This monitor is brilliant for color-matching, anti-glare, easy on the eyes. (IPS PANEL) However, it's easy to get a bad color gradient. And also, they do go bad eventually...

This Ergo media keyboard is beautiful, and saves my wrists so I can do stuff like type this sentence. Obviously I have the mac version, so all the media keys work right, and I don't have a windows key.

I actually have the UIA-11 model, the URM-15T, is even closer to it than this one. But there's hardley a difference. It's great. Itune's mode is okay, but I would like to program it to hit the universal sound volume, not just the iTunes volume in iTunes mode... they don't update their software very often unfortunately, so beware, if it doesn't work...

These are easily some of the best 2.1's available... apparently this is still true... so, if you're shopping for HIGH END 2.1's, these come highly recommended. They thump real nice. The additional volume nob on the desk, with headphone jack, AND sub-woofer adjustment, is SOOOO excellent.

Be sure to attach this to your monitor, and print out some patterns for each kind of paper you want to use. I would only recommend this if you have both 1) A wide gamut monitor, or an IPS based monitor 2) a high quality printer that actually has a decent color range.

Not bad for some 8.5/11. Fine for 4/6's. But seriously... Nowhere near the higher end stuff. This printer is really weak on REDS. It has a weak spectrum, so that means, stuff often comes out the wrong color at that end, and also more stuff is more red than should be. But the probably the best entry level printer (replaced by 6700D).

This is easily the best usb hub I have ever used. bar none. only one issue, the light stays on even if the upstream usb isn't transmitting. This means there is a little green light as long as it is plugged-in to power, even if the COMPUTER IS TURNED OFF. Other than that... I wouldn't buy anything else.
