BEST PROJECTOR
EPSON EF-100 MINI-LASER STREAMING PROJEC-
TOR WITH ANDROID TV $999.99 Llllm
The impressive EF-100 manages to be the least expensive, smallest, and lightest home laser
projector in its class. It combines the significant advantage of laser projection, including an
anticipated light source life of 12,000 hours at full power, with a small size and low weight that
make it truly portable and easy to store. Nine nuanced brightness settings save electricity and
prolong the life of the laser, and it produces accurate color and great audio. Gamers and film
buffs looking to replace a TV with a projector will find this little powerhouse a very tempting
morsel.

BEST KEYBOARD
CORSAIR K95 RGB PLATINUM XT
$199.99 EDITORS’ CHOICE Llllh
The Corsair K95 RGB Platinum XT brings back everything gamers love about the original
K95—the smooth typing action, well-placed lighting, USB pass-through, and dedicated macro
keys—and adds more onboard profiles and a new padded wrist rest. The biggest
improvement? The XT has macro keys that are compatible with Elgato’s Stream Deck
software, a combination that lets you use the extra keys as video switchers.

BEST PRODUCTIVITY/DESIGN MONITOR
APPLE PRO DISPLAY XDR
$4,999.99 EDITORS’ CHOICE Llllm
Except for the $1,000(!) stand, the Apple Pro Display XDR is one of the best values you can
get in the world of content-creation-focused professional monitors. The XDR won huge points
for being expertly calibrated straight out of the box (something even the priciest reference
displays struggle with), and while it may not be a one-to-one replacement for the $30,000
reference monitors from the likes of Sony, its spectacular color results and beautiful design
make it a must-have for up-and-coming content creators who work in film, photography, or
3D design.
