25th anniversary contest: tech reveal!

From CRT to cutting-edge gaming monitors

Remember the chunky CRT monitors of decades past? Boxy screens, limited colours, and a “just works” charm—but they paved the way for the powerful displays we use today.

Twenty-five years ago, monitors were simple tools for work or games. Today, they’re intelligent, high-performance hubs with fast refresh rates, HDR visuals, and adaptive-sync technology transforming how we play, create, and interact with digital worlds.

Built for users who expect more from every frame, this monitor pushes performance and visuals to the next level with next-gen Tandem OLED technology, delivering brighter highlights, richer colour, and deeper contrast through a striking TrueBlack Glossy™ finish. Every scene looks vibrant, detailed, and lifelike.

Speed takes centre stage with ultra-fast dual-mode performance, letting you switch between QHD 540Hz and HD 720Hz. Paired with a lightning-fast 0.02ms response time and G-SYNC® compatibility, gameplay stays smooth, tear-free, and incredibly responsive—whether you’re competing or multitasking.

From immersive visuals to elite-level performance, it’s a display designed to transform how you play and create.

  1. RE: the monitor (March)
    That old CRT was likely a 15-inch or 17-inch screen with a 4:3 aspect ratio.
    There is a niche, “retro-modern” equivalent with a similar aesthetic: “Beige Edition” monitors, like the MSI Modern MD272UPW in White/Off-White, that mimics the classic workspace look. A tech equivalent might be OLED Gaming Monitors, such as Alienware’s 27″ QD-OLED.
