Great Upgrade
Pros: Upgraded from duo core 2.3ghz painlessly. Runs cool even with stock cooler, 11 degrees cooler than my duo core. runs stable even over a long stretch. Great Price
Cons: Didn't open to 6 core but that's more the fault of the older mb I'm using than the cpu. None so far.
Overall Review: Besides needing to flash the bios with the latest (fault of the mb, not the cpu) totally painless change over. installed in minutes, runs cool, runs FAST, gave this old tower a new lease on life. (and for the next upgrade, I'll buy a compatible motherboard to open it to 6 core.)
Keep Looking
Pros: Price Size
Cons: TOO light. External power supply Odd viewing angle No angle adjustment
Overall Review: Bought a pair of these for Christmas and here we are in February trying to find a replacement power supply for one, as it just stopped working. The viewing angle is off and there is ZERO play in adjusting the actual screen angle besides moving the monitor itself or going all high tech and jamming something under the back of the base, colors aren't great and even when you do find a good angle, some parts of the screen will still have that photo negative effect. all in all, a bad purchase. if you need a decent monitor and want some value for your money, keep looking. if you want something you'll regret buying every time you look at it, then add to cart cause this is the regret you've been looking for.
Good for some things
Pros: Pan and tilt, brightly lit night vision Easy set up Lots of apps for viewing. Best for daytime comes with adapter for European plug that comes with it.
Cons: European power outlet Low res Colors off Does NOT work through a window.
Overall Review: Originally I got the three pack to set up in my windows to give me 360 view of my home, but as soon as the sun set, I was effectively blind.with a bright power light in the front, and the ring of IR lights, the glass lights up like the sun. And of course there's no using them outdoors, so it's effectively only good for setting up in rooms Also, it comes with a European plug and adapter so from converter to the wall is literally about 2 1/2 inches when in and it's very flimsy. the cords could be a lot longer too.a 3 foot cord means these will be desk/tabletop units only even though it comes with wall mounting hardware. I would say they're great for setting up indoors to monitor rooms, but with the cord length and need for adapter, they're really a disappointment.
