We’ve seen the rumors and speculation about an Apple TV, but it turns out NVIDIA beat them to the punch. At CES today, the company unveiled its « Big Format Gaming Displays » (BFGDs), monstrous 65-inch 4K HDR screens with a ton of embedded technology. That includes NVIDIA’s own G-SYNC and built in Shield functionality, as well as 120Hz panels and low latency. And no, this isn’t meant for your living room — NVIDIA envisions people using them on their PC desks.
NVIDIA is partnering with ASUS, Acer and HP to build these displays — a particularly interesting group of partners, since they don’t have experience building big-screen displays. As far as other screen technology goes, they feature full-array backlighting, a peak brightness of 1,000 nits, and full DCI-P3 color gamut support. With their built-in SHIELD support, they’ll do everything NVIDIA’s set-top box can, and they’ll also come with the company’s remote and gaming controller.
Naturally, there aren’t any pricing details yet. NVIDIA is showing off BFGDs at CES, and we plan to get a look at them soon. The company says we can expect the displays in the summer, along with more information about specs and pricing.
