New tech was showcased at CEATEC 2024 earlier in the week.

The ULED X Mini boasts a 4K Ultra HD LED display with a 120Hz refresh rate (or 144Hz with VRR enabled). The screen utilizes quantum dot technology for enhanced color reproduction, along with Hisense's Full Array Local Dimming Pro system, which divides the backlight into 40,960 dimming zones. This allows for an impressive 10,000 nit peak brightness while still delivering deep, inky blacks.

The Steam Deck 2 might be significantly faster than its predecessor.
