Why you should buy the LG 49-inch UltraGear

Gaming PC deals are abundant, but we don’t see as many aggressive markdowns on monitors as we do the machines that run the games. Fortunately, LG has been producing some of the best gaming monitors in the business for a while now, and the company is particularly well known for its OLED technology. The 49-inch UltraGear has a WQHD screen that delivers a 21:9 aspect ratio, near-instant response times, and up to 240Hz for motion performance.

What does this all mean when you’re actually gaming though? Everything! Even the most demanding online games will be rendered smooth, with next to no ghosting visible in the image whatsoever. The UltraGear series is also one of the best display lineups for colors, contrast, and black levels. If you’ve ever seen an LG OLED TV in action before (check out some of the TV deals we found this week), you’ll know you’re in for a treat!

As far as connectivity goes, the UltraGear is equipped with several useful ports, including HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4. You’ll just want to make sure that the cables you’re using to connect your laptop or desktop offer good-enough transfer speeds. The monitor also supports NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync Premium, which all but guarantees the best frame-to-frame performance for even the most resource-draining MMORPGs.

We’re not sure when we’ll see a sale like this again. This is why we recommend buying sooner rather than later. Once more, you’ll be able to take home the LG 49-inch UltraGear Curved OLED Monitor for $1,000 while this deal lasts!

Asus’ powerful new gaming laptop with a 240Hz Mini LED display makes its global debut
The 2026 ROG Strix G18 pairs up to RTX 5080 graphics with an Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus CPU
ROG Strix G18 (2026) laptop

Asus has started rolling out the 2026 ROG Strix G18 globally, and the easiest way to describe it is as a slightly toned-down version of the ridiculous ROG Strix Scar 18. It keeps the same 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processor but tops out at an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU instead of the Scar’s RTX 5090. (via Notebookcheck)

The Mini LED model gets the best balance

Every app on my phone has decided I need AI, and none of them bothered to ask
AI assistants are invading everything from photo libraries to messaging apps, and dismissing them only seems to guarantee they’ll return later.
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

My wife doesn’t use AI very much. She isn’t philosophically opposed to it, nor is she waiting for the machines to overthrow civilization. She simply opens Google Photos because she wants to look at her photos.

Lately, however, the app keeps greeting her with invitations to try its AI tools. Google would very much like her to search her library conversationally, generate something new, or ask Gemini to edit a photo. She dismisses the prompt, gets on with her life, and eventually meets it again.

Shopping for Back-to-school? These are the gaming laptops I’d recommend
Powerful enough for AAA games, practical enough for everyday lectures, assignments, and everything in between.
oled gaming laptop

Every gamer knows the pain of trying to do too much with the wrong hardware. Back-to-School is the perfect excuse to fix that. A good gaming laptop shouldn’t just hit high frame rates -- it should also survive endless browser tabs, assignments, coding sessions, video edits, and everything else college throws at it. These five machines strike that balance better than most, which is exactly why they’d be my picks this semester.
