The LG UltraGear Curved OLED gaming monitor 45GR95QE model features a 45-inch WQHD (3440 x 1440) resolution display with a 240Hz refresh rate, a 21:9 aspect ratio, and an 800R curvature, in addition to the same color gamut, contrast ratio, HDR10, and AGLR specs as the 27-inch model.

LG isn’t the only company launching a 240Hz OLED gaming monitor. Dough (formerly Eve) has announced its own version of this display that uses the same panel, and Asus has teased its own model as well.

Acer’s new 600Hz monitor sounds ridiculous, but I want one anyway
The corner of Acer's 600Hz gaming monitor.

Acer just unveiled a host of new gaming monitors at IFA 2024, and some of them sound downright ridiculous -- but in a good way. The best embodiment of that word is definitely the new Acer Nitro XV240 F6, which drives up the refresh rate to a whopping 600Hz.

That's a first, and considering the price, it's really not a bad deal. I find myself wanting to check it out. Whether or not anyone actually needs (or could observe the difference with) a display this fast is an entirely different question, of course.

Don’t waste your money on an OLED gaming monitor
Cyberpunk 2077 running on an OLED gaming monitor.

OLED monitors are a waste of money, which is a shocking statement coming from the guy who packed the list of the best gaming monitors with OLED options. I love an OLED gaming monitor and the experience it can provide, don't misunderstand me. For the vast majority of gamers, however, they're simply too expensive to justify right now.

Since the release of the LG UltraGear OLED 27, we've seen a flurry of new gaming monitors sporting the latest and greatest panel tech. Each new release pushes the envelope further. Although we're a few years separated from when the first OLED gaming monitors showed up, this display tech is still in its early adopter stage.

Asus’ 480Hz OLED gaming monitor is cheaper than expected
The Asus 480Hz OLED set up at CES 2024.

Asus is finally sharing more details about its upcoming ROG Swift PG27AQDP, which looks to earn a slot among the best gaming monitors. We first saw this monitor at the beginning of the year, where it stood out as the first OLED monitor ever to reach at 480Hz refresh rate at 1440p. Since originally showing it off, Asus has been quiet about the display -- until now.

The PG27AQDP officially launched at Gamescom, and it's arriving at a shockingly low price of $1,000. That's not cheap for a gaming monitor, or even an OLED monitor, but it's much lower than the competition. The Acer Predator X27U F3, which matches Asus' display in terms of specs and is due out any week now, could cost as much as $1,600, Acer says. It's possible Acer will make a last-minute pricing adjustment in the face of the PG27AQDP.
