Big Beautiful Picture for a Great Price!
Pros: - Great Picture and Color - Huge Screen - IPS gets great angles - Anti-Glare - OnScreen Control - Sexy, Sleek Design
Cons: - No HDMI cable included
Overall Review: The first thing I thought when I saw the box this thing was packaged in was, 'Geez, that's a big box'. It's a big box because this monitor is HUGE. The picture quality using both VGA (D-SUB) and HDMI look great and sharp. The colors pop of the screen and the back light is bright. I don't game so I can't say anything positive or negative for the response time, but it works great for me (web/graphic artist/developer). Installation was a breeze but make sure you pay attention to the instructions. The small install manual/paper shows more than one model's assembly. The contents of the box was the monitor, stand, a small plastic locking piece (for the stand and monitor connection), manual and warranty information and the driver disk/OnScreen Control software. Which leads me to my only complaint. No HDMI cable. Come one LG, include a cable for the newer interface (although you did include the legacy VGA cable). Previous reviews indicate the power cable isn't standard, which is correct. However, I believe the brick style power cable is more like a laptop power brick, so it didn't seem to odd to see (a lot of all-in-one machines use these types of power cables as well). This monitor has a gorgeous display and makes my 22" monitor next to it look like a 15". The price is great for what you get with this monitor and I am impressed with the quality of picture it produces.
Super cheap, needs to be rebooted A LOT
Pros: - Cheap Price (however, mine was free with my Raspberry Pi) - Not bad looking
Cons: The connection is constantly lost and a reboot is required. Also, I'm not a fan of not being able to manage the router, "locally".
Overall Review: I've had pretty good past experiences with some of On Networks unmanaged switches, but I will have to pass on using this thing.
Great RAM Upgrade with quick write speeds and Crucial's top-notch warranty
Pros: - Backed by Crucial's Lifetime Warranty - Quick write speeds - Supports Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO profiles for easy setup and overclocking your rig - Quality Heatspreaders - Stable performance at regular and over clock speeds - Low profile design
Cons: - No RGB Lighting. (Look I know this isn't a feature that says it's listed, but I had to give it a 'wish this was included' feature).
Overall Review: Good RAM to upgrade your motherboard from the measly 8GB or 16GB OEM RAM. Crucial is always top-notch in my book. One of the best warranties in the RAM market. While I didn't overclock the RAM, I notice a considerable speed increase in the writes compared to the DDR4 6000 I had installed. The 6400 speed market is pretty congested but Crucial is a solid choice at a great price tag. Did I mention the warranty, too?
Good boost from a Company you know
Pros: - Good speeds - Great for gaming or production/creative machines - Crucial's Outstanding Warranty - Lifetime (Crucial has been known for this and is a reputable company. They been in the game for decades) - Good price point - Excellent for professionals or gamers looking to up their RAM. - Simple design - It's minimal. No LED lights needed. Works great if you want a low profile machine without all the flash.
Cons: None
Overall Review: I tested this on a buddy's testbench (he owns a PC shop). He was running a MSI MPG X670E Carbon with a Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU. I felt performance was definitely there. Though, I didn't capture any benchmarks, this go-round, I definitely noticed an uptick in system response. System stability was good as well, though I didn't get a chance to overclock. Other notes - Compatibility with systems shouldn't be a problem. This kit supports AMD EXPO as well as Intel's XMP 3.0. Overall - This is an excellent upgrade for the price and quality that has been known to come from Crucial.
Corsair does it again. Great Kit.
Pros: - Stable and Fast - Limited Lifetime Warranty - RGB looks great in my rig
Cons: None
Overall Review: Installation is super easy as expected. Both sticks snapped right into the DIMM slots. The RAM upgrade was made to my ASUS X670E-E STRIX motherboard (Ryzen 7950X). The RAM was put through it's paces via testing in AIDA64 Cache & Memory Benchmark. Not only was this a noticeable upgrade to my system, but the sticks look great when installed and lit up in all their RGB glory. Overclocked a bit and showing stable. No issues. This kit would easily upgrade anyone's machine, whether you are a gamer, a professional or a freelance designer. iCue is required to control the RGB. This may be an issue for some users as it's another piece of software to install. This isn't a problem for me as I've got it installed for my Dark Core RGB mouse, K55 RGB Keyboard and my Void Pro Surround headphones. Corsair has always been a reputable name in the game and have been here for a long time. Great kit.
Great entry/budget RAM for the overlcocker or enthusiast
Pros: - Increased transfer rates of DDR5-5600 - Reasonably priced - Enhanced performance and multitasking - 50% faster speeds than DDR4 - Lifetime Warranty - Price (roughly the same price as the DDR-5200 kit as of the time of this writing) - Motherboard compatibility - Crucial's excellent customer service - Heatsinks included - Can be overclocked
Cons: - Higher timings
Overall Review: The RAM kit came in the classic clamshell packaging. The sticks have heatsinks and the PCB board and heatsinks are black, so they should match/blend with most builds. I had to take this kit to a buddy's house in order to review them. My rig isn't as new and is still using DDR4 RAM. He's running an Intel Core i9-1300K (stock) on an ASRock board (sorry, I don't have the rest of the details of the build). The RAM was put through it's paces via testing in AIDA64 Cache & Memory Benchmark. The CAS latency is lower at 46, which explains why the RAM is spec'd at 1.1 volts. While it had higher timings than higher speed RAM (think 8000MHz), I still think it's a great entry/budget addition if you are trying to get into the DDR5 arena for a great price. This allows you to invest money in other parts of your build, while still having solid RAM from a company that's been in the game since the 70's (Micron Technology Inc.). This kit was made to be overclocked and tweaked versus out the box. So if you fall into the group of overclockers or enthusiasts on a budget, I feel this is a great kit to choose for your next build in the DDR5 world.
