Boy, howdy, that curved 32-inch, 4K QD-OLED monitor is a real doozy.This QD-OLED Alienware Monitor is a Real CurveballThe AW3225QF has a rather gentle 1700R while touting a 240Hz native refresh rate and 0.03ms pixel response time, so its baseline specs should put it well in the tiers of other…

It’s been hard to avoid OLED among the best gaming monitors this year. What started as a trickle of OLED late last year turned into a flood of OLED this year, with every major monitor brand jumping in on the OLED hype.

Either way, I'm glad I have control over my MacBook Pro But why bother? Why not just leave the keyboard backlight up fully and never worry that you'll not be able to see the keyboard? Simply put… battery. Although the keyboard…

TCL started pushing out its lineup of 2023 TVs today, and while the price conscious brand is promising new models with better backlights, more dimming zones, and optional accompanying soundbars, the big news is around a brand reshuffle and some software-powered gaming features.It's Magic: LG's Rollable OLED TVTV branding is a bit of a mess right now, with even the best TVs rocking names like Samsung Q70A QLED 4K. That’s why TCL is reshuffling all of its TVs to fit under one of two brands: S-series, and Q-series. Like with…

Lenovo One of the better laptop deals today is over at Lenovo. The Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 2 is currently down to $1,100.
