Nvidia is injecting BFG screens, in our Computex coverage we already mentioned the 65 inches ROG SWIFT PG65. This puppy will come with a 4K 120Hz panel, G-Sync and a build in Nvidia shield for your Android needs as well. This product page just went up at ASUS.
Updated: product page ASUS added - Nvidia announced Big Format Gaming Displays a while ago, a series of screens with a diagonal of 65" with features that make it sweet for gaming, among others Acer, Asus and HP would release models and they include panels up-to Ultra HD, HDR and G-Sync. All these panels are certified and need to meet certain requirements, one of them is HDR, and as such the panels must be able to deal with 120Hz, 65 ", 4k and a peak brightness of a thousand cd/m2. They will also need to support HDR10 and the DCI-P3 color gamut that is so popular in Hollywood.
The ROG Swift PG65 Big Format Gaming Display with NVIDIA G-SYNC does have all that, a 65” 4K panel up to 120Hz with HDR. At 65 inches, the screen stretches across more than 12 square feet of surface area Its 3840x2160 resolution packs over eight million pixels into that space, showing every detail in games and Ultra HD videos. It has full-array backlighting. Localized dimming enables deeper blacks, producing a broad dynamic range that allows the Swift PG65 to support HDR content.
There are lots of jumbo 4K displays with HDR, so the PG65 isn’t unique in that regard. What makes it special is the ability to saturate your eyeballs with more frames per second. Displays of this size are usually limited to 60Hz; even if they claim higher refresh rates, they use interpolation rather than new frames to fill in the gaps. With support for 120Hz input, the PG65 provides a true 120-FPS experience. Maintaining a solid 120 FPS at the native 4K resolution requires hardcore GPU horsepower though! So to smooth out the stuttering that can occur when performance dips below the maximum refresh rate, the PG65 uses NVIDIA G-SYNC technology to synchronize with the frame rate of compatible GeForce graphics cards. The integrated NVIDIA SHIELD is an advanced Android streamer around and has baked-in support for the biggest services, including Netflix, Amazon Video, YouTube, and Hulu, plus the Google Play Store, and even use the built-in Google Assistant to control the Shield with your voice. For the movie buffs, the PG65 supports video playback at native frame rates, including popular 23.976, 24, and 25-FPS formats. Footage is displayed exactly as the director intended, with no interpolation or other fudging. Pricing and additional details will be released closer to the availability date, but much like the screen size, it's going to be big. These monitors will ship late this year, likely the Christmas season.
Asus announced the Asus ROG Swift PG65 on this product page. Unfortunately, prices and availability are still not known or announced.
