HotHardware.com posted a review on the Asus VG236H 120Hz LCD Monitor

There is a big push for various 3D technologies in the current market. Whether you're a fan or foe, the industry is pushing forward with 3D at a torrid pace. Recently, we had a chance to test 3D Vision Surround from NVIDIA and came away impressed by the experience. It was only a matter of time before we got our hands on more hardware featuring the technology though, and Asus stepped up to the plate without missing a beat.

Today, we're checking out the latest 3D capable monitor to hit the market, the Asus VG236H. The VG236H display from Asus is a 23" widescreen panel that features a 120Hz refresh rate, 1920 x 1080 resolution, and an NVIDIA 3D Vision kit...

While once elusive toys of the rich, NAS systems are becoming more popular, especially as prices drop and people become more aware of the benefits they bring.

The increasingly large Micro Four Thirds (Micro 4/3) camera community has received a new representative.

ASUS Rampage III GENE Motherboard Review
Vortez.co.uk posted a review on the ASUS Rampage III GENE Motherboard

Today, we have the successor to the Rampage II Gene, the aptly named Rampage III Gene. As with the Rampage III Extreme we reviewed earlier this year, the Gene is an evolution of ASUS's flagship platform. One of the caveats of the Extreme was its size, which at 1inch wider, potentially created compatibility problems but the Gene manages to pack most of the features from its bigger brother into its smaller dimensions. As such, unique ASUS features such as Probelt, COP EX and other ROG capabilities are present. We can also expect to see SATA 6Gb/s and USB 3.0 implementation thanks to the Marvell and NEC controller chips. More notably, the ASUS SupremeFX X-Fi 2 onboard sound makes a comeback. For the hardcore enthusiasts, the LN2 specific modifications have been given a miss but the ROG connect feature has been integrated for remote overclocking. The board may not cater to overclockers like the Extreme does but at its price point, the Gene promises to deliver excellent performance and a feature rich experience to even compete with other full sized ATX motherboard.

Legit Reviews takes a look at the Western Digital TV Live Plus Media Player with Netflix Streaming

WD recently launched the TV Live Plus HD media player, which makes it easy for Netflix members to instantly watch thousands of TV episodes and movies on the biggest screen in their home from their HD television set. The new Netflix interface enables members to browse and add movies to their instant Queue on the Netflix Website right from their TV.

Thermaltake FRIO CPU/Processor Cooler Review
Tweaknews posted Thermaltake FRIO CPU/Processor Cooler Review

At first I was very skeptical about the Frio. Having had a few Thermaltake products before and being left slightly unimpressed by them I hoped the Frio wouldn't be the same. To my delight and surprise this particular cooler turned out to be a monster. With 2 included fans and build quality to rival even the best cooling solution manufacturers, the Frio is easily one of the top air coolers to consider out there today which is no easy feat to say the least!

Jitterbug J Cell Phone Review
Hardware Secrets posted a review on the Jitterbug J Cell Phone

Review of the Jitterbug J cell phone, the new version of the cell phone for people that don't like or are intimidated by cell phones.

The intense competition in the cell phone industry has manufacturers constantly adding new features. This wealth of features may make phones a little smarter, but it often makes them more complex to use. So in this atmosphere of competition and increased functionality, it is refreshing to see a cell phone that chucks the "smart" features to focus on basic features and ease-of-use. The Jitterbug cell phone is just that: a simple phone that is easy to use.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 Graphics Card Review
iXBT Labs posted a review on the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 Graphics Card

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 768MB is quite a success, considering the recommended price. It outperforms the cheaper AMD Radeon HD 5770 and performs on a par with (and in some tests outperforms) the similarly priced AMD Radeon HD 5830. Fast tesselation, the advantage of the Fermi architecture, remains in this product as well.
