There’s a ton of science and fancy engineering that goes into making a great gaming monitor, but when push comes to shove, which manufacturer makes the best screens? A few brands come to mind, with LG being near the top of the list. That also reminds us of a fantastic LG deal we came across while vetting through monitor deals:
Right now, when you purchase the LG 32-inch UltraGear Gaming Monitor at Amazon, Best Buy, B&H Photo-Video, and a handful of other retailers, you’ll only end up paying $1,100. The full MSRP on this model is $1,400. We tested this monitor back in August, and reviewer Jacob Roach said, “The LG UltraGear Dual Mode OLED’s unique take on gaming monitors feels truly one-of-a-kind.”
The LG UltraGear Dual Mode OLED lineup is a true feat for OLED displays of all types. Delivering up to 480Hz at 1080p or 240Hz in 4K, the UltraGear has some of the best contrast levels and inky blacks you’ll ever find on a desktop screen. It also features up to 8,294,400 zones of local dimming for improved color and contrast accuracy. That’s on top of its 0.03ms response time and low input lag, which basically checks all the boxes for modern PC gaming.
As far as connections go, the LG UltraGear has two HDMI 2.1 inputs and a DisplayPort 1.4 connection, along with two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports and a 3.5mm auxiliary for a wired headset. We were also pleased to learn that the monitor is compatible with Nvidia G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, ensuring you’ll get fast and responsive gameplay when you need it most.
We’re not sure how long this discount will stick around, so now might be the best and last day to take advantage of this $300 sale. We also suggest taking a look at our lists of the best LG TV deals and best gaming headset deals for additional markdowns on top gaming tech!
The absolutely absurd idea of putting a touchscreen display on a mouse isn't exactly new. Turtle Beach already did it with its Command Series MC7, which features a 2.25-inch control screen. But apparently, even that wasn't ridiculous enough for Arctic Fox Technologies. Its new Super Mouse looks like someone took the chunky old Atari ST mouse, slapped a touchscreen and scroll wheel on it, and called it an upgrade.
The result is a rather unusual-looking mouse that is now on Kickstarter, starting at $199. And as ridiculous as it looks, some of its features are genuinely intriguing.
Apple is less than a day away from launching its highly anticipated OLED MacBook Pro with a touch-sensitive screen. But it appears that the upgrade is going to cost a pretty penny. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly eyeing a starting price of $2,899 for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, while the 16-inch version could start at $3,399 in the US.
"At $2,899, the 14-inch model would mark the highest starting price for a new MacBook Pro model, surpassing the $2,799 Apple charged for a 17-inch version introduced in 2006," says the report. The report claims that Apple is targeting a minimum price hike of $400 for its upcoming redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.
I've spent a good amount of time digging into the spec sheet of the new M6 MacBook Pro (14-inch), and for all intents and purposes, this is a classic Apple "chip and connectivity" refresh. It's not a full redesign. The chassis, Liquid Retina XDR panel, speakers, ports, and battery, all of them carry over unchanged.
However, the M6 brings more cores, stronger on-device AI, higher memory bandwidth on the larger configs, and modern wireless. Here’s the practical rundown of what actually improved, and whether those gains are worth your money.
