Pros: High Resolutions (of course) Awesome stand. Flexible inputs. Power supply is external.

Cons: Lots of wasted space in bezels, bigger footprint than needed. Monitor arrived damaged from factory, some functions don't work.

Overall Review: This monitor has a huge, heavy, brushed aluminum chassis. Mine arrived with a lage dent on one side, where it was struck with enough force to bend some internal brackets and shear through the screws holding the bezel together. Since the packaging was pristine, this obviously happened at the factory, and the unit was simply boxed up and sent on it's way. I can probably bang it back into shape and cobble it back together, but this isn't supposed to be a cheap disposable monitor. The VGA and HDMI inputs didn't work (despite trying a couple of cables). The DVI inputs, fortunately, work fine and I'll that rather than paying shipping and RMA charges. The picture is good, and the screen is bright and evenly illuminated. I've been using a Samsung 305T for a few years, and I think the contrast is slightly better on the DoubleSight. Overall, this would have been a good value if the company had implemented any sort of quality control.

Pros: It's a lovely piece of engineering. This combination of heat pipes and an enormous all-copper radiating body would work reasonably well even without a fan.

Cons: Sadly, Zalman cheaped out on the fan, using a 3-pin fan rather than the 4-pin variety. The extra pin is what allows modern motherboards to regulate fan speed by a PWM signal (% of Duty). They include a clunky resististor-based manual control instead. So, your bright shiny new monster-machine gets a gorgeous high-tech heat sink, with a speed control from the 80's strapped on. Blech!

Overall Review: I'm looking at replacing the fan. The copper is excellent, and the cooling performance is top-notch.

Pros: Specs look good.

Cons: Non-standard form factor

Overall Review: This drive is sold as a standard 2.5" laptop drive. However, it's about 3/16" thicker than any other laptop drive I've ever seen. It's the proper width and length, but it won't fit in a laptop drive bay unless you have a lot of empty space in your case (which is increasingly unlikely in a laptop). So, it's an expensive brick for me -- maybe I'll add it to my desktop, or set it up as an external drive, but it's NOT useful as a laptop drive. You've been warned!
