Amazon has a deal on one of LGs premium OLED TVs ahead of Black Friday. The 65-inch LG OLED evo C4, which only arrived earlier this year, typically costs $2,700. Today, you can get it for an all-time low of $1,394. Thats even lower than its October Prime Day sale price. Although the C4 skips out on some bells and whistles of the ultra-premium LG G4 flagship TV, that model starts at $2,600 and goes all the way up to $25,000. (Cue spit take.) The LG C4 includes AI features, thanks to its Alpha 9 Gen 7 chip. That enables AI Super Upscaling, which enhances your picture quality on the fly. Meanwhile, Multi View lets you split your screen into two, letting you plop your favorite content on each side. Even if AI features arent high on your priority list, the TV has plenty of presentational perks. The 65-inch display has over eight million self-lit pixels and all the quality improvements youd expect from OLED, like deeper blacks and richer colors. The TV has 100 percent color volume (meaning it can display the full range of colors at any brightness level) and 100 percent color fidelity (content-accurate colors). It boasts a 0.1ms response time and up to a 144Hz refresh rate for high gaming frame rates. The TV gets brighter than its predecessor, reaching nearly nearly 1,000 nits. Its brightness booster feature magnifies individual pixels. If you have an LG soundbar, you can transmit wireless, lossless Dolby Atmos audio from the TV to it. As Engadgets Steve Dent summarized at launch, that feature can give you high-quality surround sound with less hassle. The TV supports Alexa out of the box if your smart home is plugged into Amazons ecosystem. Its array of ports includes USB, Ethernet and four HDMI inputs.

Stardew Valley on mobile just received its latest update, and in it is a new secret multiplayer mode. Developer ConcernedApe says its currently secret because of its experimental nature, and mobile multiplayer can be frustrating. Unlike Stardew Valley multiplayer on other platforms, players on mobile cant discover others farms and can only connect via IP address. They can still join a PC-hosted farm using their mobile devices. The developers also warn that using a mobile network isnt recommended, as it may not be stable enough. The experience works best when both devices are on the same network, but thats not compulsory. ConcernedApe To unlock mobile multiplayer, youll have to tap the leaves in a specific order. Its actually part of the Konami code, but without the A and B buttons because, well, smartphones and tablets dont have them. The Stardew Valley multiplayer blog has instructions if youre interested. Once you see the new co-op menu on the screen, you can host or join a farm. Youll need an IP address if you want to join someones farm, but that isnt difficult to find on your mobile device. The Stardew Valley post also has instructions for that for both iOS and Android users.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/stardew-valley-now-has-a-secret-multiplayer-mode-on-mobile-150956438.html?src=rss

US-based glass manufacturer Corning is the company behind Gorilla Glass, a break-resistant glass used to protect screens thats used on essentially all of the most popular smartphones. Today, the European Commission announced an investigation into Corning for anti-competitive practices, alleging that the glassmaker is preventing competition through exclusive supply agreements. According to the press release, Corning requires mobile phone manufacturers to source all or nearly all of their alkali-AS glass from it, and it also grants rebates to these companies if they do so. Additionally, these phone makers must tell Corning if they receive competitive offers from other glass manufacturers. They arent allowed to accept these offers unless Corning cannot match or beat the price. Similarly, Corning has agreements with companies that process raw glass, forcing them to get all or most of their alkali-AS glass from Corning. They also arent allowed to challenge Corning patents. These charges reinforce how aggressive Corning is in defending its dominant position in the smartphone glass screen market. The latest Apple and Android devices, like the Google Pixel 9, usually have Gorilla Glass screens, as theyre scratch-resistant and prevent cracking or breaking. While not indestructible, the glass does hold up well against damage. However, Cornings market dominance coupled with these practices are enough to get the EUs attention.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/mobile/the-eu-is-looking-into-corning-for-alleged-anti-competitive-practices-140328416.html?src=rss
