When building a gaming PC or desktop setup, understandably, most of the focus is placed on the main components — the computer, the desk, the primary monitor, and the peripherals. But one thing I always recommend, provided there’s space, is to grab a secondary monitor. It gives you extra screen real estate to work on multiple monitors, has extra apps open while you’re playing games or watching something, and just goes very well with the multi-task approach of powerful desktop rigs. Even if you have a laptop, though, a second monitor is always a good idea. Dell’s S2725DS 27-inch QHD monitor is on sale today for $150 — normally $220 — which stands as a great price even when comparing it to the best monitor deals. That saves you $70, but also gets you a new QHD monitor for about the same price as a really nice keyboard and mouse set.
If you don’t need a monitor, don’t shop it. But if you do need a new monitor, primary or secondary, or you want to upgrade, here you go. It’s that simple. Realistically, the discounted $150 price is an excellent offer especially since this panel supports a maximum resolution of 2560 by 1440 at a high 100HZ variable refresh rate. Dual 5-watt integrated speakers add immersive audio if you use the audio through the monitor, and this monitor is 4-star TÜV Rheinland certified for eye comfort.
It also has two HDMI (HDCP 1.4) ports and a single DisplayPort 1.2. It rests atop a height-adjustable stand, supports tilt, swivel, and pivot movements, and is VESA mount-ready for the 100mm configuration. It’s not packed to the brim with RGB lighting or anything crazy, but it does feature a stylish and tasteful design with a finish inspired by Japanese sand raking.
Ultimately, it’s a versatile 27-inch monitor that would be great for media and entertainment, light gaming, graphic design visual artwork, and much more. As a secondary monitor, it’s really going to let you have some time to stretch out your legs with great visual fidelity, even if you’re connecting a laptop.
All-in, this is normally $220, but thanks to the current deal, Dell is letting you have it for $150, which is $70 off. Regardless of the discount, $150 is an excellent price for a 27-inch QHD monitor. I wouldn’t wait around to grab this one if you’re interested. You’ll find yourself happy you expanded, too, if this is your first time adding a second monitor to the mix.
Did you think hitting delete on your AI chatbot conversation actually makes it disappear? Georgia Tech researchers just proved that's not entirely true. They have built a forensic tool called ORISA that can dig deleted conversations from your phone and even rebuild them into a working chatbot session you can keep talking to.
How can ORISA bring deleted AI conversations back?
Touchscreen laptops have been around for years. You can get them in all sizes and shapes. Just not from Apple. For years, the Cupertino giant has treated the idea of a touchscreen MacBook the way I treat a meeting that could have been an email: with open contempt. However, Wednesday looks like the day the company could finally change its mind.
The latest Apple invite puts the “Pro and Tell” showcase in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on October 28, 2026. Instead of a regular live-streamed keynote, it is an invitation-only, hands-on event for a handful of press and creators (similar to what the company did for the MacBook Neo earlier this year).
Two residents of Chicago have filed a lawsuit in the US over claims that robots run by Coco Robotics and Serve Robotics captured their facial and hand measurements without consent, bringing renewed attention to the food delivery robots. The cases raise a troubling question: If a robot delivers food to your door, can it also be gathering sensitive information about you?
According to a report by The Associated Press, the proposed class-action lawsuits were filed in Cook County on Oct. 9 and allege violations of Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act. The complaints claim that the robots’ cameras and LiDAR sensors captured information on customers’ faces and hands as they approached the machines to pick up their orders. Both have denied the allegations.
