This 1440p 240Hz OLED gaming monitor is the cheapest I've seen yet

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.

Bill Gates pledges to donate 99% of his wealth over the next 20 years

"People will say a lot of things about me when I die, but I am determined that ‘he died rich' will not be one of them," said Gates. "There are too many urgent problems to solve for me to hold onto resources that could be used to help people."

The plan is to distribute up to 99% of his total net worth by December 31st, 2045, which is when the Gates Foundation will be closed down. The total amount given away through the Foundation is expected to be around $200 billion over the next 20 years when you include his personal wealth, the Foundation's existing endowment, and earnings from ongoing business investments. That money will be spent on various charitable projects around the world.

On Bloomberg's list of the world's richest billionaires, Bill Gates currently ranks in 5th place with an estimated net worth of $108 billion.

YouTube is tinkering with one of Spotify's better ideas

A trial for a two-person YouTube Premium tier is now underway in India, France, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, and the option is striking similar to Spotify's Duo tier, which allows for two members of the same household to share a single subscription, according to Money Control. 

YouTube confirmed the pilot program to TechCrunch, with a spokesperson adding that the streamer is "experimenting with new ways to provide greater flexibility and value to our YouTube Premium subscribers, including offering a two-person Premium plan option in some countries." 

The new two-person YouTube Premium plan offers the same benefits as existing YouTube Premium tiers, including ad-free streaming, downloads for offline viewing, and the ability to stream videos in the background. 

Like Spotify's Duo tier, the two-person YouTube plan is especially enticing for couples and roommates, who can share a single subscription at a discount while still maintaining their own profiles. 

Spotify Duo, for example, costs $16.99 a month for two people under the same roof, versus $11.99 a month for just a single user. That means a pair of roomies could pay roughly $8.50 each per month by going Dutch on a Duo subsc
