The best monitors for every budget in 2025

by admin September 26, 2025

Monitors are more than screens to plug into your PC — they shape how you work, play and create. Whether you need the best monitor for gaming, video editing or everyday tasks, there are plenty of options that balance price, performance and design.

In 2025, you’ll find everything from compact displays for light work to massive widescreen panels that make multitasking a breeze. A new monitor might also mean sharper images with high resolution panels, or better comfort with IPS displays that offer accurate colors and wide viewing angles.

Of course, not every job calls for 4K or higher. Sometimes a lower resolution option makes more sense, especially if you want to save money or don’t have a powerful GPU. With so many types of monitors on the market, the right choice comes down to your setup and the kind of work (or play) you plan to do.

Best monitors for 2025

SAMSUNG

The best budget monitor with a balance of size, refresh rate and color accuracy is Samsung’s 27-inch 1080p T35F. It’s good for business or light PC gaming and content work, thanks to the IPS panel and 75Hz refresh rate. Plus, it’s fairly attractive and modern looking. There are some things you don’t get at that price, of course – it can only tilt and has just an HDMI 1.4 connection.

$153 at Amazon

BenQ

If you’re good with a 24-inch 1080p display, BenQ’s EX240 offers a fantastic mix of image quality, brightness and speed. The key selling point is the 165Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time, both excellent for a monitor in this price range. At the same time it puts out a very respectable 350 nits of brightness and offers punchy colors and good viewing angles. It also looks like it costs a lot more, making it a very good value overall.

$105 at Amazon

The 28-inch HP V28 4K HDR monitor is a great all around choice, especially for entertainment or content creation. The 60Hz IPS panel and factory calibration delivers excellent color accuracy and it’s a nice size for creative or business work. It comes with DisplayPort, HDMI and three USB 3.0 ports, along with a USB-C port with 65W of charging for a laptop or tablet. And it’s easy to set just right, thanks to its height, swivel and pivot adjustments.

$219 at Amazon

ASUS

The ASUS ProArt PA279C is a great content creation monitor for the price due to the 4K resolution and remarkable color accuracy straight from the factory. At the same time, it offers decent brightness at 350 nits, a wide 180 degree viewing angle and excellent ergonomics. It even has an HDR setting, though the monitor isn’t really bright enough for true HDR editing, and color accuracy falls off a bit at that setting.

$400 at Amazon

Dell

The Dell UltraSharp U2723QE is a perfect monitor for content creators thanks to the IPS Black panel that allows a true 2000:1 contrast ratio. It also offers 98 percent coverage of the DCI-P3 HDR color space with 1.07 billion colors (via 8-bit + FRC) — excellent numbers for a monitor under $500. It also has a wide array of ports, including USB-C, HDMI and DisplayPort, along with a Gigabit Ethernet port, five USB-A ports, two USB-C ports (one with 90W charging) and a KVM switch for use with multiple computers at once.

$529 at Amazon

If you want bang for the buck in terms of size, look no farther than the 32-inch LG 32UN650-W. It comes with a 31.5-inch 60Hz IPS 10-bit panel (8-bit + FRC to be exact) that covers an excellent 95 percent of the DCI-P3 gamut and displays up to 1.07 billion colors. At the same time, it supports HDR, albeit with just 350 nits maximum brightness, along with AMD FreeSync to improve smoothness when gaming. It’s great ergonomically as well thanks to the tilt and height adjustments, and it even comes with built-in speakers.

$390 at Amazon

Dell

Alienware’s 27-inch 280Hz QD-OLED Monitor (AW2725D) is in the upper end of this category, but the price point may be a new low for a QD-OLED monitor. It combines QHD resolution with a high-speed 280Hz refresh rate and true 10-bit display with 99.3 percent DCI-P3 coverage, allowing sharp high-quality visuals along with a smooth gaming experience. Oh, and there is one other catch — you’ll need to wait until this summer to buy one.

$800 at Dell

ViewSonic

ViewSonic’s ColorPro VP2786 27-inch 4K HDR monitor offers a great balance of resolution, color accuracy or brightness for content creators. The true 10-bit IPS panel covers 98 percent of the DCI-P3 color palette with an excellent Delta <2 accuracy figure, and is certified for soft-proofing by the demanding Fogra print industry. At the same time, it offers HDR10 support, albeit with a limited 350 nits of output. It even includes a “ColorPro” wheel control compatible with Adobe or Capture One apps.

$1,000 at Amazon

ASUS

The OLED benefits of the ASUS Rog Swift OLED PG32UCDM are crystal clear as it offers nearly everything creators or gamers would want: 1,000 nits of brightness in HDR mode, true 10-bit with 99 percent DCI-P3 coverage for maximum color accuracy and a 240Hz refresh rate with an incredible 0.03 ms response time. Contrast is also top-notch thanks to the QD-OLED display’s ability to flip individual pixels completely off. It’s also on point in terms of connections with a 90W USB-C charging point, plus both HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 available. Note that it lists for over $1,000 but it can often be found on sale at or below that price.

$1,000 at Amazon

Dell

Dell’s P3223QE 4K USB-C Hub monitor is productivity-oriented, thanks to its wired Ethernet connectivity and USB-C ports that offer up to 90W of power delivery for laptops. It’s a 4K IPS panel with a 178-degree viewing angle and 350 nits of brightness and support for a billion colors (8-bit + FRC). It offers height, pivot, swivel and tilt adjustment, a VESA mounting interface and DisplayPort/HDMI inputs.

AOC

For more on this subject it’s best to check out Engadget’s gaming monitor guide, but here, we highlight two top picks from that story.

The Q27G3XMN offers a nearly unbeatable mix of features, performance and affordability. It’s a mini-LED monitor with HDR performance that’s not as good as the OLEDs on this list (though far brighter overall), but better than anything you’ll find on an edge-lit LCD. With a 180Hz refresh rate, it’s also speedy enough for all but the most fast-paced competitive esports games. Best of all, it’s priced affordably at under $300. For those reasons, unless you have a bigger budget or more specific needs, the Q27G3XMN is going to be the best bet for most people.

$270 at Amazon

Alienware

If you want a gaming monitor that basically does it all, the Alienware AW2725DF has a lot going for it. This QD-OLED features a 360Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms response. It also carries a Vesa DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification, so expect near-flawless HDR performance. It even has a HDMI 2.1 port if you want to use it with an Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5. From a performance standpoint, the only downside is that it won’t produce true blacks in rooms with too much ambient light. However, this is true of every QD-OLED monitor on the market right now.

At close to $1,000, it’s also expensive. But for what it’s worth, the OLED market is incredibly competitive at the moment. I’ve seen the AW2725DF go on sale a few times over the past couple of months, dropping to as low as $700.

$730 at Amazon

Apple

In general, monitor compatibility issues with MacBooks and Macs are a thing of the past, though you can still experience issues with things like refresh rates, particularly on M1 Macs. If you’d prefer to stay within the Apple family, the most cost-effective option is still the 27-inch Apple Studio Display. It supports 5K resolution (5,120 x 2,880) with up to 600 nits of brightness, so it can handle creative chores with ease. It even includes a 12-megapixel UltraWide camera that keeps you in frame via Center Stage, along with a three-mic array, so you won’t have to spend extra on a webcam

$1,679 at Amazon

Lenovo

This category also has its own guide, but we’re including the best travel monitor as this category applies to a lot of buyers.

If you’re always on the go, Lenovo’s M14t Gen2 mobile monitor makes it easy to bring a nice second display anywhere you want. Its 14-inch panel features a 2,240 x 1,400 resolution with a 100 percent sRGB color gamut and a 16:10 aspect ratio for a little extra vertical screen space. It also supports USB-C power pass-through (up to 65 watts) so it can conveniently share juice with a connected device like a phone or laptop. You even get sketching support thanks to Lenovo’s included stylus. Best of all, the stand tilts from zero to 90 degrees so it can fit even in tight spaces and it’s portable enough to cross the globe at just 1.5 pounds.

$281 at Amazon

ASUS

ASUS has lowered the price for its high-end ProArt PA32UCXR reference monitor to just $3,000 , making it a true bargain for a no-compromise display. It delivers up to 1,600 nits of peak brightness and is DisplayHDR 1400 certified thanks to the mini LED display tech with 2,304 local dimming zones. The true 10-bit panel also offers 98 percent DCI-P3 and Rec.2020 coverage and supports Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG HDR modes, and color accuracy is calibrated to Delta E < 1, less than nearly any monitor on the market.

If that’s not enough, it supports up to a 120Hz refresh rate and has a 5-millisecond response time, while supporting AMD FreeSync — making it perfect for gaming creation artists.

On top of this model, ASUS now makes several slightly less bright and much less expensive variants, including the $1,300 PA32UCRK, offering 1,000 nits of brightness and a 60Hz (not 120Hz) refresh rate. Specs are nearly identical otherwise.

Factors to consider before buying a monitor

Panel type

The cheapest monitors are still TN (twisted nematic), which are strictly for gamers or office use. VA (vertical alignment) monitors are also relatively cheap, while offering good brightness and a high contrast ratio. However, content creators will find that LCD, IPS displays (in-plane switching) deliver better color accuracy, pixel density, picture quality and wide viewing angles — making them a strong option for general computer monitor use.

If maximum brightness is important, a quantum dot LCD display is the way to go — those are typically found in larger displays. OLED panels are now available and offer the best blacks and color reproduction, but they lack the brightness of LED or quantum dot displays. Plus, they’re expensive. The latest type of OLED monitor, called QD-OLED from Samsung, is now common among gaming monitors. The most notable advantage is that it can get a lot brighter, with recent models hitting up to 1,000 nits+ of peak brightness.

MiniLEDs are now widely used in high-end displays. They’re similar to quantum dot tech, but as the name suggests, it uses smaller LED diodes that are just 0.2mm in diameter. As such, manufacturers can pack in up to three times more LEDs with more local dimming zones, delivering deeper blacks and better contrast. MiniLED displays also tend to offer excellent backlight control, making them a great choice for HDR content and video editing.

Screen size, resolution and display format

Where 24-inch displays used to be more or less standard (and can still be useful for basic computing), 27-, 32-, 34- and even 42-inch displays have become popular for entertainment, content creation and even gaming these days.

Nearly every monitor used to be 16:9, but it’s now possible to find 16:10 and other more exotic display shapes. On the gaming and entertainment side, we’re also seeing curved monitors and widescreen ultrawide monitors with aspect ratios like 21:9. If you do decide to buy an ultrawide display, however, keep in mind that a 30-inch 21:9 model is the same height as a 24-inch monitor, so you might end up with a smaller display than you expected.

A 4K monitor is nearly a must for content creators, and some folks are even going for 5K or all the way up to 8K. Keep in mind, though, that you’ll need a pretty powerful computer with a decent graphics card to drive all those sharp pixels. And 4K higher resolution should be paired with a screen size of 27 inches and up, or you won’t notice much difference between 1440p. At the same time, I wouldn’t get a model larger than 27 inches unless it’s 4K, as you’ll start to see pixelation if you’re working up close to the display. That’s when a lower resolution monitor shows its limits.

One new monitor category to consider is portable monitors designed to be carried and used with laptops. Those typically come in 1080p resolutions and sizes from 13-15 inches. They usually have a lightweight kickstand-type support that folds up to keep things compact and maximize portability and functionality.

HDR

HDR adds vibrancy to entertainment and gaming – but be careful before jumping in. Some monitors that claim HDR on their marketing materials don’t even conform to a base standard. To be sure that a display at least meets minimum HDR specs, you’ll want to choose one with a DisplayHDR rating with each tier representing maximum brightness in nits.

However, the lowest DisplayHDR 400 and 500 tiers may disappoint you with a lack of brightness, washed out blacks and mediocre color reproduction. If you can afford it, the best monitor to choose is a model with DisplayHDR 600, 1000 or True Black 400, True Black 500 and True Black 600.

Where televisions typically offer HDR10 and Dolby Vision or HDR10+, most PC monitors only support the HDR10 standard, other than a few (very expensive) models. That doesn’t matter much for content creation or gaming, but HDR streaming on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and other services won’t look quite as punchy. In addition, the best gaming monitors are usually the ones supporting HDR600 (and up), rather than content creation monitors – with a few exceptions.

Refresh rate

High refresh rate is a key feature, particularly on gaming monitors. A bare minimum nowadays is 60Hz, and 80Hz and higher refresh rates are much easier on the eyes. However, most 4K displays top out at 60Hz with some rare exceptions and the HDMI 2.0 spec only supports 4K at 60Hz, so you’d need at least DisplayPort 1.4 (4K at 120Hz) or HDMI 2.1. The latter is now available on a number of monitors, particularly gaming displays. However, it’s only supported by the latest NVIDIA RTX 3000- and 4000-series, AMD RX 6000-series GPUs. Support for G-Sync and AMD FreeSync is also something to look for if you want to eliminate screen tearing and stuttering during fast-paced gameplay — especially when paired with a high refresh rate.

Inputs

There are essentially three types of modern display inputs: Thunderbolt, DisplayPort and HDMI. Most monitors built for PCs come with the latter two, while a select few (typically built for Macs) will use Thunderbolt. To add to the confusion, USB-C ports may be Thunderbolt 3, and by extension, DisplayPort compatible, so you may need a USB-C to Thunderbolt or DisplayPort cable adapter depending on your display.

Color bit depth

Serious content creators should consider a more costly 10-bit monitor that can display billions of colors. If budget is an issue, you can go for an 8-bit panel that can fake billions of colors via dithering (often spec’d as “8-bit + FRC”). For entertainment or business purposes, a regular 8-bit monitor that can display millions of colors will be fine.

Color gamut

The other aspect of color is the gamut. That expresses the range of colors that can be reproduced and not just the number of colors. Most good monitors these days can cover the sRGB and Rec.709 gamuts (designed for photos and video respectively). For more demanding work, though, you’ll want one that can reproduce more demanding modern gamuts like AdobeRGB, DCI-P3 and Rec.2020 gamuts, which encompass a wider range of colors. The latter two are often used for film projection and HDR, respectively.

Monitor FAQs

Is OLED better than mini-LED for monitors?

OLED is better than mini-LED in many areas but not all. Here are the advantages of OLED panels:

OLED monitors don’t have any “blooming” or halos around bright parts of the image.
OLEDs have blacks with zero brightness, which is not achievable on mini-LED. That means they also have higher contrast ratios.
OLEDs consume less energy.
OLEDs have faster response times for gaming.

And here are the advantages of mini-LED monitors:

They are brighter (often much brighter), so it can be better for HDR content.
They don’t suffer from burn-in like OLED can.

What size monitor is best for a home office?

This depends on the individual. For normal use, 27-32 inches is the sweet spot. If you’re one who likes many windows open at a time (like a stock broker), then you might want to go up to 37 or even 42 inches.

Are curved monitors worth it for gaming?

If you need as much speed as possible, a curved monitor lets you rapidly look around the screen without changing focus or moving your head as much compared to a flat screen. It also provides more immersion. The drawback is that curved displays tend to be wider so they take up more desk space. They’re also generally more expensive.

This 27-Inch ASUS TUF Gaming Monitor Has Never Been This Cheap Before, Now With 3-Year Warranty Included

by admin September 26, 2025

Gamers who love multiplayer online combat games where teamwork is key — think Helldivers II or Marvel Rivals — are all too aware that it only takes one laggy teammate to kill an entire mission. It’s not always a slow internet connection or console either — a subpar monitor with a bad refresh time can spell doom for the whole team.

If you end up being that guy who says “sorry, my screen is slow” one time too many, you might find your team membership revoked. This limited-time Amazon deal that guy-proofs you and ensures your screen is totally ready for combat: Act now and save 30% off the price of the 27-inch ASUS TUF gaming monitor, a 1440p QHD gaming superstar with a blistering 260Hz refresh rate, Adaptive Sync technology, and many more features that will upgrade your gaming performance. It’s just $229 while this deal is in effect.

Silky Smooth, Lightning Quick

First things first — the ultra-fast 260Hz overclocked refresh rate and 1 ms pixel response time. No blur, smooth frames, or delay, even in the fastest action of your favorite shooter or racing game. ASUS doubled down on killing the bluir with their ELMB Sync tech (Extreme Low Motion Blur), and adaptive sync options that keeps things moving even if your graphics card is having a hard time. That translates to less tearing.

The colors pop too, and the anti-glare coating is a huge plus if your rig is located with your back to a window. That, of course, comes in handy if you decide to take a break from gaming to enjoy some streaming or YouTube.

Not a Space Hog

The ASUS TUF monitor won’t require a total overhaul of your gaming space either. It’s razor thin and weighs only 11 pounds, meaning it’s also easily wall-mountable of you go that route. The display port and two HDMI 2.0 ports are located in the back of the unit along with an earphone jack, and it comes with DisplayPort and HDMI cables so you can go from unboxing to heavy-duty action in mere minutes.

The 30% off deal happening right now at Amazon on the 27-inch ASUS TUF gaming monitor translates to a $100 price break, and also to one of the best $230 gaming monitors you’ll find. Finding a gaming monitor with enough speed to keep up with the most intense action gaming at this price is beyond rare, but as limited time deals do, this one could end at any time.

Elon Musk’s xAI Sues OpenAI Again, This Time Over Alleged Trade Secret Theft

by admin September 26, 2025

In brief

Elon Musk’s xAI has sued OpenAI, alleging it induced former employees to steal source code and data center deployment strategies.
The AI company alleges OpenAI targeted employees with knowledge of its “secret sauce” data center operations, with one executive refusing to sign confidentiality documents after leaving for OpenAI.
One engineer allegedly admitted in a “handwritten confession” to misappropriating code after encrypted communications with an OpenAI recruiter.

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company xAI filed a federal lawsuit on Wednesday against OpenAI, accusing its rival of orchestrating a “coordinated, unfair, and unlawful campaign” to steal proprietary technology through targeted employee poaching.

The complaint, filed in California, alleges OpenAI “by hook or by crook” induced former xAI employees to misappropriate the company’s entire source code, training methods, and data center deployment strategies.

Musk, a co-founder of OpenAI alongside Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, Illya Sutskever, and others in 2015, stepped down from the board in 2018, citing conflicts of interest with his company, Tesla, and its self-driving cars. Since then, the tech billionaire has assumed a combative stance against OpenAI, including filing a separate lawsuit last month.

OpenAI recruiter Tifa Chen simultaneously targeted multiple xAI employees, offering multi-million dollar packages to engineers who then stole source code and uploaded it to personal devices within hours of their communications, the lawsuit alleges.

Xuechen Li, an early xAI engineer, allegedly “uploaded the entire xAI source code base to a personal cloud account” in July 2025, and later “admitted in a handwritten confession” that he misappropriated xAI’s code and presentation materials on training techniques.

The lawsuit details timestamps showing Li’s code theft occurred within hours of encrypted Signal messages with Chen, who allegedly responded “no way!” after Li copied the files, before OpenAI extended its multi-million dollar offer.

Jimmy Fraiture, another early xAI engineer, allegedly “used the AirDrop feature to transfer” confidential source code “at least five times” after signing with OpenAI, stealing “the majority of xAI’s code” he oversaw, plus experimental folders from four co-founders.

An unnamed senior finance executive who left for OpenAI allegedly called these operations xAI’s “secret sauce,” saying, “The data center team. Their speed and precision blew me away. I would NEVER want to compete against them.”

The executive then took a lesser role at OpenAI, focused on data center spending strategy even though he had no prior AI experience, and when confronted about confidentiality obligations, allegedly “responded with crude sexual expletives” and refused to sign termination documents.

Navodaya Singh Rajpurohit, legal partner at Coinque Consulting, told Decrypt the case “leans heavily on employee poaching,” noting that whether it crosses from aggressive recruiting to unlawful misappropriation “will depend on evidence not included in the filing,” and that “hiring alone is rarely enough to prove trade-secret misuse.”

Ishita Sharma, managing partner at Fathom Legal, told Decrypt that xAI must define its “secret sauce” broadly, grouping GPU racking, vendor contracts, pricing curves, and orchestration playbooks, which, she noted, can be described “by the results they deliver — like faster deployment or cheaper scaling, without putting the exact technical diagrams or formulas on the record.”

Sharma said “the recruiter angle is trickier,” since liability depends on whether recruiters acted as agents of OpenAI with the company’s knowledge.

For OpenAI’s defense, she explained, the strongest approach would be to show independent creation through “time-stamped records: internal Git commits, R&D notes, supplier invoices, and emails,” with earlier documentation providing the most credibility.

xAI seeks damages, restitution, and injunctions requiring OpenAI to purge xAI material from its systems and even destroy models built with it.

The lawsuit adds to Musk’s ongoing legal battle with OpenAI, as last month, his companies filed an antitrust suit against Apple and OpenAI, claiming their exclusive iPhone integration creates unfair market dominance.

Crypto Fear & Greed Index Now Echoes $83,000 Bitcoin Price

by admin September 26, 2025

Key points:

The Crypto Fear & Greed Index is back at levels not seen since Bitcoin traded at $83,000.
Analysis wonders whether the BTC price “turning point” is already here.
Social media user behavior already suggests that a price rebound should take place next.

Bitcoin (BTC) sentiment collapsed overnight Thursday as the latest BTC price dip forced fresh liquidations.

Fresh data from the Crypto Fear & Greed Index shows that “fear” now drives the mood.

Bitcoin sentiment echoes April lows

Bitcoin, nearing new monthly lows under $109,000, had a near-instant impact on market sentiment.

The Fear & Greed Index, which lags market movements, hit just 28/100 on Friday, marking its lowest levels since April 11. The index fell 16 points in a single day.

“MORE fear and a HIGHER price,” crypto YouTube channel host Michael Pizzino summarized in part of an X post on the topic.

Pizzino referred to the emerging divergence between price and sentiment.

The last time that the Fear & Greed Index was below 30/100, BTC/USD traded at around $83,000, days after its recovery from $75,000 lows, data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView confirms.

As a result, accompanying analysis argues that the time is right for a market reversal.

“Could this be the turning point Bitcoin and Crypto has been waiting for? The analysis looks good, but it has not been confirmed,” Pizzino added.

Fear & Greed has been no stranger to erratic moves in 2025. As Cointelegraph reported, in February, the Index collapsed to just 10/100 thanks to macroeconomic uncertainty focused on US trade tariffs.

“Impatience and bearishness” rule BTC price takes

Some signals of an impending BTC price rebound emerged even before the latest dip.

On Tuesday, research platform Santiment showed that social media users were already convinced that lower prices would soon come.

“As usual, social media is vocal on where Bitcoin will head next. Historically, lower price predictions increase the likelihood, and higher predictions imply lower future prices,” it explained to X followers.

Santiment described a “high amount of impatience and bearishness emerging from the retail crowd.”

At the same time, data revealed that large-volume traders were adding exposure in recent days.

India’s IT Department Uncovers $19M Crypto Fraud Targeting Farmers

by admin September 26, 2025

The Income Tax (IT) Department has unwrapped a fraudulent crypto scheme in the southern states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. The scheme involved identity theft, where the fraudsters used the identities of unsuspecting ordinary citizens to carry out trading activities.

According to a Times of India report, this was uncovered after the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) flagged 20 suspicious cases. Following this lead, officials from the Income Tax Department visited several remote villages across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Investigators have been able to verify nine cases where the trading amount reached INR 170 crores, approximately $19.31 million.

In each case, investigators found that ordinary citizens such as farmers and delivery workers were linked to high-value crypto trades. Several people whose names came up in the investigation were astonished when they were approached by officials. When questioned, these individuals denied any involvement, revealing that they had zero knowledge about cryptocurrencies and that they also had no idea their IDs were being used for trading cryptocurrencies.

From farms to fraud

The investigators carried out a probe in more than five districts in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Sources also confirmed that most individuals linked to these trades are from lower socioeconomic strata, having no financial literacy, let alone knowledge of cryptocurrencies.

S Narasimha, a farmer whose identity was stolen for the purchase of a cryptocurrency worth INR 9.5 crore, claimed, “We don’t even know what Bitcoin is.” In another case, Shiva Pamula, a food delivery partner being shown to carry out massive volume trades, said he didn’t have an idea about crypto or the trading.

Larger identity theft suspected

The IT officials have cautioned that these verified nine cases may represent only a small fraction of a far larger fraudulent scheme. The racket appears to operate via the theft or falsification of Permanent Account Number (PAN) cards, an identification card issued by the IT department, and other personal details of ordinary citizens. All individuals whose names were used reportedly were non-filers of income tax returns, suggesting the misuse was designed to avoid detection through standard tax filings. The case raises serious concerns about fraud, cybersecurity, and regulatory oversight in India’s rapidly growing crypto sector.

Crypto crimes on the rise across the globe

This is the latest addition to the increasing crypto-related crimes across the world. European nations such as France and the UK have become a hotspot for crypto-related crimes. Earlier this month, the French police detained seven people in relation to the kidnapping of a 20-year-old Swiss man.

Additionally, in August, an Indian court sentenced a former Parliamentarian and senior police officers to life imprisonment in connection with a 2018 Bitcoin extortion and kidnapping case. These incidents highlight the call for strict laws for crypto space.

Vintage Lord Of The Rings Book Box Set Is 55% Off For Prime Big Deal Days

by admin September 26, 2025

Amazon’s early Prime Big Deal Days sale features a wide assortment of excellent book deals, including steep discounts on a bunch of popular fantasy and sci-fi box sets. As usual, some of the most popular deals take readers back to Middle-earth. One of the standouts is a beloved 3-book box set of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings with artwork by Alan Lee on the front covers and beautiful display box. Prime members can get this vintage hardcover box set for only $40.79 (was $90), which is the lowest price this year.

After you’re done checking out the vintage box set, read on for more superb deals on Tolkien box sets, such as The Complete History of Middle-earth for $80.65 (was $250), and budget-friendly Collector’s Editions like The Hobbit for $11.33 and The Silmarillion for $12.26. With Prime Big Deal Days set for October 7-8, you can expect to see even more great promotions on Tolkien books in the coming days.

$40.79 (was $90) | Artwork by Alan Lee

One of the most popular modern editions of The Lord of the Rings, the 1988 hardcover box set offers the most economical way to get editions with cover and box art illustrated by Alan Lee. Widely considered to be the best artist who has worked on The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, Alan Lee’s Middle-earth landscape paintings and Middle-earth maps are gorgeous.

The box set has wrap-around art on the slipcase that matches the covers of The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King. Each cover resembles a painting, as the full-color illustrations have ornate frames with detailed patterns. These editions also come with fold-out maps of Middle-earth during the Third Age. Each book concludes with a section of appendices filled with fascinating reference material and background information.

The muted color palette combined with the classical typeface and faded yellow dust jackets makes these editions look appropriately vintage. Even over 45 years later, though, these editions are among the most beautiful you can buy today. It’s not surprising these hardcover editions and the box set remain in print. Across all three volumes, the 1988 edition of LOTR is 1,214 pages.

You can check out the cover designs of each of the three volumes below. Each hardcover is also sold separately, but you’d wind up spending roughly $50 and won’t get the lovely display box.

The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien (1988 editions)

As mentioned, the 1988 editions are the most affordable with cover art by Alan Lee, but there are editions filled with incredible illustrations by the artist. Last year, William Morrow published a remastered edition of the phenomenal 1992 Centenary Edition of The Lord of the Rings. The collector’s set carries a $325 retail price, but it’s also on sale in Amazon’s early Prime Big Deal Days sale. You can get The Lord of the Rings Deluxe Illustrated Box Set for only $135.09 (58% off). This three-volume set is packaged in a custom cloth board display box and features over 50 new illustrations and drawings by Lee. The books themselves have cloth board cases and are quarterbound in leather. Check out our dedicated story on The Lord of the Rings Deluxe Illustrated Box Set to see why these editions are so special.

In October, William Morrow will publish a four-book box set with Alan Lee’s illustrations for $139.50 (was $150). This edition is notable because it also comes with The Hobbit. All four hardcover volumes have wrap-around dust jacket illustrations. Before you preorder a copy: This edition originally released in 2020 in the UK, and you can buy that version for considerably less at Amazon, too.

All five matching hardcover editions are steeply discounted.

Amazon’s early sale has also brought deals on last year’s budget-friendly Lord of the Rings Collector’s Edition hardcovers. These editions are similar in size to the 1988 editions, but they have a more modernized look, with stained edges, foil-stamped cover art, maps on the interior covers, and ribbon bookmarks. Matching editions of The Hobbit and The Silmarillion were published, too.

All five of these $35 hardcover editions are on sale for $15 or less. The Hobbit is only $11.33, and The Silmarillion is just $12.26. There is a box set with the three volumes of The Lord of the Rings, but it’s cheaper to buy each book separately at the moment.

Amazon’s sale also includes The Complete History of Middle-earth, a massive 5,440-page box set collecting all 12 volumes of The History of Middle-earth across three hardcovers. The $250 hardcover box set has dropped to only $80.65–the lowest price ever. We also have a dedicated story about The History of Middle-earth that’s worth reading, as it also details the 2024 box set series featuring 15 History of Middle-earth books across four decorative box sets.

William Morrow continued its Tolkien box set project over the summer with a pair of beautiful hardcover collections. Tolkien Myths and Legends, a four-book box set containing epic poems and classic myths written or translated by Tolkien. This collection released in June, but it’s up for grabs for only $51 (was $125) for Prime Big Deal Days. The sixth box set in the series, a new edition of The Great Tales of Middle-earth–a hardcover collection of three posthumously published novels–released in August and is on sale for $75 (was $125).

More J.R.R. Tolkien Book Deals

Other notable Tolkien book deals include The Nature of Middle-earth, a collection of the author’s final writings on the fantasy world he brought to life. The Nature of Middle-earth’s hardcover edition is on sale for only $12 (was $32). The History of The Hobbit, meanwhile, is a 992-page hardcover containing Tolkien’s complete unpublished draft of The Hobbit as well as his illustrations and notes. It also has commentary by scholar John Rateliff that pulls back the curtain on how The Hobbit came to be. The History of The Hobbit is discounted to $18.81 (was $55) in hardcover. Another insightful behind-the-scenes book is The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien: Revised and Expanded Edition. On sale for $13.85 (was $40), this 720-page hardcover includes hundreds of letters written to his editors and publishers, his family and friends, and even his fans.

Ruark MR1 Mk3 powered speaker review: an eight-year update that’s more than worth the wait

Ruark MR1 Mk3: Two minute review

From February 2017 to September 2025 is a fair while for an audio product to stay on the market – so it just goes to show how right Ruark got the predecessor to its new Ruark MR1 Mk3 and what a tough act it has to follow.

Happily, it’s more than up to the task. Slightly larger than the product it replaces and significantly better specified (the MR1 Mk3 can handle everything from aptX HD Bluetooth and vinyl records to 24bit/192kHz hi-res digital audio), this new Ruark is the perfect desktop system. It’s also got great credentials when it comes to TV audio (it’s so much better looking than your average soundbar and can connect via digital optical), and will happily support a fairly extensive system in a small- to medium-sized room.

The Ruark MR1 Mk3 sounds far larger than it looks, and has impressive low-frequency presence that’s complemented by great detail retrieval and an undeniable facility for entertainment. The Ruark can do ‘analysis’ for you as well as any desktop system around, but it doesn’t lose sight of the fact that music is to be enjoyed every bit as much as it is to be admired. Soundstaging is good, dynamic headroom is appreciable, and the frequency response from top to bottom is smoothly even. The MR1 Mk3 sounds admirably consistent no matter which of its inputs you’re using, too.

In short, the Ruark MR1 Mk3 has been worth the wait, and sits firmly in the best stereo speakers on the market. Which is not the same as saying I’d be happy to wait until 2033 or something for the Mk4…

Ruark MR1 Mk3 review: Price and release date

Released June 2025
$579 / £399 / AU$899

The Ruark MR1 Mk3 is on sale now, and in the United States it’s yours for $579. It goes for £399 in the United Kingdom and AU$899 in Australia.

To be fair to Ruark, that compares quite favourably to the $499 / £349 / AU$749 the MR1 Mk2 launched at back in early 2107, and it means the MR1 Mk3 is, all things considered, even more competitively priced than the model it replaces.

Ruark MR1 Mk3 review: Features

25 watts per channel of Class D power
Bluetooth 5.1 with aptX HD
Moving magnet phono stage

Ruark has ditched the Class A/B amplification of the MR1 Mk3’s predecessor in favour of a Class D alternative derived from its very well-received R410 integrated music system. Power is up from 20 watts per channel to 25, and the driver array (a 20mm silk dome tweeter and 85mm ‘NS+’ treated natural fibre mid/bass driver in each speaker, bolstered by downward-facing bass reflex ports) is good for a claimed frequency response of 50Hz to 22khz.

Input options have undergone an upgrade, too. The MR1 Mk3 uses Bluetooth 5.1 for wireless connectivity, and is compatible with the aptX HD codec. There’s a 3.5mm socket that’s a hybrid optical/analogue input – in digital mode it’s capable of dealing with file resolutions of up to 24bit/192kHz. A USB-C input can handle anything up to 24bit/96kHz. And there’s a moving magnet phono stage behind a pair of stereo RCA sockets, so a record player can easily be integrated into the Ruark system. A pre-out for a subwoofer completes a very agreeable line-up.

Features score: 5/5

Ruark MR1 Mk3 review: Sound quality

Impressive low-frequency presence
Detailed and dynamic
Great sonic consistency across every input

There’s a definite sensation of ‘the Ruark sound’ to the MR1 Mk3, which is great but hardly unexpected. What’s equally impressive, and perhaps less predictable, is just how consistent the Mk3 sounds no matter which of its inputs you’re using.

Obviously there’s an appreciable difference between the sound of Sad and Lonely by Secret Machines being streamed as a 320kbps file via Bluetooth to the same song delivered via the integrated phono stage. But the fundamental Ruark character never wavers: in every circumstance, the sound is bold and punchy, spacious and properly defined, and is loaded with detail both broad and fine. Everyone hopes their tunes will sound ‘musical’ and ‘entertaining’, but the MR1 Mk3 understands and delivers on this better than any price-comparable alternative.

There’s a touch of warmth to the system’s tonality, but this just allows the weighty and nicely varied low frequencies to swing even more naturalistically. Bass sounds are properly controlled, which means rhythmic expression is sure footed – the Ruark is capable of quite startling extension and low-end attack. The midrange is open and revealing, with plenty of detail concerning tone and timbre, especially of voices, revealed. At the top end, the Ruark gives substance to treble sounds just as readily as it gives shine – and here, just as with the rest of the frequency range, detail levels are impressively high.

There’s more than enough dynamic headroom available for the MR1 Mk3 to make the fluctuations in volume and intensity during a listen to Music Has the Right to Children by Boards of Canada obvious. And there’s just as much attention paid to the dynamic variations apparent in a voice or solo instrument, too.

Thanks to the downward-facing reflex ports, the Mk3 always has a fixed boundary the perfect distance away – so it’s not quite as uptight about positioning as some alternative designs. And when you get the positioning just right, stereo focus is enjoyable and the soundstage the system creates is large and confidently defined. There’s plenty of space between individual elements of a recording, but at the same time the Ruark is able to make sure they all relate to each other and all contribute to the singularity of ‘performance’.

Sound quality score: 5/5

Ruark MR1 Mk3 review: Design

185 x 135 x 155mm (HxWxD)
Choice of two finishes
2.2kg

Ruark is no stranger to a tidy and attractive bit of cabinet work, and for the MR1 Mk3 it’s done that thing it does, just on a slightly larger scale.

Each Mk3 cabinet is 185 x 135 x 155mm (HxWxD), which is up from the Mk2’s 175 x 130 x 140mm in every direction. It also means internal volume is increased to a useful two liters while the system is still a realistic desktop proposition.

The standard of build and finish is impeccable. Each cabinet is handcrafted, and is almost as appealing on a tactile level as it is on a visual. My review sample is in a real walnut veneer, but a charcoal lacquer alternative is available – both are supplied with fixed slate-grey cloth grilles.

Design score: 5/5

Ruark MR1 Mk3 review: Usability and setup

Operation via remote control or RotoDial
3m braided connecting cable
Independent gain control for some inputs

There’s not a lot to get your head around when it comes to setting up the MR1 Mk3. The primary speaker – the one with all the inputs and amplification on board – needs to be plugged into the mains. It then needs to be connected to the secondary speaker using the 3m length of braided cable supplied in the box. And that’s about your lot: make any physical connections you might require, and you’re in business.

Control is available via a small and unremarkable remote control – it covers power on/off, volume up/down, and input selection. These functions are duplicated by the classic Ruark RotoDial that’s integrated into the top of the primary speaker and is just as pleasant to use here as it is in any of the company’s other products. And it makes the primary speaker, in fact, 202mm high.

Usability and setup score: 5/5

(Image credit: Future / Simon Lucas)

Ruark MR1 Mk3 review: Value

It’s difficult in the extreme to suggest the Ruark MR1 Mk3 doesn’t represent very decent value for money.

It’s compact enough to be a desktop system, it’s got sufficient sonic scale and presence to work as an alternative to a soundbar via its digital optical or Bluetooth inputs, and it’s ideal as a system for a smaller room. The standard of build and finish is hard to criticize. It looks, as well as sounds, good.

What more, really, are you expecting?

Value score: 5/5

Ruark MR1 Mk3 review: Should you buy it?

Buy it if…

Don’t buy it if…

Ruark MR1 Mk3 review: Also consider

Some Bluetooth speakers can form stereo pairs, so something like a couple of JBL Charge 6 could do a job on your desktop, and you’d have a pair of portable speakers for when you’re out and about. The battery-only power scenario might not work for you, though, and there’s only USB-C as an input beyond Bluetooth.

Maybe the Q Acoustics M20 would be a better bet? It’s certainly a great-sounding system, and has sufficient physical, as well as wireless, inputs to be a complete system. It’s large when compared to the Ruark, though – certainly too big for anything but the very largest desktop – and is a little less impressive when it comes to the standard of finish too.

Ruark MR1 Mk3 review: How I tested

Connected to various devices
Using every available input
Lots of music and TV over a fair amount of time

I mostly listened to the MR1 Mk3 on my desktop, where I used an iPhone 14 Pro and a FiiO M15S as wireless sources along with an Apple MacBook Pro connected via USB-C.

I also used it on the end of my main system, where I was able to test out its phono stage using my Clearaudio Concept turntable. And I connected it to my Philips OLED using the TV’s optical output, where it functioned as a replacement for my Bose Smart Ultra soundbar.

I listened to plenty of music and quite a bit of TV content, and made sure to check out the Ruark’s hi-res audio credentials as well as its ability to amplify a turntable and handle a wireless stream.

China Inaugurates Digital Yuan Operation Centre to Push CBDC Integration: Report

by admin September 26, 2025

China has quietly taken a bold step in its bid to expand the global footprint of its digital currency.

On Thursday, the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) inaugurated an international operations centre for its central bank digital currency, the digital yuan (e-CNY) in Shanghai, according to a report from the South China Morning Post.

PBOC Deputy Governor, Lu Lei, framed the move as part of a “historical inevitability” in payments innovation, with the aim of offering a more efficient, inclusive, and open global cross-border payment system.

The initiative is intended to enhance settlement efficiency, and serve as building blocks toward a broader framework for e-CNY integration.

China’s CBDC push comes in the wake of the country pulling the brakes on tokenization efforts. Earlier this week, China’s securities regulator warned some brokerages to pause their real-world asset (RWA) tokenization businesses in Hong Kong.

VanEck Urges SEC to Update Rules for Tokenized ETFs

by admin September 26, 2025

VanEck, a top-10 ETF issuer, met with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Crypto Task Force on Thursday to discuss how tokenization and staking could fit inside regulated fund structures.

VanEck, which reported $132.9 billion in assets under management as of June 30, 2025, submitted a written agenda and supporting materials ahead of the session. The meeting focused on practical and regulatory questions that arise when traditional funds move onto blockchain systems.

Tokenization and staking on the table

Officials examined the tokenization of exchange traded funds (ETFs), including what it would mean for the issuer that sits behind a tokenized fund. VanEck asked the task force to consider how existing rules apply when fund shares are represented as blockchain tokens and how that might affect investor protections and market structure.

A separate agenda item considered liquid staking tokens. VanEck sought guidance on whether the SEC’s proposed Generic Listing Standards for Commodity and Crypto-Based Exchange-Traded Products apply to staking products, and how exchanges and issuers should handle liquidity risk tied to staking within ETF wrappers.

Wider regulatory questions raised

VanEck also brought up bigger issues it wants regulators to look at, like how decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, tokenized securities, and ICOs should be handled under today’s securities laws. The firm also suggested that the Advisers Act Custody Rule may need an update so it properly covers the way digital assets are stored and managed.

On custody, VanEck highlighted Multi-Party Computation (MPC) as a practical tool for safekeeping private keys and suggested the SEC consider how technology-driven custody models should be regulated.

Who represented VanEck?

VanEck’s delegation included Wyatt Lonergan (General Partner), Kyle F. DaCruz (Director of Digital Assets Product), Matthew Sigel (Head of Digital Assets Research), Jonathan R. Simon (General Counsel), and Matthew A. Babinsky (Associate General Counsel).

The session is part of an ongoing series of meetings between regulators and market participants as the SEC weighs how to adapt securities rules for crypto-era products. Any guidance or rule changes that follow could affect how fund managers design and list tokenized ETFs.
