Nvidia unveiled its big format gaming displays (BFGDs) during CES 2018, which it created in conjunction<\/strong><\/a> with Acer, ASUS, and HP.<\/p>\n

The 65-inch, 4K 120Hz HDR displays feature Nvidia G-Sync and Shield, and are aimed at the high-end gaming market.<\/p>\n

To show off the capabilities of the displays, including their support for high dynamic range, Nvidia displayed screenshots of Middle-earth: Shadow of War and live gameplay from Destiny 2.<\/p>\n

The photos of Shadow of War with and without HDR, posted below, don\u2019t do it justice \u2013 the visuals were stunning.<\/p>\n

In the first set of screenshots, the shadows, lighting, and smoke with HDR were brilliant in comparison to the non-HDR image.<\/p>\n

In the second set, the mountain and lava are flat without HDR in comparison to when HDR was enabled.<\/p>\n

Destiny 2<\/h3>\n

The Destiny 2 demonstration was running on a PC with a GeForce 1080 Ti with the graphics settings cranked to the maximum.<\/p>\n

This means the game was not running at 60 frames per second, as achieving 60fps at 4K requires two 1080 Ti\u2019s running in SLI.<\/p>\n

Allowing the demo to run at a lower frame rate let Nvidia show off its G-Sync technology, however.<\/p>\n

Destiny 2 therefore handled well in large outdoor areas and inside buildings, and looked gorgeous on the Nvidia BFGD monitor.<\/p>\n

The images below show Destiny 2 running on an HP OMEN and ASUS ROG Nvidia-powered BFGD.<\/p>\n

The new Nvidia displays feature a full-array direct backlight, 1,000-nit luminance, and DCI-P3 colour gamut for high visual quality.<\/p>\n

Availability is expected in mid-2018, when pricing and full specifications will be announced.<\/p>\n
