HANNspree Hybri EB240PJB

The HANNspree Hybri EB240PJB is a transflective LCD, which is a combination of transmissive (typical LED-backlit monitors) and reflective (no backlight but uses ambient light) LCDs.

Basically, it works in its reflective mode in environments with over 1000 lux of ambient light, while in darker rooms, its micro-perforations in the reflective layer allow a flicker-free LED backlight to pass through.

As a result, the monitor provides you with a comfortable viewing experience with an exceptionally low blue-light ratio of 37.8%, zero flicker and paper-like image quality. It’s the first such display with a 75Hz refresh rate, ensuring a bit smoother motion clarity in comparison to the standard 60Hz displays.

It has a 23.8″ 1080p TN panel with true 8-bit color depth, a 50-nit peak brightness, a 20:1 contrast ratio, 50.4% NCS color gamut, a 5ms GtG pixel response time speed and low power consumption (21.1W with backlight on, 4.4W with backlight off).

The HANNspree Hybri monitor offers fully ergonomic support (90° pivot, +/- 45° swivel, -5°/15° tilt, 124 – 206mm height adjustment and 75x75mm VESA mount compatibility) and rich connectivity options, including DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.0, VGA and dual 2W integrated speakers.

The screen also has a matte anti-glare coating to diffuse reflections.

It will be available in Taiwan for $29,800 TWD (~900 USD) in late March 2025. The pre-sale will launch during Taiwan International Book Fair from February 4th to 9th. No word on US pricing and availability yet.

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, the MSI MPG 272QRF X36 and the AGON PRO AG276QSG2.

The monitor should be available in Q2 2025, but there’s no word on pricing yet.

The XV270U F5 model offers the same specs as the XV270 F5, except that it has a higher 1440p resolution and a slightly lower 500Hz refresh rate. It will be available in Q1 2025 for $800.

ViewSonic also announced two 27″ 1440p 430Hz 1ms IPS gaming monitors, the XG273-2K and the VX2781-2K-Pro-4. The only difference between the two models is in the design.

Both models offer a wide 98% DCI-P3 color gamut, VESA DisplayHDR 600 certification, full ergonomic support, two HDMI 2.1 ports, DP 1.4, USB-C with DP Alt Mode and 96W PD, a dual-USB 3.0 hub (2 type A + 1 type B), an additional USB-C port with 15W PD, KVM, a headphone jack and dual 3W integrated speakers.

It will be available for $690. No word on availability yet.

BenQ RD240Q

BenQ released a 24.1″ 2560×1600 IPS monitor with a 16:10 aspect ratio for extra vertical screen space, ideal for coding/programming. You also get an excellent pixel density of 125.26 PPI for sharp text.

Other specifications include sRGB color gamut, a 300-nit peak brightness, a 1000:1 contrast ratio and 178° wide viewing angles. The monitor has an ergonomic stand and rich connectivity options with HDMI 2.0, DP 1.4, USB-C (90W PD), a USB hub, a headphone jack and dual integrated speakers.

You’ll also find plenty of features useful for coding and office-related work, such as a proximity sensor, an ambient light sensor, and more. It’s now available for pre-order on Amazon for $380.

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.

• 65″ 8K 120Hz (1800R) Curved OLED
• 31″ 4K 120Hz OLED with Dome-shaped design (image above)
• 27″ 8K 2D/3D Display

SID Display Week 2024

At SID Display Week 2024, TCL/CSOT exhibited a few exciting displays, though just like with their previous DTC 2023 showcase, these are mainly prototypes and not intended for commercial use.

• 85″ 8K 120Hz display
• 57″ 8K 1000R curved display with 1600-nits peak brightness, over 11,000 dimming zones and FreeSync Premium Pro support

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.
