Most Favorable Review

Really really nice

ASUS ProArt PA248Q Black 24" (Actual size 24.1") 6ms (GTG) 16:10, 1920 x 1200, IPS, 100% sRGB, Color Accuracy Delta E< 5, Flicker Free, HDMI, D-Sub, DisplayPort, DVI-D LCD Monitor
ASUS ProArt PA248Q Black 24" (Actual size 24.1") 6ms (GTG) 16:10, 1920 x 1200, IPS, 100% sRGB, Color Accuracy Delta E< 5, Flicker Free, HDMI, D-Sub, DisplayPort, DVI-D LCD Monitor

Pros: Beautiful color 1920x1200 Easy to adjust position No dead or stuck pixels

Cons: Doesn't automatically choose active input. Defaults to VGA and you have to manually choose DVI or whatever you are using.

Overall Review: After reading some reviews about color cast and flickering I was a little hesitant to order but I don't see the color cast, flickering or much bleeding. Guess I have bad eyes or lower expectations but I find the display gorgeous. The added extra real estate going from 1920x1080 to 1920x1200 is very noticeable. Whoever decided to make 1920x1080 a standard for computer monitors couldn't have used a computer for anything but movie watching. I am not a heavy gamer but I don't see any ghosting in videos and the games I play. In this respect it seems as good as the monitor it replaced with a 2ms refresh. Unless you are super critical or have an exceptional eye and need a $1,000+ monitor (which I am sure some require), I don't think you can find a better choice at this price

Super Slow

SanDisk Ultra Cruzer Titanium 16GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) Model SDCZ7-016G-A11

Pros: Nice looking

Cons: Slow! Slow! Slow!

Overall Review: This is the slowest USB flash drive I own. After receiving it (9 days in transit, but thats another story) I did a couple of tests. This drive was handily beat out by my Super Talent 16GB drive. My 3 1/2 gig test took a whole 3 minutes longer than than the Super Talent drive and only averaged 5 Mb/sec whereas the Super Talent averaged 6.25Mb/sec. If you are copying anything more than a few meg, be prepared to wait and wait and wait.

cables too short

Is mine defective?

ASUS RT-N56U Wireless Router Dual Band N600 Multimedia Ultra Slim Gigabit 802.11a/b/g/n support USB Storage, Print and Media Server
ASUS RT-N56U Wireless Router Dual Band N600 Multimedia Ultra Slim Gigabit 802.11a/b/g/n support USB Storage, Print and Media Server

Pros: Once set up works well

Cons: Had a very difficult time setting it up. Almost packed it up.

Overall Review: On initial wired setup to desktop, there was no connectivity. reset router, rebooted computer & modem. After 20 minutes of this, finally got a connection. Setting up the wireless was much easier. But going back to the computer later got a duplicate devices with the same ip address error - don't know why, reset and reboot fixed it. I then updated the firmware to 1.0.1.2. Now I can barely get to the router via the browser. It takes minutes to get a partial screen, sometimes it blinks. Doesn't matter what browser nothing works. If I need to change a setting now, I am sunk! I have emailed Asus on this but no reply from their support department yet! Not sure if this will be a keeper yet as I am afraid of issues cropping up that I won't be able to fix.

No Mic

MSI Wind U123-004US Red Intel Atom N280(1.66 GHz) 10.2" WSVGA 1GB Memory 160GB HDD Netbook

Pros: Bright screen, large hard drive. Wireless "N", Bluetooth, decent web cam, N280 processor, big battery, reasonably quick for what it is.

Cons: Built in microphone is totally worthless. Included case doesn't fit the netbook.

Overall Review: Most netbooks are very similar in hardware. I bought this one because it had the faster processor and wireless "N". I was actually pretty impressed by how it performs for surfing and such. But its downfall is the built in mic. You would think that doing such a good job with the rest of the machine, they would have taken the care to include a mic that works. At first try, the mic did not pic up a thing. Then I found screaming on top of your lungs registered a little sound. Searching the web, I found you must turn on boost to get the mic to work. Finally I found the hidden setting and now if I talk loud, I get some sound. Pretty poor! Also, if you sell the unit with a big battery, include a case that fits. The netbook fits in the case, but won't close because the battery is too big. Two minor faults so far. If only the mic worked, I would have rated this a 5. The case is a stupid minor issue.

My wife loves it

Canon PowerShot SD780 IS Red 12.1 MP 3X Optical Zoom Digital Camera

Pros: It is red, small, cute.

Cons: Takes lousy pictures for the most part.

Overall Review: My wife loves this because it comes in her favorite color. It is small, fits in her purse easily, doesn't have many options. She can turn it on, press the button, she is done. After that the fun stops. It doesn't take very good pictures. I actually returned it and got another one hoping I got a lemon. I didn't. Aside from pics taken with the flash indoors at 3 to 5 feet away, the results are poor. ISOs above 400 are useless. The flash is not powerful enough to light anything over a few feet away. Most pictures are overly noisy and grainy. The supposed 12mp image is lost because of all the noise. For an occasional snapshot it will do but in the long run, you will be disappointed.
