The Massive $900 Price Cut on the Samsung Odyssey G9 Curved Gaming Monitor Is as Big as the Screen
If you like your gaming to be low-key, stick to crossword puzzles. If you like your gaming to be big, bombastic, and as over the top as possible, we have a deal for you. The Samsung 49-inch Odyssey QD-OLED G9 Curved Gaming Monitor, a truly jaw-dropping gaming display, is $900 off right now at Samsung. Normally a $2,300 luxury investment, it's now a far more accessible $1,400, and worth every penny.
The massive 49-inch curved screen in 32:9 width with Dual QHD (5120 x 1440) resolution and 110 pixels per inch is absolutely the selling point of the Odyssey G9 monitor. Every single game you play on it will feel like it's the first time all over again when you see it in such stunning size and sharp clarity. But the Odyssey G9 is more than just big. Far, far more.

Ludicrous Speed
That big screen is great for gaming, but a huge gaming monitor that's laggy and slow is, well, a huge monitor better suited for spreadsheets. That's certainly not the case with the Odyssey G9 — it has a mindblowing 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03 microsecond response time, so it can more than keep up with even the most intense and fast-moving action games and shooters. It's also compatible with G-Sync to eliminate tearing and provide a silky smooth gaming experience at all times.
Samsung's Glare Free technology ensures you can enjoy that OLED screen in all its glory, with perfect blacks and colors not obscured by external light. The screen is 54% less glossy than even Samsung's conventional Anti-Reflection film. The screen also intelligently detects logos, taskbars, and other fixed images, and reduces the brightness behind them to avoid burn-in.
Huge, Fast, and Smart
The Odyssey G9 Curved Gaming Monitor has smart technology and features that protect itself, giving itself optimal performance and longer life. If you take a game break, the screen will dim itself after 10 minutes, and automatically return to its previous brightness without any input on your part. And the built-in Thermal Modulation System predicts the surface temperature of the monitor and automatically controls the brightness to reduce heat.
The critics and users have raved about the Samsung 49-Inch Odyssey QD-OLED G9 Curved Gaming Monitor since it came out, and now with this $900 off deal that brings its price down to $1,400, there has never been a better opportunity to score one for yourself and change the way you game forever. Head to Samsung now before this deal ends!

Trump Should Get The Hint That Xi Just Isn't That Into Him
China's President Xi Jinping (R) and U.S. President Donald Trump. BRENDAN SMIALOWSKIFRED DUFOUR/AFP via Getty Images Xi Jinping probably doesn't know whether to be flattered or aggrieved by Donald Trump's late-night rantings about the Chinese leader. Sounding more like a jilted ex than a head of state — or a force to reckon with in negotiations — the U.S. president complained Xi is proving 'extremely hard to make a deal with.' Trump, on social media, sounded sincere enough — as if it just dawned on him that Beijing might not be interested in a bilateral trade deal after all. All this raises almost too many questions to pose here. One: Doesn't Trump recall Xi giving him the talk-to-the-hand treatment the first go around from 2017 to 2021? Another: What about Xi's energy, circa 2025, makes Trump think Xi is anxious for another go? Trump, like any wistful ex, is keeping his options open. He prefaced his 2:17 a.m. Washington-time rant with 'I like President Xi of China, always have, and always will, but…' It's time that someone on Trump's staff had the courage to tell him that perhaps the most powerful Chinese leader in many decades just isn't into him and his trade tactics. On one level, Xi can be excused for lacking the bandwidth to deal with Trump World's chaos right now. Even before the Trump 2.0 era started on January 20, Asia's biggest economy was grappling with a massive property crisis that's generating deflation. Xi's Communist Party was already facing weak domestic demand and record youth unemployment. Back in November, when Team Xi assumed Kamala Harris would be the next president, Beijing was struggling to stop the national birthrate from falling. It was mulling ways to address a rapidly ageing population. It was devising bigger social safety nets to encourage China's 1.4 billion people to save less and spend more. Pre-Trump 2.0, Beijing was in the throes of trying to reduce several trillions of dollars of local government debt. Before the latest Trump tariffs, Xi's government was working to shift its growth model away from exports and runaway investment to domestic demand-led growth. It was working to reduce the dominance of inefficient state-owned enterprises. It was endeavoring to increase the use of the yuan in global trade and finance. Team Xi is also contending with a notable increase in in-person protests. Especially factory workers getting stiffed as export growth slows. Now, Trump's tariffs, volatility in the dollar and bedlam in the U.S. Treasury market are sending intensifying headwinds China's way. So, yes, a busy time to be the leader of a giant, unbalanced economy directly in the Trumpian crossfire. And the White House thinks now is a good time to drop everything and do a hasty bilateral trade deal? Trade agreements are wildly complicated affairs in the best of times, taking several months, even years. Hence, Xi's strategy of slow-walking the process, one that's worked so far. Delaying talks is all the more rational given the decent odds U.S. courts will ultimately rule against Trump's claim that presidents have tariff powers. Trump, of course, is desperate for a trade deal, any deal, to try to convince Americans that, see, the tariffs are working. His splashy signing ceremony with London doesn't count, since the U.S. has a trade surplus with the United Kingdom. Japan hasn't been as pliant as Trump seemed to expect. And new South Korean President Lee Jae-myung is more Seoul's answer to Bernie Sanders than a kindred spirit keen to work with Trump World. Europe isn't exactly fertile ground for a win. Why would Trump be threatening 50% tariffs on the EU if concessions were forthcoming from the 550-million-person market? The U.S. Trade Representative sending reminder letters to trading partners so they don't forget about the upcoming deadline for talks is telling in itself. If White House phones were ringing with good offers, such embarrassing letters wouldn't need to be sent. Also, if Trump really believed Xi is ready to make big concessions, why would his team risk a deal by going after Chinese students with a ban on visas? China, meanwhile, knows how news this week that it may place an order for hundreds of Airbus aircraft, not Boeing, will have Trump fuming. Little about the last couple of weeks suggests these two economic giants are about to sit down for nuts-and-bolts trade negotiations in good faith. Trump's late-night post might've been his way of reminding Xi that the two men were supposed to catch up via phone this week. They did indeed talk on Thursday. But it still seems like high time Trump took the hint that Xi just isn't that into his trade deal.

I Got Belkin's New Nintendo Switch 2 Accessories But Not the Switch 2
You'd think an accessories company like Belkin would have already made some gaming accessories, but until now it hasn't. That's changing as it's released four new accessories for the new Switch 2 game console, which Nintendo just started shipping to consumers. I'm still waiting for my Switch 2 to arrive, but I did get review samples of all four Belkin Switch 2 accessories, which include two cases -- one with a bundled battery -- and two glass screen protectors. Read more: CNET's Switch 2 accessories round up The $30 Belkin Travel Case for Switch 2, available in three color options (charcoal, sand and green), is a compact, elegant case that seems durable (the fabric is water-resistant). On the inside you'll find a slot system to store 10 game cards and a hidden AirTag compartment. What's kind of cool is that you can detach the carrying handle, turning it into a wristlet strap. According to Belkin, the relatively compact case weighs 285.5 grams (.63 pounds) or 821.5 grams (1.81 pounds) with the Switch 2 stored in it. The Travel case comes in three color options. Screenshot by David Carnoy/CNET The $70 Belkin Charging Case has the same footprint as the Travel Case but is about a third thicker as it includes a 10K power bank that sits in a little well in the bottom of the case under your Switch 2. You can charge the console in the case or remove the battery and uses it to charge the Switch 2 outside the case -- or charge other devices. It's a pretty basic looking 10K portable battery that offers fast 20W charging and has two USB-C charge out ports (the Switch 2 has a 5,220mAh battery and Belkin says its power bank will charge the Switch 1.5x). In my tests with an iPhone 16 Pro Max, the power bank doesn't heat up too much while charging. The Charging Case also includes the same slot system to store 10 game cards and a hidden AirTag compartment. The Belkin Charging Case for Switch 2 includes a 10K power bank. Belkin The screen protectors are solid glass screen protectors, which is nice (these aren't those cheap, thin plastic ones you sometimes see). Belkin has a history of making screen protectors for iPhones -- it has a partnership with Apple to apply screen protectors in Apple Stores -- so they also seem good though a little pricey. Read more: Hands-on with Nintendo's Switch 2 on launch day I'm already seeing a slew of Switch 2 cases and accessories showing up on Amazon from no-name brands, with cases starting at a little less than $20. We'll be putting together a list of the best Switch accessories as soon as we test more items, but I like what I've seen so far with these Belkin accessories. I'll add any additional comments should I encounter any issues once I actually use them with my Switch 2 that is scheduled to arrive tomorrow.

What to know about the much-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 on launch day
NEW YORK (AP) — The Nintendo Switch 2 finally hit store shelves on Thursday, eight years after the initial release of Japanese video-game maker Nintendo's popular video game console. Even with a hefty $450 price tag, fans around the world, from Japan to the U.S., lined up outside stores to pick up pre-orders or have a chance to buy the device. The release ends months of anticipation that included pre-order hiccups and fears that tariffs would delay the release of the Switch 2. Here's what to know about the release and where you can buy it. What is the Nintendo Switch? The Nintendo Switch's unique ability to switch from a handheld console to a traditional one helped make it a hit when it launched in 2017. The Nintendo Switch Lite, which was a handheld-only device released two years later, also became popular, especially during the pandemic. It helped usher in bestselling Nintendo games including 'The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild,' 'Mario Kart 8 Deluxe' and 'Animal Crossing: New Horizons.' The Nintendo Switch 2 adds interactive chat and screenshare functions to connect gamers. It will also have a more vibrant display and a larger screen. Nintendo has sold a total of 152 million Switches, just behind its best-selling Nintendo DS console which saw 154 million units move, according to the company. But demand has dwindled for the Switch, now in its eighth year after its debut. Nintendo hopes the new console will boost its declining sales. How much is it and where do I buy it? The base Switch 2 costs $450 and a bundle with the new 'Mario Kart World' included costs $500. It can be found online and in-store at major retailers like Walmart, Target and Best Buy, as well as specialty retailers such as GameStop, but it is expected to be snapped up fast and widespread shortages are expected. What were the hiccups in the rollout? The on-again, off-again tariffs ordered by President Trump — which included goods from Japan — sparked fears Nintendo might have to delay the device. But the launch comes within the 90-day pause on most tariffs. U.S. preorders for the Switch 2 were delayed for several weeks so the company could assess the potential impact of tariffs. When they started in April, high demand sparked a chaotic pre-order process. Scores of consumers trying to pre-order ran into delays or errors. Shoppers took to social media to share long wait times and screenshots of error messages and carts that suddenly went empty. Nintendo acknowledged the 'very high demand' at the time and said it was working hard to fulfill orders, but also urged people to try to buy the device without a pre-order on June 5. What are Nintendo's expectations for the device? Nintendo said it expects to sell 15 million Switch 2 consoles for the fiscal year through March 2026. The company is hoping the device jump-starts its sagging sales. In May Nintendo reported a 43% decline in profit for the fiscal year through March but promised a turnaround.
