Pros: I was initially a little skeptical when I saw that this was a TN panel because of the notoriously bad viewing angles of them, but this one more than blew me away in that aspect. I honestly can see it fine with no discoloration from almost any angle. Since it's a TN panel, it has a quick response time too. Yes, the color isn't as vivid as an IPS display and color banding is pretty obvious in the right circumstances, but I'm not looking for photo realistic colors, I'm after high refresh rates and quick response times. Also, It says it's only 24" but on the right desk, it looks huge! Over all, for the price, this is a must have if you want to move up from being locked at 60Hz at 1080p. A word of advice though: If you're going to be using this through DisplayPort, buy a VESA certified cord and NOTHING LESS! If the cord isn't certified, it could send tiny amounts of voltage into the output, potentially ruining your expensive GPU. I bought this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812607083 It doesn't say it on Newegg's product page, but if you search the exact same model number online (Accell B142C-010B-2) and do some reading, it says it's VESA certified.

Cons: The only thing i don't really like about it is the fact that they have the plastic on the back under the plate that holds the monitor rod to the back. I have yet to figure out how to remove the plate so i can seperate the screen from the rod to remove the rest of the plastic......mildly annoying to say the least.

Overall Review: As stated before, I would recommend this to anyone looking to get higher than 60fps at 1080p but doesn't want to spend more than $300. This is a great deal in my opinion.

Pros: -Great build quality. Can't go wrong with MSI. -The UEFI BIOS is very easy to navigate, definitely a plus for me as I hate clunky BIOS systems. -Pretty well priced at about $100 -Comes with two SATA data cables, and a very nice looking MSI case badge -Supports Crossfire and SLI (currently running on two MSI R9 270x's Crossfired with no problems)

Cons: The only complaint I have is that, with my case (the soon-to-be-replaced Enermax Ostrog), the rear jacks don't quite budge out of the holes in the rear I/O shield like they should and as such, they look a bit more recessed into the case than they should. That doesn't really bug me though because I can still access the one's I use fine.

Overall Review: Absolutely great motherboard. There's a reason I'm a fan of MSI. Their stuff just works. I definitely would buy this again. I highly recommend this board if you're looking for a great 2-way Crossfire/SLI board that just is loaded with features and won't let you down. Oh, and I haven't messed with it yet but I hear great things about OC Genie 4, which is built into the board.
