Huge Upgrade

ASUS 27" 1440P Eye Care Monitor (PB278Q) - QHD (2560 x 1440), IPS, DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI
ASUS 27" 1440P Eye Care Monitor (PB278Q) - QHD (2560 x 1440), IPS, DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI

Pros: Went from a 32 inch 1080p IPS monitor to this. I thought the size difference would be bothersome but it's not at all. The picture quality is just so incredible at 1440p.

Cons: The shipping box is basically just a bigger and more well packaged version of what you'd find in a brick and mortar store. It advertises all over it the nice expensive monitor that is inside. I was kind of upset to see that sitting outside of my door when i came home from work. I really can't see the reason for it not being a blank box or the generic newegg shipping box.

Overall Review: Was worried a 780 ti wouldn't be able to hit 60 frames at 1440 but it is easily capable of doing that in every game i've tried. It's really nice not having to jack up the AA to make games look better. Also i purchased a "better" display port cable as i read from a few reviews that the cable included was of poor build quality. I found the expensive and "better" cable to be exactly the same as the one provided by asus, in fact i switched to the provided cable because i couldn't get the other cable to properly click in to place. It's been totally fine so far.

My Favorite Mouse Pad

Corsair Vengeance MM200 CH-9000015-WW Wide Gaming Mouse Mat

Pros: I had been using a steelseries qck due to them being highly regarded in the pc gaming community. It was totally fine but i have Corsair peripherals so of course i needed the mouse pad to match. I was pleasantly surprised to find the build quality and material was totally on par with the qck and it was actually pretty noticeable right away how much smoother this pad is. The size is also perfect for what i needed.

Cons: I wish the Corsair logo was just a printed on graphic, instead it's sort of rubbery and raised slightly. Every once in a while i'll mouse over it and it will mess me up for a second. It's not a huge deal but i would have nothing to complain about if not for that small detail.
