165Hz QHD gaming for under £300. The soaring popularity of PC gaming has been accelerated by global lockdowns and has positioned gamer-centric hardware as a priority for many manufacturers. UK system integrator AWD already has a solid track record in producing gaming rigs of all shapes and sizes and is now turning things up a notch with the introduction of a dedicated gaming sub-brand dubbed X=.

We're not enamoured by the name, which doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, but we're informed that X represents Experience, and the entire product line is intended to bring "high-performance gaming equipment to the majority of gamers at competitive prices." Sounds promising and our first review product, the XRGB27WQ gaming monitor, appears to fit the bill.
