Most Favorable Review

Know that you are buying a cheap monitor

Gateway 21.5" 60 Hz TN LCD Monitor 5 ms D-Sub, DVI KX2153bd
Gateway 21.5" 60 Hz TN LCD Monitor 5 ms D-Sub, DVI KX2153bd

Pros: - Gets 1080p at a cheap price - Solid base. Does not wobble around - Cheap - Easy menu navigation - Has an eco setting

Cons: - What people say about this monitor is true: color looks faded, contrast is kind of bad, brightness is bright if not careful. Certainly not for high quality gaming, movie, or anything you want high quality.

Overall Review: - Got this for my brother who started to codes and wanted a bigger screen than his smaller laptop. This is cheap for 1080 resolution. But this is not for high quality gaming. This is for someone who just wants a bigger monitor for their eyes.

It's LOUD

Pros: * Cheap * It works

Cons: * It wasn't loud when I popped the OS disk in, but when I tried to play DVDs on it, it got really loud. I thought it was going to damage the DVDs. So far, it didn't, however, when you try anything with this burner, the sound is just annoying and obnoxious.

Overall Review: Kind of regret buying this, but you get what you pay for? :\

It works

ViewSonic VA2246M-LED Black 21.5" 5ms Widescreen LED Backlight LCD 16:9  Full HD 1080P Monitor, 250 cd/m2 1000:1 (typ.) / 10,000,000:1 (Dynamic), DVI/D-Sub, Built-in Speakers, VESA Mountable
ViewSonic VA2246M-LED Black 21.5" 5ms Widescreen LED Backlight LCD 16:9 Full HD 1080P Monitor, 250 cd/m2 1000:1 (typ.) / 10,000,000:1 (Dynamic), DVI/D-Sub, Built-in Speakers, VESA Mountable

Pros: - Ok sound. Speaker works fine - Not too bright or not too dark. - Color is good - 1080p :) - Comes with audio cable.

Cons: - The base for my unit is not at all attached. Problem with that is it wobbles when I try to move my desk. It tilt sideways instead of forward or back, which it still does with difficulty. - Menu navigation is kind of a pain. Buttons are not that responsive.

Overall Review: - But for the price I paid, it's a good monitor for gaming and entertainment purposes.

Simple. Overall a good one.

Perixx PERIDUO-703W, Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo - On/Off Switch - Piano White - Chiclet Key Design - Brand Batteries Included - 128 Bit AES Encryption - US English Layout
Perixx PERIDUO-703W, Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo - On/Off Switch - Piano White - Chiclet Key Design - Brand Batteries Included - 128 Bit AES Encryption - US English Layout

Pros: - White. Color matches with my desk. - Made to work for laptop and desktop (there's a Fn key) - Have keys for multimedia and volume control - AA battery for wireless mouse - Works right out the box - Driver disc works

Cons: - Software on driver disc, the overlay gets in the way of web browsing. It blocks view, can't manipulate transparency of it, or orientation. It's just there at the bottom - Wireless mouse is heavy to move around with AA inside after long use - 2x AAA used on wireless keyboard. I was led to believe both use AA batteries on specs - Keyboard is not very ergonomic.

Overall Review: Overall, this is a solid product that works. You won't fall in love with it, but it's a good product. It's not very ergonomic, but if you want a cheap wireless keyboard + mouse, I would recommend this one. If you plan on using this set of keyboard/mouse a lot, I would also recommend buying a set rechargeable AAA/AA batteries to avoid waste (go green! :D )

Cute

Pros: - Cute design - Does the job for cheap

Cons: - Shipping took a while. Although this is shipped from overseas, when compared to Newegg's shipping speed, it did take a while. So, if you are getting this as a gift, I would allow some considerable time for shipping.

Overall Review: - Saw other designs from pictures, but I guess I got the yellow cat one. I guess that's the default? There's no option to choose others, so, I think pictures of other designs are misleading. But overall, it's cute.

Good hdd on a budget build

Cons: None that I can think of at the moment :)
