By Nick Mokey September 10, 2007

Gamers looking for fast response times in a widescreen LCD monitor will want to focus their eyes on NEC’s new AccuSync GX and CX series displays. The company’s latest offerings boast response times of 5ms, contrast ratios reaching 2,000:1 and sizes up to 24 inches.

The largest monitor in the lineup, the behemoth AccuSync LCD24WMCX, has a native resolution of 1920 x 1200, while the smaller LCD22WMGX runs at 1680 x 1050 and the LCD19CMGX runs at 1440 x 900. The smallest monitor pushes an adequate contrast ratio of 1,000:1 while both larger models get a more impressive 2,000:1 ratio. The larger models also come with component inputs to display video from DVD players and game consoles, and a special DV mode with six presets for viewing preferences.

All three monitors come with HDMI and HDCP connectivity, glossy black bezels, tilt and cable management, and three-year warranties.

The AccuSync LCD19WMGX and LCD22WMGX are on sale immediately for $279.99 and $379.99, respectively, while the top-of-line LCD24WMCX will come out later in September for $549.99.

Gamers are reportedly returning Intel Core i9 CPUs in droves

Intel Core i9-13900K held between fingertips.

Intel's recent Core i9 CPUs are facing some dire issues, at least according to a new report from ZDNet Korea. In speaking with the outlet, an anonymous source in Korea responsible for customer service on Intel CPUs says that customers are returning more than 10 of Intel's 13th-gen and 14th-gen Core i9 CPUs daily, largely hailed as some of the best gaming processors you can buy.

The problem centers around Tekken 8, at least in Korea. According to the report, gamers using a CPU like the Core i9-13900K or Core i9-14900K will face an error message saying "not enough video memory" when launching the game, forcing it to close. This is even when the PC has plenty of video memory to run the game.

Microsoft just discovered the next big evolution in displays

Microsoft is working on a new patent that aims to bring unprecedented levels of control to displays. The new tech, dubbed Pixel Luminesce for Digital Display, allows you to micromanage every single pixel of your display, adjusting the brightness as needed. If and when this makes it out of the development stage, it could end up being huge for all sorts of use cases, and could bring major improvements to some of the best gaming monitors.

The patent application describing the tech, first shared by Windows Report, describes the new technology as something that would enable selective dimming. With Microsoft's new tech, you could decide that one part of the display stays brighter while the rest of it remains unaffected, and this would happen dynamically.

Apple chief Tim Cook is spending a few days in China, one of the tech company’s most important markets and a major product manufacturing hub.

His visit comes as iPhone sales in the country dropped 24% year-on-year in the first six weeks of 2024, according to data from Counterpoint Research. The slump was attributed to strong competition from local tech firms such as Huawei, although "abnormally high" sales in January 2023 were also a factor.
