Pros: Fast from Newegg, included all items, easy to install, all ports work, accepts my Intel 750 M.2 adapter and OS install without issue, amazing software and features, moderate overclock settings are powerful and system is stable. Very positive experience and highly recommend!

Cons: None.

Pros: Soooo tiny.... packaged very well and installation was simple. No issues, and it runs stable at 5GHz on my MSI Z270 Gaming 7.

Cons: None.

Pros: Fast from Newegg, smells nice, runs quiet with ECO off, keeps my stuff powered, and my EVGA 1080Ti SC2 seems to like it... all cables came as expected, installation was easy and has holes everywhere it should that match my anidees AI-08BW ATX case. Very nice power supply and highly recommended.

Cons: None.

Pros: Excellent, very bright picture quality, with a wide range of settings to fit any condition or use. The stand is of good quality, allowing for any number of adjustments. It doesn't move or shake out of position, and I believe the locking pin is only needed to secure the display for shipping. It's the best LCD I've ever owned, all things considered. Widescreen DVDs are great, and all my games are HUGE! Some of them don't autoadjust and stretch to the full width of the screen, but I don't think I want them to. Can hardly wait to get a BluRay hooked up. I don't need two displays anymore.

Cons: Arrived looking like it was rolled down a hill all the way from Edison NJ. However, no physical damage to the display was discovered, so I guess the packaging did the job it was made for. But, the top foam insert was broken in half, and there were some fingerprints on the frame (not mine)! QA! QA! There were no other signs that it was "previously enjoyed". Once connected, I found at least five dead pixels, all in a row, all white. NewEgg return policy states that eight dead/stuck pixels to invoke warranty. They asked if I had spoken with the manufacturer, but I don't want a refurb in exchange for a brand new display. Need to recount the dead ones and hopefully I'll get to eight. If not, then I'll contact Samsung. The five I noticed appear in a horizontal line across the center of the panel. Thought I could ignore them, but it's tough, and now the wife is starting to nag me!

Overall Review: Don't worry about the pixels. On a screen this size, it's not a huge issue, and the overall quality of the 2493HM is truly superior to a number of smaller displays that I've owned over the years, from 14" Dells to 20" ViewSonics. Any display can have pixel problems. I'm not sorry I bought it, and I would buy it again, but hopefully not right away =-)
