For a long time, the two main reasons to skip over OLED were prohibitively high prices and the risk of permanent image retention, otherwise known as burn-in. Over the past several years, however, TV makers and their retail partners have made strides to address both concerns—yes, the risk of burn-in still exists, but...

Monitors makers continue to make a push into OLED territory, a move that is either long overdue or, depending on your perspective, too late with mini LED having emerged as a premium option as well.

Valve had a hit on its hands with the Steam Deck, and we expect the gaming firm to produce more handheld consoles in the future.

Sometimes it only takes a little spark to ignite a fire, which then quickly spreads. Need proof? We're seeing this play out in real time, metaphorically, as major monitor players update their respective warranties for longer coverage and to explicitly guarantee against image retention, otherwise known as burn-in. The...

Monitor makers have been slow to adopt DisplayPort 2.1/2.1a connectivity, which is a bummer if you're in urgent need of a display and want to future-proof your setup (as much as possible, anyway—true future-proofing is an impossible task). Well, that's about to change. Gigabyte has introduced a trio of new displays...

It took a minute (hundreds of thousands of minutes, actually, or six months) but ASUS ROG's Swift OLED PG32UCDM gaming monitor is finally finding its way to retail starting today. That also means we have confirmation on the price—at $1,299 (MSRP), the PG32UCDM is geared more towards spendthrifts than gamers who like...

There's a war breaking out in the display landscape and it's going largely unnoticed. The main combatants at the moment are ASUS and MSI, though if the gentleman's skirmish keeps up, other display makers could be drawn into the fray. That would be a good thing, too, because the battle that's taking place is over...

Monitor makers are starting to catch on that when it comes to OLED displays, there's still concern among buyers about burn-in. And rightfully so, especially as it applies to gamers—persistent heads up displays (HUDs) can, in some instances, become permanently seared onto an OLED display (though there are numerous...

ASUS is giving gamers who are interested in buying an OLED gaming monitor a bit of added peace of mind that burn-in won't rear its ugly head, and if it does, that they will be covered. Somewhat tucked away in the specifications for its OLED displays, ASUS now explicitly states that burn-in is covered as part of its...

The stage is set for this year’s Super Bowl, which will see the Kansas City Chiefs square off against the San Francisco 49ers. Kudos to anyone who managed to score tickets to the big game.

One of the main reasons why I'm so big on mini LED displays versus OLED is because they're generally brighter, which can help make HDR content pop and overcome a less-than-idea environment, such as a living space where a lot of sunlight spills into the room.
