wow
Pros: Spectacular brightness, resolution, color, blacks. No rainbow effect, shearing, and otherwise that I've noticed from watching movies, playing games, and surfing web. Picture does not suffer from daylight (first time in 4 years of projector ownership), so I can turn on cartoon's etc. for kids while visitors are over; previously owned an 2400 lumen projector and this one easily outdoes it, even in ECO mode. Don't have to turn off the lights to see dark scenes in games anymore. Lot's of features, auto off, auto ECO, others. Looks great on photo background paper and Projector screen fabric at 163" diagonal.
Cons: Some color adjustment features are not available depending on what input you use (HDMI). However, adjustments are still available and most new tech has supplemental color adj. options. But I didn't even need to adjust it, P$3 and Computer (HDMI & VGA) both at 1920x1080, colors look great.
Overall Review: Short throw was "shorter" than my previous short throw projector. Required a much larger screen to mount in same location. Used first on photography background paper, but just bought projector screen material from C@rl's Pl@ce and built a frame at 144" wide (screen 136" wide, 163" diagonal!) per website instructions, and visitors are shocked that I made it. I thoroughly enjoy the larger screen size, but this may be an issue if someone is limited in space, so do your research, I was aware of this beforehand. Best projector that I have owned, or seen in person(at retail stores). Highly recommended. Will review again after a few months.
3rd time buying
Pros: It works, and is cheap
Cons: Not fancy, no sheathed cables, etc.
Overall Review: Not loud, but not silent. Works great, third one used for various builds.
Tiny!
Pros: Smaller than expected, looks good, feels durable, fast enough.
Cons: None for the price.
Overall Review: everything is as expected, and it is faster than other "cheap" usb drives I own.
Amazing
Pros: Advertised speeds on my laptops USB3.0 port and my Rosewi!! PCIEx1 USB 3.0 adapter. ~90MB/s write and ~180MB/s read with movies, games, music, large powerpoint files and random documents. Sturdy build.
Cons: It's not tiny.
Overall Review: Combined with my ADATA sx900 SSD, installed skyrim off the USB stick in <1 min till complete. Took several minutes with my USB 2.0 stick.
Good Stuff
Pros: Does what it is supposed to do, and does it well. Comes with a spreader; is a step up from the business cards I was using prior. Have used it on 3 processors so far, and have barely scratched the surface!
Cons: Spreader can be hard to manipulate, but better than nothing!
Overall Review: Only one of the cpus so far were used for gaming, phenom II 550, and it lowered the temps cooler than the stock heat sink paste. Will buy again if I ever run out...
Pros: inexpensive
Cons: inexpensive
Overall Review: For the reviewer who could not find the drive after it was "properly formatted", in windows 7, the drive needs to be assigned a drive letter and partition in disk management under computer management before you can see the disk under 'computer'.
