LG has unveiled what it claims is the first gaming monitor to offer virtually zero response time, much to the delight of gamers the world over. Called LG UltraGear, the slick-looking new IPS display features a whopping response time of just 1ms. LG will offer it in 27-inch and 38-inch variants.
The smaller one boasts a Nano IPS panel, a 144Hz refresh rate, HDR10 support, FreeSync technology, and a crosshair feature. This model also offers a handful of extras that enhance gaming like Black Stabilizer and Dynamic Sync. It’s not clear whether these two features will appear also on the 38-inch model.
The larger sibling packs a punch. It’s got Nvidia G-Sync and VESA DisplayHDR 400 support. While its refresh rate is the same as its smaller counterpart, do know that you can overclock it to 175Hz if you wish.
Aesthetics are nothing to sneeze at, too: both feature nearly bezel-less designs. And the 38-inch boasts a curved display profile as well. Its resolution is 3,840 x 1,600. The smaller model isn’t curved, unfortunately, but does offer beautiful images at 2,560 x 1,440.
LG has yet to announce an exact release date or official pricing for either models. Reports speculate the smaller one will hit shelves first. Preorders for LG UltraGear monitors open on July 1 for stateside folks; Europeans, meanwhile, will have to wait until the third quarter. When the 38-inch model will come out remains uncertain.

Guess who else is playing the nostalgia card? Well, Sony of course. Ever since Nintendo released the overwhelmingly-demanded-yet-minimally-stocked NES Classic Edition in 2016, it’s been evident that a huge subset of gamers are hungry for reincarnations of their favorite old-school machines, and Sony took note and delivered the PlayStation Classic.
As such, PlayStation Classic is officially launching this December for $100, just in time for the holidays. It comes with 20 preinstalled games that Sony says defined the generation. It’s almost half the size of a regular PlayStation and uses a virtual memory card for saving, a nod to the head-scratching save system of its mother console.
The console comes bundled with two PlayStation-era replica controllers (without the analog sticks, unfortunately). The unit itself looks nearly identical to the original, with a few important exceptions. There’s now an HDMI port to connect to your modern TV, and an USB port for powering up the device.
Though it features a disc area, it can’t actually load any discs, of course. It sounds like you can’t install other games beyond the preinstalled titles, either. A bummer, yes, but only par for the course since the NES Classic also doesn’t allow this.
Pressing the “Open” button on will act as if you’re changing discs, letting you change to whatever game you like. The “Reset” button, meanwhile, lets you suspend games. Sony has yet to reveal the 20 titles that’ll be included, but several of them have been confirmed as per the trailer: Final Fantasy VII, Tekken 3, Ridge Racer Type 4, Jumping Flash, and Wild Arms.
It seems gaming phones are a hot thing now, and Asus is in for a piece of the pie. They’ve just announced a powerhouse of a smartphone that sets the bar high for this type of gadgets.
Set to be released this summer, the Asus ROG packs truly impressive specs such as a 2.96Ghz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset, Adreno 630 GPU, a 4,000mAh battery, 8GB of RAM, and a massive Vapor cooling chamber on the back keeping the phone from bursting in flames.
The HDR-capable 6.0“ 18:9 AMOLED display is paired with a duo of front-facing speakers, 8MP front cam, 12MP/8MP ultra-wide rear cam, and a rear fingerprint reader. Other features include three USB-C ports, three ultrasonic sensors, an optional “AeroActive Cooler”, and an optional Mobile Desktop Dock.
Arriving with a slimmer case, thinner screen bezel, and even more power than its predecessor, the new HP Omen 15 Laptop is a strong contender in the gaming laptop arena. Even more, it’s affordably priced.
The laptop packs NVIDIA’s GTX 1070 Max-Q GPU, 1060 or 1070 graphics, a 15.6-inch screen with 1080p and 4K at 60Hz, 8th generation Intel CPUs (up to six cores and 32GB of DDR4-2666 RAM), and game streaming technology. Extra vents and larger finned fans keep the machine cool, while its styling is the same sleek “fighter jet” affair as last year’s model, with sharp, angular lines on its black & red case.
Gaming hardware & software company Razer has just launched its 2018 Blade Gaming Laptop, a revamped model that’s not only full-packed with high-performing specs, it’s also claimed to be the smallest gaming laptop with a 15.6-in display.
Boasting an aluminum body with an anodized black finish for scratch-resistance, the laptop is just .66″ thin and features 4.9mm bezels wrapping around the display that comes in either 1920×1080 (HD) or 3840 x 2160 (4K) resolutions.
Spec-wise, the 2018 Blade is powered by an 8th Gen Intel Core i7 Processor, a GeForce GTX 1060 or 1070 GPU, 16 GB of RAM & up to 512 GB of SSD storage, or up to 32 GB of RAM & 2 TB of storage.
The new gaming rig is also fitted with the Razer Chroma lit keyboard, dual front speakers with Dolby Atmos surround sound, an 80Wh battery, and an array of ports that let you output to three external displays at once.
