Pros: Dolby Live Optical Output Coaxial Output Dolby Live

Cons: Barely None

Overall Review: Truely wonderful card, when I saw that this card had Dolby Live I thought it was just an extra feture and would make noise a little clearer and little more enjoyable, but when I recieved it from Ups and installed it, I found that I was totally wrong. Once you go Live you will never go back, the way Live makes music sound is truely amazing. When I turn on Cold Play I swear they are behind my Z-5500 speakers and are singing to me. I have never listened to music with such quality and I have a 6k home theatre system, and they can't even match the sounds of Dolby Live. (well they get close) The bottem line is if you are sick of seeing another Creative card, and want the most amazing sound you can pump out of your speakers, then get this board. P.s- They also perform extremely well in games too. Call of Duty 2, Fear, and World of Warcraft sound absolutely incredible when paired with the Z-5500's.

Pros: Expensive headphones which are pretty much average. I expected a lot more from these. I felt like the headphones leaks out too much noise and don't sound as good as ear buds. I used a Yamaha 2500 receiver, which was at one time a flagship receiver for Yamaha. They are comfortable, the wires are long enough, but they sound average. The only way I could get them to sound better was to cover up the sides with my hands, thus my theory of them releasing too much sound is correct.

Cons: Average.

Pros: This is such a good monitor, I've gone ahead and bought two. The first time they had a rebate, and once I saw that they had another rebate, it was a no brainer. I hooked this thing up Viva VGA to my Xbox 360( REALLY amazing). Then used the Dvi on both monitors to my computer running dual screen. Switching between them is SO AMAZING. One button I can play Xbox 360, while surfing the web, and one button to go back to WoW and surfing the web. This thing is amazing with the PRE-settings, and is really amazing with manual settings. This things runs DVD's great. Runs fast paced games, and costs so little compared to other 19" widescreens. NO BRAINER.

Cons: Really none.

Pros: This is a very nice display that handles gaming well. CS-source is very playable and does not tear at all, Same goes to World of Warcraft. This thing is extremely light and takes up very little space; the buttons on the display are also VERY useful. One button can set the setting to Text, Movie, Sports, Gaming or Custom mode. I found that to be quite useful. Also the software that comes with it allows you to make extremely detailed custom settings. Mine came with no dead pixel and rivals small HDTV's. I would hang this on the wall and watch TV from it no problem. Also the price is soooooo low for the size of this thing. This would be well worth xxx$+.

Cons: None

Overall Review: It also has a very good tilt range.
