You don’t always have to test high-end audio when it comes to reviews for a clearly defined target group, which today is very young for a change. Because if it’s not the squeaky-colorful plastic clutter for the group between 3 and 12 years, then you can even do the ears of the kids and the environment a favor. With Kidz Audio’s [...]

The ELGATO Stream Deck enjoys a certain reputation and belongs for many streamers to the equipment like the Amen in the church. Over the years, the small shortcut tool with its LCD buttons has become a comprehensive multifunctional tool. The latest version, Stream Deck+, adds a touchscreen display and four mechanical knobs. We want to find out in [...]
Today we can finally present the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Founders Edition (FE) including all technical details and the long-awaited benchmarks, because the suspense curve was already plenty big. Even though NVIDIA actually sees the card as the successor to the GeForce RTX 3080, it is still a challenge to the RTX 3090 and especially to the GeForce [...]
We have already reported in detail about NVIDIA’s DLSS 3.0 and the option to generate and insert additional frames via frame generation. AMD had recently announced a similar feature and FSR 3.0 for next year. And interestingly enough, owners of a GeForce RTX 4090 and soon also the RTX 4080 can test exactly that right now, because we found in [...]
Yes, NZXT now also has monitors in its own product portfolio, and we’ll take a close look at one of them today. It is the 24.5″ Full HD NZXT Canvas. It comes with an IPS panel and a refresh rate of 240 Hz. This also makes it clear which target group NZXT wants to address with it. The eSports players, or those who want to be. Even [...]
In order to keep the speculation factor as low as possible on the one hand and not to violate one of the NDAs at the same time, I have to elaborate a bit more this time. The real problem, however, was the extremely different puzzle pieces from both manufacturers in various announcements, which doesn’t exactly simplify a preview of raster [...]

In view of the “measurements” with thermal imaging cameras or equivalent smartphones that have appeared again and again lately, I want to bring last year’s article forward again today to show you the complexity of the matter and to explain why measurement is not the same as colorful imaging. One can “measure” more [...]
Many people are skeptical about Kickstarter projects. But you can certainly have good ideas, even if you don’t yet have a reputation and lack start-up capital. Maono translates as “vision” and the young company has set the ambitious goal of gaining a foothold in the competitive hi-fi market with high-quality products. After a few [...]
Let’s be honest: is there currently an SSD with 2 TB of storage available for under 50 Euros? If it were up to certain eBay “top sellers,” it probably would. This contradicts the search results in reputable stores, but maybe the little technology miracle is taking place just outside of the usual big online shops. For example, if [...]
Sometimes you also have to listen to your children and do a blind test once. Apart from the fact that there are obviously three or four adapter types with different solder pads and cables, the problem of the hot contact surfaces of the outer connectors must have a simpler reason. I already wrote on the subject of bending that the rigid pins in the [...]
First there were bent cables, then annoyed buyers of the at least 2000 euro expensive NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090, no matter which model or manufacturer. The manufacturer of the 4-pin adapter from 12VHPWR to 4x 8-pin for older power supplies was also careless. And, of course, we learned something once again in the course of our investigations. Since [...]
We know it from Hollywood, from game development and even from the automotive industry: Successful products are recast as long as they can be sold at a profit. Sometimes more and sometimes less successfully, input devices are also refreshed with marginal changes, but often the devil is in the details. Corsair tweaks several things on the KATAR [...]
With the CH331, COOLER MASTER positions another inexpensive headset in the very competitive budget range. The 45€ device is sent into the ring with decent workmanship and essential features. We want to find out in the test whether it is simply cheap or actually worth the price. Headsets in the €50 range are a dime a dozen, and in times where even [...]
So far, we’ve basically only looked at high-end gaming or a content creator monitor. We have not yet tested a pure office monitor. So today is the day. The MSI Modern MD272QP from 2021 faces our test program. It is indeed – a pure office monitor, as you can find it in almost every office. Expectations should not be too high now [...]
