In addition to the high refresh rate, the monitor supports AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-SYNC, reducing screen tearing for smoother gameplay. It also meets the VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 standard, ensuring better dynamic range and deeper blacks.
Samsung has added several features to protect the display and enhance its durability, including a mechanism to reduce brightness on static images like logos to prevent burn-in. The Odyssey OLED G6 also includes OLED Safeguard+ technology to further protect against burn-in during extended use. To minimise distractions from ambient lighting, it comes with an anti-reflective Glare Free coating.

Samsung has also integrated a dynamic cooling system into the monitor, featuring pulsating heat pipes that use a coolant to dissipate heat faster than traditional graphite sheets.

Meet Aravind Srinivas, the man who has offered Rs 2980356700000 to Google CEO Sundar Pichai to buy Google Chrome browser
Aravind Srinivas, CEO and co-founder of Perplexity AI after his company made an unexpected $34.5 billion offer to acquire Google's Chrome browser. The bid is more than twice the Perplexity's own $14 billion valuation. Chrome, used by over three billion people worldwide, plays a huge role in Google's search, advertising, and cloud services. Who Is Aravind Srinivas? He was born in Chennai, India and studied at IIT Madras before moving to the U.S. He did further studies at the University of California, Berkeley. His early career was as a leading AI researcher with Yoshua Bengio and also Google gave him valuable insight into search and internet technologies. In 2022, he co-founded Perplexity AI with Denis Yarats, Johnny Ho, and Andy Konwinski and launched an AI-powered search engine that delivers direct, conversational answers using real-time data. Why Is Timing Important For Arvind's Offer To Google? The timing of Srinivas's offer is important in this case. In the U.S., Google is facing a major antitrust setback after a federal judge ruled it had illegally maintained its search monopoly and also partly by paying to remain the default search engine on browsers and devices. While remedies could theoretically include forcing a Chrome divestiture, Google has vowed to appeal, a process likely to stretch over years. Some of the reports called it unrealistic, given Chrome's deep integration into Google's ecosystem, while others see it as a publicity stunt that Perplexity wants to be the center of conversations about internet competition. Will It Be Possible For Perplexity To Acquire Google's Chrome? Perplexity has raised about $1 billion so far, backed by investors like Nvidia and SoftBank, but funding a $34.5 billion cash deal would require massive external capital, mostly private equity or even heavy debt. Even if the deal succeeded, running Chrome outside Google's infrastructure could reduce its value, as other independent browsers have learned.

Foxconn sees robust AI demand as second-quarter profit tops forecast
Foxconn on Thursday forecast a significant rise in third-quarter revenue as the world's biggest iPhone maker said it had for the first time made more money from its AI server business than from smart electronics last quarter. The company said artificial intelligence server revenue is expected to leap more than 170% year-on-year in the coming quarter, though it also warned of uncertainty from U.S. tariffs. Nvidia's biggest server maker and Apple's top iPhone assembler has been riding a data centre boom, as cloud computing firms such as Amazon, Microsoft and Alphabet's Google spend billions of dollars to expand their AI infrastructure and research capacity. Cloud and networking products, which include servers, accounted for 41% of its revenue in the second quarter, while smart consumer products represented 35%, the company said. The contribution from the server business to its revenue is set to grow further in the current quarter, as Foxconn expects a slight decline in smart consumer electronics revenue. Some experts expect iPhone sales to slow after they surged in the June quarter ahead of the expected imposition of U.S. tariffs. "AI has been the primary growth driver so far this year," Kathy Yang, rotating CEO of Foxconn, said on a call with media and analysts. She warned however that "close attention is needed due to the impact of changes in tariffs and exchange rates". The company said on Thursday its capital spending would rise more than 20% this year, as it plans to boost server production capacity in its manufacturing sites in Texas and Wisconsin. Global trade uncertainty and particularly the trade spat between the U.S. and China could dim its outlook this year as it has a major manufacturing presence in China, though Washington and Beijing this week extended a tariff truce for another 90 days. Most of the iPhones Foxconn makes for Apple are assembled in China, but the bulk of those sold in the U.S. are now produced in India. The company is also building factories in Mexico and Texas to make AI servers for Nvidia. LORDSTOWN SOLD Foxconn has also been looking to expand its footprint in electric vehicles, which the company sees as a major future growth generator, though that has not always gone smoothly. Earlier this month, Foxconn said it had struck a deal to sell a former car factory at Lordstown, Ohio, for $375 million that it purchased in 2022 to manufacture EVs. However, it will continue to occupy the facility. The company said the Ohio plant would be used to manufacture cloud-related products. The goal of manufacturing its Model C EV for the U.S. market remains unchanged, although initial production will take place in Taiwan, Foxconn said. A source familiar with the matter told Reuters that the plant was sold to its partner SoftBank. Foxconn and SoftBank declined to comment. Overall, the company reported net profit for the April-June period of T$44.4 billion ($1.48 billion), higher than the consensus estimate of T$38.8 billion compiled by LSEG. Foxconn, formally Hon Hai Precision Industry, last month reported record second-quarter revenue on strong demand for AI products, but cautioned over geopolitical and exchange rate headwinds. Its shares have risen 8.4% so far this year, outperforming the broader Taiwan index's 5.2% gain. They closed up 0.5% on Thursday ahead of the earnings release.
