AOC U2868PQU

Monitor

Now, you could argue that it’s hardly surprising this AOC is competitive with the other 28-inch 4K monitors on offer. A screen is only as good as its LCD panel and, as far as we know, there may only be one 28-inch TN 4K panel being made right now. That means there’s a chance all three 28-inch models on test this month use the same panel.

BenQ W1070+

Projector

A projector of any kind was a luxury most of us could ill afford. And even if we could afford it, we couldn’t really justify it. Not when the dingy beamers of yesteryear were so useless during the day and when anything even half cinematic in terms of image quality cost thousands. If that’s roughly where your thinking still is with projectors, may we suggest youtake a quick look at the BenQ W1070+. It’ll throttle such misconceptions with the nearest HDMI cable to hand. It really is awfully impressive and utterly cinematic, especially for the money.

MSI X99S Gaming 7

Motherboard

Motherboard, and a better feature set than you’ll find in the lowest end of the X99 range. That’s especially important if you’re looking at the overclocking performance of the six-core CPU SKUs. We haven’t had a chance to check out how well the i7 5820K overclocks, but MSI’s X99 Gaming 7 is only 50MHz shy of the top clock we managed on our engineering sample i7 5960X. That bodes well for how it will perform with the cheaper chip, and makes us excited about the powerful machines we’ll be able to put together with this new range, without breaking the bank.

Aria Gladiator Hellion 1000

Gaming PC

As nice as those numbers are though, they don’t tell thewhole story. As ever, it’s all about the graphics card Aria has decided to pair with the Intel silicon, and in this case it’s opted for an AMD GPU. That’s a rare choice, which is a shame as AMD is making some fantastic graphics cards at the moment. In fact, the R9 280X is probably one of the best value cards around right now.

Philips 288P6LJEB

Monitor

The Philips Brilliance 288P6LJEB bisects the AOC and Asus models pretty precisely on price. Now, if you’ve read the reviews of the other two, you’ll know that neither quite nails it. The AOC was well above expectations in many regards – it edges the Asus for static image quality and it’s about £100 cheaper – but it suffers from some input lag that sees the Asus suddenly back in the running.

XBOX Oe Controller Gets PC Compatibility

Controller

We were therefore disappointed to learn that the Xbox One controller wouldn’t be PC-compatible at launch, but Microsoft has finally released the drivers, and now you can plug its new wireless controller into your rig for gaming fun. But you still can’t get actual wireless. Boo.Who would have thought when Microsoft made the original bloated controller for its first Xbox that it would one day create arguably the best PC joypad on the planet for the sequel

ADATA Premier SP610 SSD

Storage

The SSD supports SATA III (6Gb/s) interface and comes with SMI controller that ensures stable performance with high read/write speeds. In our tests, we got read speeds up to 520MB/s and write speeds up to 240MB/s, which is pretty good. ADATA Premier SP610 retails for a price of around Rs. 9,000 on online stores and coupled with good performance, the SP610 gives little reason to disappoint.
