VERY GOOD

Pros: very powerful chip. overclocked to 980 core/1150 memory and can still go higher. all games are maxed out, Crysis with max settings @ 1080p runs smoothly. huge value for the price given the ease of high overclocking.
Cons: jet engine fan, but it gets the job done. highest recorded temp 52 degrees.
Overall Review: this is definitely better than the competition at this price for the overclocking.
Free Garbage

Pros: Free
Cons: It's junk of course. They say "don't look a gift horse in the mouth" right? lol. This thing worked for about 6 days. Then it wont be recognized in any computer or device with usb port.
Overall Review: You get what you pay for and in this case I paid for nothing so......
Beautiful

Pros: Slim, lightweight, great picture, colors and contrast. The price is definitely a pro.
Cons: no swivel??
Overall Review: Got 3 of these monitors for eyefinity. They're amazing and the bezel is thin enough. It just kind of disappears after a minute or so. My system specs: AMD Phenom II X6 1090t @4ghz ASUS Crosshair IV mobo Corsair Dominator DDR3 1600 Sapphire HD6950 (unlocked+overclocked) Corsair HX750 psu Thermaltake Frio cpu cooler Silverstone Raven 2 EVO full tower 2 tb hdd
perfect for 1080p

Pros: Gets the job done flawlessly.
Cons: not bundled with every sapphire videocard which I strongly feel it should be.
for shame

Pros: see below
Cons: user error
Overall Review: you have to install new drivers when you switch video card series. drivers for a 4870 wil not work with this.
AMD Wins

Pros: Obviousy the card is powerful. unlocked the card to 1536 shaders(not 6970 bios flash) to avoid any chance of memory errors due to different timings/voltage. OC to 6970 clocks, so i now have a 6970 for $270. did all the relevant stress tests, GPU is fine.
Cons: none at all. AMD drivers actually work for me.
Overall Review: my setup: Phenom II 1090t 4ghz Corsair Dominator DDR3 1600 ASUS Crosshair IV Formula Sapphire HD 6950(unlocked) Corsair HX750 Raven RV02 Evolution full tower case Corsair H50 cpu cooler 3x ACER 23" LED(coming soon)
