One Dunkin’ Donuts location, known for its familiar aroma of coffee and donuts, found itself temporarily closed after a state inspection uncovered a few issues. Not all Dunkin’ locations are created equal. Take the one at 3745 Pleasant Hill Road in Kissimmee, for instance. This particular branch, despite its efforts to keep customers caffeinated and satisfied, has had its share of mixed reviews.

We took a look at Titan Army, a company focused exclusively on gaming monitors as they made their debut in the United States. They had an impressive e-sports focused run of a trio of monitors to launch things, one of which I reviewed — the Titan Army C32C1S, a curved 1440p, 240Hz monitor that I loved. Now they’ve got a new trio of monitors, pushing refresh rate to new highs, as well as drilling down on response rates. Let’s take a look — just know that they’ve not gotten any better at naming them:
