Samsung just announced that 120 games will be playable via its Odyssey 3D Hub platform by the end of the year. This is the platform that provides content for glasses-free 3D monitors like recent Odyssey displays. The company made this claim at, while also noting that the platform currently offers around 60 playable titles.
Traits I look for in a large TV include good brightness and contrast, advanced local dimming (read: good backlighting) to reduce light bleed from bright objects on dark backgrounds, accuracy to the director's intent, and impressive color saturation, especially for HDR (High Dynamic Range) content.
From the moment I completed Google TV setup and started watching the TCL X11L I was amazed. I could immediately tell it's the brightest TV I've had in my home, but it was the color vibrancy that I found most impressive. The colors we're all most familiar with - skin tones, the sky, green grass and trees - all look as close to realistic as I've seen on a TV.
The flagship LG evo G6 series ranges in price from $2,499 to $24,999. (Cue spit take.) Fortunately, that five-figure price only applies to the 97-inch model, which nobody this side of Elon Musk needs. The entry-level price is for a 55-inch OLED. Moving up the ladder, the 65-inch one costs $3,399, the 77-inch model is $4,499 and an 83-incher will set you back $6,499.
New OLED gaming monitors from top companies coming out this year should look clearer and crisper. LG Display and Samsung Display, which typically provide the actual panels used in gaming monitors, are finally lining up the colors of their subpixels in vertical RGB stripes - remember when we used to worry about Pentile OLED displays? - which means, among other improvements, the panels should have easier-to-read text.
Available in 55-inch, 65-inch, 77-inch, and 83-inch options, this year's model is over 30% brighter, according to Samsung. Also: The best Samsung TVs: Expert tested OLEDs, big-screens, and more This is a model gamers will want to pay attention to, as it features 165Hz refresh rate support, VRR, and a "category-first glare-free technology" to eliminate distracting reflections. Samsung claims the 48-inch version is the "brightest 48-inch OLED ever."
At 51.5 inches, the UltraSharp U5226KW that Dell announced at CES is the biggest UltraSharp monitor yet. It has a resolution of 6144×2560, for a pixel density of 129 pixels per inch. The IPS Black monitor also has a bevy of ports via a Thunderbolt 4 hub that supports up to 140 W power delivery, an integrated KVM for up to four PCs, and a pop-out box with 27 W USB-C and 10 W USB-A ports.
If money were no object, I'd want a 100-inch LG Wallpaper TV in my family room immediately. It looks shockingly thin in person - almost as if it's some sort of sci-fi prop - and it delivers the rich colors and dark levels we expect from OLED. Cable management is also a cinch, since it requires just a single power cable. The A/V inputs are handled by LG's One Connect box, which you can position wirelessly up to 10 meters away from the TV.
One of the highlights of this year's lineup is the new LG OLED W6 Wallpaper TV. The Wallpaper line itself isn't new, dating back to 2017, but this year's entry is only 9mm thick and features an improved wall mount that allows it to sit even more flush against the wall and the Zero Connect Box, meaning the TV is totally wireless except for a single power cord.
Tipster Ice Universe has shared images of a new foldable display that was showcased by Samsung Display at CES. The display is expected to be used in Apple's iPhone Fold. According to the tipster, the panel shows no visible crease, which is a common drawback of current foldable screens. Samsung appears to have significantly minimized the crease with this new display. The screen will also feature an under-display camera and offer improved overall quality.
