Why you should buy the 45-inch LG UltraGear OLED gaming monitor

Your powerful gaming desktop should be paired with a solid gaming monitor, and the 45-inch LG UltraGear OLED gaming monitor is a fantastic choice. Its OLED technology delivers intense brightness, perfect black levels, and lifelike colors, while its 800R curved screen fills your peripheral vision for complete immersion in the best PC games. The gaming monitor also features an anti-glare surface to reduce distractions, and it also runs on LG’s webOS platform so you can watch your favorite streaming shows on the monitor while your computer is turned off to take a break.

Two of the most important numbers for gaming monitors are their refresh rate and response time, which our computer monitor buying guide describes as how often the images are updated on the screen, and how quick image transitions are shown, respectively. The 45-inch LG UltraGear OLED gaming monitor beats our recommendations for both specifications, with a 240Hz refresh rate and a 0.03ms response time.

My Best Buy Plus or Total members have the opportunity to get the 45-inch LG UltraGear OLED gaming monitor at $500 off, which lowers its price to just $1,200 from $1,700. If you haven’t signed up for the membership, you can do so right now to access the huge discount. You’ll have to be quick though, as the Member Deals Days sale ends on Sunday. Complete your purchase for the 45-inch LG UltraGear OLED gaming monitor as soon as possible to make sure that you enjoy the savings.

If you have ever generated an image with Gemini and gotten annoyed by that stamped-on watermark, Google finally heard you. Gemini is rolling out a new setting called Media Watermarks that lets you toggle visible watermarks on or off across everything you create, including images made with Nano Banana, videos made with Omni, and music made with Lyria. Until now, that visible watermark was applied automatically with no way to turn it off.

U.S. courts are set to begin publicly reporting how often federal judges authorize the government to use spyware and hacking tools to intercept real-time communications, giving the public its first standardized view of how frequently these surveillance techniques are being used.

The change will begin with data collected for the 2028 Wiretap Report, which will be published in 2029. The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts told TechCrunch that the report will introduce a new “spyware/hacking” category covering wiretaps conducted using hacking tools and spyware, known to federal authorities as network investigative techniques, or NITs.
