As a self confessed computer nerd bird I have always been fascinated with computer graphics and in that vein, by default, that extends to what you are playing on. I've always considered ASUS a top brand in my book, up there with Corsair and EVGA. There is a reason for that, cutting edge tech backed with superb support and industry wide acceptance and support in each and every project.
This monitor, although my first ASUS, is not my first ASUS product, of which there are many. I tend to either get EVGA or ASUS for my graphic cards and so it would stand to reason that getting one for my monitor is not beyond the pale. This monitor is easy to setup, completely tool less and fast, we are talking only maybe 5 mintues in total.
Now once it's setup and you head to the actual use part, well things only continue to do quite well and that is to be expected, I think, considering the brand. I fired this up with my second PC in order to try it out and that consisted of a lot of games. The actual setup of the issue is made easier with the fact that I also, coincidentally have an ASUS Gefoce RTX 3070 Tuf video card, which is ideal considering this is same manufacturer and same line. But really this monitor is going to work for anyone so perhaps not a big deal but rather a timely coincidence.
Now how does it function?
Well amazing! It plays everything out of the box, no adjustments, pretty well. I'm not a professional when it comes to color calibration and such but it looks really good to me and it does give you several options to choose from (I believe I chose VIVID) and of course those with an eye for this can go ahead and customize it the way that they see fit. Windows 11 recognized it right away and installed the drivers for it and I was able to change the overclock for Hz to maximum in the Nvidia Control Panel without any issue.
Games run flawless, Windows looks amazing, the actual joystick control given is also something you usually only see on high end monitors so I am very impressed with this monitor and will be using it on my second PC that my wife uses to game on. GREAT VALUE!

A really great toothbrush for a great value!

I've been through a lot of different toothbrushes through the years and all make a lot of promises but this one does seem like it lives up to what it promises. First of all unpacking it is really nice. It almost feels like an Apple product in simplicity and elegancy. There's not a lot in the box but it's all presented really nicely. Setting it up required no instructions, pretty self exclamatory. You get one really nice all black charcoal toothbrush head. It says it holds a charge for a month and I 'm not so sure it'll last that long but so far so good as its been a couple of weeks and it's still chugging along.
In use it provides a very strong brush, a sign of a good quality toothbrush. Yes you can make it less intense if you desire. I have bought or received more expensive toothbrushes than this in the past so this toothbrush really is an excellent value and I cannot recommend it enough.
BTW Love the all black look, really looks unique. Only criticism is the cord is extremely short. But then if you can charge it once and move it to where you want it I don't see it's much of a drawback.

Monitors have come a long, long way from back in the day of the big, old 21" Viewsonic I used to own in 2001. This monitor is very lightweight and has a small bezel, giving a very good picture out of the box and an even better one if you take a little time to adjust and play with the settings. This thing is really packed in well when you open it up and it's excellent to get it all screwed together (you'll need a small Phillips head screwdriver). Putting it together is easy, basically you put the base on and screw in six screws to it, put the cover over the end, route your cables through the back side and you're ready to rock.
Booting it up, yes you see that big ol' blue splashscreen for a brief moment and no I don't think you can disable it (although perhaps something to hope for in a firmware update perhaps?) but it's up and gone in a split second so no worries. Once into Windows 11 everything worked without installing any drivers and the picture was nice. Its set to be fairly bright and so I adjusted it slightly (I'm in a dark room) and after a few minutes of fiddling with the settings I got it up and going.
Nvidia Geforce did recognize the Freesync aspect and I was able to set it to 165Hz, which my Geforce RTX 3070 was able to handle with aplomb. All in all the picture is very good for the price and I think this monitor will do a lot of good for those on a budget...and with the cost of graphics cards today most of us do find ourselves cutting costs a little here and there.
I am using this as my secondary monitor on my secondary PC in a different room from my main PC, which has a 38" Alienware (which of course this monitor cannot compete with but then the Alienware did cost me about 3 to 4 times as much so...). I have been playing games on it such as The Division 2, Doom Eternal, Call of Duty Vanguard and Diablo 3 and never have noticed any ghosting or artifacts of any kind. The bezel could be slightly thinner is about my only real issue and that's a minor one I think.
All in all this is an EXCELLENT value monitor and will make a lot of folks happy who buy it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

As fast as it gets..this ones a BURNER

This drive came right around the time I was building my new Gen4 PC. I am using an ASUS Rog Strix Z690 and yes it does support the PCIe Gen 4.0 standard. Installing this drive was as easy as anything since the ASUS Z690 has eliminated the horrible, horrible, horrible m2 screw. After five minutes or so I was booting up for the first time. Installing Windows 11 from my USB onto the 980 was quick and easy. Once I got into Windows 11 I used Crystalmark to bench the drive and it came in right around 6700-6750 write speed, which is just what I was hoping it would. My other drives are Gen 3 and thus all are about twice as slow at about 3000 write speed.
Using this now for about a week and wow, its very fast, boot time is pretty non-existent and so far no heating issues whatsoever (which you definitely want to avoid due to throttling means decreased speeds). All in all I am so happy with this drive I will likely buy another, this time a 2Tb one! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

I use this every day!! FANTASTIC!

I got this as I've got to get hip replacement surgery soon and my hip, and back, are both quite painful. Heating up that area seems to help. I really didn't need the weighted function but my wife may use it when she lies down and lies it on her back. The vibration at the lowest setting is very quiet, move it up to medium or high though and it's going to be a little bit of noise so be aware. I usually just run mine on low vibration and high heat.
And boy does the high heat work wonders. I can't recommend it enough, especially for back issues and/or hip issues. I take a tylenol and use this and it's almost as if my hip and back issues are gone for a while.
So I cannot say this strongly enough, this is a must buy if you're looking at heating pads, especially if you want a weighted heating pad (and yes it is heavy but nothing crazy). The cord is also pretty darned long too so you' won't be hunting for an extension cord.
I can't imagine life without this thing. I'm sure I'll use it less once I get my hip replaced but for now I"m just enjoying the heck out of it!

Really powerful, and (mostly) easy to learn!

I am a 53 year old artist who really hasn't done much art since high school but I love messing around with programs like this and creating something new out of something pretty basic. This program is easy to get started, yes there's a ton of options but you can play with them and always undo. I spent a few hours with this when I first booted it up and I had a ton of fun.
The help section is pretty good and the emails I sent to Adobe were responded to promptly and with friendliness. The support seems to be very good from my experience.
I am not using this professionally but I imagine a lot of folks are like me and would enjoy this whether its for professional use or artists like myself who just want to create and modify pictures. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I am totally into Corsairs eco system but I've been on the fence a while about adding some of the "extra" things such as these lights. Well I can advise anyone now that I've had them that you are ok to buy these, you will be happy with them.
Installation is easy and fast, even in iCue. Then the lights themselves are larger than you'd think, they are diffused so you don't see individual rgb lights and they really work great to give you the effects you desire, thanks to having so many actual LEDs in each tower.
My only issue is I waited this long, these things rock. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO ALL!!

I'm always looking to increase the speed and space of all my computers anytime that I can. My Lenovo laptop is a great laptop for gaming except it only came with a 256Gb SSD Hard drive. However, it does have a space for a 2280 (full size) SSD and that's where I planned to install this. Taking apart my laptop clam shell was the most difficult aspect of this whole thing. Once I did that it was easy though, simply inserting the drive (which in fact does resemble a stick of gum like they say) and then screw it down with an .m2 screw.
NOTE: This drive does NOT include an M2 screw so if you don't have one on your motherboard (some do) in the spot where you're installing then you'll need to order one of those to go with this, otherwise you won't be able to get it to sit down into the slot.
Once I got it installed I rebooted up my laptop and used the Windows 11 disk management tool to partition and format. I spent the next few hours installing Steam games and running them and everything was extremely fast. I did do a Crystalmark but apparently I didn't save it as I cannot now find it but the drive was very fast I recall when comparing it to my other SSDs on my desktop.
As for the Battlefield code, please don't be like me and not read the instructions and try to activate it! I couldn't get the code to work until finally after re-reading the instructions I realized I was doing it totally wrong. Once I read the instructions I got the code in and it worked to get the game to come up. Of course the games not out yet so I couldn't test it but at least I know the code does work.
All in all this one is a heck of a deal. It's easy to install, is insane fast and comes with one of the best games of 2021! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED (TO ALL YOU PC GAMERS ESPECIALLY!)

Now this is one killer fire pit folks! WOW!
on September 24, 2021
Posted by: Shaunh20
from Marysville, OH
This thing looks really killer in the pictures and I was even more wowed once I took it out of the box. It really reminds me of a 1950's racing car or something for some reason, it just has that look and design of metal and coolness. I know you don't really have to have a "cool" looking fire pit but you know what? It sure doesn't hurt either. Now this thing is also very, very big inside, even bigger than you would think. Taking it out of the box is easy using the handhel metal bar piece that you use to carry it around (for example when you're done for the night and want to move it to the garage).
Setting it up was about as easy as it came, with you just taking the carry bar off (no screwdriver needed, it just pushes inward to release) and then removing the smaller base from the interior of the large base and setting the large piece into the smaller base. Voila! That's it. Nothing else to do and ready to get going.
Once you do light it up be prepared to be wowed even more as the Fahrenheit on the side comes to life. It does a great job of whisking away the smoke, I am still not sure how it does it to be honest but apparently the design of all the holes and their placement allows for air flow to go...well somewhere other than you, heh.
We have only used this thing one time just to test it but my wife and I already plan to use this quite a bit this fall when it gets colder. Heck, I've already invited several of my friends and co-workers to come over and check it out and honestly I cannot wait until they see it in action. DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED, YOU NEED THIS!!

A solid addition to a home security system
on September 24, 2021
Posted by: Shaunh20
from Marysville, OH
Installation was easy but I did have my handyman do it. I followed along with him though and in hindsight I think I could have done it myself. Having the base be magnetic helps you to mount it without any issue if you can find a place for it. The overall camera presents a very good image, although not 4K. I will mention that I had no problems pairing the camera to my iPhone X S. Now listen up folks, this does require a subscription to capture events, otherwise you are just going to get a notification and then go to a live camera feed, but the good news is the subscription is inexpensive. I did spend some time configuring it and setting it up so I wouldn't get too many notifications, something a lot of us with many cameras know can be a real problem and so far it seems to be doing a good job of not spamming me.
So far for my wife and I we feel adding this camera has gone pretty well. I think the camera is an excellent addition to my repertoire of security cameras and it's nice to finally fill that gap (prior to this I had no camera in or around the garage). RECOMMENDED!

Anyone know if the heatsink is easily removable in case I want to use it in a gaming laptop? I am not sure this will fit my laptop 2nd bay, Asus ROG m16 SSD slot. Thanks!
I don't imagine it would be that difficult to remove, however, I have read that in doing so you will invalidate your warranty. I'd look for a similar drive without a heatsink.
