Need a new display for your gaming rig? We’ve found some monitor deals that can help with that. This UltraGear OLED monitor is currently on sale for an astonishingly low price of $700. It’s still not cheap, but considering this OLED monitor is usually $1,500, it’s a nice deal. Read more about the UltraGear series below, then check out the deal in LG’s store.

Why you should buy the LG 48-inch UltraGear OLED Monitor

Optimized PC gaming relies on multiple components working in unison to achieve the kind of top-shelf visuals these displays are capable of. Thanks to the UltraGear’s HDMI 2.1 ports, you can expect lightning-fast response times from one of LG’s best. And when you add in 120Hz VRR performance (when using a compatible GPU), you’ll have no issue keeping up with friends and foes alike in some of your favorite games.

The best OLED TV deals are traditionally dominated by LG’s presence, and the brand’s breathtaking colors and contrast feel right at home on the UltraGear. Not to mention the 0.1ms response time, which all but eliminates ghosting during action-heavy sequences. While you may be using dedicated audio peripherals for your gaming sessions (and we’ve got some incredible headset deals for you to check out), the UltraGear’s 20W drivers push some pretty big sound for such a small chassis.

LG was also kind enough to provide a two-year limited warranty on the UltraGear. This gives you coverage for internal parts of the monitor, as well as some of its functional components. You’ll also be able to add an additional two years of coverage for an extra $80, or three years for $90.

These types of monitor deals come around only once in a while, so we highly advise you to take advantage of this UltraGear offer while you still can. Again, that’s an $800 markdown, putting the LG 49-inch UltraGear OLED Monitor on your desk for only $700.

I love the MacBook Pro, but this Windows laptop came surprisingly close

There are some great machines in the 15-inch laptop category, which has recently been stretched to include the more common 16-inch laptop. The best among them is the Apple MacBook Pro 16, which offers fast performance for tasks like video editing and the longest battery life.

The Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16 is aimed not only at other 16-inch Windows laptops but also at the MacBook Pro 16. It offers many of the same benefits but at a lower price. Can it take a place at the top?

How to set an ‘Out of Office’ message in Microsoft Teams

Person using Windows 11 laptop on their lap by the window.

Many people use Microsoft Teams regularly to communicate with colleagues both inside of the office and remotely. It is considered one of the most efficient ways to ensure you can stay in contact with the people on your team, but what if you need to let people know you’re not readily available? Microsoft Teams has a method for you to set up an "Out of Office" status for your profile to let staff members know when you’ll be gone for the afternoon, for several days on vacation, or for an extended period.
Where do I go to set up my ‘Out of Office’ status for Teams?
It is important to note that your Microsoft Teams and Outlook calendars are synced. This includes your out-of-office status and automatic replies. So, whatever you set up in Microsoft Teams will reflect in Outlook. Similarly, you can set up your out-of-office status in Outlook, and it will be reflected in Teams; however, the former has a more straightforward instruction.

First, you can click on your profile icon in Teams and go directly to Schedule an out of office, as a shortcut. This will take you to the settings area where you can proceed. You can also click the three-dot icon next to your profile icon, then go to Settings > General, then scroll down to the bottom of the page. There, you'll find out-of-office settings and click Schedule.
