I found a Memorial Day BOGO OLED monitor deal that's perfect for esports gamers
This year's Memorial Day sales events seem to be keen on giving away free gaming monitors.
Akin to what Samsung is doing with its Odyssey super ultrawide gaming display promo, LG is currently offering a 27-inch FHD 180Hz gaming monitor for FREE (regularly priced at $250).
The free screen comes bundled with LG's UltraGear OLED 27GX790A gaming monitor, an impressive display with a 1440p resolution, 480Hz refresh rate, and G-Sync compatibility.
Better yet, the high-end display is also discounted. Rather than paying the full $999.99, you can get the OLED screen for $799.99 at LG.
That's two great gaming displays for the discounted price of one, and it's perfect for any gamers who don't have space for a super ultrawide.
LG UltraGear 27" OLED (27GX790A-B)Was: $999.99Now: $799.99 at LG
🚨 Get LG's 27" UltraGear 27GS60QC gaming monitor with 1440p resolution and 180Hz refresh rate for FREE when you buy the discounted OLED monitor.
Size: 27 inches. Resolution: 2560x1440 (QHD). Aspect ratio: 16:9. Panel: OLED. Refresh rate: 480Hz. Response time: 0.03ms (GtG). VRR: AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, G-Sync compatible Brightness: 275 nits. HDR: VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400, HDR10. Curve: No.

👀 Alternate deal: Samsung Odyssey BOGO Ultrawide deal
I was shocked to see Samsung's Memorial Day BOGO super ultrawide deals, and I'm equally impressed at what LG has cooked up with its own free gaming display promotion.
The 27-inch UltraGear OLED (27GX790A-B) display is the real star, so I'll start there.
Not only does it deliver an incredible OLED panel with perfect contrast and deep color, but it also has a blistering 480Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms response time. That makes it ideal for esports titles where every millisecond counts.
Rather than a ho-hum 1080p resolution, LG has cranked it up to 1440p for extra clarity. It comes with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and it's NVIDIA G-Sync compatible, covering the two most common gaming GPU types.
The stand is fully ergonomic with height, pivot, swivel, and tilt, plus it's compatible with 100mm x 100mm VESA mounts if you'd like to get it up off your desk.
Usually priced at $999.99, you can get the 27-inch UltraGear OLED display for $799.99 during Memorial Day.
That's just the start of this buy-one-get-one deal.
When you buy the $799 OLED display, LG is throwing in its 27-inch UltraGear 27GS60QC display completely free.
It's a curved display with a 1440p resolution, 180Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, and AMD FreeSync support. It'll look great next to the OLED display, or you can sell it or gift it separately.
Altogether, you're getting two 27-inch gaming displays for the discounted price of one, a total of about $450 in savings.

I Have to Know the Nail Budget for Cardi B's New Music Video Immediately
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. I don't think anyone works harder than Cardi B's nail tech. The rapper just released the music video for her newest single, "Imaginary Playerz," on Aug. 15, and I'm fully in awe of just how many stunning nail looks she was able to fit into three-and-a-half minutes. The video itself features exactly what I've come to expect from Cardi B these days, which is a ton of stunning imagery of her sailing on a yacht, flying on a private jet, and in general, just living a life of luxury. While it's pretty obvious that everything about the visual was expensive, I'm more focused on what the glam budget was. The morning after the video dropped, Cardi's longtime nail tech, Coca Michelle, took to her Instagram Story to share a handful of behind-the-scenes videos and close-up photos of several of the manicures that the rapper wore in the video. One of the looks featured short, square-shaped nails that were painted with a black base and had emerald-cut gems glued to the top. In another slide, Michelle shared a collage of two other nail looks. One was a medium-length almond manicure with a black base and white polka dots that were accented with what appears to be the Chanel logo. Another featured a photo of long, black stiletto nails with two curved white lines drawn across the middle of each nail. Judging by the photo, it's safe to assume that most of the looks were pre-painted by Michelle onto a set of tips before being applied when it was time to shoot. But, of course, that's not where things stop. In another slide, Cardi is seen wearing a long, oval look that features teal nail polish with "melted gold" borders. The melted gold looks like it was achieved with 3D gel that was applied to the borders of the nails before they were either painted with a metallic gold polish or dipped in gold chrome powder. Either way, it looks both stunning and expensive. Michelle shared a handful of other behind-the-scenes pics from the video, and to my surprise, some of the looks shown were outfits and glam that Cardi happened to also be wearing during her many appearances at Paris Couture Week last month. Let's face it, Cardi B's nail looks will always be one-of-a-kind, but if you want to achieve at least somewhat similar that you can wear at home, shop a few must-haves ahead.

Amazon Echo Show 15: The Family Hub Worth Every Penny
Hi! I'm Sally Elshorafa — Home and Garden Editor here at BuzzFeed. I'm also someone who *loves* being organized, but would much rather adopt a great system than build one from scratch. I just like tools that fit into my life without me having to reinvent the wheel. Enter the Amazon Echo Show 15. It's a 15.6-inch full HD touchscreen display (try saying that three times fast), designed to be either wall-mounted like a piece of framed art or kept on a stand. Think Samsung's The Frame paired with Alexa's brains (oh no, is Alexa sentient?!?). It's slim, clean, and big enough to see from across the room, making it perfect for acting as a central hub in my busy home. And because it's voice-powered, I almost never have to touch it. I can control it entirely with my voice while I'm cooking, wrangling my children, or having a meltdown (often). Mine lives in the corner of our kitchen counter, because the kitchen is the most high-traffic spot in our house. In a multigenerational household like ours, placement is everything. Everyone sees it, everyone uses it, and that visibility is exactly what makes it work. It's not just another piece of tech bought under false pretenses; it's actually woven into the way we live. Cheesy, I know. of the best things about it is how customizable the display is. You can pin and arrange widgets so the things that matter most are always front and center. In our case, that's my family's shared Google Calendar (it works with Microsoft and Apple cals as well). We keep every appointment, meeting, school event, and trip on there, so there's no more, "Wait, you're in a meeting at the same time both kids have separate play dates scheduled?" surprises. The calendar on the Echo Show is in real time; if my husband updates it from his phone, it's instantly reflected on the screen in the kitchen. We also keep a synced shopping list on display, which anyone in our family can update through the Alexa app, or just by shouting out what needs to be added (a more common occurrence). If I notice we're out of eggs while making breakfast, I just say, "Alexa, add a dozen eggs to my shopping list." No pen, no paper, no unlocking my phone. Whoever ends up at the grocery store next sees the updated list immediately. And it's not just groceries. We add household items, kid stuff, and random things we think of mid-conversation. Right now, our list includes washing machine pods, extra pillowcases for the kids, and bulk cold brew. Once items are purchased, you can either check them off on the app or via the Echo Show, whatever works for you. Other widgets we use daily include a month-at-a-glance calendar (critical for planning ahead), a weather panel that updates in real time, curated news headlines based on our preferences, and a rotating photo carousel from a shared family album. The photo widget keeps it personal. You might be checking the calendar, but you're also catching glimpses of family vacations, silly toddler moments, and our favorite everyday snapshots. The smart home control panel is where the Echo Show 15 really earns its keep as a hub. Beyond organization and control, it's also an entertainment screen. It has built-in Fire TV, so I can stream Prime Video, Netflix, YouTube, and more directly on the display. Most of the time, I keep it in "mission control" mode, but sometimes I'll put on the local news while I'm making dinner, or watch an F1 race highlight while I stir a sauce that requires constant attention. Sorta random, but one thing I really like is that I can "drop in" via video to say hi to whoever is in the kitchen, which is great when one of us is out of town and wants to say hello to the kids. Using FaceTime works fine, but it's dependent on someone holding their phone up to others while everyone talks, which sucks if they're in the middle of doing something. Plus, phone screens are small. When I video chat on the Echo, it's a big, clear display, no hands required. The sound and volume are also better. This week alone, the Echo Show 15 has run three labeled timers while I was cooking an elaborate meal, played "Let It Go" from Frozen on command to end a toddler meltdown, warned me about an incoming afternoon rainstorm despite it being a heatwave so the kids could grab their raincoats on their way out, added oat milk to the shopping list mid-coffee pour, displayed a live baby monitor feed while I prepped lunch, let me know that my favorite baseball team got absolutely destroyed during an away game, and delivered a five-minute news update from NPR while I folded cloth napkins. None of these are flashy tech miracles, but together they make the day run more smoothly. The beauty of the Echo Show is that it doesn't require constant tinkering. You can display it horizontally or vertically — whatever works for you. Reviewers are split 50/50 on how they display it. Half mount it to the wall, the other put it on a stand. Some get really creative with how it's mounted, so it looks like it's part of a gallery wall. Some people mount it to their bathroom mirror. You can also display it vertically — it'll rotate the screen so everything still looks good. It also helps that the device is aesthetically pleasing. The clean design and slim bezel means it blends into the kitchen instead of looking like a big piece of tech taking up counter space. If I wanted to, I could mount it so it looks like framed art, but the stands works better for us since it's easier to move if we ever want to shift things around. The screen itself is bright and large enough to read from a distance, which is something smaller devices can't really match. Living in a multigenerational household means there's a constant flow of information, needs, and schedules to keep track of. The Echo Show has become the quiet extra set of hands that remembers what's running low, keeps track of where everyone needs to be, entertains when needed, and makes sure the important stuff doesn't slip through the cracks. I originally bought it on a whim, wondering if it would be one of those "will this make me the person I want to be?" purchases. Instead, it turned out to be something far from practical, a device that actually makes our daily life easier, keeps the whole family on the same page, and looks good doing it. It's not just another smart display. It's the nerve center of our home. And for a busy family like mine, that makes it worth every penny we spent on it. Get the Amazon Echo Show 15 from Amazon for $299.99.

Why folding phones are having a moment
Apple is reportedly planning to launch its first foldable iPhone in 2026, entering a market led by Samsung and Huawei. Popular in China and South Korea but still under 2% of global smartphone sales, foldables are gaining traction thanks to better durability, slimmer designs, and lower prices. Larger screens also make them ideal for AI-driven multitasking. Analysts say Apple's move could push foldables into the mainstream. Watch the video to learn more.
