If you’re ready to upgrade your monitor, this Samsung deal over at Amazon just might be your best bet. The 27-inch version of Samsung’s Odyssey G3 is $130 right now, a full $100 off its regular $230 price and its lowest price of the year. It’s a part of early Prime Day deals and a good sampling of what we can expect for the shopping holiday, which officially lands on July 8th. Tap the button below to see it for yourself or keep reading to see why we like this deal and why this should be your next monitor.

Why you should buy the 27-inch Samsung Odyssey G3

If you want smoother gaming and extra gaming features on a budget, this monitor is where it’s at. It has a 180Hz refresh rate, AMD Radeon FreeSync, and a 1ms response time for extremely smooth action. For stealth gamers, it includes a black equalizer, which dynamically normalizes the darker parts of your screen. In affect, this means that you’ll be able to see character models that are hidden in dark spots better without making the rest of the screen a bright, glaring mess. Plus, with the monitor’s Virtual Aim Point, which provides an on-screen aiming cursor, you’ll be able to get that headshot with no issues. The monitor is 1080p, however, but for a full monitor with a 180Hz refresh rate and gaming features for less than the cost of a tablet, it’s a great deal — oh, and it has an eye saver mode, and the ability to tilt, twist, and adjust to your heart’s desire, too!

So, if you’re excited to try a true gamer’s monitor at a drop down price, this is the deal for you. The Samsung Odyssey G3 isn’t going to be $100 off forever. Again, this makes the $230 monitor just $130. You can see it, and pick up the deal while it is still active, by tapping the button below. If you’d rather try something else, though, there are other great monitor deals going on, including a ton of Samsung monitor deals, if you know where to look.

What happens when AI detectors fail? Researchers say we must be trained to spot fake AI faces
Researchers say spotting AI faces may soon depend more on people than software
Zuckerberg Deepfake

Artificial intelligence has become remarkably good at creating fake human faces. So good, in fact, that the old tricks people relied on - counting fingers, spotting warped earrings, or looking for distorted backgrounds - are quickly becoming obsolete. According to a new study highlighted by the BBC, the next line of defence may not be a better AI detector at all. It might simply be a better-trained human.

Researchers from the University of Aberdeen, working alongside Australia's National University, found that people can dramatically improve their ability to distinguish AI-generated faces from real ones after a relatively short period of structured training. Instead of hunting for obvious visual glitches, participants were taught to recognise subtle patterns that modern image generators still struggle to replicate consistently.

Google’s new Magic Pointer Play Store listing reveals a Gemini shortcut built for Googlebooks
The unannounced app turns the cursor into a contextual AI tool for search, image creation, and shopping
Plant, Text, Business Card

Google has quietly published a new Play Store listing for Magic Pointer, an unannounced app built for Googlebooks. Updated on July 10, the app turns the cursor into a Gemini shortcut that can act on whatever a user selects on screen.

Magic Pointer can send an image to Lens, generate a related image, or surface a shopping action without forcing users to open a separate chatbot. Regular Android devices currently show as incompatible, so the listing offers an early preview rather than a broad release.

You can stop using AI, but this new report says you probably can’t escape it
A UK survey found that most people feel AI exposure is unavoidable, raising harder questions about consent, privacy, and whether opting out is still realistic
AI Chatbots

More people are trying to use less AI, but avoiding it altogether may already be impossible.

A survey of 2,055 UK adults found that 42% deliberately limit how much AI they use. Another 70% said avoiding AI exposure would be difficult or impossible, even when they actively wanted less of it.
