120Hz of awesome

ViewSonic FuHzion X Series VX2265wm Black 22" 3ms 120Hz 3D Ready Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 1000:1

Pros: Incredibly smooth motion when watching videos and playing games. The 3D Vision support is nice too, it makes all my PC games feel like I am playing them for the first time.

Cons: There is some backlight bleeding, but it's really only noticeable when the entire screen is black.

Overall Review: Great LCD display that's easy on the eyes.

Most Critical Review

Disappointed

Rosewill  18 pcs Stainless-Steel BBQ Set with Aluminum Storage Case R18BBQ-A
Rosewill 18 pcs Stainless-Steel BBQ Set with Aluminum Storage Case R18BBQ-A

Pros: Nice stainless steel. Big.

Cons: Case is made of cheap cardboard with aluminum wrapped around it. Mine came cracked and dented out on the top and bottom due to the length of tools stretching the case. The brush was also pressed against the inside case the denting it and the bristles are all messed up from being pressed tightly against the roof.

Overall Review: I got this for half off with free shipping and still feel disappointed.

Cheap tablet with big screen

Freelander PD800 9.7" Tablet PC Android 4.1 RK3188 Cortex-A9 Quad-core 2048x1536 IPS Retina Screen 2GB+16GB 5.0MP Camera Bluetooth HDMI
Freelander PD800 9.7" Tablet PC Android 4.1 RK3188 Cortex-A9 Quad-core 2048x1536 IPS Retina Screen 2GB+16GB 5.0MP Camera Bluetooth HDMI

Pros: The tablet itself feels quite solid. The high resolution screen looks good. HDMI out and lots of other ports.

Cons: The tablet it very slow, everything about it lags. The touchscreen is awful, and there does not seem to be any way to calibrate it.. When you pres down it often jerks in random directions making it impossible to make smooth lines and hard to hit links/buttons. There is only one speaker on the back which has really poor audio quality.

Overall Review: The screen looks nice, aside from the backlight bleed. The specs are good but it doesn't run nearly as well as it should.

Awful. Avoid at any price.

ALURATEK ABS03F PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER
ALURATEK ABS03F PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER

Pros: Small design. Feels solid and pairs easily.

Cons: Sound is lower than my tablet and it with ambient noise I can barely hear if I hold it up to my ear. That is with the volume max. The loudest noise it makes is a beep to let you know it cannot go any louder. Really pathetic volume and you can't return this product so be prepared to toss it in the trash if you made this mistake of buying one.

Overall Review: Do not purchase this if you are hoping for a speaker that sounds louder. You will be better off with your own tablet or phones speakers.

Feels Good.

PowerA PS3 Pro Elite Wireless Controller
PowerA PS3 Pro Elite Wireless Controller

Pros: The controller has all the features of the standard PS3 controller with a nicer feel that is easy to grip. The L2 and R2 triggers are better as well.

Cons: The left analog sticks when pressed to the right and will stay stuck until moved. The deadzones are also very bad. The left analog cannot reach the upper left corner no matter how much you push. That means you can only walk in that direction in games that require you to push the analog all the way to run.

Overall Review: A nice design and comfortable feel is ruined by poor deadzones making unsuitable for any gaming needing analog sensitivity to move. I had read others had this problem but I was hoping it had been fixed.

Ouch

HEC 6C28BBX585 Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 585W Power Supply
HEC 6C28BBX585 Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 585W Power Supply

Pros: The case looks nice out the outside and I had a first aid kit with lots of bandages.

Cons: lots of sharp metal edges and loss of blood. Asus motherboard would not line up correctly with a back plate.

Overall Review: Never going to buy a cheap case like this again. Nightmare to work with.
