NVIDIA Supersizes PC Gaming with New Breed of Big
Format Gaming Displays

“BFGDs” Integrate NVIDIA
G-SYNC and SHIELD to Deliver  World’s
First Giant Screen PC Gaming Experience

SINGAPORE—January 8, 2018—PC gaming
today makes the leap to a giant screen, with NVIDIA’s introduction of big
format gaming displays, or BFGDs™. 

Created in conjunction with NVIDIA hardware partners Acer, ASUS
and HP, BFGDs integrate a high-end 65-inch, 4K 120Hz HDR display with NVIDIA®
G–SYNC® technology together with NVIDIA SHIELD™,
the world’s most advanced streaming device. The combination delivers a
butterysmooth gaming experience and your favourite media streaming applications
— all on a giant screen.  

“PC
gamers expect high performance and instant response times, but, until now,
they’ve been largely limited to traditional desktop displays,” said Matt
Wuebbling, head of GeForce marketing at NVIDIA. “BFGDs change that. With
NVIDIA’s latest technology built into these new displays, PC gamers can now
experience their favorite titles in all the low-latency glory they deserve.”

At the
heart of BFGDs is the latest G-SYNC HDR technology that synchronises the
display’s 120Hz refresh rate to that of the game at every moment in time. This
G-SYNC Variable Refresh Rate technology delivers a highly responsive, smooth,
tear-free, immersive gaming experience unmatched by any display of this
size. 

Additionally,
the 4K HDR display features a full-array direct backlight, 1,000-nit peak
luminance and DCI-P3 color gamut for the ultimate in visual quality.

 

Nothing is
more important to gamers than responsive gameplay. G-SYNC technology brings the
ultra-low latency found in G-SYNC desktop gaming monitors to the BFGD when gaming
directly on the PC, Android™, another console or using NVIDIA GameStream™
technology from a desktop or laptop
gaming PC.

 

The
integration of the Android TV™-based SHIELD into BFGDs allows gamers to easily
switch between gaming and other forms of entertainment. The bundled SHIELD
remote and game controller allow for easy navigation and access to all of the
world’s biggest streaming apps, including Netflix, Amazon Video, YouTube™, and
Hulu. 

With
support for the Google Assistant, the entire experience can be controlled
simply by using your voice. G-SYNC HDR technology also supports video playback
at native framerates, including popular 23.976, 24 and 25 FPS formats. This
matches the screen’s refresh rate to the video source’s actual frame rate,
eliminating interpolation and presenting the video content as it was intended
to be viewed by the director.

BFGDs are
available for hands-on demos at CES at the NVIDIA gaming suite and ASUS ROG
showcase room at the Wynn Las Vegas by appointment only, and in the HP booth at
the Pepcom and Showstoppers press events on Monday and Tuesday evening,
respectively. General availability is expected this summer when pricing and
further specifications will be announced.
