Brilliant Display

PLANAR PX2710MW Black 27" 2ms Full HD HDMI WideScreen LCD Monitor w/Speakers 300 cd/m2 1200:1

Pros: Brilliant colors, 1080p, no dead pixels, enormous screen, decent features, customized settings, fantastic price at $259

Cons: packaging came a bit disheveled but Newegg isn't at fault--that is a typical UPS issue, have not tried using the integrated speakers and don't plan on it

Overall Review: Upgraded from a Dell 20" and am very happy that I did.

Most Critical Review

Bait and Switch

PNY GeForce GTX 1080 8GB GDDR5X PCI Express 3.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card VCGGTX10808XGPB-OC-BB
PNY GeForce GTX 1080 8GB GDDR5X PCI Express 3.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card VCGGTX10808XGPB-OC-BB

Pros: GTX 1080 for $420

Cons: When I purchased the card the picture that was displayed was that of a GTX 1080 with a three fan cooler and a base clock speed of 1710MHz and boost speed of 1850MHz, now what I received is a product with two fans and a base clock of 1620MHz base and 1759MHz boost. And now the product picture has been changed for the two fan configuration. Very disappointed.

Great phone with one very HUGE flaw.

ZTE AXON Unlocked Smartphone, 32GB Storage 2GB RAM, 5.5" Gold Color (North America Warranty)
ZTE AXON Unlocked Smartphone, 32GB Storage 2GB RAM, 5.5" Gold Color (North America Warranty)

Pros: The biggest reason I bought this was the audio which by far exceeds the audio from any other phone I have come across. The large screen. Aluminum Quadcore

Cons: Snapdragon 800 Lack of expandable storage

Overall Review: The biggest problem with this phone is that it gets unbelievably HOT! I played Injustice and within 20 minutes the temperature on the phone reached 46 degrees C which is approximately 120 degrees F. Not only do these temperatures zap the battery life it also eventually ruins the other components within the phone thereby severely impacting the reliability of the phone.

Not worth the price

ZTE Axon Pro Screen Protector, eForCity Clear LCD Screen Protector Shield Guard Film For ZTE Axon Pro
ZTE Axon Pro Screen Protector, eForCity Clear LCD Screen Protector Shield Guard Film For ZTE Axon Pro

Pros: Cut to accurately fit the Axon Pro and Axon phones.

Cons: Definitely not bubble free and not scratch resistant either. Used the micro fiber cloth on the screen protector after attaching it to the phone and I could see minor scratches on the film. At this rate it would have been better had I left the film that came with the phone.

Overall Review: There are definitely better options for cheaper. Found better prices on the site named after Greek warrior women of myth.

Speeds not as advertised

PNY 128GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive P-FD128TBOPW-GE
PNY 128GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive P-FD128TBOPW-GE

Pros: The price. I paid $53 for two of these. The capacity. 128GB is a good size, especially when considering the price of $26.50.

Cons: The first drive was not recognized in a USB 3.0 slot but it was recognized in a 2.0 slot. The data on the drive also corrupted and it was no longer able to copy from the drive. Also the speeds are way below the advertised speeds. I was getting 37MB read and 34MB write for the second drive that was actually recognized in the USB 3.0 slot. The speed should have been at least 3 times what I benchmarked.

Overall Review: I have other PNY drives that I benchmarked at the rated speeds. For the price I am not terribly upset because the capacity is still good but the speeds are terrible.

Speeds nowhere near advertised

Mushkin Enhanced Chronos 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MKNSSDCR120GB

Pros: SSD, faster than HDD Max Sequential Read Up to 550MB/s Max Sequential Write Up to 515MB/s 4KB Random Write Up to 90,000 IOPS Seek Time 0.1 ms

Cons: SSD speeds far from advertised Max Sequential Read 201.64MB/s Max Sequential Write 64.36MB/s 4KB Random Write 15,762 IOPS Seek Time .25 ms

Overall Review: I used AS SSD Benchmark 1.53784.37609 for my current values. As you can see the advertised speeds were far from accurate. The seq. read is less than half the rated speed. The seq. write speed is eight times less than what it is rated. The 4KB write IOPS is six times less than its rating. The seek time is 2.5 times slower than it is rated to be. I was excited about this product initially especially since it was one of the highest reviewed SSDs. Since then I have been left deflated.
