Almost 55 inches diagonal, 4K resolution and Android TV, so maybe it’s better to put it in the living room.

Gigabyte announced a new monitorAlthough the S55U is more of a television, and not just because of its size, but because of the features it offers, it doesn’t quite meet the standard one would expect from a high-performance computer monitor, but are there others left? better than a peripheral for the living room.

What we mean is that it has a panel. 54.6 inches with 4K resolution, 120Hz refresh and a 2ms gray-to-gray response time for starters. Marketing-wise, it sells competitively, of course, but it’s made for anyone who’s truly committed and has an eye for these areas. 144 Hz maybe looks a bit raw. Now, having overcome this first moment of positioning ourselves, we can continue to talk about other features.

In terms of connectivity, it works with two HDMI 2.1 (48G, eARC) , two HDMI 2.0, two USB 3.2 Gen 1, one USB 2.0, one mini-jack headphone jack, one Ethernet port, 802.11ac WiFi connectivity (ie not WiFi 5 and more advanced 6) and Bluetooth. On the other hand, it uses its huge framework to present. a pair of 10W speakers Compatible with Dolby Atmos/DTS HD.

Now it makes the most sense in a room like a big TV game For consoles like the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X to take advantage of that 120 Hertz (and we currently remember the Sony Inzone monitor for your PC), this is: Has built-in Android TVGoogle platform that brings together a large collection of entertainment apps so you don’t miss out on the option to watch your favorite TV shows and movies.
