The Oura Ring 5 is a $400 wearable health tracker that combines sleek aesthetics with compact engineering, but iFixit’s teardown highlights critical limitations. The ring’s titanium bands and epoxy-sealed construction provide water resistance and durability, yet these same features make it impossible to repair. With a non-replaceable 10.5 mAh battery, the device is effectively unusable […]

Portable monitors have become a practical extension of the laptop workflow, letting you carry a second screen to coffee shops, airports, and co-working spaces. The catch is that almost every portable monitor on the market uses a standard LCD or OLED panel, which means bright environments are its natural enemy. Step outside on a sunny afternoon or sit beside a sun-drenched window, and the glare turns your screen into a mirror.
The Radiant Monitor 2 takes a fundamentally different approach to that problem. Rather than packing in more backlight power to overpower sunlight, it uses a transflective LCD panel, a display technology that works with ambient light instead of against it. The brighter the environment, the better the image becomes, which flips the script on how portable monitors have traditionally handled outdoor conditions.
Designer: Eazeye
The panel pairs transflective LCD technology with Eazeye’s proprietary UHR
coating, which helps the display channel ambient light into better visibility, reduce glare, and sharpen image clarity without leaning on its LED backlight. On particularly sunny days, you can switch the backlight off entirely, dropping power consumption down to around 3W, and the screen remains fully usable, bright, and legible.
That backlight isn’t an afterthought, though. Eazeye fitted the Radiant Monitor 2 with a custom full-spectrum LED strip that uses a natural daylight spectrum and emits low blue light, making evening work sessions noticeably easier on the eyes. At full brightness, it draws around 8W, which is modest for a portable monitor, and it pairs with a 1000:1 contrast ratio and a 5ms response time.
Imagine working from a café with floor-to-ceiling windows, the kind of place where a regular monitor becomes completely unworkable midday. The Radiant Monitor 2 handles this without any special positioning or shade hunting. Plug it in via USB-C or HDMI, prop it up with the redesigned magnetic folio stand, and it’s ready in seconds. The 10-point capacitive touchscreen adds another layer of interaction without needing a mouse.
E Ink monitors are the other common choice for eye-friendly screens, but they top out at around 1 to 10 Hz, making them choppy and impractical for scrolling, video, or general multitasking. The Radiant Monitor 2 runs at 60 Hz with smooth, ghost-free performance that holds up through video calls, spreadsheets, and anything else that demands a responsive, full-color display without the visual noise of dithered E Ink output.
The monitor weighs 1.7kg and sits in a gray aluminum frame, durable enough for daily travel without feeling overbuilt. The magnetic folio doubles as a stand, redesigned to be more stable and easier to position than the original. Connectivity covers USB-C and HDMI inputs, with 75mm x 75mm VESA compatibility for desk setups, and an optional height-adjustable stand is sold separately for $99.
The Radiant Monitor 2 retails for $789, which puts it well above the typical portable monitor price range and reflects the specialized nature of its display technology. The 65-degree viewing angles are noticeably narrower than standard LCD panels, so it’s best experienced head-on. It’s one of the few portable monitors that doesn’t ask you to find a darker spot every time the sun gets too bright.

Lo-fi photography has quietly staged a comeback over the past several years. Grainy film shots and pixel-heavy images have become a sought-after look among photographers and casual snappers alike, partly as a reaction to the almost clinical sharpness of modern smartphone cameras. The Game Boy Camera, Nintendo’s cartridge-based accessory from 1998, sits at the center of this revival, beloved for its impossibly low resolution and four-shade grayscale.
Getting that Game Boy Camera experience has typically meant tracking down the original hardware through secondhand markets, often at a premium, with no guarantee the cartridge still works. Epilogue’s Flashback app changes that. It bridges the gap between a Nintendo accessory from the late ’90s and your current smartphone, letting you capture images in that pixelated, lo-fi style with or without the original cartridge, and it doesn’t cost a thing.
Designer: Epilogue
If you do have the original Game Boy Camera tucked away, Flashback has a Hardware Mode that pairs with Epilogue’s GB Operator, a $90 cartridge reader that connects to your phone via USB-C. Slot in the cartridge, plug it into your phone, and the app detects the camera automatically. No pairing is needed, and nothing is emulated: you’re shooting straight through the original Mitsubishi M64282FP sensor.
Not everyone held onto their Game Boy Camera from the ’90s, and Flashback accounts for that. Its Software Mode skips the hardware altogether, using your phone’s own camera and faithfully recreating the Game Boy Camera’s image processing pipeline. You get the same 128×112 pixel grid, the same dithering, and the same four-shade rendering, applied to whatever your lens captures. It’s a faithful recreation, not a generic retro filter.
You’re not limited to gray, either. Flashback comes loaded with 32 color palettes, ranging from the original grayscale to classic Game Boy green, plus creative options like Ice Cream, Tidewater, Spacehaze, and Velvet Cherry. In Software Mode, there’s also a Color Mode that dynamically builds a palette from whatever hues are actually in front of your lens, making the filter feel responsive rather than fixed.
For those who want to go further, Flashback opens up manual controls for shutter speed, gain, exposure, sharpness, dither, and grain. These aren’t decorative sliders. They map to the actual registers of the M64282FP sensor itself. Every shot you take gets stamped with its exact settings, so if you land on a combination you like, you’ve already saved the recipe for getting back to it.
Flashback isn’t limited to photos. It records video too, with audio captured through your phone’s microphone, giving the lo-fi aesthetic a moving dimension. Everything goes straight to your Camera Roll when you’re done. The app is free on the App Store and Google Play, available on iOS 17.2 and above, or Android 8.0 and above, and it also runs natively on Mac.
For anyone who grew up with a Game Boy, getting back to that same exact photographic experience today costs only a free app download and, if you still have the cartridge, a USB-C cable. It’s a combination that makes a sensor originally from 1998 feel unexpectedly relevant, and its lo-fi images strangely compelling for something that barely clocks 14 kilopixels.
