Pros: -Excellent 170Hz experience, and variable refresh rate works well -Great colors, viewing angles, and pixel response times -The 32 inch screen size is quite immersive -Built-in resolution scaler lets you pick resolutions higher than 1440p (up to 4K) to be down-sampled to this display, which is excellent for consoles like the PS5 which don't have a 1440p output option or if you want a super-sampled image -Incredibly feature rich, lots of dials and knobs to play with in the OSD to tweak the picture -Decent audio quality and control -Low input lag -Adequate I/O options, and VRR supported over both HDMI and DP

Cons: -Aim Stabilizer (i.e. Black Frame Insertion or Backlight Strobing) doesn't work outside a narrow window, doesn't allow for fixed refresh rates, and doesn't support 60Hz content (like consoles) -Aim Stabilizer also has some color banding and/or minor cross-talk, which while making the image less blurry in motion, does introduce its own set of visual artifacts which may or may not be worse than the original picture depending on your sensitivity or tastes -Local Backlight Dimming seems aggressive, with no option to tweak (only AUTO and OFF), which can be quite distracting, inconsistent and random -The inclusion of HDR 400 is superficial at best, as the backlight brightness is too low for a good HDR experience (400 nits) and the panel has no backlight array zones to allow for a gradient across the screen - The 'Balanced' and 'Speed' overdrive options seem to work best at >90Hz, where when falling below this threshold 'Picture Quality' is the more ideal option as noticeable ghosting/smear/overshoot can be seen on some transitions-- so depending on the game or content, you may need to change the overdrive setting. The "Smart OD" feature doesn't seem to do anything, as far as I can tell -I could not for the life of me get the OSD side-kick to work, the software simply asks to check if the USB cable is plugged in when I start up the software, and restarting the computer just causes the computer to get stuck on the shutting down and starting up screens-- unplugging the USB cable going to the monitor and uninstalling the software allows windows to complete the shutdown and startup sequences as normal

Overall Review: I have been looking for a good gaming monitor for some time now, to replace my aging AOC 144Hz TN panel. I've been avoiding OLED (my previous LG TV had some burn-in) and VA panels (due to black level smearing), and these new Fast IPS panels seemed like a good compromise between pixel response time and image quality. In that regard, this panel exceeds my expectations. The motion clarity this monitor provides is absolutely amazing. If you have the hardware to keep both the resolution and frame rates high, this monitor does not disappoint. Almost by every metric, this panel is better than a TN, and the pixel response times seem quite comparable, which is crazy considering this is an IPS-type screen. I would state that the issues I've had with this monitor are mostly minor or don't necessarily impede my use. It would have been nice to be able to use the software OSD, but the OSD functions built into the monitor work just fine. And since I mostly run or try to run my games at >90Hz, I don't have to worry too much about playing with the overdrive settings. I just keep it on the balanced preset, which is more than sufficient. The monitor also lets you save up to 3 presets, if you plan on switching content or inputs that may require OSD tweaking. I also bought this monitor knowing the HDR would be inadequate-- which is fine. I didn't really buy it for that purpose, and considering the price, I wouldn't expect a high level of HDR fidelity. For pure high-refresh gaming, this is the best monitor I've owned yet.

Pros: I was told that these will fit on a Thermaltake modular PSU. And boy, do they ever (although SIlverstone doesn't recommend using these on anything but Silverstone PSUs). I lost the original 6+2 PCI-E connectors that came with my PSU, and this was much cheaper and simpler than buying a new PSU to upgrade my video card.

Cons: Not really any cons, but if I had to nitpick it would be that there's nothing keeping the individual cables together, all 8 cables per connector are free-floating, so I had to neatly zip-tie them together to keep my cable management under control and to make it aesthetically pleasing. Again, not a big deal.
