A Very Nice Monitor

AORUS FI27Q-X 27" 240Hz 1440P HBR3, G-SYNC Compatible, SS IPS Gaming Monitor, Exclusive Built-in ANC, 2560 x 1440, 0.3ms Response Time, HDR, 93% DCI-P3, 1x DisplayPort 1.4, 2x HDMI 2.0, 2x USB 3.0
AORUS FI27Q-X 27" 240Hz 1440P HBR3, G-SYNC Compatible, SS IPS Gaming Monitor, Exclusive Built-in ANC, 2560 x 1440, 0.3ms Response Time, HDR, 93% DCI-P3, 1x DisplayPort 1.4, 2x HDMI 2.0, 2x USB 3.0

Pros: Out of the box colors are pretty good. Turning down vibrancy helps a little.The colors pop. Very vivid and sharp. HDR does make a difference but not in games.The OSD sidekick app is great for making display adjustments.G-Sync work fine.No dead or stuck pixels.

Cons: The power cord is 60 inches tip to tip. Make sure it will work for you.Lights behind the monitor are useless.

Overall Review: It's still a little early to tell how much better a 240Hz monitor will be in gaming but so far I like what I see. Any comments on display settings that you find work good for you would be great to see in these reviews.I would never have known the pixels are BGR if this wasn't pointed out in an earlier review. My text is clear and sharp using clear type and it doesn't seem to affect any other aspect of color reproduction for movies, pictures or games. This is a very nice gaming monitor.

Most Critical Review

Good board. Rebate not so good.

GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: I've had the board for 11 months now (v1.1) and am totally happy with it. Loads of options to keep you happy either OC'ing or if adding components.

Cons: Don't expect a rebate. It took me 8 months for me to get mine and I had to email Gigabyte directly over 10 times before they finally sent a check from the corporate office. The rebate clearing house lies. They repeatly told me my check was either on the way or had been sent and even resent. I never saw anything from them and they are only 10 miles from my house. Tempe to Phoenix.

Overall Review: Anything electronic can fail. I think the number of boards that actually have a problem are a very small percentage of total boards sold. If you still are looking for a 775 socket motherboard this is a great choice.

So far. so good.

Fractal Design Refine Gaming Chair (Mesh Dark)
Fractal Design Refine Gaming Chair (Mesh Dark)

Pros: I'm coming from a 2019 Secret Lab Titan Leatherette chair. The leatherette gets a little too warm and causes my back and backside to sweat so I was either going to get another Secret Lab Titan but in the cloth version or wait to find a chair with a mesh seat and back. When I saw Fractal was coming out with a mesh chair that seemed to be well received at its first showing in June I thought this might be what I was looking for. I've been using the chair for 12 days. To put things in perspective, I'm 5'11 and weigh 170 pounds.

Cons: The negatives are few at this time. My only real complaint is the arm rests slide forward and backward too easily and I constantly have to keep adjusting them which is easy to do by just sliding them but I wish they either locked or were harder to move.

Overall Review: This is an update after using this chair for a year. It is by far the most comfortable chair I have ever used. I can sit at the computer for hours and hardly know I've been sitting at all. The mesh keeps me cool and it has stood up extremely well after a year's use. I've gotten used to the arms sliding easily and that really hasn't been a problem. The total construction is first rate and I see no reason why this chair won't last for years. I can recommend it highly without hesitation.

Better than I expected

ASUS PRIME GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16GB 256-Bit GDDR7 PCI Express 5.0 DLSS 4.0 Graphics Card PRIME-RTX5070TI-16G
ASUS PRIME GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16GB 256-Bit GDDR7 PCI Express 5.0 DLSS 4.0 Graphics Card PRIME-RTX5070TI-16G

Pros: Came from a I7-9700 and a RTX3080. Now running a Core Ultra 265K and this ASUS Prime RTX5070ti. My 3DMark Time Spy specs just about doubled in all cases.

Cons: None yet.

Overall Review: If coming from a 4000 series card not sure this is worth it. I got more of a bump coming from the 3080 than I anticipated. Playing COD 6 before, the GPU and CPU were both running at about 100% constant and I was getting 150-175 FPS. GPU was running in the mid 70C's and CPU in the mid 60C's. With no changes to any setting in game, The GPU is running about 70% and CPU at 35%. Temps are in the low 60's for the GPU and mid 50's for the CPU and the FPS are running a steady 240. So I'm happy I got it (thru the shuffle) and for the price difference I did not need the 5080.

Great monitor with minor issues

MSI MPG 271QRX QD-OLED 27" 16:9, QD-OLED Gaming Monitor, 360Hz 0.03ms, 2560 x 1440 (WQHD), Height Adjustable Arm, RGB, AI ENGINE
MSI MPG 271QRX QD-OLED 27" 16:9, QD-OLED Gaming Monitor, 360Hz 0.03ms, 2560 x 1440 (WQHD), Height Adjustable Arm, RGB, AI ENGINE

Pros: I've only had this monitor for 12 days so this is not as complete a review as I'd like to post. Most know about the YouTube reviews giving it very high marks. I agree with those reviews. I'm coming from a 27" IPS 240Mhz 2560x1440 monitor and this monitor is noticeably clearer, sharper and brighter. I'm having no problems with the glossy screen and appreciate the quality of the picture it gives.

Cons: Not much to say here. While installing the Gaming Intelligence app and driver, I was prompted to download anti-virus programs multiple times. I didn't appreciate that. There are many new options in that app that is making the setup to get the best options for me a longer process than I would have liked. Although it was explained what each option did, trying different combinations to get the best picture may just be a problem for me and not for you.

Overall Review: I'm having no problems with viewing text on web pages and most apps. I ran clear type once and reading text is much better than I expected. Actually no problem whatsoever. What is somewhat worse is the text in headers in some apps like Office Outlook, Word, Excel, etc. But this is not a deal breaker in any way. One option that I found to be worse for me was using AI in gaming. I thought it would make things better but after using it for hours, I switched it off and for me the picture was light years better. I'm still working with HDR in games but not sure the vibrance it adds makes playing the game better. Sometimes less may be better. Personal preferences are just that. Personal. What I like may not be what you like. I really like this monitor so far and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone wanting to move into the realm of QD-OLED.

Great Product

Malwarebytes Premium Security - 3 Device / 1 Year - Download
Malwarebytes Premium Security - 3 Device / 1 Year - Download

Pros: This and Windows Defender are all you need.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Works when you try to run malicious software. Now also works to stop you from downloading in most cases. When turned on in browser, it stops (or warns) you that there are potential threats and lets you decide if you want to go on.
