Ultrawide curved monitors are still rare enough that they turn heads. Literally, because at 40 inches or more, you have to turn your head to take it all in. But ultrawide displays are increasingly popular alternatives to standard monitors and side-by-side dual monitors. The Lenovo Legion Y44w-10 is a real beast at 43.4 inches, and right now you can get …

The Eggtronic Wireless Charging Stone isn’t your run-of-the-mill Qi-compatible wireless charger. Finished in real marble, it looks genuinely stunning.

If that headline sounds familiar, it’s because I wrote about something similar a few weeks back. It was priced at $10.19 and sold out quickly. Thankfully, there’s a nearly identical (and slightly better) version available now for even less, and the vendor tells me they have a big chunk of inventory. For a limited time, and while supplies last, the …

The TCL 8 Series 75Q825 debuted late last year to glowing praise — not just from CNET’s David Katzmaier, but from reviewers far and wide. Ironically, TCL has long been known as a budget brand, but there was nothing low-end about this model — especially the $2,600 price tag. Just a few days ago, the 75Q825 was back on sale …

It’s a shame that Qi-compatible phones don’t ship with a charging pad, because a lot of people continue to charge their new phone with a clumsy cable rather than buying a charging pad. If you’ve never experienced the convenience of wireless charging, I have a few deals this week to encourage you to make the leap. ESR ESR Lounge Stand …
