At the CES NVIDIA keynote presentation, NVIDIA CES Jen-Hsun Huang presented new enahancements, designed to expand the GeForce experience to a wider audience. These enhancements include a new gaming service, GeForce NOW; sharing gameplay video’s directly to Facebook using Facebook Live and GeForce Experience. What NVIDIA didn’t cover at the keynote as there are new 4K G-SYNC monitors which now include High Dynamic Range (HDR) functionality running at 144Hz!

If you are unfamiliar with what HDR can do for your monitor, NVIDIA has a nice tool that provides a comparison of HDR vs Non-HDR. You can find that here.

G-Sync HDR Specifications

  • 1000 nits peak brightness
  • 384 zone full-array dynamically controlled direct LED backlight
  • DCI-P3 cinema grade color gamut with Quantum Dot technology
  • DP 1.4 and HDMI 2.0 inputs
  • HDR10 support
  • Virtually zero input latency from pixel arrival at monitor to photon emission from LCD (HDR TVs introduce 22-41ms latency).

During CES, NVIDIA will be displaying the first two 27in 4K (3840 x 2160), 144Hz, G-SYNC HDR gaming monitors; the ACER Predator XB272 and ASUS ROG Swift PG27UQ.

“These new G-SYNC HDR monitors have higher peak brightness for stunning, vivid visuals with bold saturated colors; very high contrast for richer, more natural dark scenes; and a wide gamut of colors close to the DCI-P3 cinema standard.

In short, they create more-realistic scenes that better match reality. And by combining those enhancements with HDR programming in games such as Mass Effect Andromeda and Shadow Warrior 2, G-SYNC HDR delivers the next revolution of image quality, leaving you slack-jawed and speechless, just as G-SYNC did the first time you experienced its silky-smooth performance.”

The first G-SYNC HDR monitors are expected to be available in Q2, 2017. Pricing is currently not available, but if we can find that we’ll be sure to let you know.
