Excellent Value

ASUS VG248QE 24" Full HD 1920 x 1080 1ms (GTG) 144Hz DVI-D HDMI DisplayPort Built-in Speakers Asus Eye Care with Ultra Low-Blue Light & Flicker-Free Backlit LED NVIDIA 3D Gaming Monitor
ASUS VG248QE 24" Full HD 1920 x 1080 1ms (GTG) 144Hz DVI-D HDMI DisplayPort Built-in Speakers Asus Eye Care with Ultra Low-Blue Light & Flicker-Free Backlit LED NVIDIA 3D Gaming Monitor

Pros: Price 144hz Stand is awesome This monitor is the best for enthusiast gamers that want 144hz without spending too much. There are other options that have better looking colors, but you have to pay $100+ more. This price can't be beat. I also want to point out again, that the stand is awesome. Very high quality, plus VESA mounted so can be reused if you decide to mount this screen another way. Gaming experience is substantially improved. Heck, even the desktop experience is improved - the mouse cursor is so smooth.

Cons: Ruined my opinion of 60hz monitors. Once you go 144hz, you never go back.

Overall Review: Colors aren't the best out there, but this monitor was not designed to look the best. It was designed for performance, and it accomplished that goal. Note that the out of box colors will need to be adjusted if you want them to be more accurate. This is not a con in my eyes, because you should calibrate any monitor you get, even if the out of box settings look "good".

Great Card

Pros: Cool Quiet Overclocks well I ran this card for just about 10 months and recently upgraded to a top of the line card. It never gave me a single issue. This card is a beast and I had forgotten that until I took it out of my case yesterday. Very large card with excellent cooling. This was one of the smartest purchases I made when building my rig.

Cons: cant think of a single con, except trying to find another one to xfire with. Ended up switching to a GTX 780 Ti

Overall Review: Miners drove up video card prices, and depleted the stock of extra 7950's/ I got this card for $280 new and it appears I can sell it for $300 as used.

Very quiet
