Windows 10: CES 2019: NVIDIA announces G-SYNC Compatible monitors

Brink · Jan 7, 2019

G-SYNC’s display technology has been delivering superior gaming experiences since 2013, and as we begin 2019 we have several exciting G-SYNC announcements to share.

Introducing “G-SYNC Compatible” Displays

In 2013 we released G-SYNC, a revolutionary monitor technology that introduced gamers to smooth variable refresh rate gameplay, with no screen tearing and no V-SYNC input lag. Before G-SYNC, gaming monitors had stagnated, using decades-old tech and the same-old features. But since G-SYNC’s launch, gaming monitors have evolved rapidly, and we’ve helped guide their evolution with end-to-end development and certification testing, and more, ensuring each G-SYNC display delivers the best possible gaming experience out of the box.

The GeForce community loves G-SYNC, and many gamers have asked for a trimmed down, GeForce-compatible Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) experience. However, with a wide variety of VRR ranges and in some cases a narrow VRR operating range the VRR feature may only work when the game framerate is in a narrow, very specific range. Which is often not the case, as game frame rates vary significantly from moment to moment.

In addition, not all monitors go through a formal certification process, display panel quality varies, and there may be other issues that prevent gamers from receiving a noticeably-improved experience.

There are good monitors out there though, and so to bring these monitors to GeForce gamers, and expand the G-SYNC ecosystem, we’re introducing “G-SYNC Compatible”. We will test monitors that deliver a baseline VRR experience on GeForce GTX 10-Series and GeForce RTX 20-Series graphics cards, and activate their VRR features automatically, enabling GeForce gamers to find and buy VRR monitors that will improve their gaming experience.

G-SYNC Compatible testing validates that the monitor does not show blanking, pulsing, flickering, ghosting or other artifacts during VRR gaming. They also validate that the monitor can operate in VRR at any game frame rate by supporting a VRR range of at least 2.4:1 (e.g. 60Hz-144Hz), and offer the gamer a seamless experience by enabling VRR by default.

G-SYNC Compatible monitor support will begin later this month with the launch of our first 2019 Game Ready driver. Already, 12 monitors are G-SYNC Compatible, and we’ll continue to evaluate monitors and update our support list throughout going forward.

For VRR monitors yet to be validated as G-SYNC Compatible, a new NVIDIA Control Panel option will enable owners to try and switch the tech on - it may work, it may work partly, or it may not work at all. To be sure, only purchase a monitor listed as “G-SYNC Compatible” on our site.

For the best gaming experience we recommend NVIDIA G-SYNC and G-SYNC Ultimate monitors: those with G-SYNC processors that have passed over 300 compatibility and quality tests, and feature a full refresh rate range from 1Hz to the display panel’s max refresh rate, plus other advantages like variable overdrive, refresh rate overclocking, ultra low motion blur display modes, and industry-leading HDR with 1000 nits, full matrix backlight and DCI-P3 color.

But if you’re in the market for an entry level VRR experience, the G-SYNC Compatible program gives you a ton of new purchase possibilities, and the knowledge of which monitors will deliver baseline VRR benefits with your GeForce graphics card.

Big-Screen BFGDs Deliver The Ultimate PC HDR Gaming Experience, and Can Be Pre-Ordered Now

G-SYNC HDR monitors are the very best displays for HDR gaming on PC, with 4K panels, 1000 nit peak HDR brightness, 384-zone dynamic backlights, and DCI-P3 color. In other words, the best tech, the best brightness, the best colors, and the best contrast.

In February, G-SYNC HDR’s award-winning tech will also be available in 65-inch super-sized BFGD G-SYNC HDR monitors, suitable for your living room and luxury gaming den.

The first of these will be from HP, who are launching the OMEN X 65, with a 120Hz refresh rate, 1000 nits of peak HDR luminance, all the other key HDR goodies, and a built-in NVIDIA SHIELD TV.

If you desire the biggest and best G-SYNC HDR PC gaming display, it’s available for pre-order now, with other partners’ pre-orders beginning as we approach the launch of BFGDs later this quarter.

New, Exciting G-SYNC Monitors

Last year we launched critically-acclaimed 27-inch G-SYNC HDR monitors, and later this quarter ASUS will unleash their curved 35-inch 3440x1440 G-SYNC HDR display. Like the 27-inchers, it reaches a brilliantly-bright 1000 nits, has 512 backlight zones, and best-in-class colour and contrast for the best possible HDR gaming experience.

LG has just started shipping their 34-inch 3440X1440 120Hz 34GK950G display, which is the first G-SYNC monitor to feature Nano IPS technology. Per LG, “Nano IPS involves the application of nanometer-sized particles to the screen’s LED to absorb excess light wavelengths. It greatly enhances the intensity and purity of on-screen colors.” This enables the monitor to have a color space 35% wider than RGB (98% DCI-P3), allowing more colors to be shown, and it absorbs unnecessary yellow and orange, for superior red color accuracy.

In addition, Acer will be launching a 27-inch 4K IPS 144Hz monitor, and Lenovo is giving eSports players and gamers who want high refresh rates a 27-inch 2560x1440 240Hz monitor.
Those, plus the many 1920x1080 and 2560x1440 models that are already available, mean there’s a high-quality G-SYNC display for every gamer’s needs. And new monitors are always launching every quarter.

GeForce RTX Laptops Debut, Some With G-SYNC

GeForce RTX graphics cards are the world’s fastest, and now they’re available in laptops, giving gamers the power to play any game anywhere, anytime.

There are more than 35 models in over 100 configurations launching January 29th, some of which will feature G-SYNC. Learn more in our GeForce RTX laptop article, and on the manufacturers’ websites.

Expanding The G-SYNC Ecosystem With Numerous New Displays

Whether you want a 65” gaming den behemoth with all the latest tech, the best HDR PC gaming experience around, a G-SYNC laptop, a high-quality high refresh-rate desktop gaming display, or a baseline variable refresh rate monitor, there’s now a G-SYNC display to cover every need.

CES 2017: G-SYNC HDR Monitors Just Got Better

In 2013 NVIDIA revolutionized monitor technology with the unveiling of G-SYNC, which for the first time synchronized a monitor’s refresh rate to the update rate of a GPU, eliminating screen tearing, minimizing stutter, achieving low input latency, and improving refresh rates and image quality. This seemingly-obvious but previously unachieved innovation introduced the world to super smooth gaming across the full range of a monitor’s refresh rates, from 0Hz to its max, be that 60, 100, 120, 200, or 240Hz, and kick-started a new era of development for gaming monitors. Now, PC gamers can experience the latest titles at high resolutions and ultra fast refresh rates, free of immersion-breaking screen tear and stutter, at home and on the go, with advanced features and high-quality panels that further enhance functionality and picture quality.

Today, NVIDIA ushers in the next revolution of monitor technology with the unveiling of the world’s first High Dynamic Range (HDR) PC gaming monitors, featuring 4K G-SYNC panels running at 144Hz. These new G-SYNC HDR monitors feature higher peak brightness for stunning, vivid visuals with bold saturated colors; tremendous contrast for richer, more natural dark scenes; and a wide gamut of colors close to the DCI-P3 cinema standard. With these and other advancements your favorite games, such as Mass Effect Andromeda and Shadow Warrior 2, will look more realistic than ever before, mesmerizing you with dazzling displays of color, brightness and contrast that were previously impossible to render.

Created in concert with AU Optronics, G-SYNC HDR displays are designed with the latest technologies to deliver the ultimate gaming experience, with visuals that better match the capabilities of the human eye. And unlike HDR TVs, G-SYNC HDR monitors were designed from the ground up for the ultimate PC gaming experience, with stunning image quality, tear-free and stutter-free G-SYNC smoothness, minimal motion blur, and near-zero input latency, compared to the 22-41ms of latency added by recommended HDR TVs. In addition, G-SYNC HDR monitors stand further apart from other HDR displays through the implementation of full array 384-zone backlights, and cutting-edge Quantum Dot technology.

The backlight illuminates the screen, and with 384 individually-controllable LED backlight zones, light will only be shown when and where it is required, enabling G-SYNC HDR displays to simultaneously produce bright bold colors and deep blacks, reminiscent of the very best plasma displays. Monitors with fewer backlight zones, edge-lit backlight zones, or with only a single global backlight are incapable of matching the contrast and image quality of the new 4K G-SYNC HDR monitors, and with 384 controllable zones we have unparalleled control over the picture, producing the best images you’ve ever seen on an LCD gaming display.

To further enhance the monitor we have applied a Quantum Dot Enhancement Film (QDEF), to create deep saturated reds and greens out of the blue light produced by the 384 controllable LED backlight zones. First used on high-end HDR televisions, QDEF film is coated with nano-sized dots that emit light of a very specific color depending on the size of the dot, producing bright, saturated and vibrant colors through the whole spectrum, from deep greens and reds, to intense blues. This enables a far larger set of colors to be displayed, producing pictures that more accurately reflect the scenes and colors you see in real life. The end result is a color space 25% larger than the traditional sRGB color space, close to the DCI-P3 standard used in the best digital cinemas.

With the latest LCD, backlight and Quantum Dot technologies, full HDR10 support, G-SYNC, and NVIDIA certification, the new 4K G-SYNC HDR monitors deliver the highest-quality gaming experiences every single time, with the brightest colors, darkest blacks, and smoothest gameplay, at 4K, at 144Hz, with none of the added lag found on TVs.

G-SYNC HDR monitors from ACER and ASUS will be available later this year.

HDR is a sight to behold, but impossible to accurately show on standard screens. For the best comparison look to real life - imagine blacks as dark as a night in the countryside; smooth, realistic transitions between bright lights and dark spaces; colors as vivid as those in a field full of flowers; and peaks of brightness that replicate the sunniest of days. Also imagine those scenes on a monitor with a wide gamut of colors nearly identical to those seen in the highest quality digital cinemas; with near-perfect brightness uniformity; without visible backlight bleed in dark scenes; and without the tearing and stuttering seen on traditional monitors, laptops and TVs.

These G-SYNC HDR monitors also come with support for HDR10 – the HDR format being adopted for PC gaming. And in partnership with your favorite developers, NVIDIA is getting upcoming and already-released games ready for the launch of G-SYNC HDR, such as Mass Effect: Andromeda and Shadow Warrior 2. These games are brighter, more vibrant, and even more impressive and beautiful than they already were, and in Mass Effect Andromeda nebulae will take your breath away.

Look for hands-on impressions of HDR-enabled games on your favorite tech and PC gaming websites, and for further coverage of the games and G-SYNC HDR on the https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCL-g3eGJi1omSDSz48AML-g.

Actual images may appear different on HDR-compatible displays.Like G-SYNC, expect G-SYNC HDR to evolve over time. In 2013 G-SYNC began with one 24” 144Hz 1920x1080 TN-panel monitor, and today we now have 240Hz monitors, 144Hz 4K monitors, 21:9 UltraWide monitors, curved monitors, IPS monitors, VA monitors, monitors with integrated Tobii eye-tracking, and massive 35” monitors. And in 2015 we introduced G-SYNC for laptops, followed by new models in 2016 with resolutions up to 4K, and refresh rates up to 120Hz. Now, whether you play at home or on the go, you can benefit from tear-free, smooth gaming thanks to G-SYNC.

Engineered and crafted for gamers, new G-SYNC HDR 4K, 144Hz monitors are the ultimate addition to an enthusiast gamer’s rig. The killer combination of NVIDIA’s G-SYNC and HDR technologies, and NVIDIA certification, deliver the definitive gaming experience with incredible contrast, deep saturated colors, and stunning brightness. And of course, it’s all enhanced with the hallmark quality of G-SYNC’s variable refresh rate technology, for super smooth, tear-free gaming.

If you wish to experience the next generation of PC gaming for yourself, G-SYNC HDR monitors will be available later this year from our partners at ACER and ASUS. For news of events with live demos of the monitors stay tuned to the NVIDIA GeForce, ACER and ASUS social media networks, and keep a close eye on your favorite tech sites for hands-on impressions of G-SYNC HDR from the CES show floor.
