TL;DR: Amazon has slashed the price of the Samsung 32-inch Odyssey G5 (G50F) QHD gaming monitor to $219.99, $130 off its original $349.99 price; that’s its lowest price with the retailer ever, and it still offers a 1440p gaming display with a 180Hz refresh rate.

With the rise of OLED and 4K gaming monitors, HD and QHD models are getting more affordable than ever — and you can now score $130 off a top-tier 32-inch unit from Samsung.

As of June 3, the Samsung 32-inch Odyssey G5 (G50F) QHD gaming monitor is on sale at Amazon for only $219.99, down 37% from its usual list price, and is sold and shipped by Amazon directly. With that $130 drop, this gaming monitor is now at its lowest Amazon price ever, as confirmed by price-tracking site camelcamelcamel.

For this massively lower price, the G50F offers QHD 2560 x 1440 resolution, similar to standard HD but with 1.7 times the pixel density for a fuller display, without making the more expensive jump to 4K. Whether you’re catching up on RPGs like Crimson Desert or linear action-adventures like 007: First Light, everything will still be sharper and pleasing to the eyes. 

For lovers of fast-paced multiplayer games like Fortnite, the fast IPS panel also brings a 178-degree viewing angle to help keep the picture clear, while the 180Hz refresh rate and 1ms GtG response time keep gameplay both buttery smooth and far more responsive

Despite not being 4K, the Odyssey G5’s display still includes HDR10 for brighter highlights and deeper-looking shadows. Plus, the included AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-Sync compatibility helps keep any visuals intact by reducing screen tearing as much as possible. 

On the off chance you're open to diving into 4K, LG’s 32-inch OLED UltraGear monitor has been cut to just under $800 on Amazon, too.

For a model that’s a bit smaller, the 27-inch, 1440p LG OLED UltraGear gaming monitor is now only $500, down nearly half. 

If you’re also a Pokémon TCG fan, although currently not available on Amazon, the newly announced Pitch Black expansion — Booster Packs, ETBs, Display Boxes, and Booster Bundles — is available to preorder at TCGplayer.

If you’ve been thinking about getting into Magic: The Gathering without immediately needing to learn every corner of deckbuilding, Jumpstart is still one of the easiest ways to get started with the trading card game, and you can now do so with its biggest box on sale. 

As of June 3, Amazon lists the Magic: The Gathering Foundations Jumpstart 2025 Booster Box for $99.62, with the item shipped and sold by Amazon itself rather than a third-party seller. This is a 90-day low price; Amazon’s typical price for the 24-pack box is $105.59, saving you $5.97 with this sale price. 

On the other hand, you can save even more when shopping outside of Amazon. TCGplayer listings starting at $89 with shipping included, dropping below its $89.09 market price. Slightly higher, Walmart sits at $89.99 via Flipside Gaming.

Magic: The Gathering Foundations Jumpstart Boosters are built around the idea of getting started simply by opening two boosters, shuffling them together, and starting to play — with no drafting, no decklist research, and no digging through your bulk box for lands required.

Each of the included 24 Jumpstart boosters contains 20 Magic cards with all the lands already included. Every booster also comes with one anime-inspired card and at least one Rare or Mythic Rare, which is a plus for collectors. 

There are over 46 possible themes, too, including Goblins, Dinosaurs, Ninjas, and other chaotic little pairings that can make each game feel different. 

To get ready for what’s to come in MTG, you can preorder the 30-pack Marvel Super Heroes Play Booster Box for under $140 — a record low price. Right now, though, you can also buy the Magic: The Gathering Aetherdrift Bundle on sale for $40. 

If you’re also a Pokémon TCG fan, although it is currently not available on Amazon, the newly announced Pitch Black expansion — Booster Packs, ETBs, Display Boxes, and Booster Bundles — is available to preorder at TCGplayer.

A lot of people may be struggling with the cost of living at the moment, but Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner are rolling in it. The couple recently announced that they're developing a private island in the Mediterranean, and The Daily Show's Michael Kosta had thoughts.

"For those of you who are thinking, 'hey, before buying a private island shouldn't billionaires maybe read the room,' what you don't understand is the island doesn't have rooms yet. They can't lay the foundations for those rooms until they've burned down all those stupid trees, OK?" says the host in the clip above, before going on to play a clip of the U.S. president's daughter speaking about the project with podcaster David Senra.

"It feels more like a challenge than anything else," says Trump. "It feels like the culmination of all of my experience in real estate, all of my travel...a lot of reflection on how I want to live, how I think people increasingly are wanting to live, and trying to really build something that's a tangible manifestation of that."

"Of course, 'a tangible manifestation' of the way people— come on lady, you're rich, and you bought an island, just say that!" yells Kosta. "Not everything has to be a deep, spiritual journey, you know?"

AT&T has partnered with Disney and Pixar for Toy Story 5-themed store takeovers, coming to select cities and AT&T stores starting June 8. The immersive campaign is designed to bring Bonnie's room into AT&T stores to create "places families can explore together," according to a press release shared with Mashable.

In addition, AT&T has created an animated TV spot featuring Bonnie and other characters from the franchise, and the company will host special screenings of the movie over the summer at its Connected Learning Centers around the country.

The in-store takeovers will feature limited-edition Toy Story 5 merchandise, kid-friendly photo opportunities, hands-on experiences with amiGO Jr. devices, and visuals of characters like Woody, Bullseye, and Jessie both inside and outside the store.

The in-store experiences will start next Monday at select AT&T stores in Atlanta, Austin, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, and New York. Toy Story 5 will hit theaters on June 19, and the campaign will run through July 9.

"What I love about Toy Story is that it grows with you," said Angela Rittgers, AT&T's SVP of Consumer National Revenue Operations, in an email to Mashable. "As a kid, it’s a fun adventure about toys coming to life. As an adult, you realize it’s really about friendship, change, loyalty, and learning to let go. Every stage of life gives you a different perspective on the story. That’s why parents enjoy it just as much as their kids. Everyone sees a piece of themselves in the characters."

As part of the campaign, participating AT&T stores will have opportunities for kids to engage with AT&T's kid-friendly devices. Toy Story fans will also be able to purchase limited-edition merchandise, such as Toy Story 5 phone cases and a tablet holder designed after the Lilypad tablet, a new character that will appear in the new Pixar movie. The tablet holder works with the AT&T amiGo Jr. Tab, a kid-safe browsing device.

"We saw an opportunity to make a familiar moment feel a little more meaningful for families," Rittgers said. "AT&T Families are already coming into our stores together, whether it’s choosing a first device or figuring out what makes sense for their household. So instead of treating that as a transaction, we’re creating a space where families can explore together, ask questions, and feel more confident making decisions on their own terms."

As the quarter final action gets started at 2026 French Open, Alexander Zverev is favorite to win the men's singles.

The No. 2 seed is the highest-ranked player on the men's category, and he's only dropped a single set so far. But the pressure is on for the 29-year-old German. He's still chasing his first ever Grand Slam win and this is his best ever chance. He knows that he needs to prove his mettle as he faces quarter final opponent Rafael Jodar.

Spanish dynamo Jodar, the No. 27 seed, is just 19-years-old and has battled to this quarter final in only his second Grand Slam.

This tournament has seen lots of shock early exits, with the likes of Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic knocked out by unseeded and lower-ranked opponents. Can Jodar defeat Zverev today to cause another major upset?

Posting on Truth Social and moaning about the late night hosts are two of Donald Trump's favorite things, and he's never more in his element than when he gets to combine the two.

In the clip above Jimmy Kimmel breaks down the president's latest diatribe, in which he gloats about having "taken out" Stephen Colbert before saying he has "three more limping late night talk show hosts" to go.

"Shouldn't the President of the United States have more important things to focus on?," asks Kimmel, before speculating that Trump could be upset his show won a Peabody Award over the weekend, at which the host thanked Trump for "inspiring us to fight for our freedom of speech." Kimmel then played a clip of Fox host Laura Ingraham and contributor Raymond Arroyo also moaning about Jimmy Kimmel Live's win on The Ingraham Angle.

"Sounds like a couple of people who never won a Peabody Award, to me," the host grins.

As the quarter-final action continues at 2026 French Open, the women's singles feels exciting and unpredictable. With so many top seeds already eliminated, this is a golden opportunity for upcoming opponents Anna Kalinskaya or Maja Chwalińska to reach their first Gland Slam semi-final.

Twenty-seven year-old Russian Kalinskaya is ranked at No. 22 while 24-year-old Pole Chwalińska is currently unseeded. This would be a major win for either woman.

Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.

If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake—players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.

Today's NYT Strands hints are easy if you have a green thumb.

Strands, the New York Times' elevated word-search game, requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns. Every single letter in the grid will be part of an answer. There's always a theme linking every solution, along with the "spangram," a special, word or phrase that sums up that day's theme, and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.

By providing an opaque hint and not providing the word list, Strands creates a brain-teasing game that takes a little longer to play than its other games, like Wordle and Connections.

Asus didn't hold back at Computex 2026, unloading a range of ROG 20th Anniversary graphics cards, keyboards and more. We ran through the packed reveal event to find the coolest new products.

VidCon, the world’s largest annual celebration of digital culture and its creators, is back this year in Anaheim, where we can expect to see top creators like aimsey, Brandon Rogers, James Seo, Rosanna Pansino, and more. 

The three-day event kicks off on Thursday, June 24, and runs through Saturday, June 27. Interested attendees can purchase either a single-day ticket for Thursday, Friday, or Saturday, or a three-day pass for the entire weekend.

You can purchase tickets online. Here's everything to know before you buy:

What are the different ticket tiers?

In addition to single-day passes, VidCon currently offers three-day passes across four tiers: the VidCon pass, the VidCon+ pass, the Creator pass, and the Pro pass. 

The VidCon and VidCon+ passes are for fans who want to attend the convention. VidCon pass holders receive access to meet-and-greet signups, presale merchandise, Fan Track programming, Expo Hall experiences, the Live Podcast Studio, the VidCon opening celebration, VidCon After Dark programming, and the VidCon Streetfest on Saturday, June 27.

SEE ALSO: When is VidCon 2026?

The VidCon+ pass offers all the benefits of a VidCon pass, plus a few extra perks: an additional meet-and-greet, 30 minutes of early entry to the Expo Hall, a 15 percent discount on merchandise, and early access to VidCon's opening celebration. The VidCon+ pass also offers an exclusive registration counter, building entrance, badge, merch pack, and pick-up counter.

The other two tiers are the Creator pass, geared towards creators, and the Pro pass, geared towards "digital media and creator economy pros."

The Creator pass offers VidCon pass perks, in addition to access to the Mentorship series, three days of Creator Pass programming, Creator HQ, exclusive access to a new networking tool, and the Creator reception. 

The Pro pass offers exclusive access to the welcome reception, a networking mixer, the VIP Expo Hall party, a networking and matchmaking app, networking sessions, industry track programming, think tank thought leadership roundtables, Industry HQ, and a headshot booth. The Pro pass also offers all the perks of the VidCon and Creator passes.

Is there a family bundle or group rate?

VidCon offers a four-ticket family bundle for a single day of your choice. The tickets are VidCon passes, but do not include access to meet-and-greet signups or GorillaCon.

Larger groups of eight or more can also purchase VidCon or Creator passes, with increasing discounts starting at 10 percent off, depending on group size.

Groups of five or more purchasing Pro passes will automatically receive a $100 discount per ticket at the time of purchase.

What if I want to step up my experience at VidCon?

VidCon also offers more curated experiences for interested attendees, such as "Ultimate" meet-and-greet sessions and GorillaCon.

A select number of creators are participating in Ultimate meet-and-greet sessions, which are described as more exclusive, interactive experiences for fans. 

Attendees are also welcome to bundle their passes with GorillaCon, the first live event celebrating a virtual reality game called Gorilla Tag. Access to Ultimate meet-and-greet sessions and GorillaCon is purchased separately, in addition to VidCon passes.

And just as an FYI: single-day tickets do not include access to meet-and-greet signups or GorillaCon. Children five years of age or younger do not require a ticket and can enjoy all the perks of their parent or guardian's ticket tier.

Mashable will be on the ground at VidCon 2026, covering the creators, trends, and conversations driving internet culture, from breaking news and creator interviews to industry insights and live updates.
