razer-tiamat-v2When it comes to gaming headsets, there are simply a few names that will never go amiss if you were to pick up their products — and Razer is one of them. The Razer Tiamat 7.1 V2 has just been announced, where this flagship surround sound headset has been rated to be ideal for the perfect positional gaming audio experience. With the Razer Tiamat 7.1 V2, gamers will be able to enjoy a whopping 10 discrete drivers that delivers pinpoint positional audio, while the Razer Tiamat 2.2 V2 will come with a pair of additional subwoofer drivers that offer maximum bass impact.

Of course, we would take a closer look at the flagship Razer Tiamat 7.1 V2, where it is an analog, true 7.1 surround sound PC gaming headset that features 5 discrete drivers in each ear cup. This results in an immersive soundstage, which is ideal for pinpoint positional audio as well as deep gaming immersion. The individual ear cup will carry a 40mm subwoofer, 30mm front (on the left and right sides) and center drivers and 20mm rear and side surround drivers. These will work in tandem to deliver highly accurate directional audio.

Not only that, the Razer Tiamat 7.1 V2 will also feature a completely new Audio Control Unit, where gamers can then set the volume of each audio channel while toggling between true 7.1 surround sound and 2.0 stereo audio. The Audio Control Unit will boast of a pass-through feature, so that gamers with external desktop speaker setups can switch between their Razer Tiamat 7.1 V2 as well as their speakers with a simple press of a button.

Want to communicate with your teammates? Not a problem, as it comes with a unidirectional digital boom microphone. This microphone can be tucked away when not in use by rotating it alongside the ear cup, and when you are barking instructions, it delivers crisp, natural voice in the midst of a frantic digital battle.

The flagship Tiamat 7.1 V2 will retail for US$199.99 apiece, while the Tiamat 2.2 V2 is going for US$129.99.

philips-326M6FJSBPhilips is back with a bang where LCD monitors are concerned, having announced the all new 326M6FJSB. This is a 32-inch Philips QHD LCD display that boasts of the immersive Ambiglow feature. It is something that we have seen in the past in older TVs from Philips, especially back when LCD TVs were starting to catch on, and now that this technology has trickled down to the monitor market, we are not complaining. Sporting immersive lighting effects, Ultra Wide-Color Technology, a SmartImage Game mode, and flicker-free technology, the 326M6FJSB can certainly be considered to be the perfect monitor regardless of whether it is used for home entertainment or productivity purposes.

Expect the Philips 326M6FJSB 32” QHD monitor to arrive with an asking price of $379.99, although you might be able to obtain a better or discounted price with select retailers. The 326M6FJSB’s Philips Ambiglow technology will certainly introduce a whole new dimension when it comes to the viewing experience. This is one piece of innovative technology which “enlarges” the screen, and it does so by delivering a halo of light right around its edges.

Even monitors are powered by processors these days, and the 326M6FJSB is no different since it can analyze the incoming image content, while making non-stop adaptations to the color and brightness of the emitted light in order to match the image. Users are able to adjust the ambiance according to their preferences, and it does not matter whether you are going to use it to watch movies, sports or play games, the Philips Ambiglow will be more than up to the task to deliver a unique and immersive viewing experience.

Not only that, support for Philips’ Ultra Wide-Color technology is also part of the deal, offering a wider spectrum of colors that delivers a better looking picture, with your eyes seeing more natural-looking greens, vivid reds and deeper blues. Seems to be one of the more ideal monitors in the market if you’re on the lookout for one!
