Asus MG28UQ 28-inch Ultra HD FreeSync Gaming Monitor Review

Asus MG-series has always represented a solid value alternative to its premium ROG products. Today we’re looking at the MG28UQ, a 28-inch Ultra HD monitor with FreeSync. The road to affordable Ultra HD gaming has been a long one. Maybe we aren’t there yet, but we’re getting close. Three years ago the big hurdle was astronomical monitor prices. 32-inch screens for $3000 just didn’t compute for most of us. And none of them were really suitable for gaming. Where was the blur reduction? Where was the adaptive refresh? Where will I find another $1000 for a faster video card?

BlackVue DR650S-2CH Dashcam

At a recent press event I was introduced to BlackVue, and I have to admit that previously they were not on my radar. After speaking with them about their product it was obvious they are very passionate about their products... dashcams. BlackVue is made by Pittasoft, a Korean company, which started making dashcams back in 2007. They have since been on the forefront of technology with full HD cams, 2 channel cams, IR cams, and cloud services. While checking out their product I thought of the many times I could have used something like this so when the opportunity came up to review a BlackVue DR650S-2CH with Power Magic Pro I jumped on it.

How to Watch Netflix with Friends Anywhere (and No, It's Not Illegal to Share Your Password)

Netflixing alone can get lonely, so can we combine the best of both worlds? Yes, by watching the same Netflix program together in different places. Win, win, my friends. But it's not the most clear cut thing to achieve.

ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1080 AMP! Extreme Review

We move on-wards to the next 1080 review, meet the all custom, cooled and tweaked higher ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1080 AMP! Extreme Edition. Let's check out the new 8 GB beast with that massive three slot cooler, extra RGB LED functionality and very hip'n trendy clock frequencies. The GPU industry has been on hold, waiting for a smaller GPU fabrication process to become viable. Last generation GPUs were based on a 28 nm fabrication, an intermediate move to 20 nm was supposed to be the answer for today’s GPUs, but it was a problematic technology. Aside from some smaller ASICs the 20 nm node has been a fail. Therefore the industry had to wait until an ever newer and smaller fabrication process was available in order to shrink the die which allows for less voltage usage in the chips, less transistor gate leakage and, obviously, more transistors in a GPU. The answer was to be found in the recent 14/15/16 nm fabrication processors and processes with the now all too familiar FinFET + VLSI technology (basically wings on a transistor). Intel has been using it for a while, and now both Nvidia and AMD are moving towards such nodes as well. Nvidia is the first to announce their new products based on a TSMC 16 nm process fab by introducing Pascal GPU architecture, named after the mathematician much like Kepler, Maxwell and Fermi. That stage has now passed, the GeForce GTX 1070 and 1080 have been announced with the 1070 and 1080 cards slowly becoming available in stores as we speak. Both models are equally impressive in its product positioning, though I do feel the 1070 will be the more attractive product due to its price level, the 1080 cards really is what everybody want (but perhaps can't afford). The good news though is that the board partner cards will offer SKUs for less opposed to the Nvidia reference / Founder edition cards. Obviously the higher-end all customized SKUs will likely level with that founders edition card price level again, but I am pretty certain you'd rather spend your money on a fully customized AIB card that is already factory tweaked a bit opposed the the reference one. So merely a few weeks after launch, I think this is our 6th Geforce GTX 1080 review already ?

Today we test the ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1080 AMP! Extreme Edition model. A product with a massive cooler, very higher clock speeds and a backplate with LED lit logo. The graphics card has pretty significant clock frequencies of 1911 MHz (boost) / 1772 (base) MHz. The GDDR5X memory has been tweaked as well as it is running 10.8 GHz (effective data-rate). The ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1080 AMP! Extreme has a triple-slot design with triple-fan cooling solution, and dual 8-pin PCIe power connectors, and a nice factory-overclock. The ZOTAC GTX 1080 cards feature the following: IceStorm Fans with ExoArmor, PowerBoost, FREEZE and Spectra LED lighting. Right, we have enough to talk about and to show, let's head on-wards in the review. But first let me allow you a sneek peek at da AMP! Extreme.

ZTE Axon 7 Review

Our ZTE Axon 7 review now includes final benchmarks and a recommended badge due to its design, specs and performance at a reasonable price. ZTE Axon 7 is a new Android phone with a sleek design, powerful specs and a reasonable price that challenges the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 and rumored iPhone 7 in its dual SIM, unlocked form.That explains the confusing name of this successor to the ZTE Axon Pro (ZTE Axon Elite in the UK), which has skipped right over the ZTE Axon 2 through ZTE Axon 6 in between last year and now.The Chinese phone maker is ambitiously trying to compete with the flagship manufacturers from the US and South Korea, so much so that it designed the phone outside of China - right in the US.What we end up with is an Android Marshmallow smartphone with a polished metal design, 2K display, front-facing speakers, and software customizations often found in a more expensive handset.
