Nvidia’s new G-Sync monitors automatically adjust brightness just like a laptop
Nvidia is bringing a new set of G-Sync Pulsar monitors to the market this week that will automatically adjust brightness and color based on the ambient lighting in a room. Much like a modern laptop, these new monitors have a built-in light sensor that measures the brightness and color temperature of an environment to enable a screen to automatically adapt to different times of day.
“In bright daylight conditions it increases brightness and shifts to a color that’s cooler in temperature,” says Michael McSorley, product marketing manager at Nvidia, in a briefing with The Verge. “At night, or in darker rooms, it reduces brightness and uses warmer tones to minimize glare and eyestrain.”
While the process is automatic, much like a laptop display, you’ll still be able to fully control how this feature works so you can fine-tune it or disable it altogether directly through the monitor’s onscreen display.
The first displays that include G-Sync Ambient Adaptive Technology will be available on January 7th, starting at $599. Acer, AOC, Asus, and MSI all have new G-Sync Pulsar monitors with this automatic brightness feature, and they’re all designed more for professional esports players. Each model is a 27-inch IPS display running at 1440p and up to 360Hz refresh rate.
Nvidia first introduced its G-Sync Pulsar monitors last year, as part of a partnership with MediaTek to integrate its current and future G-Sync features into MediaTek scalers and eliminate the need for dedicated G-Sync modules. G-Sync originally required a dedicated module in 2013 to allow it to synchronize display refresh rates to a GPU, eliminate screen tearing, and reduce display stutter and input lag.
