Latest: Ces 2026: All The Upcoming Releases And Announcements A PC Gamer...
CES 2026 is nearly in full swing. Through this week, Las Vegas will be stuffed with the nerdiest people you know talking about, well, mostly AI. Though we do expect some promising new developments for PC gaming, with AMD's CEO Dr. Lisa Su delivering a keynote address to open the show on January 5.
We have a reporter on the ground. They'll be sending back info on the latest gadgets, gizmos, and gaming paraphernalia they find as they traverse the many halls and hotels that make up the massive event. I'll update this page with everything we hear from the show over the next few days—and I aim to keep it to just the good stuff.
Love this Cyberpower PC case with knobs on. It's called the MA-01.
It's still early days for CES 2026. However, some brands like to get ahead of the wave of announcements. Brands like Samsung, and to a greater extent, LG—likely to get ahead of Samsung.
Both have announced new OLED panels using RGB stripe subpixel layouts. It sounds boring—and I guess it kinda is—but the use of a slightly abnormal subpixel layout on OLED gaming monitors leads to some slight rendering issues with OLED panels. By adopting a vertical stripe subpixel layout, called RGB stripe by LG and V-Stripe by Samsung, both companies are able to provide panels that no longer run into issues with text.
Samsung has a 34-inch, 360 Hz QD-OLED panel ready to go using the new subpixel layout. Though you'll want to look out for MSI, Asus, and Gigabyte models; these companies are first in line to actually use the panel in their products.
Meanwhile, LG has a new 4K, 27-inch OLED panel ready to roll, which offers dual-mode functionality for 240 Hz at 4K or 480 Hz at 1080p.
Hey, great timing. AMD's Dr. Lisa Su will kick off CES 2026 with a keynote at 6:30 PM PT, January 5.
You can watch it live below, or check the replay after the event.
I won't make it out to be something it's not. I suspect we'll hear a lot about AI at the event, considering AMD's position in the market behind Nvidia, and the fact the event is called 'together we advance_AI'.
