I needed a monitor for both light gaming (PS4) and general purpose use with a PC. I know this is a gaming monitor, and I couldn't try 144Hz mode, but it's still too bright and harsh for me. I took a couple days trying to calibrating it, trying every setting combination possible, but was unable to get an acceptable viewing experience. I exchanged it for a higher end 4k gaming monitor (almost $200 more) and found that to fit the bill nicely.

First, I purchased a less expensive, but still premium gaming monitor, but was unhappy with the viewing experience. I exchanged it for this monitor and am really happy with the results. The gamma on my video card had to be lowered a little to get the best picture, but other than that it was perfectly setup. Looks great and is very easy on the eyes, and the extra resolution is nice to have for working on the computer also.

Power your compatible Samsung device without cables or cords using this Samsung SMS EP-PG920IBUGUS wireless charger, which replenishes battery power in as little as 4 hours. Overload protection provides defense against damage.

I use this charger with the S7 edge with an Otterbox Symmetry case for overnight charging. Works perfectly so far. Very nice not to have to fumble around with the micro-USB plug to charge the phone. Just lay it gently on the charging pad and pick it up in the morning. I like that I can keep the wire for the charger neatly routed across the top of the nightstand and over the edge and it stays there because I don't have to fiddle with the wire or move the charger ever. Wife likes that part too.

I've had quite a few smart phones over the past 5 years, but this is by far the best. This may even be the best thing I've ever owned. Very high build quality. This is the issue that kept me away from the Samsung Galaxy line for the first few smart phones. My first phones were the HTC Inspire, M7 and M8. They were nicely built phones and really worked well, but the S7 Edge excels. Additionally, I love the size, display quality, way everything works, and of course the cool curved glass. Even the gimmicky edge ticker tape thing is interesting. I really like the always on display for time, date and battery status. It seems to use almost no battery and is really useful to me. I no longer have to pull the phone out and push a button to see the time. I find myself always glancing over at it when it's laying on the desk or somewhere. Seems like a minor thing, but a nice perk nonetheless. Also, the finger print scanner is really great for unlocking the phone and logging into some websites. Very fast and quite forgivable on finger position when it's setup right. I use it exclusively now whenever possible. The wireless charger is a very nice option too. Saves the USB port wear and tear (would have been nice to have USB Type-C too but the wireless charger makes up for it). Very convenient at night just to set it on the charger on the nightstand. Keeps the cord neatly tucked away too, since I don't have to fiddle with it to plug it in all the time. I really like the apps edge menu also. You just wake the phone and launch into whatever you have setup there without even going to the main screen or swiping or anything (depends on settings). Again seems like a small thing until you do it 100 times a day. Only drawback to the phone that I found is that the external speaker doesn't sound good. Although, I'm used to the dual front facing speakers of the HTC M7 and M8. No cell phone matches those models for external speaker sound quality, but that’s ok. I can live without that in exchange for all the great things the S7 Edge has to offer.

This HTC Dot View 34-2634-05-BB case offers front and back protection to help keep your HTC One (M8) cell phone safe. The interactive flip style allows you to access a wide range of features on your phone without opening the case.
Posted by: CareyB
Assuming it holds up for a long time, the case is really great. It's not much bigger than the phone without a case, which I really like. The sides of the phone are partially exposed, so you are actually using the phone's buttons rather than the case's buttons and get the advantage of touching the actual phone. If you really need a lot of protection, it's not good for that, since it's fairly slim. I wanted a small and light case that offered moderate protection, so it's perfect for me. The dot view is neat too. You can check the time and weather, control audio playback and hang up the phone etc, without opening the cover. You can even set it up for gesture initiated calling etc., but I think that will cause more pocket dialing, so I have that disabled. I did enable the double tap gesture so you can view the dot view display by double tapping on the cover. Also, you can talk on the phone with the cover closed, which keeps the glass from getting as dirty, and works perfectly. Overall, the glass is not getting as dirty now as with a standard case. When the cover is closed, the display shuts off right away, which is really nice to save battery. The flip cover does cause you to have to use two hands more often for reading etc., but not a big issue to me and is well worth it for the extra glass protection. The part of the case that holds the phone doesn't protrude beyond the face, so it's really easy to wipe the glass on your shirt or whatever to keep it clean. This is nice too. The front cover can be folded around back for one handed reading, but not completely flat because the back is rounded. This has not been a problem for me. It's worth it for the other positives with this case. I've had several different cases in the past (with this phone and others), but this is my favorite so far.

I actually meant to review the Asus 27" VG278HV. It's a little different. I can't figure out how to remove this review, so I copied it to VG278HV.
