When it comes to gaming displays, we’d argue that a high-refresh rate is one of the best ways to improve how your game looks and feels. With less blurring, more accurate visuals, and faster input response, it can have a big effect on your game, which is why this 1080p 144Hz display from Asus is a fantastic basic gaming monitor. At 24-inches diagonally, it’s at the maximum recommended size for 1080p gaming, but it still looks good. If you have an AMD graphics card, you can take advantage of its FreeSync support for reducing screen tearing and its 1080p resolution won’t stress your graphics card too much. With all of Asus’ coloring and display mode technologies, you can give your games a contrast and clarity boost too.
The Sceptre Curved Gaming LED Monitor offers you the best immersion when playing your favorite video games. This 24-inch curved monitor with its 144Hz refresh rate will keep your gaming visuals crisp. The integrated AMD FreeSync lets you enjoy a smoother visual experience even when the game is fast-paced and full of action. You can also mount the monitor to a wall to make your set up a hundred times more stylish.
If you’re just starting to put together your gaming rig, then the BenQ ZOWIE Gaming Monitor is a solid option that offers smooth control and precision. It promises a lightning-fast 144Hz refresh rate as well as 1ms response time to eliminate lags.

What's happened? This week, China's Quality Certification Center released information about a battery (EB-BS04898ABY) with a maximum capacity of 4,855mAh. That's the same capacity as was previously seen in the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, and fans have taken this certification to mean the Galaxy S26 Ultra will not see a capacity increase after all.
The Samsung Galaxy Ultra models have had the same battery capacity for the last five years.
What's happened? Samsung has officially announced the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite, a budget-friendly alternative to the Galaxy Tab S10. The device has been rumored for months, but this is the first time Samsung has officially acknowledged its existence.
The Galaxy Tab S10 Lite will have a 10.9-inch display and a peak brightness of 600 nits — a bit on the lower side, versus the iPad Pro's maximum brightness of 1,600 nits.
