Add as a preferred source on Google

LG could have two of the best new monitors on its hands. Its UltraGear OLED gaming monitor and UltraFine Display Ergo AI are coming soon, and the brand will showcase at IFA 2022 in Berlin, Germany in early September.

Both curved displays introduce new technologies to LG’s consumer lines and provide unique experiences for users. The UltraGear OLED gaming monitor, model 45GR95QE, is the brand’s first OLED display featuring a 240Hz refresh rate. Meanwhile, the LG UltraFine Display Ergo AI, model 32UQ890, is able to adjust its position throughout the day with AI tracking to provide users with maximum ergonomic comfort.

LG touts the UltraGear OLED gaming monitor as ideal for immersive gaming. In addition to a 240Hz refresh rate, it is also the first 45-inch display to have an 800R curvature. Some spec highlights include a WQHD (3440 x 1440) resolution for the OLED monitor, a 21:9 aspect ratio, 0.1 milliseconds gray-to-gray response time, 98.5% DCI-P3 color coverage, HDR10, and a Variable Refresh Rate (VRR).

The UltraGear OLED gaming monitor also features a borderless design and an anti-glare and low reflection coating to maintain viewing quality. For ports, the monitor includes HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4. It also supports picture-by-picture and picture-in-picture for productivity.

The UltraFine Display Ergo AI is aimed as a home or office peripheral with a built-in AI camera that can analyze a user’s posture by tracking their eyes and adjusting the tilt and height of the display accordingly. The tilt has a range of 40 degrees, while the height can be adjusted by 160 millimeters. The consistent display movement helps users not remain in one position for long periods of time and to prevent bad posture habits. Users can set the monitor to one of three modes for their ergonomic preference: AI Motion, Continuous Motion, or Periodic Motion.

Specifications for the monitor include a 31.5-inch 4K (3840 x 2160) resolution, an IPS panel, 95% coverage of DCI-P3, and HDR.

The UltraFine Display Ergo AI is essentially a higher-tech version of the LG DualUp monitor, which was released in June. That monitor feature’s LG’s second-generation Ergo stand, with manual pivot, height, tilt, and swivel movements, which allows the display to maximize ergonomic comfort for users.

Price and availability details for the UltraGear OLED gaming monitor and the UltraFine Display Ergo AI will likely be announced during or after IFA, which takes place from September 2 to 6.

By the time the UltraGear OLED gaming monitor launches, its closest competitor will likely be the 32-inch 240Hz Samsung Odyssey Neo G8, which has been available on the market since June, selling for $1,500.

Microsoft is finally fixing the worst thing about Windows Search, but you can’t try it just yet
Windows Insiders in the Experimental channel are getting a Search experience that finally feels less of a billboard and more of what users actually need.
Page, Text, Person

Windows Search has been a mess for years, and I do not use that word lightly. Open it to find a file, and you get trending Bing topics, Microsoft Store promotions, and an AI tools tile that just opens a browser. 

That is changing, but not immediately for all users. Microsoft is rolling out a batch of Windows Search improvements to Insiders in the Experimental channel, and for once, this isn't just a fresh coat of paint.

Apple doesn’t want to share this AirPods feature with Meta, but the EU may force its hand
Spring 2027, EU only, built under DMA pressure.

I’ve been an AirPods user for the last four years, and one of the things that makes it genuinely hard to leave behind is the seamless, almost magical pairing experience across devices. Open an AirPods case near your iPhone, and a pop-up appears within seconds. Switch to your Mac and the audio follows. 

However, the experience is limited only to Apple devices. Doesn’t matter whether you have one of the coolest pieces of tech on the market right now; if it’s not Apple, it won’t get the same treatment. However, that might change for the Meta Quest or the Ray-Ban Meta glasses, thanks to pressure from the EU.

Copilot could soon help diagnose issues with your PC
A new PC Insights feature will help you find what's slowing down your PC, though Copilot itself may be one of the main problems.

Copilot's next trick is diagnosing your PC's problems, but the catch is that the assistant doing the diagnosing is itself part of the problem. Windows Latest reports that Microsoft is testing a new Copilot feature called PC Insights, which will let you ask the AI assistant natural language questions about your computer's hardware and storage instead of digging through the Task Manager or Settings. The feature will reportedly allow users to ask questions like, "Do I have enough space for a 100GB game?" and Copilot will check the available storage to offer a response. Users will also be able to ask about CPU usage, battery health, etc., to diagnose issues.
