Add as a preferred source on Google


Samsung Electronics has occasionally been known for putting out computer monitors that combine style and flair with cutting edge technology. Their newest monitor, the SyncMaster 225UW, is certainly no exception to that rule.

The Samsung SyncMaster 225UW is a 22-inch widescreen LCD monitor which has nice design touches like a high-gloss black bezel, attractive stand and touch-sensitive buttons. The major draw of this monitor, though, for most techies will be how easy it works with Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 for doing advanced web conferencing.

So what gives the SyncMaster 225U an edge when it comes to video conferencing? How about the integrated 2-megapixel Web cam, dual-array microphone and speakers for starters. These features tie into Microsoft’s software in a way which Samsung says will let others communicate globally without needing to “pick up a phone, put on a headset or lean into a microphone.” Combined support for wideband audio codec’s and software voice enhancement to let users have what Samsung thinks is a better Web conferencing experience.

Its latest ProArt P16 and ProArt P14 creator laptops are built around Nvidia’s new RTX Spark platform, a chip package that sounds like something you’d expect to find inside a workstation. And that’s exactly the point.

The new ProArt machines are targeting creators, developers, and power users who increasingly want desktop-class AI performance without being tethered to a desk.

Asus reveals world’s first OLED esports monitor and a Color ePaper secondary display
Computer, Electronics, Pc

Gaming monitors have spent years chasing one goal: higher refresh rates. Asus just pushed that race into new territory with what it calls the world's first OLED monitor built specifically for esports players.

Unveiled under the ROG banner, the new Strix OLED XG259QWPG Ace combines a compact 24.5-inch panel with a staggering 540Hz refresh rate, bringing OLED's rich visuals to a category that has traditionally favored speed over image quality. But that's not the only unusual display Asus announced. The company also introduced a color ePaper monitor designed for productivity, reading, and low-fatigue viewing. It's an odd pairing on paper, but both products show how display technology is moving beyond traditional LCD screens.

Asus ROG drops Edition 20 gaming gear and your eyes need to feast on these beauties

Gaming PCs have become increasingly powerful over the years, but genuinely memorable designs are harder to come by. To celebrate its 20th anniversary, Asus' Republic of Gamers (ROG) is trying to change that with the new Edition 20 lineup — and at least on looks alone, it has succeeded.

It feels less like a collector's item built for enthusiasts who want their PC to be the centerpiece of the room. Every unit ships with its own serial number, reinforcing the idea that this is a celebration piece rather than just another high-end gaming desktop.
