Expensive, but you get what you pay for

Pros: Everything about this monitor screams high end. The stand is solid metal and extremely sturdy. The panel location can be easily adjusted. The aesthetics are great, very sleek. I'm easily getting 240 fps in Overwatch on a 1080ti on max settings. The software to adjust the display colors is very easy to use. Just have to plug in the USB connection to your computer and download the software, and you're good to go. It comes with several nice presets. I ended up using the FPS preset and then adjusting the contrast slightly. Adjustable blue light is easy on the eyes. On a side note, mine came on brightness setting that was blinding.

Cons: Colors aren't as vibrant as they could be, but are about as good as it gets on a TM panel. Pricey, It's heavy. Noise cancelling features seems pointless.

Overall Review: If you're looking at this, you're probably interested in premium, and this is.

Coil whine

ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4080 Gaming Graphics Card (PCIe 4.0, 16GB GDDR6X, HDMI 2.1a, DisplayPort 1.4a) TUF-RTX4080-16G-GAMING

Pros: Blasts games. Metal card. Almost no plastic. Looks to be good build quality.

Cons: I love Asus. Have one of their laptops, multiple motherboards and cards throughout the years. That being said, this thing had a terrible coil whine. No noise until you fire up a game or benchmark and then it sounds terrible. This thing is $1200. You think somewhere along the line at Asus could have someone listen this while it's under a workload. Ugh. Have a return out to Newegg. Hopefully replacement doesn't have the same problem. Big waste of time. Also the support bracket sucks. Should get a screw design so you can loosen and tighten it while it is under the GPU instead of having to take it out.

Overall Review: Hopefully replacement card does better.
