This OLED TV from LG (8/10, WIRED recommends) supports up to 120 frames per second. second (fps) games at 4K HDR, as well as either Nvidia’s G-Sync or AMD’s FreeSync for the smoothest possible gaming on one of the nicest screens we’ve tested. It also comes in a smaller one 48-inch variant for $ 797.
Ultra-wide screens like this one from AOC provide far more peripheral vision coverage than typical screens, which is an excellent asset to have while playing. If you want to immerse yourself in the games you play, this screen is one of our favorite ultrawides.
For the performance-oriented, this LG Ultragear screen sticks to a 1080p panel, but boasts up to 240 fps for the most buttery action, even from fast-paced games. It is compatible with both Nvidia G-Sync and AMD’s FreeSync, and the included base is height, tilt and swivel adjustable.

This set is our upgrade choice and it is one of the most popular (and also most expensive) smart lighting systems available. As long as you are comfortable committing to a more expensive system in the long run, this is a great deal on a starter kit.

It’s hard to find a perfect mouse, but the Razer Viper Ultimate comes close. It’s our best choice for a wireless mouse with a dock, and it’s been one of our top picks in general in the past thanks to its ambidextrous design, smart charging docking station and convenient dongle storage.
There is no such thing as too many buttons on a gaming mouse. That’s how I do it. That’s how Razer does it. And it has worked pretty well so far. This mouse is one of our favorites, not least because it has 19 customizable buttons, making it a Swiss Army knife that can be customized for both players and workers.
This charging station is one of our choices for PS5 accessories, and for good reason. It’s a convenient way to ensure that your controllers stay charged between sessions, plus it matches the flashy design sensitivities of the PS5 itself to fit right into your entertainment device.
With games getting bigger and bigger, there is never enough storage space for all of them. Fortunately, sleek SSDs like this one from WD can expand the storage space of your PC or PS5 with minimal effort. This model packs 1 terabyte of storage space in a compact stick.
The latest console or fastest gaming PC does not matter much if you do not have the bandwidth to download or play games on it. This mesh Wi-Fi system from Orbi is our best choice for large homes to give your network better coverage and faster speeds, no matter how far from the router. It has been this award a few times in the last few months, but will not stay at it.
Headphone deals

This headset was already one of our favorites under $ 50, but this deal makes it even sweeter. The wireless version of the Arctis 1 (8/10, WIRED recommends) impressed us with its rich sound and clear microphone quality. This model is pretty much the same, but uses a wired connection instead.
The Bluetooth version of Arctis 3 is our best choice for Switch players who want to use voice chat. But this cord connection is still a great headset and can be connected to any platform, making it a versatile and inexpensive set of cans.
Arctis Prime from SteelSeries (8/10, WIRED recommends) is our choice for midrange gaming headsets under $ 100. But right now it is way under $ 100. If you want a better than average pair of headphones without spending a ton, this is it.
The Logitech G Pro X is currently our top choice for the best wireless gaming headset. It supports PC, PlayStation and has solid battery life. Its DTX’s object-based surround sound makes it easy to hear exactly where enemies are in your game, and Logitech’s G Hub software enables a host of sound customization options.
