Nvidia’s BFGD monitor delayed until 2019 and “is not a cheap machine”

Nvidia’s Big Format Gaming Displays might be delayed until Q1 2019. These gigantic G-Sync HDR gaming monitors were revealed at CES earlier this year as a follow-up to Nvidia’s also much delayed 4K HDR G-Sync monitors, and were expected to launch before the year’s up. Unsurprisingly, they are going to be incredibly expensive, too. Nvidia’s BFGD will represent the very pinnacle of gaming monitor tech once they are on the market, fitted with Nvidia’s G-Sync HDR tech for a minimum of 1,000 nits of eye-scorching action, a 65-inch 4K panel, and a 120Hz refresh rate. Nvidia has even fitted it with an Nvidia Shield Android TV for easy 4K streaming. AU Optronics will be manufacturing the panel itself, but you’ll see BFGDs from the likes of Asus, Acer, and HP Omen. We managed to catch up with the Omen team at Gamescom, who had an early engineering version at the event for us to take a look at. The monitor itself is very impressive, but all that tech looks like it will cost some serious dollar.
