Good news for gamers: giant OLED TVs can be used as display monitors as numerous companies announced models with these panels at CES this year.
Some brands are using LG Display’s flat 27- and curved 45-inch OLED panels in their monitors which also feature a 240Hz refresh rate, 0.03-millisecond response time, and height-adjustable stands.
With this batch of panels, LG and Acer are each releasing similar 27- and 45-inch models, while Asus and Corsair riffed on these sizes with designs slightly tweaked.
Samsung is also staying in the game, both as a maker of the panels and the monitors. The company is launching two curved monitors this year: a 34-inch Samsung Odyssey G8 OLED along with a more wild 49-inch ultrawide with the unwieldy name, the Odyssey G95SC.
LG’s 27-in UltraGear OLED start at over $1400, which makes it quite pricey while its bigger model start at $2500.
Samsung hasn’t shared a cost for its big 49-inch Odyssey G95SC yet but it will most likely reach the $4500 mark.
The biggest decision that gamers face is choosing between a slightly bigger TV with a slower refresh rate and response time or one of these smaller made-for-gaming OLED monitors.
