Failure

SAMSUNG BX2431 Glossy Black 24" LED BackLight LCD Monitor Slim Design 250cd/m2  DCR 5,000,000:1 (1,000:1)
SAMSUNG BX2431 Glossy Black 24" LED BackLight LCD Monitor Slim Design 250cd/m2 DCR 5,000,000:1 (1,000:1)

Pros: It worked well, while the power supply worked.

Cons: RMA'd it once already and now it takes forever to turn on. It flashes a bit, then blank. Do that about 100 times and it finally turns on. If I am in a rush in the morning, I cannot check something quickly.

Terribly flaky video card

Pros: It produces an image, sometimes.

Cons: This is the second incarnation of the original video card I bought. I had to send one back to the manufacturer, and now the second one is having problems. The same problems as before. The line running through the middle of the screen. The device driver failing multiple instances and reloading itself only to fail again. I will never, and I mean NEVER buy MSI anything. I used to say that for ATI until I switched to Nvidia, now 13 years later I am willing to give them a shot again.

Overall Review: Regret from buying this video card is my only other thought.

Pros: 2x DVI, 1x mini HDMI Runs 2 monitors and a HDTV If you don't like games it's fine, but for the rest of us...

Cons: Irritating line runs through screen on games. It's like a see-thru raised line run horizontally, it will move up and down like an old VHS tape when you were trying to get the tracking JUUUUST right. It's not impossible to ignore it, but something that just gets on my nerves. Can't handle certain graphics in games, items will be off center or see-thru. i7 quad core, 8gb memory, 64 gb ssd no reason for this graphics card to be the weak link, but it is for me.
