Most Favorable Review

Excellent displau BUT...

LG 27" UltraGear 27GP850-B QHD 2560 x 1440 Nano IPS 1ms 165Hz(OC 180Hz) HDR HDMI DisplayPort FreeSync Premium G-Sync Compatible Tilt Pivot Height Adjust Gaming Monitor
LG 27" UltraGear 27GP850-B QHD 2560 x 1440 Nano IPS 1ms 165Hz(OC 180Hz) HDR HDMI DisplayPort FreeSync Premium G-Sync Compatible Tilt Pivot Height Adjust Gaming Monitor

Cons: LG Software appears to have two bugs when running two Ultragear displays at the same time as the problems did not occur with the display I was using prior to buying this 27" unit: --> When the computer was turned on the initial lock screen would go into screen saver mode as it is supposed to but then enter the log-in screen after 2 ~ 4 images by itself with no input from me. --> Occasionally the unit would power up to black screens on both displays every 3 ~ 6 power-ons. The computer BIOS power up sequence was fully visible but both screens were black. Cycling the power always brought back the computer with normal displays. My solution was to remove the LG display software from the Windows power up sequence.

Overall Review: I bought this display not for gaming but rather to use as a secondary display for reading gaming pages while gaming on my 32" LG 32GP83B-B monitor that I had purchased a few months prior to this one. I bought this 2nd UltraGear due to the high resolution display and color quality that I was experiencing with the 32" one I have. Other than the software bug ( how many persons run two of the same model displays? ) I have no issues and fully recommend thesis ( these? ) displays.

Big AM4 upgrade!

Pros: Bought this GPU as a gift for my nephew. He was using an RX6700XT in his system until now. Had to do a BIOS update afterwards. He has been using it for a number of weeks now and he is very happy with it. Low noise and great performance increase.

Cons: Other than having to do a BIOS upgrade which I try not to do unless necessary there really is no negatives.

Overall Review: AMD's RX 9070 XT is a great upgrade for anyone planning to keep their systems for a few more years. Definately the best bang for the buck at this time.

Excellent product but I did not need it!

Overall Review: As mentioned in the title I did not need this 1 year subscription as I was ( and still am ) already subscribed to NordVPN. So far no issues that I am aware of and can recommend the product

Good card for the less than hardcore gamer

GIGABYTE AORUS Radeon RX 6700 XT ELITE 12G Graphics Card, WINDFORCE 3X Cooling System, 12GB 192-bit GDDR6, GV-R67XTAORUS E-12GD Video Card
GIGABYTE AORUS Radeon RX 6700 XT ELITE 12G Graphics Card, WINDFORCE 3X Cooling System, 12GB 192-bit GDDR6, GV-R67XTAORUS E-12GD Video Card

Pros: 1) Don't have to overclock, it comes stock in OC 2) Runs quiet 3) Runs cool

Cons: Nothing at all ( other than the price )

Overall Review: Just so that you know I took off one star only because of the inflated price that we are paying at this time and not due to the quality / performance of the card. I am a casual gamer and not a hardcore FPS aficionado yet I do games in 1440p such as Elder Scrolls Online and other types of games where extreme frame rates are not an issue, display rendition and gaming experience are! I did not OC anything in this build, just left it all stock so that it would run quiet and cool. New build: Ryzen 7 3700X ( way better than my prior Ryzen 7 1700 build from four years ago ), ASUS TUF Gaming X570-Pro, Patriot Viper Steel 32GB (2 x 16GB) SDRAM DDR4 3600, Noctua NH-U12S CPU Cooler ( with a second 120mm fan in push pull configuration ), FIVE Noctua NF-A14 PWM, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin ( I wanted the computer to run cool! ), Fractal Design Define 7 Black Brushed Aluminum / Steel E-ATX ( Really good quality ) Corsair Force MP600 M.2 2280 1TB ( Has a heat sink, runs cool! ) NO RGB LIGHTING! I had RGB on two other prior builds and I and sick of it.

Probably one of the best SATA cables around

Overall Review: I have been using thes cables since two ago and have found them to be very well built. The locking mechanism is a plus. Good choice of lenghts.

Great second drive in my laptop!

Overall Review: Once I got the proper tools to pry open the laptop ( Acer Nitro 5 with Ryzen 4 CPU ) it was an easy installation. Just took a few minutes to set up in Win10 and now works great. Great upgrade for the money.

VERY good mouse but...

Recommended for any user who doesn't have large hands ( which I do! ) and that is why I took the rating down down by one. It is almost too small for my right hand. Only used it for a few days so far and other than the size I am very pleased with it.

Ordered a 2nd UPS this time for my media player system

I ordered the same model of UPS nine moths or so ago for my gaming pc and am so satisfied with the operation ( had a number of power failures where it worked flawlessly ) that I ordered another one of the same model and from the same vendor for my media player pc. Once again installation was very easy and the unit is working as expected. My TV as well as other my Bell Fibe device are also hooked up to the UPS.
