BenQ declares the death of display bezel with new economical EW2750LZ

Multiple monitor systems have been commonplace for years at this point, with even graphics card makers like AMD touting their ‘Eyefinity’ ability to handle up to three from a single GPU. But gaming across multiple screens is often still problematic because of that plastic in between them — not so with the new BenQ EW2750LZ.

Although far from an ultra high-end, high-resolution, high-refresh display, this new economical LED BenQ monitor does have a number of impressive features, not least the fact that it has a minimalist edge-to-edge design, eliminating almost the entirety of the side-to-side bezel. It’s also 27 inches diagonally, and so provides plenty of screen space for movie watchers, gamers, and enterprise users.

Other aspects of its design that BenQ seems particularly proud of includes its low-blue-light features, which help reduce eye strain and fatigue over long periods of time. Flickering at all brightness levels has been reduced for a clearer picture and a new cinema mode is said to improve color quality throughout the spectrum.

BenQ also touts “enhanced resolution capabilities,” which are said to improve the appearance of online video, automatically boosting pixel density of original content sources to provide a better video experience — you can even create an on-screen focal point if you can’t fullscreen a video, eliminating all other distractions from the ‘picture.’

However BenQ also understands that we don’t live in a desktop-orientated world anymore. While it obviously wants to sell you a new desktop display, the EW2750ZL also comes with HDMI and mobile high-definition link inputs, letting you stream content from your smartphone, tablet, or any other external device. You can even use it without your PC being turned on.

The BenQ EW2750ZL is available now direct from BenQ or select retailers, priced at $210.

Although this display isn’t jam-packed with features, it is very cheap for a 1080P, 27-inch display. This would have cost well over a thousand dollars a decade ago, but do you prefer to spend a bit more when you buy yourself a new monitor?

The Google Play Store, YouTube, and Google Docs installed on an Amazon Fire Max 11.

Word processing software isn’t the kind of tool that most users would consider exciting, which is why we’re glad to see companies like Google adding a little flair to its own products. We’re talking about Google Docs, a free-to-use word processor that’s part of your larger Google Account ecosystem. Basic formatting options and other familiar word processing functions are front and center on Google Docs, but the ability to add doodles, sketches, and other entertaining media to your next Docs file requires a special bit of know-how.

AMD’s upcoming APUs might destroy your GPU
AMD CEO Lisa Su holding an APU chip.

The spec sheets for AMD's upcoming APU lineups, dubbed Strix Point and Strix Halo, have just been leaked, and it's safe to say that they're looking pretty impressive. Equipped with Zen 5 cores, the new APUs will find their way to laptops that are meant to be on the thinner side, but their performance might rival that of some of the best budget graphics cards -- and that's without having a discrete GPU.

While AMD hasn't unveiled Strix Point (STX) and Strix Halo (STX Halo) specs just yet, they were leaked by HKEPC and then shared by VideoCardz. The sheet goes over the maximum specs for each APU lineup, the first of which, Strix Point, is rumored to launch this year. Strix Halo, said to be significantly more powerful, is currently slated for a 2025 release.

Hyte made me fall in love with my gaming PC all over again
A PC built with the Hyte Nexus Link ecosystem.

I've never seen anything quite like Hyte's new Nexus Link ecosystem. Corsair has its iCue Link system, and Lian Li has its magnetic Uni system, and all three companies are now offering ways to tie together your PC cooling and lighting devoid of extraneous cables. But Hyte's marriage of hardware, software, and accessories is in a league of its own -- and it transformed my PC build completely.

I've been using some of the foundational components of the ecosystem for about a week, retailoring a build inside of Hyte's own Y40 PC case to see how the system works. It doesn't seem too exciting at first -- Hyte released an all-in-one (AIO) liquid cooler, some fans, and a few RGB strips, who cares? But as I engaged more with the Nexus Link ecosystem, I only became more impressed.
It all starts with the cooler
