CES 2024 was a glorious show for monitors that reinforced the best trends of 2023. A new generation of OLED panels from Samsung and LG hit the show floor, and with them come higher resolutions, higher refresh rates, and improved peak brightness in HDR.
But the show wasn’t entirely dominated by big, expensive OLED gaming monitors. Acer brought a 57-inch super-ultrawide Mini-LED and MSI had a practical 24-inch 4K office monitor with USB-C Power Delivery.
These are the best monitors of CES 2024.

Samsung Odyssey G8 OLED (G80SD)

The Samsung Odyssey G80SD is easily the most important monitor at the show, though not necessarily because of the monitor itself. The spotlight instead shines on Samsung’s 4K 240Hz QD-OLED panel. It’s a sharp, stunning, high-contrast display with beautiful color and excellent motion clarity, and it will appear in several other monitors in this list.
With that said, there’s plenty to like besides the panel. Samsung’s Odyssey monitors have veered towards a practical and professional look in recent years, and that’s a plus. The G80SD looks superb and includes a great ergonomic stand that provides a wide range of adjustment but doesn’t take up too much space on your desk. The monitor also has two HDMI 2.1 ports, one DisplayPort, and a USB hub (though no USB-C).
Availability and pricing has not been announced. Given the price of other monitors with this panel, however, I expect it to fall between $1,000 and $1,300.
Samsung Odyssey G6 OLED (G60SD)

If the Odyssey G8 OLED is all about image quality, the Odyssey G6 OLED is all about motion clarity. It retains the 27-inch panel size and 1440p resolution common to OLED monitors in 2023, but kicks the refresh rate up to 360Hz.
And, yea, it looks super-crisp. OLED panels have a baked-in motion clarity advantage over other panel types thanks to their low pixel response times. Put simply, the pixels on an OLED monitor change more quickly, which in turn reduces motion blur at any given refresh rate. It’s not the best available from an OLED (that honor goes to another monitor on this list), but it’s excellent.
Pricing and availability hasn’t been announced, but I expect a price around $1,000 or less.
Asus ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDP

The Asus ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDP is a 27-inch 1440p OLED monitor with a frankly shocking 480Hz refresh rate. It’s not alone in this accomplishment (LG, which makes the OLED panel, also has an as-yet-unnamed 480Hz monitor), but the Asus’ variant has a more alluring design.
A 480Hz refresh rate is double the 240Hz common to last year’s OLED monitors, and wow,
