Most Favorable Review

Very Pleased!!

Asus VG236H 23" 1920 x 1080 Full HD HDMI Multimedia Height & Swivel Adjustable WideScreen LCD 120Hz 3D Monitor 400 cd/m2 100,000:1 (ASCR)
Asus VG236H 23" 1920 x 1080 Full HD HDMI Multimedia Height & Swivel Adjustable WideScreen LCD 120Hz 3D Monitor 400 cd/m2 100,000:1 (ASCR)

Pros: Lots of real estate, BRIGHT, crystal clear, superb color. This screen replaced a 20" Viewsonic VX2035 bought in 2006 (high end gaming lcd at the time) and the difference is astounding. NO dead pixels, no noticeable bleeding on the edges. The included 3D glasses are Vision 1, and while they will make you smile the first time you look through them, a pair of Vision 2 glasses make it even better. In my opinion the 3D is much more enjoyable when viewing a movie rather than gaming. Most games do look "cool" in 3D, but unless the game you're playing has specific 3D setting to make the best of it, it really doesn't bring anything to the table or give you an advantage.

Cons: None that I've found so far.

Overall Review: I've been buying, building, and selling with ASUS since 1998, never gotten a bad part. The people that do must be extremely unlucky.

Excellent Best $$$ For any Cooler

Pros: Cools AMAZINGLY, Outstanding build quality, Great Looks, Light for its size, easy to mount. Have this on an i7 2700k w/ arctic silver 5 running at 4.4ghz without breaking a sweat. Ive tried and tried to work this thing out but the very highest CPU temp I've seen yet at my clock speeds has been 43*c. That was while running several different virus/adware programs, encoding mp3's with itunes, playing a movie, and Diablo 3 SIMULTANEOUSLY. Fan never went over 30% load. To make this fact even sweeter, I don't even have a graphics card installed yet!!!! Board is an ASUS p8z77-v Deluxe. Note that if you plug this into the cpu_fan connector you will get a cpu fan error on BIOS boot due to the fan being so large and slow to spool up that it is not spinning at the MB's minimum pass speed at the time of the check. Simply change the min speed in the bios from 600rpm to 500rpm to solve this. Easy Peasy.

Cons: None for me.
