Why you should buy the LG 48-inch UltraGear OLED Monitor

Optimized PC gaming relies on multiple components working in unison to achieve the kind of top-shelf visuals these displays are capable of. Thanks to the UltraGear’s HDMI 2.1 ports, you can expect lightning-fast response times from one of LG’s best. And when you add in 120Hz VRR performance (when using a compatible GPU), you’ll have no issue keeping up with friends and foes alike in some of your favorite games.

The best OLED TV deals are traditionally dominated by LG’s presence, and the brand’s breathtaking colors and contrast feel right at home on the UltraGear. Not to mention the 0.1ms response time, which all but eliminates ghosting during action-heavy sequences. While you may be using dedicated audio peripherals for your gaming sessions (and we’ve got some incredible headset deals for you to check out), the UltraGear’s 20W drivers push some pretty big sound for such a small chassis. 

LG was also kind enough to provide a two-year limited warranty on the UltraGear. This gives you coverage for internal parts of the monitor, as well as some of its functional components. You’ll also be able to add an additional two years of coverage for an extra $80, or three years for $90. 

These types of monitor deals come around only once in a while, so we highly advise you to take advantage of this UltraGear offer while you still can. Again, that’s an $800 markdown, putting the LG 49-inch UltraGear OLED Monitor on your desk for only $700.

Hidden prompts can secretly rewrite an AI’s memory, and researchers say that’s a serious problem
Researchers discover AI attack that rewrites an assistant's long-term memory
Chatbot on a smartphone.

Large language models are getting better at remembering us. Whether it's your preferred writing style, recurring tasks, shopping habits or project deadlines, AI assistants are increasingly storing long-term memories to make future conversations feel more personal and useful. But according to new research, that same feature could become one of AI's biggest security vulnerabilities.

Researchers from New Mexico State University have demonstrated a new attack called GhostWriter, capable of secretly planting false memories inside AI agents. Rather than stealing information outright, the attack manipulates what an AI remembers, potentially causing it to make dangerous decisions long after the original attack has taken place.

This experiment shows how easy it is to poison an open-weight AI model for under $100
This research raises new doubts about trusting open weight AI models.
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Open-weight AI models have been having a moment lately. Just this month, Moonshot's massive Kimi K3 model landed close behind Claude Fable 5 and GPT 5.6 Sol in several benchmarks, all while remaining fully open-weight and downloadable by anyone.

However, Katie Paxton-Fear, a cybersecurity lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan University and staff security advocate at Semgrep, managed to poison an open-weight model and proved how easily that openness can be turned against you (via The Register).

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
