    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    AOC has announced a new gaming monitor which runs at a native 1,000Hz refresh rate. TechPowerUp posted the press release for the Agon Pro AGP257FT, which is a 24.5-inch Full HD IPS monitor offering a response time of 0.3ms (grey-to-grey) and DisplayHDR 400 support.

    Read excerpt

    Windows 11's annual update has arrived, and while 26H2 doesn't bring in notable new features, it should trigger the rollout of functionality from earlier this year – if you still don't have some of those bits and pieces.
