NVIDIA Supersizes PC Gaming with New Breed of Big Format Gaming Displays
January 07 2018 - 11:19PM
CES -- PC gaming today
makes the leap to a giant screen, with NVIDIA’s introduction of big
format gaming displays, or BFGDs™.
Created in conjunction with NVIDIA hardware partners Acer, ASUS
and HP, BFGDs integrate a high-end 65-inch, 4K 120Hz HDR display
with NVIDIA® G-SYNC® technology together with NVIDIA SHIELD™, the
world’s most advanced streaming device. The combination delivers a
buttery-smooth gaming experience and your favorite media streaming
applications — all on a giant screen.
“PC gamers expect high performance and instant response times,
but, until now, they’ve been largely limited to traditional desktop
displays,” said Matt Wuebbling, head of GeForce marketing at
NVIDIA. “BFGDs change that. With NVIDIA’s latest technology built
into these new displays, PC gamers can now experience their
favorite titles in all the low-latency glory they deserve.”
At BFGD’s Heart: G-SYNC HDRAt the heart of
BFGDs is the latest G-SYNC HDR technology that synchronizes the
display’s 120Hz refresh rate to that of the game at every moment in
time. This G-SYNC Variable Refresh Rate technology delivers a
highly responsive, smooth, tear-free, immersive gaming experience
unmatched by any display of this size.
Additionally, the 4K HDR display features a full-array direct
backlight, 1,000-nit peak luminance and DCI-P3 color gamut for the
ultimate in visual quality.
Ultra-Low Latency GamingNothing is more
important to gamers than responsive gameplay. G-SYNC technology
brings the ultra-low latency found in G-SYNC desktop gaming
monitors to the BFGD when gaming directly on the PC, Android™,
another console or using NVIDIA GameStream™ technology from a
desktop or laptop gaming PC.
Big Screen Streaming The integration of the
Android TV™-based SHIELD into BFGDs allows gamers to easily switch
between gaming and other forms of entertainment. The bundled SHIELD
remote and game controller allow for easy navigation and access to
all of the world’s biggest streaming apps, including Netflix,
Amazon Video, YouTube™ and Hulu.
With support for the Google Assistant, the entire experience can
be controlled simply by using your voice. G-SYNC HDR technology
also supports video playback at native framerates, including
popular 23.976, 24 and 25 FPS formats. This matches the screen’s
refresh rate to the video source’s actual frame rate, eliminating
interpolation and presenting the video content as it was intended
to be viewed by the director.
Availability and PricingBFGDs are available for
hands-on demos at CES at the NVIDIA gaming suite and ASUS ROG
showcase room at the Wynn Las Vegas by appointment only, and in the
HP booth at the Pepcom and Showstoppers press events on Monday and
Tuesday evening, respectively. General availability is expected
this summer when pricing and further specifications will be
announced.
