CES 2018: The Nvidia BFGD, Because Size Does Matter
Apparently, the F stands for “Format”.
Shacknews has been moving around the 2018 Consumer Electronic Show sampling all the wares on offer, and one of the most impressive pieces of tech we got to check out was the Nvidia BFGD 65-inch monitor. The BFGD stands for “Big Format Gaming Display”, but we’ve all played DOOM, we know what it actually stands for.
The Nvidia Big Format Gaming Display (BFGD) is a monstrously large monitor for PC gaming enthusiasts everywhere. The monitor has some impressive specifications, including 4K resolution and HDR 10 support, 120Hz refresh rate, ultra-low latency, voice assist that can talk with your other home devices, and some impressive LED tech.
Above you can see Pete from the Hewlett Packard Omen Display Group talk about the Nvidia BFGD’s 1,000 nits of brightness, local dimming, and matrix LEDs that won’t affect one another – no bleeding!
There’s currently no price point for the Nvidia BFGD monitor, but we do have a release window of Fall 2018.
This new hardware comes right off the back of Nvidia’s press conference where they showed off a whole lot of improvements to computing. Drive Xavier, the world’s first autonomous machine processor, was one such announcement that was coupled with a video of an 8-mile journey of a vehicle being driven autonomously. It’s looking like 2018 is going to be a pretty big year for Nvidia – big screens, big graphics cards, and big advancements in AI. Now we just need to wait for the BFGD to show up on the Nvidia shop.

Just buy this thing, wall mount it, and move your desk back 6 feet

I was being a little facetious.
But if I had the means, my ideal setup would be an OLED version of this in my living room, with surround sound, and podium I could move in front of my couch when I feel like standing instead of lounging. I currently use a standing desk when I play PC, it's actually quite enjoyable, especially when playing games where you need to be alert like Battlefield and Street Fighter. I wouldn't want to give up the standing experience if I moved my PC to the living room.

Would you set it up like a TV or at a desk like a monitor? Stuff like this could go a long way to making HTPC's more mainstream.

Will the graphics cards needed to run this cost more than the monitor when it's released?
We need cryptocurrencies to go into full on panic crash mode to free up GPU's. I got my Radeon RX 580 8 GB for $280 back in March. Now it's going for about $600. This is fucking nuts! -
