At CES 2026, TVs Chase Extreme Brightness as PC Monitors Double Down on OLED Speed

Most TV brightness claims shown at CES remain unverified demos.

The existing LG Ultragear 45GX950A is also a 5K2K OLED, but with lower pixel density and, arguably, excessive 800R curve.
Gigabyte's HyperNits is very likely the same or very similar to MSI's EOTF Boost feature.

Overview

  • Samsung and LG announced TV OLED panel tech claiming around 4,500‑nit peaks, while TCL’s X11L mini‑LED touted up to 10,000 nits and tens of thousands of local dimming zones.
  • Samsung’s 130‑inch Micro RGB R95H and Hisense’s cyan‑augmented RGCB backlights highlighted multi‑primary approaches aimed at full or expanded BT.2020 color coverage.
  • GIGABYTE unveiled four OLED gaming monitors and introduced HyperNits, a tuning feature that can boost HDR brightness by up to 30% while preserving highlight detail.
  • The new GIGABYTE models prioritize refresh rate and clarity—up to 360Hz on a 34‑inch ultrawide 4K QD‑OLED, 240Hz at 4K on 32 inches, and two 27‑inch 1440p panels at 280Hz—plus V‑stripe sub‑pixels and ObsidianShield anti‑glare film.
  • Coverage notes that TV‑level peak nits will not map directly to PC monitors soon, with monitors expected around 1,500‑nit peaks due to pixel density and burn‑in risks, and many specs and prices still pending independent verification.
