor!

Other specs include VRR support, ELMB-Sync, 95% DCI-P3 color gamut, a 400-nit peak brightness, a fully ergonomic stand and decent connectivity options, including DP 1.4, HDMI 2.1, USB-C with DP Alt Mode (15W PD) and a headphone jack.

ASUS ProArt PA32KCX

ASUS revealed the ProArt PA32KCX model with a 32″ 8K IPS panel (275 pixels per inch) and a 4000+ zone mini LED FALD backlight.

It boasts a high 1200-nit peak brightness (1000-nits sustained), true 10-bit color depth support, Delta E < 1 factory calibration, a wide color gamut support (99% Adobe RGB, 97% DCI-P3), HDR10 and HLG HDR support.

The refresh rate is not mentioned, so we assume it’s limited to 60Hz.

There’s also a built-in colorimeter for auto-calibration, a detachable shading hood, an ambient/proximity sensor and ASUS’ new LuxPixel anti-glare low-reflection screen coating.

The monitor has an ergonomic stand and rich connectivity options, including Thunderbolt 4 with DP Alt Mode and 96W PD, two HDMI 2.1 ports, DisplayPort 2.1 and a USB hub.

No word on availability and pricing yet.

The monitor uses a rapid VA panel with a 0.5ms GtG pixel response time speed, so we’re hoping it has a well-optimized overdrive to prevent the infamous VA smearing.

Other specifications include a 1500R screen curvature, an ergonomic stand, DisplayHDR 400, 4K 120Hz Console Mode, and decent connectivity options, including DP 1.4, two HDMI 2.1 ports, USB-C with DP Alt Mode and 15W PD, and a headphone jack.

The monitor also features QD Premium color (full Adobe RGB gamut coverage assumed), Delta E ≤ 2 factory calibration and a rapid 1ms GtG pixel response time speed. No word on pricing, while all the available information regarding the release date is ‘sometime in 2022’, so there’s a good chance it’s been canceled.

TCL Panels

New Display Technology

QD-LED

QD-LED is the newest display technology that could replace OLED displays in the future. With these displays, electricity is applied directly to the quantum dots, so no LED or OLED panel is necessary.

As these displays are also self-emissive but don’t use any organic materials, they will have a lot longer life span than OLED displays. Further, QD-LED displays will also offer notably wider color gamuts and are cheaper to make due to inkjet printing.

QD-LED displays are also referred to as QD-EL, QDEL and NanoLED.

While QD-LED is still in prototype stages, the development is gaining momentum and displays for commercial use are expected as early as 2025/2026.

Samsung revealed an 18.2-inch 3200×1800 (202 PPI) QD-LED display with a 250-nits peak brightness at SID Display Week 2024.

In addition, TCL showcased a 14″ QD-LED display with a 2.8K resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate and a wide 85% BT2020 color gamut.
