Dell U4025QW: 5K giant with a lot of Hertz

Monitor manufacturer Dell is showing its sharpest side when it presents new products from its Ultra Sharp series at CES 2024. At the top of the line-up of business and premium models is the 40-inch U4025QW. The office giant is said to have an ultra-sharp 5120×2160 pixel resolution (i.e. in 5K) and offer a refresh rate of 120 Hertz. The high frame rate should ensure buttery-smooth mouse movements. This is a small revolution, because 4K or 5K monitors for the office are currently only available with 60, 72 or 75 Hertz.

Dell U3425W: Perfect for the office

Also in the Dell portfolio: The U3425WE, which is slightly smaller at 34 inches. The work monitor “only” has a resolution of 3440×1440 pixels (so-called UWQHD), but should also be equipped with a refresh rate of 120 Hertz. Further details about Dell’s new Ultra Sharp monitors can be found here. Are you still looking for a high-quality 27-inch device for your home office? Then the Dell U2723QE might be worth a look. SamaGame had it 4K monitor in the test.

Lenovo ThinkVision 27 3D: The special one

Lenovo breaks the norm with the ThinkVision 27 3D. With a refresh rate of 60 Hertz, the business monitor should offer a 27-inch IPS panel with 4K resolution. The special? The monitor shows content in three dimensions – without the need for 3D glasses. According to the manufacturer’s press release, the screen projects two independent images onto the user’s eyes, so that each eye sees the subject from a slightly different angle.

Samsung Odyssey OLED G6, G8 and G9

There is a real supply of gaming monitors. Manufacturer Samsung has three new Odyssey models in its luggage for CES 2024. The flagship is called Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 and comes with a huge screen diagonal of 49 inches (that’s 1.24 meters!). The resolution is 5120×1440 pixels (double WQHD), the refresh rate is a whopping 240 Hertz. It reveals whether you have to use the RTX 4090 for this detailed test of the OLED G9. Other new additions with an OLED panel are the Odyssey OLED G6 and the Odyssey OLED G8. While Lenovo wants to give the G8 a 32-inch diagonal and 4K resolution, the G6 will most likely come with WQHD resolution and a fast 360 Hertz. More You can read information about the three Odyssey OLEDs here.

Acer Predator Z57

Hardware manufacturer Acer is pulling out all the stops at CES 2024 and is presenting four Daddel umbrellas from the Predator series at the trade fair. As a competitor to Samsung’s Odyssey Neo G9, Acer is sending the Predator Z57 into the race. With an insane size of 57 inches, it should offer the maximum gaming experience and a resolution of 7680×2160 pixels (double 4K). Compared to the Neo G9, which achieves 240 Hertz, the Z57 “already” clocks in at 120 Hertz.

Acer Predator X34 V3

Compared to the Z57, the Predator X34 V3 is almost a dwarf. According to Acer, the 34-inch monitor will show game content with 3440×1440 pixels (UWQHD) and deliver a refresh rate of 180 Hertz.

Acer Predator X39 and X34

In addition to conventional display technology, Acer has equipped two models with OLED screens: the Acer Predator X39 and the Acer Predator X34 X. The technology is known for perfect black, brilliant colors and short switching times. Both should have a resolution of UWQHD, i.e. 3440×1440 pixels, and deliver a refresh rate of up to 240 Hertz. More Details about the new Predator models can be found here.

Asus ROG Swift OLED PG39WCDM

Manufacturer Asus has not remained idle either, but has breathed new life into its ROG series (“Republic of Gamers”) just in time for CES 2024. Starting for Asus: the ROG Swift OLED PG39WCDM, the ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDP and the ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDP. Acer equips all ROG Swift models with OLED technology. But what’s special is the high refresh rate.

Asus ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDP and PG27AQDP

The 32-inch PG32UCDP is supposed to let content flash across the display at 240 Hertz with 4K resolution. If you reduce the resolution to Full HD (1920×1080 pixels), you should even get a frame rate of 480 Hertz. The 27-inch PG27AQDP should also be able to achieve 480 Hertz. However, it is still unclear at what resolution. However, the resolution is clear on Acer’s largest OLED monitor, the ROG Swift OLED PG39WCDM. According to the manufacturer, the 39-inch device will be launched with 3440×1440 pixels and a frame rate of 240 Hertz on the panel.

MSI MPG 491CQP

Gaming expert MSI isn’t going anywhere and is presenting three new Daddel umbrellas at CES 2024. All are equipped with OLED displays from Samsung (so-called QD-OLEDs). The 49-inch MPG 491CQP is a direct competitor to Samsung’s OLED G9: the MPG 491CQP also shows content with 5120×1440 pixels – unlike the OLED G9, however, it stops at 144 Hertz.

MSI MPG 321URX and MPG 271QRX

The MPG 321URX, which shows 3840×2160 pixels (i.e. 4K) and has a lot of power at 240 Hertz, can top this. MSI saves the highest frame rate for its smallest model: the QD-OLED panel of the 271QRX delivers a full 360 Hertz. Only WQHD (2560×1440 pixels) works for this.

LG UltraGear 32GS95UE

LG is really pushing the envelope with its new UltraGear 32GS95UE. The gaming monitor is 32 inches in size and shows content in crisp 4K (3840×2160 pixels) – at a frame rate of 240 Hertz. If desired, the monitor even refreshes the image 480 times per second. As with Acer’s ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDP, you have to put up with Full HD (1920×1080 pixels) in return.

LG UltraGear 34GS95QE and 39GS95QE

Can it be a little wider? Then it might be worth taking a look at the UltraGear 34GS95QE or the UltraGear 39GS95QE. Both gaming monitors have a resolution of 3440×1440 pixels (i.e. UWQHD) and deliver 240 Hertz. Other UltraGear models are called 45GS95QE, 45GS96QB and 27GS95QE. While the first two are equipped with an ultra-wide 45-inch diagonal, the 27GS95QE has to make do with 27 inches. The resolution is WQHD (for the 27GS95QE) or UWQHD (for the 45GS95QE and 45GS96QB).

Deal : Trade Republic card: Apply for a new credit card with a waiting list via the app

Trade Republic is celebrating its fifth anniversary with a credit card: The new Trade Republic card is free and offers cashback – or saveback, as the broker calls it. Payments via the app are currently still carried out via a waiting list.

Upon receipt of the Full banking license Last December it was clear that Trade Republic wanted to expand its offering beyond interest accounts and trading stocks, ETFs, bonds and cryptocurrencies. And now it’s starting: Trade Republic is now offering its customers a free credit card. And it stands out from the competition with one feature in particular: cashback for investing in stocks, ETFs and crypto. With every card payment you get 1 percent of the amount incurred back. But not in the form of a payout or points, but as an increase for a securities savings plan of your choice. Trade Republic calls this saveback. The saveback amounts can also be rounded up immediately after payment so that more money ends up in the savings plan.

Trade Republic: Visa payment card free

The Trade Republic credit card is specifically a debit card from Visa. It comes with no monthly or annual fees and comes as either a virtual or physical card. If you want to have something in your hand when paying, you can get a Mirror (50 euros) or Classic card (5 euros) for a one-off issuing fee. Applying for the virtual card is completely free. When withdrawing cash, there are costs of 1 euro for amounts under 100 euros; there are no fees for larger amounts. Top: For transactions in foreign currencies, Trade Republic does not want to charge a surcharge on the currency exchange rates. This makes the card also suitable for withdrawals while on vacation. The card is linked to the Trade Republic deposit clearing account to which it is linked currently 4 percent interest pa gives. Savings are also worthwhile here.

Trade Republic: Apply for a card with a waiting list

The Trade Republic credit card is not there yet. Customers can first register on a waiting list. The option appears in the Trade Republic app when you install the latest update. Some users pointed out that only uninstalling and reinstalling the app brings up the desired option. Trade Republic wants to gradually release the card to interested parties in the coming weeks.

Trade Republic: On course for growth

The announcement of the credit card comes on the fifth anniversary of the German neobroker. The company now has four million customers in 17 countries. According to the company’s own information, the assets under management amount to around 35 billion euros. According to Handelsblatt Trade Republic also wants to introduce even more account functions as part of the credit card. Accordingly, standing orders or transfers should be possible at some point.

Trade Palia? Request and exchange items?


Can you also trade in the new Palia? How to give and gift an item to a player? What is the item request and how can you exchange an item? One or two players of the new Palia who have already played with other players or friends may have been dealing with this question in the last few days. It often happens that you are looking for an item that a friend or other player already has and would like to give up. But how does trading in Palia work?

Trading in Palia?

Even if you can’t interact and trade directly with another player in the current version of Palia, at least not if you face each other directly and try to interact like in other MMOs, there is a somewhat hidden feature and those are the so-called Requests. With the requests you can ask other players on the server for an item as well as help other players and give them an item. The “Request” feature works as follows in the cozy MMO Palia.

Use Requests: Give and trade items

  1. Press the O key in Palia to open the “Friendships” window.
  2. In the “Friendships” window, click on the tab with the shopping cart icon and open “Requests”.
  3. Under the requests you can now request an item that you are currently looking for, or you can look at the open orders from other players and give them the items you are looking for. As a reward for fulfilling the requests and gifting the items, you will receive a small amount of reputation.

As mentioned above, the requests only work via the Friendship menu and not when you are face to face and try to interact with each other using the E key. The function around trading and giving items via the requests is also part of the “Prove Your Generosity” in which you have to help out five players.
