You don’t need incredible, teeth-rattling power for a desktop, even a gaming desktop. But you do need something better than the crappy little five-watt nothings that are included in your monitor. Right now, Amazon has the bookshelf speakers that I personally use in my own setup on sale. I’m talking about the Edifier R1280T speakers for just $84, which is 30 percent off its $120 retail price. These speakers have been a staple of PC power users for years, and you’ll see them all over communities like Reddit’s /r/battlestations. They sound great, with crystal-clear mids and a bit of bass power without needing a separate subwoofer. With 42 watts, four-inch primary drivers, and 13mm tweeters, it’s powerful enough to fill an office easily without breaking the bank. And they’re refreshingly simple — you get two analog inputs, a few adjustment dials, and a remote. That’s it. Nothing to mess up. You can read PCWorld’s full review of them here. I’ve been using the R1280T for years with no issues, and I bought a second set for my brother-in-law. Though I’m no audiophile, I can recommend them heartily to anyone who wants to upgrade their desktop sound setup. If you need Bluetooth, the nearly identical R1280DB model is discounted down to just $100 right now. Amazon is calling this a “Black Friday Deal,” so I expect it to stay at this price for the next week. That said, it’s always a popular seller, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it goes out of stock. Get one quick if you’re interested — you don’t want to miss out. My favorite desktop PC speakers are 30% off right nowBuy now on Amazon Read...

Oh boy. We’re just over a week away from Black Friday and the OLED monitor deals are starting to pop out of the ground. We’ve seen multiple stores offering 27-inch gaming OLEDs for as little as $500, but if you want something bigger, Best Buy has this 45-inch LG ultrawide OLED monitor for $1,000. That’s an amazing $700 off its original price. The LG UltraGear 45GS96QB is a unique design. Other ultrawide monitors in this size range tend to go with doubled-up resolutions, but this one has the semi-standard 3440×1440, so it’s basically stretching a 34-inch display to a 45-inch frame. Depending on how you prefer to play, that’s either very weird or very smart — you get a physically larger picture without the big frame rate hit you’d see from, say, a 5120×1440 option. And you’ll want those frames. With its 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms response time, plus compatibility with both AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync, this thing is made for gamers. It doesn’t skimp on connections either, with DisplayPort, double HDMI, and USB-C video with 65 watts of power output to charge a laptop. It can even function as a decent console display with an included remote control. I’ve seen this monitor at Best Buy retail stores, so there seem to be lots of units on hand. It’s available to pick up today at my nearby store… and you might want to try to do the same since it’s showing a massive $200 delivery charge. (To be fair, it is an enormous monitor.) If I had to guess, I’d say this price is likely to remain good through Black Friday, but stock at nearby stores might sell out fast.
