Asus is showcasing its new ProArt PA27UCDV creative monitor at IBC 2026 in Amsterdam. The 26.5‑inch display features a 4K QD‑OLED panel running at up to 120Hz, aimed at colour‑critical workloads.

According to Prad, the monitor offers a 3840×2160 resolution on a 16:9 panel. As for the panel itself, Asus uses its LuxPixel anti‑glare coating, which is the company’s branding for its reduced‑reflection surface. The PA27UCDV covers 99% of the DCI‑P3 colour space, reaches up to 1000nits peak brightness, and is rated for Delta‑E <1 colour accuracy. HDR support is included, and an Auto KVM switch is built in for multi‑device workflows.

Connectivity includes HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC, a built‑in USB hub, and two Thunderbolt 4 ports. One Thunderbolt 4 port delivers up to 140W Power Delivery, while the second supports daisy‑chaining for multi‑monitor setups. Like most other ProArt displays, the PA27UCDV retains a slim, minimalist aesthetic.

Asus has not yet confirmed pricing or availability for the ProArt PA27UCDV.

KitGuru Says: With a 120Hz panel, this ProArt monitor could also double up as a nice gaming display too.

KTC has unveiled the M27P6S, an updated 27-inch Fast IPS gaming monitor featuring 2304 QD Mini-LED dimming zones and a 4K dual-Hz display mode.

Building on the foundation of the original M27P6, the new model (via TFT Central) doubles the backlight's local dimming count from 1152 to 2304 zones. The display natively runs at 3840×2160 resolution at up to 160Hz, with a dual-Hz toggle that lets users drop to 1920×1080 at up to 320Hz. Other metrics include a 1ms G2G response time, 10-bit colour depth (8-bit + FRC), 99% sRGB and 99% DCI-P3 coverage, and a peak brightness of 1400 nits.

Other features include Adaptive Sync support, an anti-blur tool (DAC), an integrated KVM switch, and VESA DisplayHDR 1400 certification.

Connectivity options consist of two HDMI 2.1 ports, a DisplayPort 1.4 input, a USB 3.0 hub, a headphone output, and a USB-C connection with DP Alt Mode and 65W power delivery. Ergonomics cover height adjustment up to 130mm, along with tilt, swivel, and pivot. KTC has listed the monitor at 646 SGD, which is about £370.

KitGuru says: With its 2304 Mini-LED dimming zones in a 27-inch panel, blooming and haloing on the M27P6S should be minimal, which could make it a compelling option if KTC brings it to Western markets at a competitive price.

The days of Nvidia 3D Vision displays might be behind us but nowadays, we do have companies working on glasses-free 3D technology. We've previously seen Acer monitors experimenting with this tech, and now AOC is getting involved with its new U27G4FD monitor, with a 4K/180Hz panel and glasses-free 3D capabilities. 

According to DisplaySpecifications, the U27G4FD enables users to switch between 2D and 3D modes when using supported Windows 3D software without needing external accessories. AOC builds the monitor around a 27-inch 4K Fast IPS panel featuring a 180Hz refresh rate, 0.5ms MPRT, and 1ms GTG response times. Both Nvidia G-Sync Compatible and AMD FreeSync Premium certifications are included, alongside MBR and MBR Sync blur-reduction modes, low input latency, frame counters, dynamic crosshairs, and RTS/FPS presets.

Other specs include 400nits typical brightness, a 1200:1 contrast ratio, 10-bit colour depth, and factory-calibrated ΔE<2 colour accuracy covering 100% of sRGB and 95% of DCI-P3. For connectivity, the monitor provides two HDMI 2.1 ports with FRL6 48Gbps bandwidth and DSC support, a DisplayPort 1.4 input, two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports, a USB-B upstream port, an audio output, and dual 5W speakers.

Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE.

KitGuru says: Combining a 4K 180Hz Fast IPS with glasses-free 3D functionality makes the AOC U27G4FD an interesting option for both high-refresh gaming and 3D content. Would you get one of these?

The monitor uses an inkjet-printed OLED panel, which has been supplied by TCL CSOT for better features. MSI Introduces PRO MAX OLED 271UPJW12 OLED Monitor, Featuring Inkjet-Printed OLED Panel Capped at 120 Hz Conventional OLED monitors are usually manufactured using a process called Fine Metal Mask or FMM evaporation. These metal masks can sag or deform on larger displays, which basically reduces the manufacturing yield and increases the costs. MSI, on the other hand, went with Inkjet printing, which uses a completely different approach. The company has today introduced what it calls the World's first 27-inch 4K 120 Hz Inkjet-Printed […]

Asus has announced two new additions to its ProArt display lineup, the 26.5-inch PA279CDV and the 31.5-inch PA329CDV. Both monitors feature 4K QD-OLED panels, 120Hz refresh rates, and factory calibration for creative workflows.

Asus states both displays deliver up to 1000nits peak brightness across a 3% window, alongside true 10-bit color depth. Panel coverage spans 99% DCI-P3, 100% sRGB, and 100% Rec. 709 colour gamuts, backed by factory calibration guaranteeing a Delta E<1.5. To protect from physical damage, an anti-scratch film covers the panel, providing up to 2.5X greater scratch resistance than previous-generation QD-OLED displays.

An Auto KVM feature lets users control two connected systems using a single keyboard and mouse. Connectivity options include a USB-C port with 96W power delivery, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC, and a built-in USB 3.2 hub featuring one USB-C and three USB Type-A ports. macOS support arrives via the M Model-P3 colour profile, DisplayWidget Center software compatibility, and synchronisation with Apple ProMotion at 120Hz.

The company also equips the monitors with its OLED Care suite, using pixel shifting, logo detection brightness reduction, and a proximity sensor to dim the screen when unattended. Redesigned stands offer a 33% smaller footprint and 2X slimmer profile compared to prior designs. Asus will release the PA279CDV in July 2026 for $699, followed by the PA329CDV in September 2026 for $899. Select regions will also include a three-month Adobe Creative Cloud subscription with purchase.

Ubisoft has been one of the better publishers when it comes to updating its 8th-gen titles for modern platforms. While the extent of each patch has varied, Ghost Recon Wildlands appears to be set to receive a pretty substantial update, with users noting marketing materials advertising an upcoming 4K60FPS ‘Definitive Edition.’

As reported by multiple users, Ubisoft appears to be gearing up to announce a ‘Definitive Edition’ of 2017’s Ghost Recon Wildlands. Taking to the game’s subreddit, users shared a splash screen which seems to confirm that Ghost Recon Wildlands will be receiving an update in August, bringing some cosmetic packs alongside a ‘new mission’.

By far the most exciting part of the update however is the fact that Wildlands will seemingly be updated with full 4K and 60fps support (compared to its current 1440p 30fps offering).

Of course, we will have to wait for official confirmation from Ubisoft themselves before jumping to conclusions. That being said, the publisher has somewhat acknowledged the leaks, recently taking to Twitter to write: “It’s been a while Ghosts! We know some of you saw some updates, we’ll have more to say on the 6th of August when we celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Ghost Recon. Intel coming soon.”

Given that the August date lines up with the aforementioned splash screen, it’s safe to assume that the information is legit. It will be interesting to learn whether this update will bring with it a bespoke current-gen app, or if it will function more as a backwards compatible+ type of experience. We shouldn’t have to wait long to find out.

KitGuru says: What did you think of Ghost Recon Wildlands? How does it compare to 2019’s breakpoint? What other Ubisoft games do you hope will receive a current-gen update? Let us know down below.

Philips has listed its new Evnia 32M2N6901A gaming monitor, featuring a 31.5-inch 4K QD-OLED panel and a 165Hz refresh rate. While the company has not announced an official launch date or price, retail listings point toward a late August 2026 release.

According to Prad, the Evnia 32M2N6901A sports a 3840×2160 resolution and carries VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 alongside ClearMR 9000 certifications. Its datasheet details a 10-bit color depth, a 0.03ms gray-to-gray response time, a 1,500,000:1 contrast ratio, and a Delta-E color accuracy value of less than two. Colour gamut coverage hits 100% sRGB, 99% DCI-P3, and 97.5% Adobe RGB. For brightness, Philips advertises 250nits under standard SDR workloads, climbing to a peak of 1000nits in HDR mode at a 3% Average Picture Level (APL).

Gaming features include AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, an on-screen smart crosshair overlay, and three-sided Ambiglow AI-powered lighting effects. Built-in audio is handled by two 5W internal speakers with DTS Virtual :X virtual surround sound. For multi-device users, the integrated KVM switch works alongside picture-in-picture and picture-by-picture viewing modes to manage multiple sources.

Connectivity options include two HDMI 2.1 inputs, a DisplayPort 2.1 input, a USB 3.0 hub, a headphone output, and a USB-C port that delivers up to 65W of power. The included stand supports height adjustment up to 130mm, tilt, and swivel, though it lacks a pivot option. Some retailers have already listed the monitor at around €750, with availability expected in August.

ViewSonic has unveiled the VX24G26J-4K, a new 24-inch gaming monitor that delivers 4K native resolution and offers one of the highest DPI gaming displays on the market.

The new VX24G26J-4K display (via TFT Central) features a native resolution of 3840×2160 pixels on a 24-inch panel, which translates to a pixel density of 188DPI. This layout offers a higher pixel density than standard 32-inch 4K options at roughly 140DPI or 27-inch 4K panels at 163DPI. However, it sits below 27-inch 5K monitors, which lead the market at 218DPI.

Viewsonic is marketing the VX24G26J-4K specifically toward gamers. Technical specifications for the panel include a 160Hz refresh rate alongside a 1ms response time. Other display specs include a 1000:1 contrast ratio, 400 nits of brightness (SDR), 8-bit colour depth, DisplayHDR 400 certification, a matte coating and a coverage of 100% of the sRGB and 95% of the DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB colour spaces.

Like most gaming monitors, it has multiple gaming-oriented features, such as Black Level Stabilisation and Crosshairs. The display is also Nvidia G-Sync compatible and supports AMD FreeSync. Lastly, it features a ViewMode, which automatically adjusts screen settings depending on the content displayed, and Low Blue Light and Flicker-Free technologies. For connectivity, there are DisplayPort 1.4, 2x HDMI 2.1, and a headphone jack.

KitGuru says: A 4K resolution on a 23.8inch panel results in an impressively sharp pixel density. However, it remains to be seen how practical this form factor is for high-refresh gaming.
