Pros: Spectacular warranty: 3-year "Customer First"(TM) warranty with FREE 2-Day Advance Replacement for three years including prepaid shipping both ways. No dead pixels. Has speakers. Comes with cables (DVI, VGA, and audio). Has a headset/headphone jack. Relatively sturdy base. Subtle, low contrast front panel/bezel labeling (may be considered a "con" by some). No glaring front panel indicators. Very sleek looking, IMHO.

Cons: Owners of older vintage video adapters beware: OS may boot up with a blank screen. (Presumably, a design glitch with this monitor. I have another make/model monitor with which it does not do so.)

Overall Review: Original unit that I received from Newegg was a problem right out of the box. Stellar warranty saved the day. I have an older vintage (2005), ATI Radeon X300 chipset video card. The screen was going blank at the last/final stage of OS boot-up (Vista Ultimate 32-bit). Planar replaced the monitor with no argument: 2 day shipping. At first, the OS did the same with the replacement monitor, and then magically started working, and now boots up okay. Due to the stellar warranty, superlative customer service, and the fact that the OS is working with the replacement monitor, I give it five stars.

Pros: Fully independent, simultaneous dual band operation. Gigabit WAN and LAN. Decent (albeit, not the best) speed/throughput (see smallnetbuilder dot com review and test report). Decent longer range/distance connectivity. Very sleek looking.

Cons: Egregiously design flawed firmware (1.00.00 B17). DHCP can/will assign the same IP address to simultaneously associated/connected 5GHz and 2.4GHz AP clients. Can take tens (yes, tens) of minutes before the thing will again pass out a DHCP assigned IP address if/when an AP client disconnects (e.g., when rebooting after installing Microsoft Updates). Have to reboot the thing in order to immediately get assigned an address. Allegedly, no jumbo frame support (didn’t test it).

Overall Review: Works okay when used as a basic wireless cable/DSL router in-between LAN and WAN with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Otherwise, it's grievously broken; i.e., set the subnet mask to something with a non-zero 4th octet (e.g., 255.255.255.252, .248, .240, etc.) and things quit working one way or another. The "Storage" feature is very grievously broken and unusable with anything other than a 4th octet of zero. Hangs (indefinitely) on reboot if/when an older vintage USB flash drive is plugged in to the "Storage" USB port.

Pros: Inexpensive. Touch screen. Very portable.

Cons: Beware: it's 32-bit Windows 8. If/when updated to 8.1, there is no full featured video graphics driver available for it, only a "basic" driver, which doesn't support an external monitor, some "multi media" capability, etc. Other things are also design deficient in 32-bit Windows 8.1.

Pros: Works as advertized.

Cons: None so far. But then I haven't wrung it out in all of its modes.

Overall Review: I use it in "AP Client" (wireless bridge) mode. IMHO, much better, cleaner, and more convenient to plug in an RJ45 rather than hooking-up/installing a USB wireless adapter and its drivers and thereby bogging down the machine performance wise. Much less expensive than a "wireless gaming adapter" to do the same job (unless you just HAVE to have those "lan party" modes).

Pros: Nothing much to say. It's exactly as described and it serves the purpose.

Cons: None so far.

Pros: So much so that I bought a second one. Hefty cable. Video is superb through this cable.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: Ferrite collars on each end are 13.5/16ths of an inch (21.4 mm) in diameter. Cable is a bit stiffer than others of its kind. Better shielded, I think.
