This Premier League lunchtime kick-off at Vicarage Road sees Watford boss Nigel Pearson face the club he once managed.The match sees both teams with plenty to play for at opposite ends of the table - Watford are in danger of the drop zone and remain above the relegation zone on account of goal difference, while Leicester are in third and have a Champions League spot very much within their grasp.Having looked near hopeless prior to his appointment, Pearson's arrival in December has given Watford hope of survival, signing off before the break with a massive home win over Champions-elect Liverpool.Leicester meanwhile have had a season to remember so far under Brendan Rodgers, and barring a catastrophe should finish third. That said, with a bad run of just two wins from their last eight in the league before the lockdown break, they'll be looking to get back on track here.Read on for full details on how to get a live stream of Watford vs Leicester no matter where you are in the w...

Sega has been bringing its classic titles to Android. These are the best released so far.Sega deserves a lot of praise for Sega Forever, the campaign that delivered classic Sega titles to the Google Play Store. All the games are free to play with ads, meaning you'll have to contend with pop-up ads between levels and whenever you save. If you love a game and want an ad-free gaming experience, you can unlock the premium version for $2.The touchscreen emulation for controls is pretty decent, but Sega has also added controller support for most of the titles, so if you have a Bluetooth controller for Android, you're good to go.Though there are more than 20 games in the growing collection of Sega Forever-branded titles, these are the best of the bunch. We have included links to the ones who didn't make the cut at the bottom.The gamesSonic The Hedgehog ClassicSonic The Hedgehog 2 ClassicSonic CD ClassicSonic 4 Episode 2Ristar ClassicComix Zone ClassicKid Chameleon Classic...

Nevertheless the Gunner's fledging new boss Mikel Arteta will know that there were other factors at play than Luiz's poor showing that his side will need to address if they are to mount...

Best answer: No. Sony's PlayStation 4 does not provide support for standard USB webcams. In fact, the company requires that you use its proprietary camera, which uses a different jack than USB.The only PS4 camera: PlayStation Camera (From $80 at Amazon)A professional option: Elgato HD60 S ($180 at Amazon)Cameras and PlayStationRather than adding support for third-party USB cameras, Sony has been trying to make its camera a must-have accessory since they first introduced the EyeToy camera for PlayStation 2. Unfortunately for Sony, the EyeToy and upgraded PlayStation Eye were far from that must-have. Camera games were limited at best throughout the life of the PlayStation 2 and 3.It wasn't until 2010 with the launch of PlayStation Move that the camera started gaining a little traction. Over 15 million Moves were shipped by 2012, but the continued lack of any games worth owning meant it would eventually die out as EyeToy had — if the upcoming PlayStation VR headset hadn't b...

Best answer: If you have enough HDMI ports on your display, you should connect it directly. But an HDMI switch is incredibly useful when you have a lot of devices and not enough HDMI ports built into your television.For multiple consoles: StarTech 4-Port 4K HDMI Switch ($54 at Amazon)For 4K gaming: AmazonBasics High-Speed HDMI Cable ($7 at Amazon)What exactly is an HDMI switch?Also known as HDMI switchers, an HDMI switch is a device that allows you to plug in multiple electronics via HDMI inputs and then output them all through one HDMI cord connected to your television. In more simple terms, multiple inputs can be redirected to one output. This effectively "adds" HDMI inputs to your television without physically adding new ports to your television.How does this differ from an HDMI splitter?An HDMI splitter is like the opposite of an HDMI switch.

Other manufacturers have gone down this path in an effort to either push Bluetooth headphones or to slim down the phone.Samsung finally made the jump with the Note 10 and Note 10+, as neither devices have a 3.5mm headphone jack. This means that if you are using standard headphones, you'll have to pay extra for a 3.5mm to USB-C headphone adapter.The company does plan on selling one of its own, but there are plenty of alternatives already available.

Smartphone camera sensors have gotten pretty huge in the last year. The Galaxy S20 Ultra has a massive 1/1.33-inch sensor in its main camera, along with a 1/2-inch telephoto sensor. The Huawei P40 Pro Plus that Alex just reviewed has an even larger main sensor is at 1/1.28 inches.Before we get too lost in the numbers, let's talk about what all of that actually means. Larger camera sensors aid in all sorts of aspects of photography, from depth of field to low light performance. This is the main reason why dedicated cameras are able to take such great photos in various conditions, while smartphones have a particularly hard time when shooting in low light. Smartphones work round their tiny camera sensors with clever image processing software.Of course, smartphone manufacturers have found plenty of ways around the limitations of these tiny sensors. Google truly blew me away when it first demoed the Night Sight capabilities of the Pixel 3 a few years back, which uses a combinatio...
