BenQ Launches 13 LCD Displays

Troubled Taiwanese electronics maker BenQ has announced 13 new LCD monitors in sizes ranging from 17 to 22 inches, all featuring 5 ms response times, 300 nits of brightness, integrated multimedia functions, and ambient LED illumination.

The new E Series displays offer display rations ranging from 16:10 widscreen aspects to traditional 4:3; the displays also feature BenQ’s Senseye+Photo technology to offer useful presets that provide the best image quality for different situations: modes include Standard, Dynamic, Movie, Photo, and an sRGB mode for heightened color accuracy. All but three units offer 1 Watt speakers hanging beneath the display, and are Energy Star certified. Nearly all the E Series displays support both D-sub and DVD-D input.

The real questions on these displays are pricing and availability. BenQ says it will introduce the monitors in the Asian market in late July (hey, isn’t it August already?) with variable availability in other regions; the company released no information on pricing.

9 best 2-in-1 laptops in 2024: tested and reviewed

The back of the Surface Pro 9, with the kickstand pulled out.

The 2-in-1 form factor has certainly come into its own over the last several years. There's really no reason to limit yourself to a clamshell, as there's a 2-in-1 that will meet the needs of all but the most demanding users in terms of sheer performance.

We've reviewed every great 2-in-1 you can buy, including Chromebooks, convertibles, and powerful 16-inch versions. The overall best 2-in-1 at the moment is the Microsoft Surface Pro 9 (although that might change very soon), with its fantastic keyboard that's as easy to remove as it is to type on, a 120Hz display, and a haptic-enabled pen. It's almost as good a laptop as it is a tablet, which is what makes it the best overall 2-in-1.

Here’s why everyone is talking about this controversial new Windows AI feature

Microsoft introducing the Recall feature in Windows 11.

When Microsoft went to launch its new Copilot+ PCs, it needed an AI feature that could showcase the power of the new NPU and AI models. That feature is Recall.

On one hand, it's a privacy nightmare wrapped in a glorified search bar. On the other, it could represent the biggest change to the way we use PCs in years.
What is Recall?

Microsoft is adding a controversial app to Windows 11

A new Windows 11 build is rolling out in Microsoft's Beta channel, and it includes an app that's been caught up in some controversy. Build 22635.3646 includes the PC Manager app for devices in China by default. This app is already available through the Microsoft Store, but the update suggests the app might be part of Windows 11 more broadly soon.

PC Manager falls in the category of "system optimizers" along the lines of the Razer Cortex Game Booster. It cleans out temporary files, frees memory that's not being used, and digs deep into your hard drive to clean out unused files. According to Microsoft, it can even "reduce ads and app pop-up interruptions." An system optimizer from Microsoft sounds great as an official release in Windows 11.
