This 27-inch 4K gaming monitor pairs dual HDMI 2.1 ports with a 144Hz IPS panel, making it well-suited for both PC and next-gen console gaming. The HDMI 2.1 inputs support 4K at 120Hz with VRR and ALLM for the PS5 and Xbox Series X. A four-port USB 3.0 hub provides convenient desktop peripheral connectivity through a single upstream USB-B cable. Built-in 2.1-channel speakers with a subwoofer deliver decent audio without external speakers.
BenQ's 27-inch color-accurate display combines two HDMI 2.1 inputs, USB-C with 65W Power Delivery for laptop charging, and a built-in USB 3.1 hub. The USB-C port handles 10Gbps data transfer simultaneously with video output via DP Alt Mode, so you can charge, display, and transfer through one cable. The dual HDMI 2.1 inputs support 4K@60Hz.

A 27-inch 4K designer monitor built around dual Thunderbolt 3. One Thunderbolt port handles video, data, and up to 65W of laptop charging through a single cable, while the second acts as a daisy-chain output — connect a second TB3 monitor or an external SSD array. The second TB3 drops to 15W, so a second charging laptop isn't an option. HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.4 inputs are there for non-TB sources.

Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar (2023)
Bose's premium single-bar solution delivers Dolby Atmos through an HDMI eARC connection — but there is no HDMI input for passthrough, so all sources must connect directly to your TV. The rear panel features four 3.5mm jacks for Bose-specific accessories: a Bass port for a wired subwoofer connection, an ADAPTiQ port for the included room calibration headset, an IR receiver port, and a service data port. A USB-C port is reserved for service use only.

A built-in DisplayPort 1.4 output and two downstream Thunderbolt 4 ports support up to 8K at 30Hz on a single display or dual 6K at 60Hz. The dock provides up to 98W power delivery to the connected host laptop. Dual UHS-II card readers — one full-size SD and one microSD — sit on the front panel for fast media access.
Canon's versatile full-frame mirrorless excels at both stills and video with 40fps electronic shutter bursts and 6K oversampled 4K 60p recording. The Micro HDMI (Type D) output delivers clean video to external recorders, though you'll need a secure cable clip since the small connector can be fragile on set. Canon's USB-C port runs at a genuine 10Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 2) — a notable upgrade over earlier Canon bodies that used USB 2.0 speeds despite having a USB-C connector. UVC/UAC support means it doubles as a Full HD webcam without extra software.
Canon's lightweight full-frame mirrorless shares the same 24.2MP sensor and DIGIC X processor as the R6 Mark II in a more compact, affordable body aimed at hybrid shooters. Like its sibling, the Micro HDMI (Type D) port delivers clean 4K 60p video output — invest in a cable clip for reliability during shoots. The USB-C port runs at full USB 3.2 Gen 2 speed (10Gbps) with in-camera charging, matching the R6 II's data performance. No HDMI-CEC support, so it won't respond to TV remote commands.

Dangbei's ultra-thin portable laser projector runs Google TV with official Netflix, 1,200 ISO lumens, and 1080p output (accepting 4K input). Connectivity is minimal: one HDMI 2.0 port with ARC for external video and audio return, one USB 2.0 Type-A for media playback, and a 3.5mm analog output. HDR10 and HLG are supported only through the built-in streaming apps — not over HDMI or USB. Power uses an external DC adapter.
