Pros: Price Performance Compatibility

Cons: Size Somewhat challenging installation (understandable though, given the size) Poor Instructions (all pictures, nothing written)

Overall Review: I rarely write reviews (I know, shame on me), but it is rare a product so far exceeds my expectations that a review is warranted. The 212 EVO is such a product. My CPU (AMD Phenom II 965, stock fan) was idling at 60+°C...yes, I said idling! Under load (using Prime95), it would exceed 80° and my PC would shutdown (I purposefully set that in the BIOS). With the EVO installed, I now idle in the low 30's and max out under load right around 50° (highest temp I've seen so far is 51°). Maybe that type of gain is expected/normal for these aftermarket cooling solutions (my first one), but I am so impressed...blown away really (literally and figuratively!). And the price point...icing on the cake. Highly recommended! (I also highly recommend watching one of the "How To" installation videos for this on YouTube...very helpful)

Pros: Seems to be a decent enough video card. Temps run cool even after long/intense gaming sessions.

Cons: Random black screens when using DisplayPort. No refunds on this item, either from Newegg or PowerColor. (this was known, just FYI)

Overall Review: Despite exhausting all troubleshooting measures suggested by the MFGer, I continue to get random black screens when doing both normal computing and gaming WHEN USING DISPLAYPORT (HDMI is fine). They occur anywhere from every 30 seconds to every few minutes, usually lasting a few seconds each time. I cleaned/reinstalled drivers, changed PCIe slots on the mobo, tried all 3 DP ports on the card, tweaked settings in the Radeon Adrenalin app, and tried 3 different cables...all to no avail. In the end, I do not know if it is a GPU/MOBO compatibility issue, PCIe issue, driver issue, or a monitor issue (I don't suspect the monitor, because I was previously running a Geforce 1070 via DP with no issues). Newegg is exchanging it (hassle-free, btw), but I don't necessarily think it is a defective card...just some incompatibility somewhere. If that does end up being the case, I'll update this review (if possible).

Pros: - Vibrant colors - Native 720p - Built-in Speaker

Cons: - No picture control (brightness, contrast, etc.) in 3D mode - Occassional RBE - Remote control is oddly shaped/designed and not backlit. - Proprietary mounting pattern (?)

Overall Review: I am very pleased with this projector. I bought this one specifically for it's 3D and native HD features, and it has not disappointed. Mine is hooked up to an HTPC with an AMD 7770 video card and the picture looks great. 3D gaming (via Tridef software) is amazing . . . COD in 3D is simply awesome! And it has handled every SBS MKV movie file I have thrown at it. I use the Okeba DLP-Link 3D glasses which work pretty well (they are quickly synched with the press of a button). As for the cons, the biggest for me is not having more (or any) control over the 3D picture. Once you switch to 3D mode, all the brightness, contrast, etc. sliders are disabled. This becomes important because the 3D picture - inherantly a result of the DLP-Link active shutter glasses - is darkened and the colors are less vibrant. Now, fortunately for me I can counteract this somewhat through the AMD control panel on my PC, but those using this without a PC will be limited to the component's (presumably a BR player?) picture settings. I detect the RBE only occassionally...and then, it's only in dark scenes where the eye moves across a dark to light area on the screen/picture. As for the remote, I remain baffled - at all manufacturers really - as to why they continue to not backlight the remote controls of a 3D component, whether it be a TV, BR player, or projector. At the risk of sounding too miopic, my guess is the overwhelming majority of these devices will be used in the home for entertainment purposes (I don't think 3D has quite taken the business world by storm). As such, they will be watched often times at night, and in some cases in a dark theater room. Would it kill them to backlight it?! Anyway... As you are probably doing now, I spent days upon days researching these projectors, reading every possible review from every possible site . . . all things considered, I am very happy that I went with this one and would recommend it to anyone looking for 3D capability and true HD in a budget-level projector.
