Creative HS-1200 USB Connector Circumaural Digital Wireless Gaming Headset
Creative HS-1200 USB Connector Circumaural Digital Wireless Gaming Headset

Pros: Wireless headset, fast recharge if powered down, can use while charging at cost of slower charge, fairly good sound quality, very clearly audible at full volume, deformable mic, looks like a fairly rugged design that will last awhile.

Cons: You almost have to swallow the mic to be heard clearly, short cable cripples both free movement while charging and antenna placement freedom, beeps over and over for low power warning, must hold power button for 5 secs to power off, turns itself on when plugged into charger, can't swap out used battery for fresh one.

Overall Review: This device looks like it is very solid from a technical standpoint (i.e. was fairly solidly engineered) but not much thought was given to how a user would actually use it. The experience isn't horrible but it also isn't very elegant. It would only take a few minor adjustments to make this product a 5 egg device.

I regret this purchase.

AOC i2367Fh Black / Silver 23" 5ms IPS Frameless Widescreen LCD/LED Monitor, 250 cd/m2 50,000,000:1, Ultra Narrow Bezel 2mm, Built-in Speakers, D-Sub HDMI
AOC i2367Fh Black / Silver 23" 5ms IPS Frameless Widescreen LCD/LED Monitor, 250 cd/m2 50,000,000:1, Ultra Narrow Bezel 2mm, Built-in Speakers, D-Sub HDMI

Pros: +Cheap. +IPS reduces color change because of viewing angle. +Displays over 16.7 MILLION colors.

Cons: -The colors are washed out (cold) next to my cheap monitor (HannsG HZ281). -You cannot fix the colors and also use dynamic contrast. -Dynamic contrast effect is severely reduced if not in dark room. -OSD menu is unwieldy behind the screen. -OSD menu keys up and down move backwards. -Wobbly base.

Overall Review: I'd gotten tired of looking at the blue glow in my cheap HannsG HZ281 and it will be years before 4k monitors are competitive so I thought I would sacrifice 1200 height and response time for better color and dynamic contrast but the color is even worse; the white of this AOC is even bluer than my old cheap monitor.
