The cost of QD-OLED gaming monitors is going down, even as many other PC components are still soaring above their normal prices. If your budget is locked at

300, Samsung’s 27-inch 1440p model costs exactly that much thanks to a recent

50 discount at Amazon. Finding a good QD-OLED monitor under

500 these days is pretty easy, but under

300 is pretty rare. Its G50SF debuted at

499.99, but has spent the past six months bouncing back and forth between

350 and $450.

Despite being cheaper than Alienware’s awesome $350 AW2726DM and some competitors, the Samsung G50SF doesn’t make a ton of compromises. It has a thin design, variable refresh rate support, and the same fast .03-millisecond response time we expect from these panels. It has a Display Port port plus HDMI 2.0 and a headphone jack (most competing monitors have two HDMI ports). Unless you’re keen on getting a monitor that has a 240 Hz or faster refresh rate, you may not mind that this one tops out at 180 Hz (via Display Port), or 144 Hz via HDMI.

Maybe you knew that Best Buy’s in-house Insignia brand has its own Air Tag-like Bluetooth trackers, maybe you didn’t. I recently found out, and they’re surprisingly affordable; You can get a four-pack of its Apple Find My-compatible trackers for

19.99 (

10 off). It’s a nice price if you just want some low-cost trackers with lanyard hooks to attach to luggage before a trip. The tracker’s coin battery can be replaced, and its 65-decibel alarm can help you find lost items nearby. Insignia advertises up to a 164-foot Bluetooth range outdoors (or 65 feet indoors), but connecting them with Find My will let you track them from greater distances.

Sony is hosting a summer sale on physical Play Station 5 games, and it includes fairly new and notable releases like Saros (

49.99,

20 off), Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 (

29.99,

40 off), and Death Stranding 2: On The Beach (

39.88,

30 off), plus several other great games worth considering. The sale is happening at Amazon, Best Buy, and Game Stop. These are some of the biggest discounts we’ve seen on physical titles, and digital versions on the Play Station Store are matching these prices.

Those who work all day at a computer might be familiar with having sore wrists, particularly from using a mouse. A vertical mouse might help, and you can get one of the better wireless models out there — Logitech’s MX Vertical — for

46.80 at Woot with the code LOGITECH22 used at checkout (usually

77 elsewhere). The mouse recharges via USB-C and can last for months with a single charge, according to my colleague Victoria Song, who loves hers. It can connect to devices with its included 2.4GHz receiver, or Bluetooth.
