Most computer users will probably be satisfied with a large, hi-res monitor that has a bright panel and displays more or less accurate colors. Gamers, however, are a cut above the rest, even compared to those who work on multimedia content. More than just high resolutions, accurate colors, and fast refresh rates, gamers also seek out monitors with fast response times and low latencies to give them an edge over the competition, be it human or AI. LG is promising all of that in its latest UltraGear monitor that it claims is the world's first 4K IPS 1MS GTG screen built especially for gamers.

Although some may praise Samsung for innovations like the Galaxy Fold, LG perhaps deserves some commendation for launching more "experimental" smartphones in the market, even if they end up being a flop. From the misnamed curved LG G Flex to the modular LG G5 to its recent batch of the dual-screen accessories for its phones, LG seems to be less averse at putting money where its mouth is when it comes to radical innovation. In fact, despite its current financial situation, it may be launching its craziest phones yet, including a rollable phone in early 2021.

From being one that shouts "first!" when a new Android update is released, LG has now become one of the worst-rated manufacturers when it comes to timely Android updates. That's true for its most flagships but is even worse for its mid-range and entry-level models. So when news of Android 10 landing on a mid-2019 Stylo 5, there is definitely much reason to be pleasantly surprised. Especially when you consider it's coming via the long-winded carrier route.

Truly wireless stereo earbuds have become the fad these days, mostly thanks to the popularity of Apple's AirPods. But as any owner of such earbuds can attest to, those small things that you put in your ears every day can accumulate a lot of dirt, including bacteria that you can't see.

LG today announced its new GX Gallery lineup of OLED TVs, which seems to be a successor to the "wallpaper" TVs it launched a few years back. The name of the game here seems to be minimalism - while the wallpaper TVs required the use of a separate sound bar, the GX Gallery TVs do not, leaving them free of extra hardware when they're mounted on a wall.

TV screen technologies are coming to mobile computers in more ways than one.

The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro release dates previously leaked are now expected to bump back a full 6 weeks. This isn't necessarily due to COVID-19, but added precautions could be in play. We're now hearing that there's a possibility that Apple's ordered more display panels than they would have otherwise - just to make certain they're able to meet demand for this oncoming season of significant upgrades and new iPhone features.

LG Electronics has taken the wraps off a new consumer CineBeam projector for the US market, one designed to be highly compact and portable -- but at a cost. The PH30N is small enough to easily take outside or with you on a trip, measuring in at 5- x 5- x 1.5-inches in size and a bit over a pound in weight. The catch? You won't get much brightness or a 4K resolution with this model, which also has a pretty big battery limitation.

Were you struck by the beauty of the LG Velvet's new design but was put off by either its price or its Snapdragon 700 series chipset. It seems that LG already predicted this kind of reaction and already had a different kind of LG Velvet prepared. In a case of "be careful what you wish for", however, this variant will naturally be cutting corners but the Snapdragon 845 inside might not be as bad as it initially sounds.

LG Signature has taken the wraps off its new Wine Cellar, a smart home appliance that can hold up to 65 bottles of wine, as well as snacks. The key aspect of this wine cellar is its 'smart' nature, one that includes the ability to peek in at the wine with a couple of knocks, to automatically serve snacks with the push of a button, and to preserve wine with climate control.
