Why you should buy the LG 48-inch OLED monitor

Perhaps we should start with a tiny breakdown of OLED technology: The acronym stands for Organic Light Emitting Diode, which refers to an OLED’s self-emissive pixel makeup. Unlike the zoned layouts of LED backlighting, individual OLED pixels can be powered on or off. This delivers some of the most accurate colors and contrast, as well as deep, inky black levels. Such is the case with the LG UltraGear, which also delivers 4K resolution, pushes a 120Hz refresh rate, and is capable of 0.1ms response times. Any discerning PC gamer will tell you that those are some rock-solid specs!

A monitor that once cost $1,500 should definitely have HDMI 2.1 connectivity, and the UltraGear does not disappoint. The 2.1 certification guarantees bigger and faster data transfer speeds, both for in-game performance and traditional file uploads and downloads. HDMI 2.1 also allows for features like Variable Refresh Rate, Automatic Low Latency Mode, and gaming optimizations like G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync Premium; both of which are supported by the LG UltraGear.

This awesome LG monitor is equipped with a 20W speaker system too. And while it’s only two channels, you’ll be surprised how much audio the stereo configuration can push. You’ll also be glad to learn that the UltraGear comes with a two-year limited warranty from LG. 

We come across OLED TV deals all the time, but this monitor offering is one we just had to shine an extra-bright light on. Again, for a limited time, purchase the LG 48-inch UltraGear OLED Monitor from LG and save $800!

Headroom App on Apple iPhone Duo controlling a Mac

The iPhone Duo has barely been out for a day, and someone's already found a way to run their Mac on it. Well, sort of. Headroom, a remote desktop app from MusicFlow, lets users control their Mac from Apple's new foldable phone, with an interface that adapts as the device opens, closes, and folds in half. Think of it as turning a pocket-sized phone into a miniature MacBook, minus the actual MacBook.

Microsoft introduced Code last month as one of the three core parts of its revamped Copilot app. The app was pitched as an easy-to-use coding agent that lets users describe what they want to build in natural language, like an app, a tracker, a dashboard, an automation, or a workflow, and Copilot would build it for them.

Essentially, it's a workplace-focused vibe-coding app that turns existing work into a functional app, and Microsoft has begun rolling it out through the Frontier program.
