Editor's Note: July 2022 We're rounding the halfway mark on 2022, and this year's best ultrawide monitor models are starting to fill up store shelves, both the physical and digital kind. It's also a time to wave goodbye to some discontinued monitors, like the BenQ EX3510R, which was one of our favorite ultrawide monitors on this list. Fortunately, BenQ has released the EX3410R, which is a slightly smaller but more capable ultrawide than the EX3510R. It is much faster, both in refresh and pixel response, and has slightly better contrast and brightness as well. Best of all, it's a good deal less expensive, so you're getting a much better value any way you look at it. - John Loeffler, US Computing Editor Getting the best ultrawide monitor you can afford will probably feel like a bit of a flex for a lot of people, a way to make a statement more than serve a purpose. In a world dominated by 16:9 aspect in TVs, film, and displays of all kinds, it makes sense to ask what the … [Read more...] about Best ultrawide monitors 2022: the top 21:9 monitors we’ve tested

The Delaware Court of Chancery handed Elon Musk an unfavorably speedy schedule last month in his ongoing fight to not buy Twitter, and now we’ve got specific dates for the trial : Elon and Twitter will square off from October 17th to October 21st. That leaves two and a half months for both parties to fight over what evidence they’ll get to introduce, and Twitter has already started digging — while Musk has been preparing a counterstrike with whatever dirt he’s already got. As The Washington Post and the newsletter The Chancery Daily reported earlier this week, Twitter has cast a broad net of subpoenas over Musk’s business dealings.

First look at Meta’s Project Cambria VR headset leaves us underwhelmed
Audio player loading… After months of promising that its Project Cambria headset would revolutionize the worlds of virtual, augmented, and mixed reality, Meta’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg has finally given us a first look at what it can do; and we’re a more than a little underwhelmed. Following on from the runaway success that has been the Meta Quest 2 (formerly Oculus Quest 2) Meta’s next headset has been set up perfectly for a homerun. VR is more popular than ever and the Quest 2 leads the pack with its standalone design, impressive capabilities, and library of incredible (and exclusive) VR games . Project Cambria is set to adopt everything that made the Quest 2 great but will take everything up a level with improved specs and features. One such upgrade is color passthrough, a tool that will allow Cambria wearers to see the real world around them in full color rather than in monochrome like on the Quest 2.
