By Nick Mokey September 10, 2007

Gamers looking for fast response times in a widescreen LCD monitor will want to focus their eyes on NEC’s new AccuSync GX and CX series displays. The company’s latest offerings boast response times of 5ms, contrast ratios reaching 2,000:1 and sizes up to 24 inches.

The largest monitor in the lineup, the behemoth AccuSync LCD24WMCX, has a native resolution of 1920 x 1200, while the smaller LCD22WMGX runs at 1680 x 1050 and the LCD19CMGX runs at 1440 x 900. The smallest monitor pushes an adequate contrast ratio of 1,000:1 while both larger models get a more impressive 2,000:1 ratio. The larger models also come with component inputs to display video from DVD players and game consoles, and a special DV mode with six presets for viewing preferences.

M3 Macs may launch this year — with a surprising addition

Apple's 15-inch MacBook Air placed on a desk.

We’ve only just gotten a bunch of new Macs from Apple, with the 15-inch MacBook Air launching a mere one month ago alongside a slate of other Apple computers. Yet the company is already gearing up to release M3 Macs at a special event later this year, and they could be the biggest performance upgrade we’ve seen in years.

This idea comes from journalist Mark Gurman, who has correctly predicted many upcoming products and details in Apple’s lineup. In his latest Power On newsletter, Gurman explains that, while there will be a whole heap of new devices arriving at an event in October, they won’t include Apple’s high-end laptops and desktops.

Intel is expected to introduce its new range of 14th-gen desktop processors later this year. While we don’t have a whole lot of official information yet, a new leak now suggests that one can expect a considerable boost in the core count for the cheaper processors in the lineup.

According to the information shared by Red Gaming Tech, Intel's upcoming 14th-gen range will be referred to as "Raptor Lake Refresh" instead of the previously rumored Meteor Lake series. The new 14th-gen range of CPUs is expected to feature the same architecture and core design as the existing 13th-gen Raptor Lake CPUs -- but with some minor tweaks.

A bunch of mid-range graphics cards fresh out the gate are already seeing hefty price cuts in an apparent bid to drum up interest, from Nvidia’s RTX 4060 Ti and RTX 4060 to AMD’s RX 7600. It’s not a good look, and it comes just as Nvidia is allegedly preparing to launch a new version of the 4060 Ti.

The news was spotted by VideoCardz, where the authors noticed that Spanish retailer Coolmod had slashed the prices of several GPUs by significant margins.
