Outstanding performance

ASUS VK266H Black 25.5" HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor w/ Built in Speakers 300 cd/m2 1000:1 (ASCR 20000:1 ) w/ Component and SPDIF out Connector

Pros: No dead pixels. I wish I could sit farther back because this thing is big! Upgraded from a Samsung 2253BW 2ms and I must say it was worth it. The quality is comparable, but the resolution is better for sure with the VK266H. Good options for various viewing modes. I stared at my desktop for a good 15 minutes because it was so beautiful. Awesome selection of inputs. I didn't bother using HDMI since monitor speakers are garbage, unless of course you're using this for Xbox & co. Games look excellent-COD4, Dota, Natural Selection, Farcry2, Civ4. Web cam is pretty decent, obvious difference from 1.3Megapixel to 2.0. Uber fast shipping, arrived in 2 days

Cons: I too, noticed the slight flickering dashes when viewing a green or pinkish background. I switched out to a better quality DVI cable and it seemed to do the trick. Perhaps I had the lesser cables (included with monitor) connectors turned too tight. Either way, it's gone now. Might have something to do with it being a new monitor settling in for a life of goodness. Was a gamble buying this without any feedback, but Asus is solid and so is Newegg. Do it! Unless you're in debt, then be responsible and don't do it! Or wait for the next tax bonus. heh.

Overall Review: If you get a "LifeFrame2 works with ASUS Laptops only!" error when setting up the web cam, make sure the usb is connected and you might have to sift for drivers a bit. I went with the 490 drivers located in one of the sub folders and it worked on XP SP3. The monitor is about 4 inches deep. Not a problem unless you have a shallow desk. This thing begs to be wall mounted.

False Advertising

ABS Eurus Aqua Gaming PC - Windows 11 - Intel Core i9 14900KF - GeForce RTX 4080  Super - DLSS 3.5 - 32GB DDR5 6000MHz - 2TB M.2 NVMe SSD - EA14900KF4080S

Pros: Gigabyte GPU I guess...

Cons: -Very slow shipping -Completely different components -Sub par companies -The CPU cooler was air cooled instead of liquid as advertised -Poor costumer service/no response from ABS

Overall Review: Except the case, every component was different than those listed on the product page. No response from ABS when directly contacting them via email and phone. Newegg Chat bot not great with this type of issue. Would definitely rather get a legitimate replacement sent out instead of returning, but I don't have that option.
