·2 views

LG's 27-inch UltraGear Glossy WOLED gaming monitor (model 27GX704A-B) is currently on sale for $379.99 at Amazon and LG's own website, roughly $70 off its recent price and a new record low. Originally priced at $799.99 at launch, the monitor has been available for under $500 since May 2024. The display features 1440p resolution, a glossy coating, a 240Hz refresh rate, and a 0.03ms response time, with support for both Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro. Unlike most sub-$400 OLED monitors that use QD-OLED panels, LG's WOLED technology delivers more accurate blacks without a bluish tint, while the glossy screen enhances color vibrancy. Connectivity options include two HDMI 2.1 ports, DisplayPort 1.4, and USB-A ports, and the monitor supports VESA mounting alongside a fully adjustable stand.

Ford bets on $30,000 electric truck after $19.5B EV loss

Ford is developing a new budget electric truck priced at around $30,000, set to be revealed in 2027 and built at its Kentucky assembly plant. The vehicle is part of Ford's new Universal Electric Vehicle Platform, designed to prioritize efficiency and profitability after the discontinuation of the F-150 Lightning. Spy shots of the heavily camouflaged prototype suggest the truck may be smaller than Ford's existing Maverick compact pickup. The shift comes after Ford reported a staggering $19.5 billion loss on its EV investments in 2025, highlighting the company's struggle to produce profitable electric vehicles. Ford executives say the future of their EV strategy lies in affordable, right-sized vehicles rather than large trucks with no clear path to profitability.
