Netflix to drop support for Nintendo Wii U, 3DS after June 30

Source: Nintendo Enthusiast

If you still use your Nintendo Wii U or 3DS to watch Netflix videos, your days are numbered. The streaming service will discontinue support for the two consoles on June 30, 2021. Netflix already pulled the app from the eShop, so you can't even download it (unless it's already associated with your account). If you have it on your console, it will still be usable until the end of June. Now, we're wondering when Netflix and Nintendo will work on the version of the app for the Nintendo Switch.

Dell debuts monitors built for video conferencing

Dell's answer to subpar webcams is a new line of monitors specifically created for video conferencing. These aptly-named Video Conferencing Monitors come in 24-, 27-, and 34-inch sizes, with each certified for Microsoft Teams. The C2422HE, C2722DE, and C3422WE all have a dedicated Teams button. Dell emphasizes these screens' high-quality webcam and sound, which is courtesy of a 5-megapixel IR camera, dual 4W speakers, and built-in noise-cancelling microphone. The webcam can be used for Windows Hello, too.

Dell equipped these screens with the ComfortView Plus system to reduce blue light emissions without sacrificing colour accuracy. These displays will arrive in the US on February 16, with a price of US$520 (CA$659) for the C2422HE, US$720 (CA$912) for the C2722DE, and US$1,150 (CA$1,457) for the C3422WE.
