Most who actually love gaming, rather than the tribalism that comes with it, will admit that the 'Console Wars' are silly and childish. To breathe life into them ever-slightly, it's fair to say that on the grand scale of things, PlayStation is usually the company among the big three that tends to come out on top more often than not, with the biggest swaying factor being the long list of PlayStation exclusives over the years.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

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:
