OLED was the hero of PC gaming this year

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.

We finally have great HDR on PC, super low response times, and panel tech, making the monstrous monitors we’ve grown to love much more practical. HDR that works Jacob Roach / Digital Trends…

It also helped that I could pull up two browser windows side by side to multitask, as well as enjoy the deeper immersion in games. It didn’t matter that the…

And even after years of reviewing them, I still see some common mistakes buyers make when shopping for a new gaming monitor. I’ve tested dozens of gaming monitors, and although a spec sheet might sway you in one direction, I can tell you with certainty that all gaming monitors aren’t built equally. Here are the biggest…

Nostalgia is a powerful motivator. And nothing quite drives nostalgia more than ripping open a storage bin to find a pile of VHS camcorder tapes that pretty much document your life — from weddings to graduations, to family vacations, to that indie film you made when you thought you were going to be the next Scorcese. But when you’re done tripping down memory lane (assuming you have a VCR to play them on), you might be thinking about converting that VHS gold to a digital format because, whether you know it or…
