Great for Desktop work. Great for gaming.

Pros: 3840x2160 resolution. 120Hz @ 1920x1080 Good Color Good Viewing Angles AWESOME CONTRAST Good response time. Low Input lag (at non-4k resolutions)
Cons: 30Hz @ 3840x2160.
Overall Review: If you reflash this display with the 50 inch models firmware it fixes an issue where it will correctly display 120Hz @ 1080p without frame skipping. It also does perfect pixel doubling at 1080p with this firmware mode which is ideal for computer use so its the biggest 120Hz S-MVA panel I am aware of. Contrast ratio is *excellent* and much better than IPS. Colors/viewing angles are almost as good as an IPS display and the extra contrast makes up for this which makes me feel this looks better than most IPS displays. There is almost no latency when scaling at lower resolutions. It has one frame of input lag. This means only ~8ms when running 1920x1080@120Hz. Also putting it down to 1280x720 @240Hz helps decrease this to ~4ms of latency for those who need as little input lag as possible. First person shooters on a 39 inch display at 120Hz is awesome. Most games couldn't hit good frame rates at 4k anyway so just put it at 1080p for games and get the awesome 120Hz smoothness. The 30hz is really not bad for regular desktop use as a monitor (browsing, programming, playing video). Its really only gaming where that is a problem but the 120Hz gives you an excellent alternative for gaming. I think for most serious gamers the responsiveness is more important than resolution anyway and 1080p is still not bad for doing 120Hz gaming. Considering this display has gone as cheap as $400 online it makes it an excellent value and would recommend to many people.
Newegg needs to stop forcing this on users.

Pros: Nothing.
Cons: If you return an item that came with this and don't include this they charge you $50.
Overall Review: Many people have absolutely 0 need for this stupid add-on option that newegg ads with absolutely no way to remove. After buying two video cards that came with this newegg tried to charge me $100 when I returned them without this stupid thing. Thankfully I had the boxes but it meant yet another trip up there for a stupid piece of paper. Auto adding an extra thing is nice but newegg you seriously need to give the customers the option to remove it.
Good drives.

Pros: Reliable Cheap Not seagate
Cons: None. They do their job.
Overall Review: I bought 24 of these for a colo server from newegg. 20 of the 24 disks arrived in a normal OEM disk box with slots for each disk keeping them firm and secure. Four of the disks were shipped with just a little bubble wrap in a huge box where they could move around all over the place and get banged up despite newegg saying they dont do this anymore. I stress tested the disks for 3 days and unsurprisingly I had a disk fail on me on me the next day after the server was colo'd. I put the four disks that had bad shipping in slots 1-4 of the server and the disk that failed was slot 1.... With how much the colo will charge me to ship the disk back its not even worth trying to get a refund so I am just out the cash :(

Pros: Thin Light 4k GTX 970M (fast for gaming)
Cons: 48Hz (huge negative) No way to disable Optimus. Gold in color.
Overall Review: I have been waiting and waiting for a 15 inch 4k upgrade that wasn't significantly heavier/bigger than my macbook pro retina. The first surprise was that the thing is a very odd/non-normal color being gold despite newegg showing black images. That in-itself was bad enough but the main issue is that upon getting the laptop configured I found that the display is only 48Hz. This is not mentioned anywhere in the specs and is a pretty significant issue especially in something marketed as a 'gaming' notebook. I believe part of the reason for this is due to the optimus graphics which by the way is impossible to disable and get the GPU to drive the display directly. The 48Hz and/or optimus causes issues for those of us who want to run linux but also in windows as I find dragging windows around is often laggy (low frame rate) or a huge delay (likely due to the non-60Hz refresh rate). Needless to say this laptop was a huge disappointment. I was pretty happy with the gaming performance but the 48hz and desktop use just ruined it for me. IMHO any laptop or display that can not do industry standard 60Hz should be advertised as that being the case in big bolded/colord letters. They don't mention it on this one even in the detailed specifications.
Worth every cent.

Pros: Good range Batteries last a long time (1+ year) Good keyboard layout. Trackball works good. Light. Cheap.
Cons: Nothing. Yup nothing.
Overall Review: I have owned 4 or 5 of these over the years for my various HTPC setups. So far they have worked great. These usually go for $40-50 and outperform even $80 ones I have bought. Out multiple years and muptiples one I can honestly say none have died on me and i rarely have to replace batteries. I am overall very happy with these. I would recommend these over more expensive/heavier models which didn't last as long.
Works great as HTPC box

Pros: Cheap Low power Small form factor. Real computer. Hardware accelerated video decoding.
Cons: Could be a bit faster
Overall Review: This worked great on a trusty (14.04) install of ubuntu with xbmc. Plays 1080p h264 (high bit-rate) files with no problems with audio over HDMI. Video is accelerated using VAAPI to offload decoding to the GPU, worked for every file I tried. Even without GPU decoding on mplayer2 it was fast enough to play high bit-rate 720p bluray rips. All in all well worth the $150. Slapped a SSD and 4 GB of ram and with a wireless keyboard/mouse (IOGEAR GKM561R) it makes a great HTPC able to handle everything I throw at it for under $300 completed. It boots quite fast with the SSD and with a full ubuntu install can be used for doing browsing and other stuff, etc...
