This mouse replaced my aging Logitech G300 mouse. First steel series product and extremely happy with it. Braided usb cable is very attractive. LEDs on mouse can change brightness, alternate or able to turn them off with the steel series software (downloadable when you plug the device in)
Excellent purchase. soft texture exterior finish makes it very comfortable in the hand while in use.

Excellent TN Gaming Display
on June 17, 2016
Posted by: maz94protege
from Stafford, VA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Very beautiful, crisp and clean display. 1920x1080 is a must and standard for any user. Anything less is not enough desktop real estate IMO.
Daily use - 24", very easy on the eyes as ASUS has numerous settings for low blue light and eco modes to emit less harmful blue light in dark rooms/situations. Text is very clean and clear. the 1 millisecond (ms) keeps motion blur when scrolling through text, websites and videos to non-existant.
2 built in speakers do enough to keep clutter off the desk (speaker wise) i still use headphones when gaming. But the built in speakers are good enough for Skype and youtube videos
Gaming - 144hz refresh rate, and 1ms response time...cant get any better than this. Ive always played on 60hz monitors....but when you can actually FEEL over 60fps (60hz is capped at 60 fps, even if your monitor says its doing 75-100fps its capped at 60). Im using a R7 370 graphics card (not over kill or too powerful) and runs 144hz beautifully. When playing games like CS-GO, WOW or other FPS games, you can see the smoothness of more frames per second with a faster refresh rate.
Price is kinda steep for the every day computer user. I game ocasionally, but needed a bigger monitor and now i game MUCH more.
couldnt be happier. MSRP is 299, but for $250 its a bargin.
Note: You need DVI Dual Link (cable supplied) or Display Port (DP) connections to take advantage of 144hz, also need to change settings under your video card settings in windows to accomodate for 144hz, default is set to 60hz. HDMI is CAPPED AT 60HZ. Yes this monitor has a HDMI connection, but only use this for CONSOLE games. Your doing a disservice to yourself if you use HDMI for a PC and this monitor. any other 60hz monitor...HDMI would be fine.

Awesome, very nice addition for DOOM Fans
on June 10, 2016
Posted by: maz94protege
from Stafford, VA
Verified Purchase:Yes
DOOM, it says it all. Fight Like He11! This is nothing like previous Doom Games, Story mode doesn't really mean much, its kinda cool, but you gain more by just getting into the action killing, hacking and slashing and with melee kills you get extra health and armor. Hard to explain, but you just have to play it.
If you like Doom this is a must have, especially because the Collectors Edition comes with a very limited edition statue. The Statue has red less and a small fan on the bottom to flicker the lights and give it extra zaaaazzzzz.
If you never played doom, but like FPS games, its a great game to buy.

Excellent Game, Hours of Fun
on June 10, 2016
Posted by: maz94protege
from Stafford, VA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Excellent First Person Shooter (FPS). Brand new for Blizzard Software. If you like games which require strategy, teamwork and balanced classes, this game is it. If you stack your team (play with friends) you'll always dominate. Lots of different game modes, Unlock cool items in a Loot Box like stances, icons and voices.
Of course you can always just join a game and Run and Gun, but that wont really get you anywhere.
Leveling system is top notch.
Easy to start and stop and pick up where you left off. Highly recommend this game. The Collectors edition is excellent because it comes with a pimp Soldier 76 statue, art work book and some other cool swag. worth every penny.

Quality Product Good price to performance upgrade
on May 28, 2016
Posted by: maz94protege
from Stafford, VA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Big fan of RED (AMD) products. Been using their GPU's for years, from a 5750 to my current 6850 which was replaced by this R7 370. look at GPU BOSS.com You can compare the baseline of the cards to your current setup. Keep in mind, this specific XFX R7 370 is already slightly overclocked, which will provide better performance over a standard R7 370 by a different manufacturer.
Pros: Great looking card, DX12, Runs very quiet, energy efficient. XFX Lifetime warranty
Cons: @ $169.99 Id like the card to go for around $20 less. too many cards at this price range which could show to perform better. Even so, they still don't match XFX's warranty.

Surpurb Galaxy Phone
on May 26, 2016
Posted by: maz94protege
from Stafford, VA
Verified Purchase:Yes
After picking up the S7 Edge, I needed another phone to replace the aging iPhone 5C my wife had. The S7 was the ideal fit, better quality camera, Android 6.0 OS is very quick and smooth. I've owned numerous Galaxy phones, and this is one I can see holding onto for a long time. Past phones didn't pack the punch, quality and features. Water resistance, high quality screen and camera were the main focus points on why we purchased.

Boost your workspace with this powerful Dell 27-inch Ultra HD 4K monitor. Accurate color performance and 8 million high-contrast pixels make this versatile unit, which has a formidable 9mn response rate, ideal for graphics professionals and gamers. Enhanced with an anti-glare coating and equipped with an adaptable stand, this Dell 27-inch Ultra HD 4K monitor is an ergonomically sound choice.
 

can my xps 9000 with intel core 920 proccessor and ati radeon hd 5870 be enough to work this 4k monitor? any upgrades needed?

Your video card supports a max resolution of 2560x1600. You cannot run 4K with your video card. Your processor should have little effect if you upgrade to a newer generation video card. I'd strongly recommend staying at the 1080p range. To enjoy the 4k experience, you would need a faster processor and video card (basically an entirely new system) 4K in gaming can be very taxing on the components...not many games support 4k currently as well. If you just need screen/desktop space for internet surfing, music and office type applications, just upgrading the video card will help.

Look for a 1440p monitor if your just looking for a monitor upgrade. Ive added some monitors below for consideration for gaming.

charging cable

can I use the same charging cable that I use for the S3 for the S7
Yes Micro USB cables are all the same. Some 3rd party cables have bigger protection around the physical plug (place you hold while plugging in and unplugging). The only issue there is with cases, some cases need a thinner plug surround (like the Samsung branded cables). Other than that, they are all the same.

Can I buy the GSM Unlocked version of S7 without all the AT&T apps already installed?

I want to pay the full price for the GSM S7 but I don't want the AT&T bloatware. Is this possible? Amazon has the International version only.
No, you would have to buy the AT&T version at full price or when its paid off get it unlocked from AT&T. Fully unlocked from the factory devices are straight Samsung and Android installed apps. No carrier specific apps are on Unlocked devices.

Unlock

Can I unlock a unactivated device?
You could you need to contact the carrier the phone is branded under for instructions. Its better usually to just purchase the unlocked version so you don't have carrier specific applications on the device if you plan on never using that carrier.

Requirements

Now I have owned this since this past February and it turns out that my existing computer doesn't agree with it because of the mismatched performance so what is the best and most affordable computer/laptop that I should buy for this?
Did you get a new computer yet? Look for any Intel i7-2xxx processor or better (3xxx, 4xxx, 5xxx) wither it is MAC or PC, both work well with this HD60...as long as it has the CPU power. Minimal Ram is 8GB (my suggestion)


You could find a used laptop on local classifieds for a few hundred, or a Macbook Pro with i7 (late 2011) is what I'm using, could be bought for around $650 off a private owner. (I bought mine brand new back in the day)

Will a 1.6GHz Mac desktop support elgato game capture HD60?

Or do I need a higher GHz Mac desktop?
No, anything less than an intel i7, i wouldn't recommend it. The i5 1.6ghz is so low power it may/may not work correct. You can certainly try it and return the product if it doesn't work as you want.

Keep in mind, only capture at 720p and 30fps. anything higher is going to tax your computer too much. I used the HD60 on my Macbook Pro with an i7 2.2ghz, but was again only able to capture 720p @ 30fps....
