It looks like the trend for 27-inch monitors may be moving on. As part of CES 2020, Acer has announced three new Predator gaming monitors ranging from 32-inches to a monster 55-inch 4K OLED display. Predator CG552K 55-inch OLED Gaming Monitor The Nvidia Big Format Gaming Displays were announced 2 years ago, since then only…
Datacolor is one of the leading companies in colour management solutions providing solutions for a wide range of industries requiring the most accurate colour reproduction. They have a wide range of both software and hardware solutions, and I have reviewed a few of their products in the past, including the Spyder5, ColorReader and SpyderCheckr. The…
While 4K has become the go-to resolution for TVs, it is less popular with PC gaming, likely due to the performance requirements. As PC performance caught up to the demands of 4K, ultrawide has taken off. While I have positively reviewed ultrawide monitors by Philips and Acer in the past I have mostly been indifferent…
Following my review of the superb Samsung C49RG90 I thought it would be worth looking at how it compares with other similar monitors on the market. The Dell U4919DW and Philips 499P9H are the two notable options, both have the same screen size and resolution to the Samsung. Key Specs All three monitors are 49-inch…
The Samsung C49RG90 is the latest ultra-wide to hit the market and takes things to the next level with the super ultrawide format. A quick glance at the specs you would think at 49 inches running at 5120 x 1440 QHD it is the most over the top and ridiculous thing possible. However, due to…
A couple of years ago multiple companies, including ASUS announced their Big Format Gaming Displays which were completely over the top and amazing. They did launch, some to middling reviews, and you can buy the HP OMEN X Emperium 65 display from Currys for a bargain £3,499.00. This year, a more sensible solution as put…
Last year both Acer and Asus launched the first 4K HDR 144Hz G-Sync monitors, being bleeding edge technology they commanded an astronomical price of over £2000. Even today, the Acer X27 will set you back around £1700. Granted, to run those monitors at their full potential you would need one, if not two £1000+ RTX2080…
Back when I first started building PCs, it was always a case of buying the largest but most affordable monitor going. With budget builds costing hundreds, it can be difficult to bring yourself to pay another couple of hundred on a monitor. Similarly, if you have stretched your budget well over £1k you can easily…
Yesterday Acer held its Next@Acer where they appear to be increasingly focusing on delivering high-end extravagant products. During the announcement, possibly the most interesting product announced, for me, is the Predator CG437K P monitor. This is a massive 43-inch screen running at 4K with 144Hz variable refresh rate and DisplayHDR 1000. The variable refresh rate…
If you have the cash to drop over £1k on a GPU and the same again for the CPU, there is a good chance you want the best monitor on the market regardless of the cost. At the moment that gives you two choices, the ASUS 27″ ROG Swift 4K HDR which will set you…
While Big Format Gaming Displays (BGFD) sound amazing they will be quite niche due to their size and price. Asus may have a great alternative with the ROG Strix XG438Q which is a a 43-inch DisplayHDR 600 screen which offers 90% coverage of the DCI-P3 colour space and support for local dimming and 120Hz refresh…
