Nice Monitor, Fast shipping

UpStar M280A1 High Glossy Black + Hairline 28" 4K UHD HDMI  Display Port Widescreen Backlight LCD Monitor
UpStar M280A1 High Glossy Black + Hairline 28" 4K UHD HDMI Display Port Widescreen Backlight LCD Monitor

Pros: Sturdy stand and glossy screen that resists glares nicely. High quality look and feel. 2 display ports and 2 HDMI ports. Color is nice after some tweeking. Nice to use for photography once calibrated. No dead pixels! Very nice looking monitor and stand. Looks way more expensive. Nice edge to edge glass. Came with plenty of cables! Ordered on a Tuesday about 3:00 pm and it was delivered Wed. at 12:30 pm!

Cons: Not as bright as my 27" 2k monitor. Needed some tweeking to get the colors right. Has a slightly "warm" color. I also own a 2k 27" monitor and really cant see the resolution difference between the two sitting side by side.

Pros: Very Fast transfer rate for large transfers. Easily change RAID settings. Pre-Formatted for MACs. Very quiet and runs cool

Cons: None so far, Does NOT include Thunderbolt cable... and this is the only type of connection port ( 2 ) on the drive. No USB or Firewire

Overall Review: Great deal on refurbished unit. I was a bit hesitant buying a "refurbished " storage drive unit, But the cost of this drive new was prohibitive for me. This drive is working great so far. I just hooked it up, set my RAID preference to RAID 1 ( mirrored drives ) in the easy to use UI, ran a Time Machine backup, and transferred about 140GB of photos and videos in no time!

Nice HTPC
