DISPLAYS DESCEND ON CES
While we’ve yet to see any displays that guarantee support for FreeSync 2 (AMD’s HDR tech), we did see Nvidia’s debut G-Sync HDR monitors and they look like the pinnacle of the desktop display market.
Keep your eyes peeled for the Acer Predator XB272-HDR and Asus ROG Swift PG27UQ. They’re both G-Sync HDR 10 panels that shine at 1,000 nits of brightness, hit 144Hz, and deliver 384 backlight zones that can be individually controlled to help lush colours and deep blacks coexist side by side (that’s basically the HDR promise). As if those HDR features weren’t enough, they also rock 4K resolutions and blazing-fast 144Hz refresh speeds. No word on pricing, but expect to pay a lot for what will certainly be the finest desktop displays you can buy.
