CES doesn’t officially kick off until today, January 6, 2026, but display manufacturers have already started teasing the screens that could shape the year ahead for gamers and home theater enthusiasts alike. From record-setting refresh rates to wafer-thin TVs and next-gen 3D gaming monitors, the early reveals are already making waves. Here’s a look at some of the coolest TVs and gaming monitors expected to turn heads at CES 2026.
1. Samsung Odyssey G6 (1,040 Hz World-First Refresh Rate)
Also in Samsung’s arsenal is the Odyssey G6, a 27-inch gaming monitor that claims a world-first 1,040 Hz refresh rate in Dual Mode. Native QHD support at up to 600 Hz, plus AMD FreeSync Premium and Nvidia G-Sync Compatible support, makes this one a dream for competitive gamers who chase every millisecond of responsiveness.
2. ASUS ROG OLED PG34WCDN (Ultrawide OLED Gaming Monitor)
ASUS is bringing an exciting lineup of OLED gaming displays featuring RGB Stripe OLED pixel tech for improved clarity and color precision. The 34-inch ROG Swift OLED PG34WCDN combines a curved WQHD QD-OLED panel with a 360 Hz refresh rate and near-instant response times, making it ideal for both immersive single-player worlds and fast-paced multiplayer action.
3. ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27UCWM (Dual-Mode 4K/480 Hz Display)
For players who want it all, the PG27UCWM delivers dual-mode performance: 4K at 240 Hz or Full HD at 480 Hz. Its dual-purpose design lets gamers enjoy cinematic visuals in single-player adventures or blisteringly high refresh rates for competitive play, all on a single panel.
4. Samsung Odyssey 3D (6K Glasses-Free Gaming Monitor)
Samsung’s headline-grabbing new monitor is the Odyssey 3D (G90XH), a 32-inch display with 6K resolution and glasses-free 3D that uses eye-tracking to adjust depth in real time. It supports a 165 Hz baseline refresh rate that can double to 330 Hz via Dual Mode, along with a 1 ms response time, delivering cutting-edge visuals and competitive performance for games that support the technology. This could be the most futuristic gaming monitor we’ve seen yet.
5. LG UltraGear evo 39″ 5K2K (AI Upscaling Gaming Monitor)
LG’s UltraGear evo series enters CES 2026 display tech with several jaw-dropping options, but the 39-inch 5K2K (39GX950B) stands out. With dual-mode refresh (165 Hz native, 330 Hz at lower resolution) and built-in AI 5K upscaling, this ultrawide promises stunning detail and smooth motion without forcing every game to run natively at 5K. It’s a true high-fidelity gaming centerpiece.
6. LG 27″ 720 Hz OLED Gaming Panel (Next-Gen Speed Meets OLED)
LG Display is showcasing a world-first OLED gaming panel that delivers 720 Hz, an unprecedented refresh rate in OLED technology. With motion blur virtually eliminated and instantaneous response times, this monitor could redefine fast-paced gaming visuals for OLED fans.
7. LG OLED evo W6 “Wallpaper” TV (Ultra-Thin and Flush Mount)
TVs get just as wild at CES. LG’s OLED evo W6 brings back the Wallpaper OLED concept in a new form, featuring a body just 9 mm thick and a design that mounts flush to the wall using the Zero Connect Box system. It supports up to 165 Hz refresh rates, FreeSync Premium, and G-Sync compatibility, making it as friendly to console gaming as streaming and cinematic content.
These previews, spanning ultra-high refresh rates, AI upscaling, glasses-free 3D, and unbelievably thin TV design, suggest CES 2026 display tech could be one of the most exciting ever for gamers and display tech alike. Keep an eye on the show floor from January 6–9, 2026, when these screens and more will be on full display in Las Vegas.
