Red Magic today held a major launch event in China, where it unveiled its latest gaming smartphone— the Red Magic 8S Pro. The device is a literal beast with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor and 24GB of RAM (the first phone to get this much RAM). The company also unveiled a new 49-inch QD-OLED gaming monitor at the launch with a curved screen and a 240Hz refresh rate. Here are the details.
Red Magic’s new monitor is a gamer’s paradise
The new Red Magic gaming monitor comes with some over-the-top features. It boasts a 49-inch curved giant screen with a ratio of 32:9. It gets a curvature of 1800R, offering a good balance between being too curved and not curved enough. Further, the monitor features a resolution of 5120 x 1440 pixels and TRUE BLACK 400 certification, meaning it can display very deep blacks. There’s a 99% DCI-P3 color gamut as well.
The monitor utilizes Samsung’s QD-OLED (quantum dot OLED) technology, which offers several advantages such as high brightness and vibrant colors. In comparison to other OLED panels, QD-OLED panels offer better color richness and are capable of displaying a wider range of colors. The Red Magic display has a high refresh rate of 240Hz, a fast response of 0.03ms, and is compatible with FREE-SYNC and G-SYNC (technologies that reduce screen tearing and stuttering).
There are two built-in 5W speakers as well as a noise-reduction mic. In terms of ports, the new display has 1 HDMI 2.1, 1 DP 1.4, and 1 Type-C, which supports one-key projection and 90W reverse charging.
The monitor packs some impressive specifications that should make it an ideal option for gamers. Red Magic hasn’t announced the pricing and availability of the monitor yet, so we can’t say how good of a deal it would be.
