It’s only been a few months since TCL introduced its QM6K series TVs (at the Consumer Electronics Show in January), the first in its extensive lineup to feature the company’s ‘Precise Dimming’ technology, and it’s already old news. The newer kid on the block is the QM7K series, the second in its Precise Dimming lineup with some notable upgrades. As with the QM6K, the new QM7K models are quantum dot mini LED (QD-mini LED) models.

NVIDIA’s team of driver engineers continue to try and eradicate reported black screen issues on its GeForce RTX 50 series graphics cards, and perhaps earlier generation models too. We’ve seen these efforts play out in the past several driver releases, including both regular ‘Game Ready’ releases and also out-of-band hotfixes. Pertaining to the latter, there’s another one available. The new 572.75 hotfix driver is based on the Game Ready 572.70 driver package that NVIDIA released

A shipping manifest spotted by X/Twitter user @harukaze5719 suggests that NVIDIA is getting around to announced a new generation of workstation graphics cards based on its Blackwell architecture, the same one powering its elusive (at retail) GeForce RTX 50 series lineup. The manifest highlights two models, including the RTX Pro 6000 X Blackwell and RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell (non-X). For anyone who doesn’t follow the professional graphics market, NVIDIA retired its Quadro branding back in

By many accounts, AMD’s much-anticipated retail launch of its Radeon RX 9070 XT and Radeon RX 9070 went a little more smoothly compared to NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 50 series, in terms of day-one availability. Even so, the first wave of cards still sold out rather quickly, especially for folks not close to a Micro Center. If you need a whole new desktop, though, you have options. This is probably going to the reality for a

It seems like there’s always some kind of sales event going on, and that’s because their usually is. Such is the case right now at Best Buy, which has pivoted from Presidents Day bargains last month to a weekend-long ‘Apple Sales Event’ with some deep discounts in effect from now until Sunday. One of them is a huge discount on a decked out iPad. That would be the 11-inch iPad Pro (4th Generation) that’s on

Few topics can be as divisive as PC versus console gaming, kind of like Ford versus Chevy or Coke versus Pepsi (or politics, if things get really heated). Not without irony, PCs and consoles are more alike than ever these days. Even so, a new report on projected game sales in the coming years is not going to do anything settle the debate. According to the report, the console gaming market is on pace to

The great graphics card shortage of 2025 (yes, I’m officially dubbing it as such now, at least in reference to NVIDIA’s newest generation GeForce RTX 50 series) is not only frustrating, it’s also stalling growth in the PC GPU market, according to the latest report by the bean counters (or would that be chip counters?) at Jon Peddie Research. Digging into the high-level overview takes some maneuvering, because the macro graphics market is a two

While many were expecting Apple to announce a new line of Macs this week (which it still might), we’re instead (for now) getting a couple of new iPad tablets, including an 6th generation iPad Air infused with Apple’s M3 silicon and a new baseline iPad powered by Apple’s A16 chip. Which one might be right for you? Let’s dig into the specs. Starting with the newest member of the iPad Air family, the 7th generation

Seeing smartphone makers trip over themselves in a suddenly emerging race to claim the title of world’s thinnest handset reminds us of the classic Saturday Night Live skit, the one where Will Ferrell pulls out a ridiculously tiny flip phone, much to the glee of Jimmy Fallon and guest host Sean Hayes, both of which broke character with laughter at the silliness of it all. We’re not quite there yet in real life, but there

We’re living in a moment in time where it seems like everything has gone up in price, from simple staples like eggs (thanks, bird flu) to advanced electronics like graphics cards (thanks AI demand-induced shortage and scalpers, among other factors). The dollar just doesn’t stretch as much as it used to, but there are exceptions. And that’s our focus for this deals roundup—everything listed here is under $100, including some discounts that bring prices down
