Click Click Click
Pros: Allows you to interact with your computer...
Cons: Eats all my wensleydale.
Overall Review: I've had many of these. The last I actually pawned off to a friend so I could get this one, still working after years. I only wish the click wheel wasn't so loud or snappy if you know what I mean by that.
Weak like Mouse
Pros: Sleek design Fits fair enough into my hand Scroll ball is an interesting idea (in theory) Came with rechargeable batteries It's bluetooth with decent range
Cons: Bottom plastic wears incredibly fast, if your desk isn't pristine Scroll ball can get dirty quick. I occasionally can't scroll down.. Gets confused with right clicks often. But middle and 'left' clicks work pretty much all the time. Side buttons are hard to squeeze with ease. Best to pinch both sides...
Overall Review: It lacks the stability that all mice should have these days. The touch concept that apple is pushing into every product shows just how much they care about clicking things. Right and Left clicks should be distinct and I should not have to click something 20 times to get the sweet spot of a right click. It has become my travel mouse and I will go back to mice that have physical left and right buttons.
Feeling Sci-Fi
Pros: Thin; Clean design; Matte screen; Penny width black bezel with no blue LED's on it!; The base has a soft power glow, which is a real plus since monitors I use at work from LG / Acer have painful power lights. The back puts off nearly no heat, just the right side seems warm. That is, barely warm at all, but noticeable to the rest of it.
Cons: The only way to mount this is by using the underside of the base. I have no plans to do mount but it maybe awkward in how it folds. The plastic cover where the screen is being held up seems a bit weak. One dead pixel on blue in the lower left corner (83 over and 130 up). Only noticeable on black or dark images. I've had dead pixels come to life so It's not a biggy, if it were more than one I'd be concerned...
Overall Review: I'm not sure how I feel about the color. Going between multiple monitors in a given day has me feel like this monitor is desaturated in comparison. I'm having a love / hate over it, but working on only this monitor over a weekend I have no complaints and almost prefer it. Even with a dead pixel I already ordered a second to pair up with my current. (Ordered elsewhere but hit newegg first, always) With intentions for using this monitor for PC work only, no xbox/ps3 or hdmi in general, I love it. The price is amazing, more amazing is the fact that there's no hum or buzz and it runs COLD!
Plugs into things
Pros: It plugs into HDMI ports Makes things look pretty Serious note: It does what it should, HDMI to HDMI...
Cons: Didn't come with candy
Overall Review: I use this with my 24" Gateway and 360. I don't use this for audio, I crammed my component cable next to it instead for that. There may be cheaper. I'm sure there are pricier. This one does it's thing for me...
Does its job
Pros: Saves buying batteries or taking the time to charge AA's "Does its job" What you see is what you get
Cons: Plastic packaging makes even the Hulk cower in defeat to a pair of hefty scissors... or a chainsaw...
Overall Review: All 360 packages, cheap or pro, should have one of these. But that's complaint towards Microsoft, not the functionality of the product.
