LG 55EC930T Curved OLED TV

We tech enthusiasts like to cover many and various things, but there are some that we really don't encounter much of, like televisions. TVs are something we don't get much chances to review and to be fair, aren't products that people consider buying regularly. However, because an individual might only think of getting a new one every few years, it's probably even more important that we review TVs so that consumers can make informed decisions. Of course, when LG asked if we'd like to review one of their newer models we jumped at the chance. Here's what we thought of LG's latest Curved OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) TV.

Acer XR341CK

Curved monitors have been coming in one after another, which is great for us since we get to test it first. This time around, we've gotten our hands on the Acer XR341CK that is also a 34-inch 21:9 aspect ratio curved monitor. In this review, I'll mention what Acer has done differently compared to some of the other curved monitors, and how it performs.

PC Specialist Hailstorm GT

PC Specialist’s Hailstorm GT is notable for two reasons. The first, its £899 price, means it undercuts most of its gaming PC rivals – and the second, found on the inside, is the Skylake processor. The mid-range price means that PC Specialist hasn’t opted for a top-tier processor inside the Hailstorm GT. Instead, it’s slotted in a Core i5-6600K. The quad-core chip doesn’t have Hyper-Threading, which is the biggest difference compared with Core i7 parts, but PC Specialist has given it a serious boost by overclocking it to 4.6GHz.

Overclockers Titan Riptide

Eschewing Skylake in favour of Haswell-E, Overclockers’ Titan Riptide is designed to bridge the gap between games and high-end work applications, and without breaking the bank. The Riptide’s work credentials come from the Core i7-5820K, which is the most affordable part from this CPU range, but it still has six Hyper-Threaded cores and a 3.5GHz stock frequency. The former means multi-threaded applications will run quicker than with any current quad-core chip, and Overclockers has also raised the clock speed to 4.2GHz, so it will be fine with single-threaded software and games too.

Stealth 2.0

Stealth is carving a niche for itself by building PCs with the grunt for gaming in cases that are small and quiet. Its first effort, the Stealth 1.0, had reasonable power but uncomfortable audio levels; its second system looks to address those issues.

The Stealth 2.0 doesn’t just rely on an APU this time – the machine now pairs one of AMD’s mid-range A-series chips with a discrete half-height Gigabyte graphics card based on Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 750 Ti. This GPU was the first Maxwell part, so it’s very efficient in terms of both temperature and power consumption. In this case, the GPU’s original 1020MHz core has been upped to 1033MHz, while its 2GB of GDDR5 memory remains at the stock speed of 5400MHz.
