This gaming monitor has a feature that I've never seen before in a display: a slot that you can jam a full graphics card into
Overview & Key Takeaways
Would you ever game on an all-in-one machine?
Here's a short tech support horror story for you: you're chatting with someone—maybe a not very tech-savvy relative—and they tell you, 'It's the darndest thing. I bought a whole new computer, and I just can't seem to log in.' Because you hate to see them struggle, you agree to take a look. But gazing upon their setup, that's when it hits you: they bought a cheap monitor thinking it was an all-in-one PC. Well, an exhibit at this year's Computex had me doing a double-triple take because it's actually an all-in-one PC and it boasts room for a graphics card.
The LP-3201 from Loop is a nostalgically chunky 32-inch WQHD monitor with a slot in the back that can accommodate graphics cards measuring up to 330mm in length. A sales representative told Hermitage Akihabara that the slot is best suited to Nvidia's SFF standard geared towards small form factor PCs.
What's especially neat about the LP-3201 is that it should be way more upgradeable than your average all-in-one PC. Typical AIO systems use laptop components in order to cram all of their hardware into a small space (such as the back of a monitor) and keep it cool.

As such, the average AIO only lets you upgrade maybe the DRAM or SSD, at most. The LP-3201 isn't so typical in this regard, in that it looks like a mostly normal PC that's been clown car-ed into the back of a monitor. As such, all of its guts should be just as upgradeable as a regular tower PC.
On the show floor, Loop exhibited the LP-3201 all-in-one PC with what appeared to be the Asus Prime GeForce RTX 5070 OC Edition. The sizeable Asus ROG Astral 50-series graphics cards are slightly too long to fit, and you'll definitely fail to crowbar in the even beefier ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 Edition 20 that was also announced during Computex.

Beyond the GPU, the showpiece's guts include a Micro ATX motherboard and the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K CPU (an Arrow Lake chip). Somehow, Loop has also found room for a liquid cooling system and an 800W PSU, too. To keep everything cool, there are pretty sizable air vents lining the back side of the monitor.
As for, you know, the monitor part of the LP-3201, you're getting 32 inches with a resolution of 2,560 x 1,440. The screen also enjoys a decent refresh rate of 180Hz to boot. It even comes in a gamer goo shade of bright green. You can class up the green version with wooden panelling across the air vents at the back, but a more traditional black colourway is available too.

Though currently sold as a bare-bones product (i.e., bring your own 330mm GPU, SSD, OS, etc) for the Chinese market, Loop is apparently interested in expanding into the Japanese market, so there's potential for it to travel further around the world.
Loop already offers a curved monitor with a similar all-in-one system (GPU included) called the LP 3200 AIO. That said, I'm a little unclear on whether you can pick this up in the US currently, or whether its successor, the LP-3201, will ever come Stateside.
