ViewSonic Offers 26-Inch HD LCD Monitor

ViewSonic might be best known for busting up the pricing wars on big-screen flat-panel displays, but the company also wants a space on the desktops of home and office users—and to that end the company has just introduced its 25.5-inch VA2626wm widescreen LCD display, with full HD 1,920 by 1,200 resolution, a fast 5 ms response time, and HDMI input.

“We are committed to continuously expanding our display offerings and aim to exceed customer expectations by adding premium features we know our customers demand,” said ViewSonic’s president of global brand and emerging technologies Jeff Volpe, in a statement. “ViewSonic further demonstrates its display leadership by offering innovative technology, versatile offerings and outstanding value.”

The VA2626wm offers 350cd/m² of brightness, an 800:1 contrast ratio (ViewSonic touts at 6,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio), a 170° viewing angle, and an antiglare screen surface. The display offers VGA, DVI-D, and HDMI inputs and packs two 2.5-Watt speakers.

The VA2626wm carries a suggested retail price of $695, but in true ViewSonic tradition, the display’s street price should be about $529. And remember: 25.5 inches diagonal.

Everyone should sign up to a virtual private network, so if you're looking for VPN deals, here's one that you wouldn't want to miss -- two years plus three extra months of PureVPN's Max Plan at 80% off for just $4 per month, for a total of $108 for 27 months. That's $16 in savings per month for dependable online protection, and to top it off, you'll be getting an Uber Eats voucher worth up to $30. We're not sure how much time is remaining on this offer though, so if you're interested, you're going to have to sign up for the subscription immediately.

Why you should sign up for PureVPN Max Plan
A VPN is a necessity in this digital age because it will protect your data from being accessed by cybercriminals. It will also help you get around any geoblocking restrictions as you can have your device appear as if it's located in another part of the world. PureVPN is one of the best VPNs for these purposes, as it uses a global network of more than 6,500 servers that are located across dozens of countries.

Razer’s most boring product is also one of its best

The Razer Iskur V2 gaming chair in an office.

Razer isn't exactly known for subtlety. This is the company that released a Bane-like RGB face mask, a headset with haptic feedback, and most recently, a mouse pad that has RGB lighting from corner to corner. The Iskur V2 chair is an exercise in subtlety, however, and a change of pace that pays off for Razer in a big way.

There's nothing special about the Iskur V2 at first glance. It's a gaming chair fit with the usual racer-style back and some green trim to let you know it's a Razer product. But there are no motors promising immersive haptic feedback, and no RGB leaving you tethered to a wall outlet (yes, Razer has done both in a chair before). The Iskur V2 is just a well-designed, comfortable chair, and that's exactly why it's so impressive.
