The line between TVs and gaming has been blurring for months. PC gamers are going to OLED TVs for high-end immersive experiences, and console players are flocking to high refresh rate monitors to get the most out of their current-gen consoles.

There are so many PSVR2 headsets unsold that Sony put the production of new units on hold, according to a Bloomberg report Monday.Since its launch in Feb. 2023, Sony produced approximately 2 million PSVR2 units, each with a price tag of $550.

Jacob Roach / Digital Trends It’s easy to get fixated on image quality when looking for a new monitor, but one feature has flown under the radar for far too long. Over the past several years, we’ve seen an increasing number of monitors include a KVM switch, and it’s a game changer for using your display with multiple devices. It’s one of those features that’s easy to look past, as it gets jumbled in the middle of a list of obligatory features that you’ll find on numerous displays. Don’t discount a KVM, though. Next…

Jacob Roach / Digital Trends The never-ending battle between AMD, Nvidia, and Intel doesn’t just involve their graphics cards — it also stretches to their respective upscaling solutions. It’s not all about performance, either, but also the number of games that support them. Microsoft aims to streamline and unify these upscalers, making it easier for game devs to add support for every GPU vendor. The main issue with having three different upscaling solutions lies not just in how well they all perform in relation to…

Honda announced a new “Extended Reality Mobility Experience” debuting at this year’s SXSW festival in Austin, where the company will invite attendees to strap on a VR headset and strap into a fancy wheelchair. The future is here, maybe. The stunt uses Honda’s new UNI-ONE, a personal mobility device with self-balancing technology similar to a Segway, which lets riders steer by leaning their bodies in a given direction. The carmaker is promoting the UNI-ONE as a mobility device for people with disabilities, but it seems…

Jacob Roach / Digital Trends AMD’s former senior vice president and general manager of Radeon has come out with some strong words against Nvidia. Scott Herkelman called Nvidia “the GPU cartel” in response to a story from the Wall Street Journal in which Nvidia’s customers claim that it delays GPU shipments in retaliation for those customers shopping with other suppliers. The accusation in question comes from Jonathan Ross, CEO of AI chip startup Groq, who said, “a lot of people that we meet with say that if Nvidia…

Jacob Roach / Digital Trends Nvidia’s Goldilocks GPU this generation has been the RTX 4070. For PC gaming in 2024, with the cost of building a PC moving upward, it hit the perfect balance of performance, price, and features. It’s a GPU that can do anything, delivering that premium gaming experience in flagship titles like Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty and Alan Wake 2 without costing as much as a used car. But it’s falling behind. The RTX 4070 was a Goldilocks GPU, but the $500 to $600 market has become hotly…
