Pros: Very fine, very crisp detail. No discernable flickering like you might get if you had a 4K/30Hz display. Nice slim profile in case you wanted to VESA mount on a monitor arm or similar. The stand is nice and seems sturdy enough to hold the 28" size of this monitor.

Cons: None really.

Overall Review: There is a color temperature mismatch between my two monitors. My older monitor uses compact flourescent lights for the backlight source, and this is LED. The result is that this monitor has more of a blue tint than my older one. Not a big deal, but side by side it's noticable. I decide to get a second one of these and put my other monitor out to pasture so my dual display would be more closely matched.

Pros: Stable, high core count, high thread count, DDR4 memory, 4 channel memory, lots of PCI-e lanes

Cons: Price is the only real gripe

Overall Review: I bought this because the 6 core Haswell-E processors were all hamstrung in one way or another. I was reluctant because of the price, but I went ahead anyway. My main CPU intensive task is video encoding. To encode 1920x1080 video into a nice, compact h264 bitstream is a very CPU intensive task. My old machine was an AMD 6 core CPU overclocked to 3.7GHz. I had enabled GPU help in the encode, but even the AMD CPU was fast enough that the encoder only lightly used the GPU for filtering and did the encoding on the CPU. With this CPU, I overclocked it to 4.0GHz (easily) with nothing more than using a water cooler system. Even on 8 hour long encoding sessions the water cooler and 4.0GHz setting keeps the CPU from ever going above about 48 to 50' C. I can tell when I'm encoding because the fan speed on the water cooler kicks up, but that's it. With this setup in place, this CPU is about 3 times faster than my old 6 core AMD CPU. 1920x1080 encodes went from being about 2 times real time to about 2/3 real time (meaning on the AMD setup a 1 hour encode took 2 hours to complete, but on this setup a 1 hour encode takes about 40 minutes to complete). So there you go.

Pros: I have the 1200 watt version of this power supply, and I've been using it to power bitcoin miners. It's been putting out a steady 1000 watts of 12v power for over a month under 24x7 conditions without a single hitch and it runs exceptionally cool even under these high load conditions.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: The fully modular nature is nice too. Since I don't use any of the normal plugs for things like SATA or other stuff, only the 12v PCI-e plugs, it keeps my clutter down.

Pros: * Unit had 0 dead pixels as advertised. * Picture quality is reasonably good. I don't think these panels will win any awards, but they won't generally be returned either. * Unit arrived fast and was packaged very well against damage. * I appreciate the slim design and light weight of such a large monitor.

Cons: * Speakers that are built in aren't worth ever using. * Stand is very flimsy. It will hold the monitor, but I wouldn't expect it to withstand even a modest bump from someone walking by and accidentally hitting it. * Tilt mechanism in stand is not easy to manipulate. * Brightness and volume control are the only two controls available in the electronics. There is no color adjustment, contrast, or anything else. This is fine as long as your picture is OK, but probably explains why in the Pros section I had to qualify that quality is reasonable good but won't win awards.

Overall Review: This serves my purpose just fine. I don't need lots of bells and whistles on a monitor. I need pixels. Lots of them. That's it. This allows me to get that without the expense of a lot of things I don't need. It would have been smart on their part to add a little picture adjustment control, I think it might result in a few more sales and a few less returns if people can tweak the settings on a specific panel to make up for manufacturing variance in panel image quality. Even without that though, the picture is still good enough for my work (mostly text based work, computer programming and the like...not things like Photoshop or video editing/mastering...for those tasks you would probably do best with the higher end monitors that have more intelligence and picture image quality controls and adjustments).
