The big CPU and GPU announcements at CES like Nvidia's new RTX Super GPUs and AMD's new 7600 XT don't tend to come as a huge surprise, what with the endless rumours and leaks. However, screen tech at the show does tend to throw up some genuine news and CES 2024 is no exception.
Kicking things off is Samsung's new 4K 240Hz 4K OLED, the Samsung Odyssey G8 OLED. On paper, it's pretty much everything you could wish for from a gaming monitor. All those pixels, Samsung punch QD-OLED tech, plus 240Hz.
It's not alone, of course, the HP Omen Transcend 32 is pretty much identical, spec-wise. Then there's the Alienware 32 AW3225QF. Again, it offers the same 32-inch 4K OLED thing running at 240Hz.

Then there's the new Dell UltraSharp U4025QW. Now, Dell's Ultrasharp panels aren't strictly for gaming. But this is a 40-inch ultrawide with 5,120 by 2,160 pixels, so has exactly the same density as a 32-inch 4K monitor. It's also HDR 600 certified, so will
