Fantastic 1080p/144Hz monitor
on December 9, 2020
Posted by: Mark
Verified Purchase:Yes
Pros:
- 144 Hz/1080p/IPS/FreeSync at a reasonable price
- Excellent colors out of the box without much calibration
- Great viewing angles
- Solid, well-built stand that allows for height adjustment and portrait mode
- Built-in speakers should you need them
- Zero dead pixels on my monitor
Cons:
- Backlight bleed in the top-right corner, although it's never noticeable during games or everyday use
- Speakers aren't that great but I wasn't expecting them to be, so this is very minor IMO
All in all a terrific monitor and one of the best upgrades I've made in the last five years. 144Hz is a game changer not just in games but also in every day use.

Solid no-frills Z490 board
on December 8, 2020
Posted by: Mark
Verified Purchase:Yes
Pros:
- Good build quality
- Fairly large heatsinks on VRMs
- Two PCIe 3.0x4 M.2 slots
- Included heatspreader for top M.2 drive
- No RGB (although this may be a con for others)
- BIOS is easy to use; lots of overclocking options
- Front-side USB-C
Cons:
- Lacking in rear USB (5 standard + 1 USB-C)
- Limited options for S3/S4/S5 sleep states in BIOS; As far as I can tell, there's no way to enable "Resume by USB Device" for just the S3 state and not the S5 state. So if you want your mouse or keyboard to be able to wake your PC from sleep mode, you also have to give them the power to turn on your PC from shut down (the USB ports retain limited power in S5). You can't have one without the other. This can be annoying if you don't want your PC accidentally turning on in the middle of the night after shutting it down.
All in all a solid motherboard. Started up first try and have had zero stability issues thus far.
