CES is always full of futuristic technology announcements, but often, it’s also filled with practical tech. Computers monitors are essential to many of our workflows, especially in the era of COVID-19. So what were the best new monitors announced at CES 2021? Read on to find out.
Best overall: LG Ultrafine OLED Pro
LG’s new Ultrafine OLED Pro isn’t just your standard 31.5-inch 4K display. Even though OLED technology has become mainstream in smartphones and more prevalent in TVs, it’s still quite rare to find the tech in computer monitors.

The Asus Zenfone 6 impressed the hell out of us when we first got our hands on it. Unfortunately, it’s been very difficult for everyone else to get their hands on an Asus Zenfone 6 here in the United States — but that’s changing as of today.
The device is also still available for pre-order from B&H Photo — but that listing still doesn’t say when the phone will actually ship.
Samsung is in the same boat with the Galaxy S9. Like the Galaxy S8 before it, Samsung’s 2018 flagship sports a similar design, display, and many of the same internal specs as its predecessor.
If you’re looking for a good, small flagship smartphone, which one’s best? Find out in our Google Pixel 3 vs Samsung Galaxy S9 comparison.
Google Pixel 3 vs Samsung Galaxy S9: The specsThese are similarly sized phones released in 2018, so it’s no surprise they come with similar spec sheets.
Realme Realme 3
The Realme 3 still offers good value for money, but it's not as impressive as some of the company's previous offerings. Mainly because it uses the same hardware a year later!
In the past, I’ve described Realme phones as the Pocophones of the lower price bracket: basic devices with nothing to shout about, until you consider the price. For around $100, Realme has historically offered pretty much everything you really need from a 2019 phone without serious compromises.

TL;DR
There will no longer be Samsung ads in some of its first-party smartphone apps. The first two apps to lose advertisements are Samsung Pay and Samsung Health. Samsung Themes will eventually join the club, but there’s no date for that yet. One of the coolest aspects of Samsung’s Android skin known as One UI is that it mostly works the same across its entire lineup.
As we all know, Samsung introduced a major design and build quality overhaul to their Galaxy S series last year, and we also got our first look at the all new Edge variant of the Galaxy S6. While largely similar to its flagship counterpart, what made the Galaxy S6 Edge stand out from its sibling and the competition was the unique dual curved edges of the screen, which proved to be very popular.

TL;DR
YouTube might move all of its children-focused content to the YouTube Kids app. Some are also reportedly suggesting to remove YouTube’s recommendations system for children’s content. No imminent decision is expected on the matter. According to a report from The Wall Street Journal earlier today, YouTube is thinking about moving all children’s content to the standalone YouTube Kids service. The possible changes are reportedly under discussion, though no imminent action is expected.
Android is already the top smartphone operating system in the world, and is taking over the tablet market, too. As an Android lover, I couldn’t be happier about it. Oh wait, maybe I could be… What if the little green robot would make the jump to an entire new class of devices? No, I am not thinking about computers, although Google certainly thinks about that possibility.I am talking about something bigger and way more exciting.
