Standalone monitors don’t always attract the amount of fanfare they deserve. New processors from Intel and fast GPUs from Nvidia are always exciting, but monitors are the devices we end up looking at for hours during the day.
More information about CES 2019
Whether you’re a professional gamer who demands low latency, a master multitasker who wants to go ultra-wide, or a multimedia enthusiast who wants the biggest screen they can find, CES provided a number of impressive and attractive choices for your next desktop monitor.
Razer Raptor 27

The name of Razer’s first gaming monitor is enough to grab your attention, but the impressive attention to detail is what keeps your eyes glued. On the outside, the Raptor 27 is a beautifully crafted 27-inch HDR 144 Hz monitor surrounded by machined aluminum. Gamers will immediately take advantage of its built-in Razer Chroma RGB lighting for a bit of immersion while gaming, while cable management geeks will enjoy the monitor’s back slots that let you run cables down the back of the monitor to keep your desk clean. The only thing currently missing from this monitor is a VESA mount. As of now, the monitor is an early production design and subject to change, but will start at $700 later this year.
Lenovo ThinkVision P44w

If you’re wondering how a business monitor can make it onto this list, then you’re probably not alone, but Lenovo has pulled it off with this 44-inch ultrawide monitor. The ThinkVision P44w is just one of several impressive displays Lenovo showed off here at CES 2019, including the Legion Y44FW, which offers identical specs. But then why single out the ThinkVision P44w as a top monitor? Coming with the same specs as its legion gaming counterpart — 3,840 x 1,200 resolution with a 144Hz refresh rate and 4ms response time — the P44w offers a $100 lower price and a drop-down front-facing USB hub. For those wondering, this business monitor does indeed have a VESA mount in its design.
Samsung space monitor

This Samsung monitor will not take you to space, but with its design it certainly reached for the stars and landed on planetary minimalism. Available in two variants, a 27-inch QHD display or a 32-inch 4K UHD display, the Space Monitor’s slim design with a black frame sits flush against the back of your desk, but can easily be pulled forward thanks to its hinged design. Of course, you can’t have a monitor aimed at minimalism without strict cable management, so the unit allows excess wires to be routed through the monitor’s support arm. With the larger of the two options at $500, the Space Monitor is ideal for the minimalist PC or Mac enthusiast.
49-inch LG Ultrawide

If you don’t have a super-wide desk, you’ll need to choose one before picking up LG’s 49-inch ultra-wide monitor. With an absolutely massive screen, the LG UltraWide comes in a 32:9 aspect ratio and has a curved screen to boot. 5120 x 2160 will make gaming an exciting challenge if your computer can handle the pixels; additionally, 99 percent of the sRGB color space and 98 percent of the DCI-P3 color gamut will be welcomed by designers and editors alike. LG includes its Dual Controller software with the monitor so users can easily control a handful of different connected devices at once. Pricing and availability aren’t available yet, but we don’t expect this beauty to drop into the budget category anytime soon.
HP Omen X Emperium

When does a computer monitor stop being a desktop computer and instead turn into a full-fledged living room television? HP may be trying to blur the line with its latest release, the HP Omen X Emperium. An incredibly massive 65-inch gaming display, the X Emperium features 4K resolution with HDR support and an impressive 4ms supporting 144Hz refresh rates. The package also includes a built-in sound bar for impressive sound right after opening. Features such as Nvidia G-Sync support and integrated RGB lighting are also included. If you’re looking to pick up the HP Omen X Emperium after CES, be sure to save up because it’ll cost $5,000 when it comes out.
Alienware 55-inch OLED

Dell’s gaming brand, Alienware, also decided to review the monitor at CES; here comes another monster-sized 55-inch display, aimed at gamers with deep pockets and an appreciation for subtle RGB lighting. Most impressively, aside from the sheer size of the screen, is that it brings an OLED panel to the party, making Dell the first company to release an OLED gaming monitor. Monitors with OLED technology can control the power of individual pixels, which typically results in much brighter images with improved contrast levels. The design is pure Alienware and follows the company’s current Legend industrial design language. Availability, additional technical details and prices are yet to come.
