Great Monitor - Better Company

Had two of these monitors over two years and have ZERO complaints. One suddenly died and I though I was out of luck. Called Samsung and found out the display was under warranty for 3 YEARS. Sent prepaid shipping label and expect to have my new one by...

Excellent Customer Service

I've had this monitor for about 16 months. It has been flawless the entire time. Sharp crisp text and colors. The "odd" resolution works great for my tired eyes. I am not a gamer nor do I watch movies on my monitor so I cannot address that. A week...

Logitech Wins Again

First, I must admit I've been a Logitech fan for over 25 years, so I naturally looked to them for a small, light weight mouse to use for my laptop (I despise touch pads). I purchased and used 2 Microsoft and 1 other Logitech before settling on the...

Excellent Cordless mouse

My wife wanted a wireless mouse for her laptop for Christmas and this is the one I got her. It would be nice if all products worked a flawless as this one. We haven't replaced the battery since last Christmas and the mouse hasn't skipped a beat!...

wokred for onw day only

It worked the first day, then the laser quit. The wheel and finger pads work, but I can't navigate. New batteries, checked drivers, etc. but no reference to this situation. Darn.
