LG 25-inch ultrawide monitor

Monitors continue to get larger and wider as manufacturers offer an increasing array of resolutions and aspect ratios. Selecting the right display can make all the difference when building or upgrading your desktop computer, especially when it comes to watching movies, playing video games, and doing work that requires a lot of multitasking. One popular standout contender in this arena is

The LG 25UM57 offers an extra-wide 21:9 aspect ratio, giving you a considerable increase in desktop real estate over traditional 16:9 widescreen monitors. The full HD panel uses bright LED technology and boasts a full HD resolution of 2560 x 1080 for a crisp and clear picture. Dynamic Action Sync and Black Stabilizer increase visual clarity, while the IPS screen looks great from almost any angle, preventing picture washout when you shift positions or aren’t looking at the display head-on. With several different pr-set viewing modes, the LG 25-inch ultrawide monitor is more than capable of meeting the needs of avid gamers and movie junkies alike.

Along with increased size and picture quality, users have also demanded more multitasking capability from their machines as computers become increasingly integrated into our daily activities. Many have resorted to expensive multimonitor setups to meet this need, but manufacturers like LG have answered this demand by offering increasingly wider displays. Along with its extra-wide aspect ratio, the LG 25UM57 features a unique four-screen split feature. This function allows you to set up multiple workspaces on the screen, reducing the need for complicated and cluttered multi-monitor setups. The display features more than 99 percent coverage of the sRBG color spectrum, making it ideal for color-sensitive work like photography and graphic design.

If you've been waiting for a discount on the GoPro Hero 11 Black, check this out -- the action camera is down to $400 from Best Buy, for savings of $100 on its original price of $500. GoPro is still the most trusted name in the action camera space, so we expect this offer to attract a lot of attention and possibly sell out quickly. If you want to get the device for cheaper than usual, you're going to have to proceed with the purchase as soon as you can.

Why you should buy the GoPro Hero 11 Black
The GoPro Hero 11 Black looks very similar to the GoPro Hero 10 Black, which is a pro-consumer move because that means you can keep using accessories from the older model when you upgrade. All of the improvements are under the hood though, including a larger sensor that will let you shoot horizontal and vertical footage at the same time without having to choose between the two formats. The GoPro Hero 11 Black can shoot 5.3K video at up to 60 frames per second, 4K at up to 120 frames per second, and 2.7K at up to 240 frames per second for super slow-motion.
