Most Favorable Review

Fast, stable, large and loud

GIGABYTE Super Overclock Series GeForce GTX 680 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card GV-N680SO-2GD

Pros: - fastest factory overclock you can get on a 680 at the moment. - seems stable and nvidia drivers are amazing. - coming from a 7970, this wasn't much of an upgrade. I just could not stand the drivers on my ati card any longer. This is a pleasant change.

Cons: HEAVY. It's so heavy that Gigabyte includes some rubber stands to hold the card up. I knew this before buying it, but this card is large and very heavy. The fans make a high pitch whistle which can be distracting. I did not know about this and was a little annoyed by it at first. I am thinking about RMAing the card because of the noise, but from my research, it's normal for this card. Not sure if I want to go through the hassle of replacing it. I am getting used to it.

Overall Review: It does what I expected it to do. It's fast and I can max out most games I play. I wish I would have known about this noise before hand.

Initial impressions

LG LM7600 series 55" 1080p 240Hz LED-LCD HDTV 55LM7600

Pros: - size - thickness (or lack there of) - picture quality - speed with menus

Cons: - not very intuitive - small flashlight effect on bottom right. Does not really affect my viewing experience. But it's there, none the less. - Remote is difficult to get used to. Once you get used to it, it becomes a rather nice feature. I put this as a negative as I would still to have a traditional remove included. - Sound is lacking.. but it is a TV

Overall Review: All of the important factors are positives. If you want an amazing TV with amazing display properties, don't hesitate. If you have no idea how to calibrate a TV and really don't want to have to mess with the settings a whole lot, I would look for something else.
