Asus, LG and Corsair will all be showing off their latest offerings at CES 2023
CES 2023 is now just days away, and we here at Fluorescent Media are specifically excited about 240Hz OLED gaming monitors.
Generally speaking, OLED panels can achieve better picture quality and a faster response time than their LED or IPS equivalents but have historically lacked the ability to match them in providing high-refresh rates. There have been some exceptions — such as the Alienware AW3423DW, a QD-OLED running at 175Hz — but now, OLED gaming displays have finally achieved the optimal 240Hz refresh rate prized by gamers who specialize in eSports and FPS titles.
There are several 240Hz OLED displays (that we’re aware of) being showcased at the CES 2023 conference. One of the more innovative offerings is the Corsair Xeneon Flex, a 45-inch OLED with a customizable curvature and a $1,999 price tag. By squeezing the screen together, you can switch between flat and 800R curved display modes, making it ideal for both work and play.
The Corsair Xeneon Flex has a 240Hz variable refresh rate and a 1440p resolution, alongside AMD FreeSync Premium, Nvidia G-Sync compatibility, and a zippy 0.03-millisecond response time.
LG will be showcasing its 45-inch ultra-wide OLED and 27-inch OLED UltraGear monitors, which are already available for preorder and $1,699 and $999, respectively. Both 240Hz displays are 1440p and feature a response time of 0.03ms. LG Display has also confirmed in a press release that these OLED panels will be used in premium monitors from other brands, such as Corsair and Asus.
Speaking of Asus, we also know that a new 27-inch ROG OLED gaming monitor will be unveiled during CES 2023, though details for that are slim. A teaser for the ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDM posted to Twitter earlier this month indicates this, too, will be running at 240Hz and feature a 1440p resolution, but otherwise, there’s no word on pricing or a release date.
