Pros: Excellent contrast and black levels as expected of a VA panel. Response time/motion blur seems above average for this price range. The all-metal stand and sturdy construction of the monitor case look and feel like quality. Includes a VESA-certified Belkin DisplayPort cable. That was a surprise.

Cons: A big cloud of backlight bleed covers the left half of the screen extending to the middle. Very noticeable and distracting in dark scenes. The viewing angle seems bad even by VA and TN standards. Response time is fair, but input lag is godawful and my biggest disappointment so far. An AMD GPU for FreeSync is required, unfortunately for my nvidia card and me.

Overall Review: I'm currently debating whether it's worth getting a Vega just for this monitor. While it is an upgrade over my IPS 2560x1080 LG Ultrawides, input lag in games is quickly sapping my initial enthusiasm. Not to mention the bleed which may warrant an exchange.

Pros: Free is free and free is good.

Cons: Despite the "$99 value," once you redeem it on Intel's site it becomes the $69 standard edition.

Overall Review: I'm guessing it's a miscommunication somewhere. I wouldn't have bought the game anyway so no loss or gain here.

Cons: It seemed like it could be a fun diversion.

Overall Review: At the end of the bunker when my framerate dropped to the teens (7900XTX, 4k, all quality settings low), I quit out and uninstalled it.

Pros: Feels somewhat sturdy, but the recline mechanism looks to be a failure point. The base and casters are really nice. No squeaks or creaks after two months.

Cons: My number one complaint is that the foam padding is thin and very hard. Not firm - firm padding in a chair is good - but hard and unyielding. I understand that this is a budget chair with compromises to quality, but that doesn't mean it should be painful after an hour of use. The maximum height is far lower than it should be for a "Big & Tall" chair. At 6'4, sitting in this chair at its max height, my knees rest above my waist which is not an ergonomic sitting position. Thankfully it's a simple fix - some 1/4"-1/2" metal spacers between the base and chair raise it enough to sit properly, but that's not something the customer should have to do. The recline/lay flat mechanism causes the whole back of the chair to be sloppy and wobbly even when locked in the upright position The seat area is too big even for this type of chair.

Overall Review: Despite all the cons, I don't dislike the chair. It's better than the 20+ year old Steelcase Leap I was using. The pleather is holding up nicely. It's a good idea to check and tighten all the bolts. I found nearly all the armrest and seat bolts were loose after only a few months.

Pros: Runs so cool I sometimes wonder if the sensors are malfunctioning. Plenty of undervolt and overclocking headroom

Cons: As always with AMD GPUs, the buggy software and drivers can be a headache for people who just want their stuff to work.

Overall Review: I was shocked at the performance increase at 4k compared to my 6950XT.

Pros: Nearly double the speed of my EX920 It stores and reads data real good

Cons: If you can find fault with a super fast SSD at a reasonable price then you are nitpickier than I. It’s not PCI-e 4.0 I suppose? Not that it would make any difference in a desktop for the majority of people. It’s not PCI-e 5.0 or 6.2 either. Way to future proof for non-existent standards, WD. It was a tight fit in the M.2 slot, but once you go WD Black you don’t go back.

Overall Review: It performs its primary function well.
