NXT - July 2024

この号では

The July 2024 Edition of NXT is here and it's packed with exciting content about monitors, microphones, and webcams for gaming and productivity. In today's interconnected world, where gaming and work often blend, choosing the right hardware is essential. The quality of your monitor greatly influences your visual experience. IPS panels offer vibrant colours and wide viewing angles, making them perfect for both work and gaming. TN panels provide fast response times, ideal for competitive gaming, while VA panels strike a balance between image quality and response time. OLED panels deliver outstanding image quality with deep blacks and vivid colours. Higher refresh rates, such as 120Hz, 144Hz, and 240Hz, improve gaming by reducing motion blur. Dual-purpose monitors like ultrawide and 4K displays offer immersive and productive experiences, and curved screens help reduce eye strain.
Over in Test, from page 81, we got to try the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12, which comes with optimised performance with dedicated AI engines, before we got our hands on the Citroën ë-C4 X, an EV boasting an estimated range of 436 km on a single charge. Lastly, NXT Big Thing, we look at how the next five years will be a period of rapid innovation and growth for consumer monitors.
