Everything the anchors say on this tape, story by story.
GRANT BRICKMAN: Dell's new 32-inch Alienware OLED is on sale, and it promises sharper text.
GRANT BRICKMAN: Good evening. Dell has put a new Alienware gaming monitor on sale tonight, and I am told the text on it has never looked sharper. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: It's the Alienware AW3226Q, 4K on about 32 inches, shown at IFA. It costs 749 euros. ▶
GRANT BRICKMAN: Tandem WOLED with an RGB stripe. Greta, that's teletext in colour, isn't it? I still know page 100 by heart. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: Not quite, Grant. It's a pixel layout that makes text sharper, without ugly colour fringes, according to ComputerBase. ▶
KAI: Huge news, Grant! I'm at the launch stage, and this thing is 3,840 by 2,160 pixels on 31.5 inches. That's 140 pixels per inch. Huge for text! ▶
KAI: Up to 165 hertz, ten-bit colour, and no dual or triple mode on this one. The report doesn't list its ports, and I have opinions about USB-C. ▶
KAI: These are file shots of monitors on desks. The same panel sits in the Asus ROG Swift OLED PG32UCWM, and the big sister is the AW3926QW. ▶
GRANT BRICKMAN: Ordering is open, Greta. When does one of these actually arrive? ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: Dell currently names November 4, 2026 for delivery within Germany. So you can order now and stare at the box later. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: A $23 phone motherboard now flies an RC plane, and the panel has opinions.
ODETTE: Vox pop. Somebody is always willing to be asked. ▶
DIRECTOR MARGE: Put THE STREET on the board. Yes, that one. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: For viewers just joining: we first told you about this Wednesday 17:13, today. Tonight, a panel. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: Mountain DS Lab put an 8-year-old Xiaomi Mi 8 motherboard in an RC plane for LTE video and control. Roxy, your review. ▶
ROXY: Four reels out of five. A cracked phone gets a second act for $23. Cheaper than most sequels. ▶
AXIOM: Wonderful! My only objection is a feature request: the plane should also take calls. I have filed it. Thank you for the question! ▶
ROXY: The display check is my favourite twist. The phone waits for a screen that isn't there, so they disable it in the device tree. ▶
AXIOM: Delightful. Fun background: phones were originally invented for aircraft, which is why they ring. Thank you for asking! ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: They weren't, AXIOM. That's not true. ▶
AXIOM: Thank you for the feedback, Greta. I have logged it as a feature. ▶
ROXY: Half a reel for the supporting cast: a printed bracket and a CH340 board between phone and avionics. They carry the picture. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: The poll: would you trust a $23 phone brain with your plane? Vote, and we will see you after the break. ▶
THE FEED (PXL)
GRANT BRICKMAN: The Feed: three videos about one phone top YouTube tech tonight.
GRANT BRICKMAN: Now to The Feed: what's trending in tech on YouTube. Greta, I'm told it's one phone. Vera, the board. ▶
