If you've been eyeing this segment, you probably know the specs. A 2560×1440 OLED panel, 240Hz refresh rate, 0.03 millisecond response time. Even if it's common, that's still plenty fast for multiplayer online gaming, making the Cooler Master Tempest GZ2711 an excellent monitor for all kinds of games and video. It also has a few extra features you don't see on entry-level monitors, including USB-C with up to 96 watts of power delivery. That means this monitor is an excellent companion to all but the most power-hungry gaming laptops.
But perhaps the best thing about this sale is that this monitor is new, not refurbished, as is often the case on eBay, which means it should come with the full manufacturer's warranty. (That means three years of coverage, according to Cooler Master's page.) It's being sold by Focus Camera, a retail store based in New Jersey, and shipping for free.
I doubt this deal will stick around for very long, so hop on it quickly if you've been waiting for a cheap-but-brand-new OLED monitor. If you need something bigger or more affordable, be sure to check out PCWorld's picks for the best gaming monitors.

The massive 18-inch PureSight display is something to behold, offering up to either 4K resolution in traditional 2D or 2K resolution in glasses-free 3D. The 3D effect is achieved using eye-tracking tech and a clever lens system, no headset or special 3D glasses needed! Lenovo's AI-powered 3D Studio also supports various file formats as well as creation apps, allowing you to preview your work in 3D.
Underneath the hood, you're looking at serious firepower! It comes with an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor, a cutting-edge Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 GPU, up to 192GB of DDR5 RAM, and up to 8TB of SSD storage. That's a crazy amount of power and space, which is ideal for giant game builds and creative assets. AI is a big part of the experience, too. AI features like Game Coach and Game Clip Master help you improve your gaming skills and create shareable content on social media.
To round it all off, the Legion 9i's lid is made of forged carbon fiber, so every machine has its own unique cosmetic pattern. Lenovo's also offering the Legion 18 Armored Backpack II to keep your gear safe while you're traveling.
The Lenovo Legion 9i is expected to launch this fall. Pricing will be announced closer to launch.

It's not the first time we've covered a deal for this exact laptop, and it's easy to see why. The LOQ 15IRX9 has a solid configuration with a decent retail price, but it's a real winner when it's steeply discounted. This is a 15.6-inch laptop with a beautiful IPS display, a 1080p resolution that looks great, and a 144Hz refresh rate that's necessary for a smooth, immersive gaming experience at higher frame rates.
And this laptop will be able to push those higher frame rates—at least on modest game settings—thanks to the included GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card. This is a fantastic laptop GPU if price-performance is your main concern, and it's not common to see it in laptops in this price range. On top of that, you get an Intel Core i5 CPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and an adequate 512GB SSD. These specs are far from top-of-the-line, but they're enough for Windows 11 and daily operation without choking.
The Lenovo LOQ 15IRX9 is an affordable gaming laptop option, especially when it's on sale for just $849. That said, if you're willing to spend more for something that's crème de la crème, check out our picks for the best laptops as chosen by our experts.

Add Microsoft's Surface lineup to the list of gear that now costs more. XDA first spotted price hikes of around 20 percent for most existing models. The damage applies to the Surface Laptop and Surface Pro lines, as well as power bricks.
The starting prices of the 13.8-inch Surface Laptop and 13-inch Surface Pro increased from $1,000 to $1,200. Of course, the new devices Microsoft launched on Tuesday stand pat. (And their curiously high prices now make more sense.) Only the 15-inch Surface Laptop was spared, sticking to its original $1,300.
Even accessories like power supplies are part of the fun. The 65W Surface power supply shot up from $90 to $120, and the 127W variant went from $125 to $175.
PCMag notes that retail partners like Best Buy and Amazon still show the original prices. So, if you were considering a new Surface, that's a good place to start.
