In this article, you will find the latest news regarding monitor panel development by the three biggest monitor panel manufacturers, which include LG, Samsung, and AU Optronics, as well as Innolux, BOE and Sharp.

For news regarding OLED panels, check out our dedicated guide about OLED monitors, though the most exciting upcoming models will be included here too.

Here, you can see panel developments by popular manufacturers, such as AUO, LG, Samsung, Innolux, etc. Keep in mind that the dates in the tables below imply when the said panel should go into mass production and that these dates may change.

Just like LG’s ‘IPS Black’ panels, BOE is developing IPS-type panel technology with an increased static contrast ratio of 2,000:1, which they call ‘True Black’ IPS.

Below, you will find more information about new monitors by various popular manufacturers. Some of these monitors use the above-mentioned panels, but it’s unknown what panel will be used for most of them. Click on the monitor manufacturer to jump to their models.

It uses an IPS Black panel by LG Display with a high 2,000:1 static contrast ratio, 178° wide viewing angles, a wide 99% DCI-P3 color gamut and DisplayHDR 600 certification.

The Lenovo ThinkVision P49w-30 is a 49″ 5120×1440 super-ultrawide monitor based on LG’s IPS Black panel with a 2,000:1 contrast ratio, 60Hz, 4ms GtG response time, 178° viewing angles, HDR10 support and 350-nit peak brightness.

Corsair revealed a 45″ ultrawide bendable OLED display with a 3440×1440 resolution, variable refresh rate support (FreeSync Premium Pro, G-SYNC Compatible, HDMI 2.1 VRR) and a 240Hz refresh rate! The Corsair Xeneon Flex 45WQHD240 is based on LG’s W-OLED panel and can be bent between 800R to completely flat.

Other specifications include instantaneous pixel response time and infinite contrast ratio thanks to the OLED panel, as well as a high 1,000-nit peak brightness and a wide 99% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage.

ASUS also announced a 27″ 1440p 240Hz OLED gaming monitor, thePG27AQDM based on the same OLED panel as the LG 27GR95QE. However, ASUS’ model will also feature a heatsink, which will allow it to achieve a bit higher brightness.

The ASUS ProArt PA32DCM is a 32″ 4K 60Hz professional monitor based on JOLED’s OLED panel with the regular RGB subpixel layout for sharp text without any fringing artifacts.

The MSI MEG342C QD-OLED is a 34″ 3440×1440 175Hz ultrawide curved gaming monitor based on the same panel as the Dell AW3423DW and the Samsung Odyssey G85SB.

Another interesting model is the Philips 42M2N8900 42″ 4K 120Hz (138Hz OC) gaming monitor based on LG’s W-OLED panel. Unlike ASUS’ model, it has a USB-C port with 90W PD and a stand with height, tilt and swivel adjustment! It will be available in January 2023 for €1960.

Philips also announced the 27M2CS500W model with a 27″ 1440p 240Hz 1000R curved VA panel, but no word on other specifications, such as HDR support and pixel response time speed. It will also be available in January 2023, for €579.

No word on availability yet, while the price should be around $1,070, which is good news considering that the LG 27EP950 with a similar panel goes for $3,000, though LG’s model also supports hardware calibration.

The Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 (G95SC) is a 49″ 5120×1440 240Hz super-ultrawide gaming monitor with a QD-OLED panel, sporting a wide color gamut, an infinite contrast ratio and an instantaneous pixel response time speed.

More information to come, but expect variable refresh rate support, triangular RGB subpixel layout and a semi-glossy panel coating like the one on the AW3423DW/F.

Samsung announced a 43″ 4K 144Hz gaming monitor with a flat-screen VA panel and a QDEF (quantum dot enhanced film) layer sporting a high native contrast ratio, a wide 95% DCI-P3 color gamut and 1ms MPRT (GtG response time not specified).

It uses a 3000R curved VA panel with DisplayHDR 400, FreeSync Premium, 1ms MPRT and a 165Hz refresh rate (170Hz OC). No word on a release date yet, while the price should be around $700.

The Acer Predator X32FP is probably one of the most anticipated monitors that’s been recently announced. It’s based on a fast IPS panel by AU Optronics, sporting a rapid 1ms GtG response time speed, 4K UHD resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate.

However, the X32FP is based on a faster panel and since it doesn’t have a G-SYNC module, you’ll get HDMI 2.1, USB-C, PiP/PbP support and no integrated fan (which can be noisy and fail after some time) at a lower price.

The AOC AGON AG275QXN is the first gaming monitor announced with a flat-screen VA panel and a 1ms GtG pixel response time speed. It’s a 27″ 1440p 165Hz display DisplayHDR 400 and FreeSync support.

It’s unclear which VA panel the monitor is using and, of course, it remains yet to be seen if it’s just a misleading measure achieved by unrealistic test conditions. This at least gives some hope to those who want a VA monitor with a fast response time speed, but don’t like the aggressively curved Samsung models.

It’s PG32UQX monitor with similar specifications goes for $3,000 yet it features a slower IPS panel without HDMI 2.1 or USB-C connectivity, though it has a dedicated G-SYNC module.

The AOC Q24G2 is a 24″ 1440p 165Hz gaming monitor based on an IPS panel by BOE with 99% sRGB color gamut, a 350-nit peak brightness, a 1,000:1 contrast ratio, FreeSync support and MBR.

It’s actually the first 24″ 1440p monitor with a high refresh rate and an IPS panel, which many gamers, who find 27″ sized screens to be too big and 1080p resolution too low, have been waiting for.

ViewSonic also specifies a 1ms MPRT response time speed, but GtG and panel type remain unknown at the moment. The monitor should be available in November 2022 for $1,500.

ViewSonic also announced the XG272-2K model with a 27″ 1440p 400Hz 1ms IPS panel! It will feature FreeSync Premium Pro and G-SYNC Compatible certifications for smooth VRR performance as well as a USB-C port with 90W PD and DP Alt Mode.

All four models can be configured with black or white panel and stand, and can be purchased with or without the stand, or with a single or dual monitor arm.

Dough (previously known as Eve) announced a 27″ 1440p 240Hz monitor based on LG’s W-OLED panel. Unlike theLG 27GR95QE and the ASUS PG27AQDM with matte anti-glare screen coatings, the Dough Spectrum ES07E2D will feature a glossy screen surface for a more vivid (but also more reflective) image quality.

HP announced a 44.5″ 5120×1440 165Hz ultrawide monitor with a 1500R curved VA panel, sporting a 3000:1 contrast ratio, a 3ms GtG specified response time speed, a 400-nit peak brightness and 99% sRGB color gamut.

The Cooler Master Tempest GP27U. It also goes for $800, but has the same issues the GP27U before its firmware update – VRR only works up to 144Hz and local dimming and VRR cannot work simultaneously, though KTC says they will release a firmware update.

BOE revealed a new 27″ 1080p monitor with a refresh rate of 500Hz+. A 1ms response time speed and true 8-bit color depth are specified as well. No word on other specs or release date/pricing, but we’ll update the article as soon as something new comes up.
