Most Favorable Review

great monitor

SAMSUNG T260 Rose-Black 25.5" 5ms Touch of Color Series HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor  300 cd/m2 DC 20000:1

Pros: big, vibrant colors, works as it should

Cons: stand has limited adjustability, took a long time to get it to look right.

Overall Review: Don't be shy about turning the contrast down. When I first set it up it was unbelievably bright and, as some other reviewers have mentioned, the colors looked very washed out. I tried all kinds of color adjustments to no avail, finally I just cranked the contrast down to 50% and now it looks fantastic- great, rich color saturation that blows my old 21 inch monitor completely out of the water.

a fast, solid card

XFX PVT73AUDE3 GeForce 7600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 AGP 4X/8X Video Card

Pros: very easy install, drivers that come with it work fine, almost twice as fast as my 6600gt depending on the game, has worked without a glitch so far.

Cons: not as fast as I expected, but its not really the cards fault- my ancient cpu is bottlenecking my system. guess i'll have to upgrade that too but then I'd need a new moboard- etc, etc

Overall Review: about the same size as the 6600gt card its replacing, but a little heavier. my case fans are loud already so I can't comment on how much noise the card produces
