LG has just launched its 540 Hz OLED gaming monitor featuring 4th Gen Tandem OLED technology that results in a brighter picture. As such, this monitor has a peak brightness of 1,500 nits, along with 99.5% coverage of the DCI-P3 color space. And did we mention it can actually go up to 720 Hz if ran at 720p?

We’re into the back half of summer already (which may be good or bad news depending on how hot it is where you reside), and it won’t be too long before the weather outside becomes decidedly more frightful. When that happens, a smart thermostat becomes an especially wise addition to your home.

They help to optimize the temperature to ensure you stay comfortable, while also keeping your energy bills down. The

OpenAI finally released its long-awaited GPT-5 model this week, unsurprisingly proclaiming it its best yet with regards to coding, accuracy, safety and more. CEO Sam Altman even compared the jump up in quality to when the iPhone first adopted a Retina display in a press briefing ahead of the announcement. Big talk indeed.

Yes, Python.

I can already hear the screams from the rafters telling me how terrible of a choice Python is - but in my case, I valued modularity, extensibility, hackability over raw performance. (It was also a challenge to myself to see how far I can get without referencing existing implementations)

Synchrotron processes nodes: simple Python classes with typed I/O and a render() method for processing. It can be as concise as 5 lines:

In this post we’ll explore the concept of AI agents as software engineers on your development team. https://webdesignernews.com/coding-agents-are-here-is-your-team-ready-for-ai-devs/

This guide focuses on how to structure and present UX requirements so they’re both practical and insightful. When developers understand the “why” behind each UX choice, they’re far more likely to implement the “what” successfully. And that translates into fewer do-overs, less confusion, and happier end users. https://webdesignernews.com/ux-requirements-that-developers-actually-love-a-bas-practical-guide/

Like many designers early in their careers, I believed my role began and ended with wireframes, pixels, and prototypes. My manager thought otherwise. He was obsessed with UX analytics. Every design change came with the same question — “What changed? Did conversions improve?” https://webdesignernews.com/ux-analytics-changed-my-career/

OpenAI has released GPT-5, and early testers are calling it the closest we’ve come to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). This isn’t just a smarter chatbot — GPT-5 is a tool-using AI agent that plans, adapts, and builds like a human. https://webdesignernews.com/why-gpt-5-is-the-smartest-ai-ever-built/

OpenAI has launched GPT-5, a new flagship AI model that will power the company’s next generation of ChatGPT. https://webdesignernews.com/openais-gpt-5-is-here/

I’ve been skeptical about prompt engineering for a long time, it seemed more like shaman rituals rather than anything close to engineering. All those approaches “I will tip you $100” or “My grandmother is dying and needs this” or “Be 100% accurate or else” could be useful as local fluctuation leveraging local model inefficiency, but never worked in the longer run. https://webdesignernews.com/six-principles-for-production-ai-agents/

In the ever-evolving world of design, where innovation meets aesthetics, finding the perfect resources to fuel your creative journey can be a rewarding yet daunting task. As a designer myself I took the ambitious quest of trying over 100’s of design tools to unearth the true gems that are ready to stand out in 2024 in your design journey. https://webdesignernews.com/10-best-design-resources-for-2025/

The revamp, which will roll out in the US in the coming weeks, will let you ask finance-related questions of the web app’s built-in chatbot, which will serve up an AI-generated answer alongside relevant links. There are also new charting tools that Google says go beyond helping you visualize “simple asset performance” with options to view technical indicators or display candlestick charts. https://webdesignernews.com/the-google-finance-page-is-getting-an-ai-makeover/

I’ve been asking every year since about, oh, 2019 “when can I stop using React?” yet I find myself still within its throes 6 years later, feeling like not much has changed. The most succinct answer I have is: we’re in the stone ages of the internet. We’re banging rocks together trying to make fire, praying Prometheus will be stupid enough to just give it to us instead. I don’t really... https://webdesignernews.com/react-is-fine/

Internationalization isn’t just translation. It’s about formatting dates, pluralizing words, sorting names, and more, all according to specific locales.

This week, Apple committed another $100 billion towards US investments in a bid to avoid the Trump administration’s chaotic tariff plans.
