Love the monitor

SAMSUNG 22" a-si TFT/TN WSXGA+ LCD Monitor w/ Digital TV Tuner 5 ms D-Sub, DVI-D, CVBS 2280HD
SAMSUNG 22" a-si TFT/TN WSXGA+ LCD Monitor w/ Digital TV Tuner 5 ms D-Sub, DVI-D, CVBS 2280HD

Pros: Excellent monitor, clarity is great. Good brightness and contrast. SDTV is good in PIP. 22" is a good size for the desk but also performs well in games. Smooth motion from 5ms response. Comes with a nice cleaning cloth! Aspect ratio will switch automatically sometimes when resolution is set to 4:3 like 1280x1024 for example. Love the picture-in-picture.

Cons: 22" is very small when coming from a 27" HDTV! Not the monitor's fault. SDTV looks AWFUL in fullscreen, even worse than my old HDTV, though I could probably get it looking a little better after some tuning. Colors are off out of the box, though tuning fixed that as well. Pricy, but not bad when you consider that to get an LCD TV AND 22" monitor would be quite a bit more.

Overall Review: 1680x1050 brings Crysis to its knees! :) This is just a really good monitor, I bought it so I could downscale from my 27" HDTV because the video was blurry, text was near impossible to read and aliasing was terrible in games (because of the combo of size and low-resolution) This monitor solves all of my problems! I can play my Wii, watch TV and play PC games. I took a day or two to warm up to it, but now I couldn't go back. Considering I only watch the TV in picture-in-picture anyways, the quality isn't too bad, though I'd probably be upset if I watched it in fullscreen. I can't comment on the digital/HDTV aspects as my family does not subscribe to digital cable or HDTV, I should ask them since now I feel like I am missing out on a lot!

Meh ok system

Logitech G51 155 watts RMS 5.1 Surround Sound Speakers
Logitech G51 155 watts RMS 5.1 Surround Sound Speakers

Pros: It's a pretty system, the sound quality is ok, 5.1 system.

Cons: I plugged in my Wii, and when I turned on "Matrix Mode" some sounds were lost (like footsteps) For this price a system should be more than "OK". For a little bit more, I returned these and got Logitech's better Z-5500 digital systems which BLOWS THESE OUT OF THE WATER. You are way better off saving and getting the Logitech Z-5500.

Overall Review: I used these for my Wii and my PC.

Great, fast memory

OCZ Reaper HPC Edition 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model OCZ2RPR800C44GK

Pros: Fantastic speed, good OCing.

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: The memory performs as good as it looks and is a good addition to any DDR2 system. make sure you use two hands to press the RAM down evenly.
