This Black Friday and Cyber Monday, you’ll find savings on all kinds of monitors from ultra-wide, or ultra-slim. Currently, one of the best one-day-only sales is over at Amazon and covers some popular monitors from ViewSonic, Acer, and LG. These will all no doubt pair up nicely with any new laptop or game console.

The first of the four, the 32-inch ViewSonic VX3276 is quite fancy for its sale price of $150, instead of $200. It sports an ultra-slim frameless design that is minimalistic on any desk. Its IPS panel also means for awesome visiting angles, and thanks to its Flicker-Free technology and Blue Light Filter, you’ll be able to enjoy all your web browsing with little strain on your eyes. There’s even a split-screen feature that lets you divide your screen into multiple viewing windows for ultimate productivity.

Next, there’s the Acer CB272, which is now on sale for a mere $130, instead of the usual price of $154. While not packing 4K resolution, this monitor is still a nice choice for gaming. It sports a 1ms response time, as well as AMD Radeon FreeSync Technology and fast 75Hz refresh rate. That’s above the typical 60Hz found on most monitors in a higher price range, and a nice balance of features for the sale price.

Finally, there is the LG 34UC80-B and the LG 34WN80C-B, which both are now on sale for $470. These monitors are quite expensive, but pack in plenty of premium features. First off, they’re both curved, and ultra-wide, which makes them a great choice for productivity and splitting your screen. They both also have AMD FreeSync technology, which reduces tearing and stuttering in games. You’ll also enjoy the tilt, pivot, and swivel features, which lets you put the monitors in the perfect position to fit your setup.

Of course, the two monitors are a bit different though. The 34UC80-B has an in-built game mode that can optimize for different lighting conditions. The 34WN80C-B, meanwhile, has USB-C connectivity, and a wider 99% color gamut and HDR10 compatibility. This makes it a better buy and more modern over the 34UC80-B which sports older HDMI connections.

Windows 11

If your Windows PC has ever refused to boot, you know the panic that follows. You scramble to find another computer, download the Windows installer, and create a bootable USB drive just to get your machine running again. Microsoft wants to end that headache with a new feature called Cloud Rebuild.

As reported by Windows Central, Cloud Rebuild lets you perform a full reinstall of Windows 11 without USB media or a custom image. Better yet, it doesn’t depend on your current installation being healthy, so it can even rescue a PC that won’t start.
