Most Favorable Review

Beautiful panel.

SAMSUNG T260 Rose-Black 25.5" 5ms Touch of Color Series HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor  300 cd/m2 DC 20000:1
SAMSUNG T260 Rose-Black 25.5" 5ms Touch of Color Series HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 DC 20000:1

Pros: Gorgeous colors, excellent contrast, decent viewing angles. Best 26" TN panel Ive seen personally.

Cons: Oh no my viewing angles! Because I spend 6 hours a day staring straight down at my monitor from an oblique angle because I have a stick up my but and I can't sit in a chair.

Overall Review: Silly yuppies, I do professional graphic design and bought this. And theres 10,000 goofy kids on the internet that might use a hacked version of photoshop once a month that complain that "TN panels are no good for colors" Dont listen to kids on the internet.

KDS 26" WUXGA LCD Monitor 5 ms D-Sub, DVI, HDMI K-2626mdhwb
KDS 26" WUXGA LCD Monitor 5 ms D-Sub, DVI, HDMI K-2626mdhwb

Pros: Didnt kill my dog.

Cons: Poor viewing angles, poor picture sharpness, poor contrast. Put this side by side with a samsung T260 and its comical. The KDS' pictures looks like one of those LCDs my dad has from 2001.

Overall Review: Im mad at myself for listening to dumb kids on hardforums when my gut told me to get a samsung. Anyone that rates this well has never seen a good LCD.

Pros: Newegg is like a happy puppy. Theyre just so happy to get fed the result is a little fluffly ball of fur that wags its tail like mad and licks your face.

Cons: Size XL, hahaha they sure do know their demographic. Sucks to be the one person that builds computers AND exercises.

Overall Review: A company with great customer service, quick shipping, great prices, AND they love their customers? Too good to be true :)

Pros: Bumped my bandwidth from mid 4ks to low 5ks on sandra. This is over the ddr2-800 version.

Cons: had to set the voltage and speed manually. IM A LAZY AMERICAN I DONT WANT TO HAVE TO DO STUFF...

Overall Review: so pretty, my precious.

BZZZZZZZZZ!

WD My Book Pro II 2TB USB 2.0 / Firewire400 / Firewire800 3.5" External Hard Drive WDG2TP20000N

Pros: Firewire 2 and an all in one 2TB drive the size of a PC Speaker?! The ability to finally put all my stupid files in ONE directory without having to have tinker with RAID or a file server or basically lift a single fat finger, mmmmmmmmmmmm mmm.

Cons: Expensive, going to hurt to see these for 200$ by christmas, the way things are going.

Overall Review: This is formatted for a mac, but unless you are of less than average intelligence (like the guy below) you will be able to format it for PC in a jiffy.
