AUO shows 34 “gaming monitor with curvature of 800R

Display manufacturer AU Optronics has shown several new monitors for gamers as part of SID Display Week 2021. The company is launching, among other things, a 34 “monitor with a curvature of 800R.

The monitor showing AUO has an aspect ratio of 21: 9 and a resolution of 3440×1440 pixels. The maximum refresh rate is 165Hz. The most striking feature is the curvature of 800R, which equals the curvature of a circle with a radius of 800cm.

This means that the panel shows a stronger bend than most curved gaming monitors.

AUO itself is also announcing a new monitor with a 1000R curvature. This is a 27 “model with resolution of 2560×1440 pixels and refresh rate of 240Hz.

The manufacturer also showed a 25 “monitor with a refresh rate of 360Hz. This monitor has a relatively low resolution of 1920×1080 pixels and an AHVA panel. AHVA stands for Advanced Hyper-Viewing Angle, AUO’s name for ips. Another AUO game monitor gets a slightly lower frame rate, 300Hz, but this model has a screen diagonal of 27 inches and a resolution of 2560×1440 pixels.The company provides this monitor with a matte layer.

Finally, in its video about the SID Display Week 2021 announcements, AUO shows a 17.3 “display for laptops with mini LEDs. This display offers a brightness of 1180cd / m² and can bear the HDR1000 label. The panel can adjust the brightness. in 512 zones and offers a 4k resolution in combination with a refresh rate of 120Hz.

It is not yet known when monitor and laptop manufacturers can purchase the panels and what prices can be expected for the final products.
