Edit to my Review Below
Pros: After playing with settings a bit more, and with the video card settings as well, I do think that it is a bit dark even with settings set up the same as my 25/26 inch ASUS, I can't seem to get this one as bright. Still a nice clear picture though. Will keep playing around with them.
Cons: Nothing more that mentioned before..wobbly !
Overall Review: I just wanted to fix my comment on my hookup using the audio cable and HDMI, forgot to mention that my secondary computer used with that monitor came with a dedicated sound card. Not that it makes much difference with sound though, monitor sound is never that good !
Had to return (RMA)
Pros: I had bought the same PC for my son in April, his is great (review is not showing yet, got 5 eggs). His is FAST and has NO issues.....SO, I decided to go ahead and get the same one for me to use for work and play. Can't really give mine a good rating as waiting for a return.
Cons: It came Damaged, Defected and Not as Specified. UPS manhandled it to start with. The case is so uneven that I had to prop a notebook under one of the feet and the fan buttons were a bit wonky and did not seem to work correctly. When I started to load my stuff on the 2 TB hard drive a ticking noise started up, got louder and after several minutes stopped. It also came with the newer Z97 motherboard (MSI PC Mate, military edition) This it NOT a bad thing unless you have surround sound speakers which I do because that motherboard does not support surround sound, has 3 ports instead of 6. With all mentioned, I decided it best to return it, having money tied up in something damaged and not correct specs is just not right. I was hoping to be sent another one as I was told, but now reviewing my RMA status it says I am getting a Refund ?? I really want a Return...so will have to call when they are open.
Overall Review: I am thinking of trying to pick this up in person and avoid UPS if I CAN. Our new driver is horrible and even delivered mine to a neighbors down the street, upside down for that matter. That is, If I do get a Return and not refund. Its only a 6 hour drive round trip to New Jersey :/
