CES 2022 is an important show for PC monitors. The presence of display giants like LG and Samsung sets the tone for the coming year, while smaller monitor makers tease announcements for upcoming flagship releases.
Many monitors shown at CES 2022 won’t arrive until the latter half of the year, and pricing remains in short supply. Still, the show can help you decide between upgrading a monitor now or waiting for the next holiday shopping season.
Here’s a rundown of the most important monitor trends from CES 2022. For even more CES coverage, check out our roundup of five laptop trends you can’t ignore (see page 16).
1. NVIDIA WANTS TO MAKE GAMING MONITORS BIGGER AND FASTER
Nvidia came to CES 2022 touting the benefits of 27-inch, 1440p monitors with a 360Hz refresh rate (fave.co/3rG76MO) as an alternative to traditional 25-inch, 1080p e-sports monitors.
1440p at 360Hz is new, but 27-inch monitors are extremely common. In e-sports, however, 25-inch monitors remain the standard. Professional players often have an almost superstitious attachment to not only a particular monitor size, but a particular brand and panel technology.
Nvidia’s argument for the upgrade? A 27-inch 1440p monitor provides a larger, sharper view of the game. The company claims this can increase accuracy in shooters by up to 3 percent. That’s not a lot, but any tangible edge is important to professional players fighting for a championship title.
