Pros: Good color reproduction Bright Large but not excessively so Standby mode is responsive, blue LED not incredibly bring, so it is bearable and not obtrusive Easy to set up and adjust

Cons: Manual is somewhat hard to understand, seems to be shoehorned Lacks DVI input Will not allow non-native resolutions to be set by the user unless forced (i.e. game running only at 1360x768, will run properly, but you cannot set it to such a resolution within the control panel)

Overall Review: It's a good monitor for the price, and is a good replacement for an older or smaller monitor.

Pros: Very powerful Quieter than my stock fan Whereas my stock fan would run about 70C under the stresses I put it under, this kept below 35 C with the same stress I used to idle at 30C, now I idle at 20C

Cons: AMD mounting bracket can be a little tricky if you aren't taking the motherboard out of the case A little taller than I expected. I used previous comments' guidelines, but it still nudges against the side of my case, and I had to move a case fan to a different slot

Overall Review: For the price, you really can't do a whole lot better. I'd suggest this to anyone doing a build with a processor exceeding 120 watts.
