Cheap and nice monitor
Pros: -monitor was on sale for about 80$ -23 inches just about 24 which is standard monitor these days -monitor isnt super bright out of the box and has decent coloring -angles is nice on it -quick assembely
Cons: -speakers are not that great, in fact i turned the monitor around and they were louder.... -monitor is frameless BUT there is black bars on the side, so empty space
Overall Review: I havnt really messed with the settings or controls but there easy to get to jsut buttons in bottom right corner of screen. is a very nice cheap monitor that works. That being said its not ment for high end gaming but its good for a work pc or just nice to have as a spare incase something happens to main monitor
works
Pros: lots of pci slots rgb looks decent bios is easy to use rgb is controlleable
Cons: wont let me update bios top 3 pci slots dont work (forcing me to put gpu at the bottem which makes it run hotter)
Pros: not to bad to setup sometimes it didnt notice them and i had to hit the reset button on bottom of the router(its to be a white light and it was blue for some reason)worked fine after hitting button only takes about 10-15 minutes to setup all 3 I have 1 setup in living room 1 in my bedroom and one in garage they are about 70 feet apart form one an other and wifi signal works great my wifi went from 18mb to 138mb(5ghz never reached my office side of the house before now it does)
Cons: the app isnt as good as the router.asus.com configuration You cant configure the 5ghz name to be something differnt then the 2.4ghz(atleast i havnt figgured out how to) they only have 2 ethernet ports 1 lan and 1lan/wan(each) so you may need a switch if you have multiple desktops main one you setup as router need to be ethernet to the modem so only has 1 port(i hooked this up to a switch and then pluged my desktops into switch)
Overall Review: Only big deal I think is the ports 2 ports isnt bad considering you can conect to the main one via wifi(but they do recommend using cable from box to box for even faster) wish they had atleast 4 ports oratleast the main one have 4 ports for desktop/printers considering your other options for meshes its normaly 100$+ per router so these are a bit cheaper then alternatives(got miine for 260)
stoped working
Pros: worked for a year or so
Cons: stopped working and the company is some Chinese company that hard to contact and wont respond
owned if for a week
Pros: ~setup was easy just put in 2 screws in the base at desired height(only has 2heights) ~upgraded from a tn tv to a ips panel and everything looks way more bright and vibrant colors are unbelievable and looks beautiful ~amazing for gaming the extra screen length lets me see more and as mentioned it looks vibrant and colorful ~the monitor almost floats with the stand it comes making me able to put nicknacks and speakers and what not under it ~has multiple settings and presets so can switch between when gaming or browsing internet ~comes with software to split screen(windows 10 can kinda do this but software does it better) ~basicly has a joystick on the monitor to control settings press it in to turn monitor on/off and press it in for okay then just move around to browse threw settings
Cons: ~monitor wants to go to sleep mode about every 4-6 hours and i have to press a button on the monitor to delay this(im sure can turn this off somehow) ~not all video websites do 21:9 aspect ratio(youtube,netflix, hbogo,hulu) however there is a chrome app that stretches or crops to fit 21:9 (still doesnt work for hbogo for me) so some videos willl have blackbars but its not a big issue ~it comes with some black bar with like a hook kinda thing on it i think this is for cable management??? i couldn't figure out what it was for so i just set it aside
Overall Review: love this mointor so happy i got it i was just on a standard 2k native 32 inch led tv, that had flicker and things didnt really pop games was playable but had that glossy glare that they have where this is nice and vibrant super bright colors are beautiful even in 2k, watched some movies in 4k on it and looked amazing, does come with a few things screws stand black thing i have no idea what it is power cable(power is 2 parts it has a power bank) and an hdmi cable
good
Pros: were on sale $1.50 per cable with free shipping got several for the faction of the cost of 1 from other stores 2 day shipping for free as well
Cons: none so far
