Great Monitor

SAMSUNG 19" a-si TFT/TN WXGA+ LCD Monitor 5ms (2ms GTG) D-Sub, DVI 953BW
SAMSUNG 19" a-si TFT/TN WXGA+ LCD Monitor 5ms (2ms GTG) D-Sub, DVI 953BW

Pros: The monitor is so sharp!! The color settings are really neat as well and it can be very bright if needed. If you are upgrading from a smaller old 15in CRT like I did you will be blown away by this thing. I also like how small the foot print is, it will probably fit anywhere you need it to. The blue LED was great because it is well hidden and not bright to the eyes.. I really liked how easy it was to setup..

Cons: Only con is that the buttons should have been a little lower on the bottom of the monitor.. It isn't a big deal and since we have kids, it will make it harder for them to get to the buttons and change things around..

Overall Review: For the price, it is an excellent monitor. If I had a little extra money, I would easily have purchased two more monitors to replace the CRTs on the other computers in the house...

The features you need at a great price!

Pros: - 6 SATA ports! - 4 M.2 slots! - DDR 4! I'm still learning the motherboard but I picked it right away because of the choices that came with the motherboard as far as SATA and M.2 and 12th Gen Intel CPU Support..

Cons: - Its not a huge Con but I am still learning what I can use DDR4 speed wise. I purchased 2 DDR 4000 and not sure if the board supports only 2 DIMMS at this speed or if could add additional DIMMS at the same speed. I am still learning this board and will most likely ask the MSI forums. - I wish that there was a printed manual in the box rather than just the quick installation guide. I had to download the digital manual to understand some of the pin layouts to see where I could connect some of the cables from my cases LED FAN controller to the motherboard. - Windows 11 on install didn't detect the Ethernet card. I had to find a workaround as Windows 11 Home doesn't allow you to cancel on connecting to a network during install. Make sure to search for Stopping Windows11 network connection flow. This isn't a con towards MSI but an additional step must be done to complete the Windows 11 install. After getting to the Windows 11 Desktop, I was able to install the network card drivers and connect to the Internet and download the patches / fixes for Windows 11.

Overall Review: I am very pleased with this Motherboard! I would buy it again in a heartbeat for the features it has. This review is for the MSI Review Rebate Program.
