Puma launches gaming socks

German sports apparel brand Puma recently launched a new pair of socks, aimed specifically toward ‘console gamers’.

Dubbed the ‘Active Gaming Footwear’, these $104 socks are apparently designed for indoor use and offer seamless comfort, support, and grip.

According to Puma’s website, these socks have three different ‘active gaming modes’ to ensure ‘gamers can adapt and game their best’. The first is a SEEK mode, which provides medial wrap-up grip, followed up by an ATTACK mode with lateral wrap-up support and finally, a CRUISE & DEFENSE mode for heel wrap-up stability. How one chooses these modes however, remains a mystery. 

These socks are currently only on sale in the U.K. and Australia, and at the time of writing this article, do not offer an RGB option.

LG’s new 4K monitor comes with a versatile stand

LG unveiled a new 32-inch 4K screen monitor that comes with an innovative swing arm.

The UltraFine Ergo (32UN880) is a 31.5-inch 4K monitor, aimed for creative and professional use. Its 3840×2160 IPS panel offers a 60 Hz refresh rate, FreeSync support, 350 nits of brightness, and 95 per cent P3 gamut coverage. For I/O, it has a USB-C display port and two HDMI ports.

The entire monitor is fitted to a full motion arm that can be clamped to a desk. This arm allows the monitor to swivel up to 280 degrees horizontally and tilt 25 degrees vertically. This means the user can pick their optimal viewing position with ease or simply move the monitor around to show its content to someone else. 

LG is expected to reveal it at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show.
