A Big Leap

ASUS 23" LCD Monitor 1ms (GTG) HDMI x 2, D-Sub VX238H
ASUS 23" LCD Monitor 1ms (GTG) HDMI x 2, D-Sub VX238H

Pros: I'd been using a laptop with a 13.1" screen for the last five years, so this was a huge leap for me. Almost everything on this monitor is excellent. The speakers are a good feature for when I take my computer over to a friend's and don't want to lug my Altec Lansings with me. The color and vibrancy on this is as amazing as Asus makes out it to be. Best of all, you don't really have to adjust anything. It just works right out of the box. The design is superb. The bezel is unobtrusive and the screen itself is also very thin. The stand was also quite sturdy, despite it being a hollow circle (which looks cooler, in my opinion).

Cons: The volume/menu up/down buttons are not next to each other, which makes selecting things by feeling the buttons tough.

Overall Review: This is an excellent product and I highly recommend it to gamers, multimedia producers/editors, and any sort of power user. For a regular user, i.e. an office environment, go with the cheaper VS model.

Most Critical Review

Pump died one day after return period

NZXT Kraken 360mm - RL-KN360-B1 – AIO CPU Liquid Cooler - LCD Display - 3 x F120P Static Pressure Fan Radiator Fans LGA 1851,1700 / AM5 Compatible
NZXT Kraken 360mm - RL-KN360-B1 – AIO CPU Liquid Cooler - LCD Display - 3 x F120P Static Pressure Fan Radiator Fans LGA 1851,1700 / AM5 Compatible

Pros: - Quiet - Decent temps (around 60C playing most games at ultra with i7-13700k and 3080TI) - Installation was easy enough - LED screen is good for determining the pump has stopped working

Cons: - Pump stopped working one day after return period - CAM software is a nightmare and has serious privacy concerns

Overall Review: This being my second pump after my previous one failed, very frustrating to have it fail in such a short time. I installed it properly (io tubes on the bottom of the cpu, radiator on the top) and tried all the standard troubleshooting but it was completely dead. Disappointed as I'd heard good things about NZXT in the past but think I'll steer clear now. Two eggs for it being an overall decent product if you're lucky enough to not get a lemon
