Top 10 Gaming Monitors

10Apple Thunderbolt Display Monitor

Price, Info, & Pics

We think this massive, high-resolution, LED-backlit display with 2560x1440 pixels provides a brilliant viewing experience. It comes with six ports: 3 USB 2.0, FireWire 800 port, Gigabit Ethernet port, and Thunderbolt port. The Thunderbolt also includes a MagSafe connector that powers and charges your MacBook or MacBook Air at the drop of a hat. We really liked that you can also stay in touch with friends and family easily using the FaceTime HD camera and built-in high-quality sound. The features are pretty incredible, but the price comes at a premium so we kept this beauty at number 10.

9AOC 17-Inch Portable Monitor

Price, Info, & Pics

This AOC is the best portable LED monitor on the market. It requires USB 3.0, but it's perfect for travelers that need a little extra real estate to get things done. Our favorite use is to throw a movie on the screen while working off of a laptop. The colors are brilliant and it is very easy to use. We really enjoyed the slim design and functional flip stand.

8BenQ 24-Inch LED Gaming Monitor

Price, Info, & Pics

This monitor was built for gaming and streaming content. In an instant you can hook up a smartphone, Roku box, or any streaming device and watch Netflix, movies, or anything else.

We think BenQs high end monitors like this are vastly underrated, and thusly offer amazing value. Comparable monitors from bigger brands cost way more for the same image quality.

Top 10 Gaming Headsets 2014

10Logitech G430 Surround Sound Gaming Headset

Price, Info, & Pics

We found the design of this Logitech to be quite comfortable and it doesn't hurt that it looks cool too. The ear cups didn't become uncomfortable after several hours of online gaming, and they swivel 90 degrees which we think made them more comfortable as time went on. And its sound quality really impressed us. Whether playing a first-shooter game, or in a multi-player setting, we found no problems hearing the smallest of noises, to other characters, and our online teammates - nothing was lost with this headset. Even this headset's noise canceling boom mic worked surprisingly well and actually did...See more

9Razer Megalodon Over Ear 7.1 Surround

Price, Info, & Pics

If you're looking for a PC compatible headset with surround sound and you have some extra money, check out this Razer Megalodon headset. If you're looking for a PC compatible headset with surround sound and you're on a budget, do not check out this headset. The biggest beef we have with this headset is that it costs so much, and there are way better headsets available that cost half the price. And the protruding microphone can easily be folded up when not in use, which also makes it great to use on other....See more

8Plantronics GameCom 380 Stereo PC Gaming

Price, Info, & Pics

This is a neat looking headset that comes packaged really well, and unit specifications are listed easily on the packaging - but that's doesn't really give insight to the headsets overall ability, which is pretty solid. Design wise, the headset is okay. It seems sturdy enough and we liked that it stayed firmly on our head throughout testing, but if you're sensitive to headphone pressure, then you might want something that offers a little more room as this can become uncomfortable after prolonged use. The only off putting part for us are the earcups which are made out a velvet...See more

7Sharkoon X-Tatic SR Gaming Headset

Price, Info, & Pics

Looking for PC Gaming Headset that is compatible with Playstation 3 and XBox 360? Then look no further, and check out the Sharkoon X-Tatic gaming headset! The headband is cushioned and easily adjustable, and the earcups fit nicely around our ears - even though the earcup covers are made out of a material that was a little itchy for us, but at least they did not get very hot after several hours of testing. We also like the microphone, which is conveniently detachable so it can be removed when don't need it.See more

6Creative Fatal1ty Gaming Headset

Price, Info, & Pics

Creative has a pretty decent track record with producing top-notch gaming headsets, and this HS-800 doesn't disappoint too badly, but there is one flaw - the microphone. It seems great to the eye - it is detachable and claims to be noise-canceling, and is fairly flexible and stays in securely, but we had an issue with our audio staying consistent. Sometimes it would record normally, and the next time the audio would be muffled with background noise leaking into the recording. But when the mic worked, it worked great, but again we found it to be unreliable.See more

5Turtle Beach Ear Force Z11 Amplified

Price, Info, & Pics

We think we've found the perfect gaming headset for those of you on a serious budget. For its low price it looks great and performs, well, averagely - but for a budget piece, you definitely want to check out the Turtle Beach Z11. Turtle Beach is pretty legit too, as they have been in the game since 1975 - for kids these days, that might as well be the same era as the Egyptian Pyramids. The first thing we noticed about this headset is its design quality. To the eye, it's really sleek and we love that the headband is faux leather and the earcups fit nicely on our ears as opposed to covering them...See more

4Logitech Wireless Gaming Headset G930

Price, Info, & Pics

The greatest thing about this headset is also the worst thing about this headset: its wireless capabilities. It sounds great in theory; you're not tethered to your desk with a long adapter cord, and it has a forty foot range. But what happens when after seven days, five hours, and thirty seconds of playing whatever intense game you're into, and your Internet connection craps out and so does the headset?... Face, palm. Okay, we take that back - the wireless capability is not the worst thing about this headset, in fact it's awesome, but just understand that random disconnections...See more

3Universal PC/Stereo Gaming Headset - Yapster

Price, Info, & Pics

If you're looking for a high quality, multiple use headset but don't want to spend a fortune, then check out this Yapster Universal Gaming Headset. A huge reason we like this headset, besides the fact that it looks cool and makes us feel like a USS Enterprise employee, is that you can use it with several different platforms and not strictly gaming - its also great for just watching movies, listening to music, or online chatting. The design is extremely comfortable because it is so lightweight, and the ear cups offer just the right amount of plush - and faux leather covering mean our ears stayed relatively cool after prolonged testing.See more

2Mad Catz F.R.E.Q. 7 Surround Sound

Price, Info, & Pics

Overall an incredible choice for 7.1 sound and a super high quality mic, the Mad Catz F.R.E.Q 7 is an amazing choice and looks rad. There are four colors to choose from if you want to match your rig, but there is a lot more to these than their good looks. Check out the noise-cancelling mic for starters. It can be detatched and used anywhere you want with its lit up mute indicator. Very cool. The components are made out of a mix of aluminum and other high end materials, not just plastic. Then there is the incredible sound quality.See more
