NVIDIA Intros Big Format Gaming Displays, 65″ 4K Panels With G-Sync and SHIELD Built-In

Last night, NVIDIA announced BFGD (Big Format Gaming Displays) at CES. Should you already spend many hours at your computer desk playing games and doing all sorts of other work, prepare yourself for what NVIDIA believes you should have sitting in front of you from now on, especially if you get down on gaming often.

Upcoming BFGDs from select NVIDIA partners will feature a 65″ 4K panel, HDR support, 120Hz refresh rate, come with G-Sync technology, as well as all SHIELD technology built-in. That’s right, these massive displays will have access to all major content providers with their 4K content (Netflix, Amazon, YouTube, etc.), as well as Google Assistant and Android app support.

If you’re interested in all of the nitty gritty tech offered in a BFGD, the GeForce announcement page has everything you need to know.

NVIDIA details that HP, Acer, and ASUS will be making their own BFGD models, but each will come with the previously outlined specs. We don’t have specific timing or pricing yet, but is it safe to assume these displays will be not cheap? My guess is absolutely yes, and only the truest of true hardcore gamers are going to think about picking one of these up.

What’s your take on the BFGD?

  • The features sound great for gaming. But at 65″ it’s too big for a desk or to be that close to screen. I guess if you had the right set up. I hope they make it in smaller sizes.

  • couldnt see a large display like this in my face for gaming. production purposes, sure, but no way am i going to game with a tv 2 ft from my face. maybe next gen consoles? but then why would it need GSYNC?

  • Willing to chop off my willy and put it up for sale for this…..anybody interested?? Anybody?? Please ????????

  • Am I the only one that doesn’t want a 65 inch screen 2 feet or so from my face? My 55 inch 4k tv I sit about 7-9 feet from seems just right to me haha. Wouldn’t you have to move your head around a lot to see the edges of the screen if you’re playing this on a desk like in their picture? Just…doesn’t seem practical to me. But hey I’ve never tried it so guess I can’t say anything.

    • There is a trend for office work to move towards larger displays even though they are 2 feet from you. But you use things in windowed mode, NOT full screen (multiple applications in different windows). It is actually really nice.

      I could see using this for PS4, as long as the input lag is low. For serious gaming I use a monitor and play close, but maybe with this beast I wouldn’t have to.

      • You know I didn’t think about multiple applications on one big screen for office work. So used to seeing a dual monitor setup.

        And agreed, neck pain ahoy haha.
