• 'It's not an OLED-killer yet': I tested Hisense’s affordable RGB TV, and while I like its picture quality and performance, it surprisingly falls short in the area I had the highest hopes for

  Hisense UR8 review: Two-minute review The Hisense UR8 is the first ‘affordable’ RGB TV on the market, and while it has a strong feature set and mostly good picture quality, the UR8 doesn't demonstrate the ‘OLED-killer’ status the RGB tech has been given. While it’s a good TV, it can’t count itself among the best TVs I've tested this year. The UR8 has a good number of smart and AI features, as well as features for gaming. It also has four HDMI 2.1 ports, an ant

The whole list of configurations of the new Alienware 15 (2026) is a little confusing. Officially it starts at £879 in the UK, but for that you get an RTX 3050 GPU instead of the 5050 that we have in this review unit. That's a five year old graphics card there hidden away in a 2026 laptop. So first thing's first, keep a bloody good eye on the spec you get. The last thing you wa
