Wroks like a charm
Pros: I'm very happy with this monitor. Colors come out great, no dead pixels. Came with any cords I would've needed. This monitor saved my life. Not really, but I wanted more nice things to say about it. A monitor is kinda like a set of lungs, in that when it works best, you don't really think about it.
Cons: Stand is a bit wobbly and difficult to adjust. Power button is kinda weird, because the 'power' light looks like a button, and the button itself is on the bottom/back of the monitor. Vertical viewing angle is more like 45 degrees, rather than 179. Any more extreme than that and the screen becomes grey. All nitpicky stuff, none of it affects my day-to-day usage
Overall Review: I'd love to see a dwarf play ping-pong, because every return would be an overhand smash, like a tennis pro's serve.
Download doesn't work
Pros: None
Cons: Download failed at 99%,giving a 403 forbidden error. No way to restart it.
Overall Review: Just send a CD next time.
Super shady, will not use
Pros: It looks like what was advertised
Cons: Packaging was damaged, covered in very poor English Side of Box claims support for "Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Linux" Back says "Interated fast ethernet MAC, physical clip and rtansceiver in one chip" (this is verbatim, no typos by me) It continues "Poweres by USB port,and also can connect external power" (It can't) "No need driver for Mac OS X" "Copliant with USB"
Overall Review: I would not dare plug this into my machine. It might work but I'm too scared to find out.
Ugh.
Pros: Runs great when it doesn't crash and force me to reboot my computer
Cons: It crashes after 45 mins-1 hour of play. It runs so hot that I can't touch it for 5 minutes after I shut my computer off. I "upgraded" from a 5800gts, because my 5800 could only play TF2 on the lowest settings, but at least it didn't crash. My 260x crashes even when I play on the lowest settings. It still runs at 90-95 degrees celsius. I'm ordering an online replacement NOT made by XFX right now, because my hard drive was corrupted after the last crash, and that was the last straw for me.
Overall Review: I'm never buying XFX again.
