NEC Introduces Three New MultiSync LCDs

Continuing the market trend toward ever larger and cheaper LCD displays, NEC announced three new big-screen desktop monitors on Thursday, all of which cost under $400. The MultiSync 5 line will now include a new standard-aspect 19-inch monitor, the LCD195NXM, plus widescreen 20- and 22-inch models with the LCD205WNXM and 22-inch LCD225WNXM, respectively.

Like many of NEC’s higher end monitors, the new MultiSyncs will include four-way adjustable stands, four-port USB hubs, down-firing speakers and optional touch-integration. NEC also claims their NaViSet graphical user interface makes adjusting monitor settings intuitive. Response times of 5ms should make the monitors suitable even for motion-intense applications like gaming or watching movies.

The LCD195NXM will be the first to hit store shelves in late November, with an estimated price tag of $299.99. The LCD205WNXM and LCD225WNXM models will follow in December at $364.99 and $389.99, respectively. Both will only come in black, while the 19-inch model will come in both black and a combination of silver and white.

At basically $105, the Ryzen 5 7600X is the best gaming CPU to buy right now

I don't usually get my hopes up for Black Friday CPU deals, but I found one that's just too good to pass up. Right now, you can get the Ryzen 5 7600X -- still one of the best processors for value-focused gaming -- for basically $105. No, that's not the actual price listed on Newegg where you'll find the deal, but there's a lot going on with this sale.

For starters, the CPU itself is marked down by 24%, bringing the $299 list price down to $225. Not a great deal for a last-gen chip. However, you can save an additional $30 by using the promo code BFEDY2A33, and more importantly, you'll get a free Kingston NV3 1TB hard drive with the order. That's a PCIe 4.0 SSD that normally costs $90.

This gorgeous Mac mini hub exacerbates the power button placement problem

M4 Mac mini with Satechi hub on a desk.

Satechi, known for its high-quality tech accessories, is updating its Mac mini hub for the new M4 model. Like previous hubs, it allows Mac mini owners to expand their storage and ports while preserving airflow, wireless signal, and performance. It looks awesome, but this time, the design highlights the problematic nature of the new Mac mini's placement of its power button.

With previous Mac mini models, the power button was at the back, making it easily accessible even when it was in a Satechi hub. The new button placement on the bottom of the PC, however, may prove even more annoying for anyone who wants to buy this accessory.
