    Hey Guys/Girls!

    Posted these in the owner's thread, but wanted to start a separate thread as well to keep track of experiences and answer questions. I won't repost the pics as they were pretty massive, but here are some starter vids for ya:

    Unboxing (apologize for shakiness, was at parents house when I opened it so no tripod):



    Quick Cine (lowest brightness for camera, and horrible focus, I'm a noob):



    I uploaded both over WiFi, and it was speedy, even on my parents G, so no lag issues it looks like.

    More videos INCOMING!

    Plan to add some game-play, performance, sound, etc. when I have the time.

    Thanks a ton for doing this!

    Have you had enough play time to comment on any ghosting/smearing?

    So I've only had time to play some League of Legends and Diablo 3, and so far I haven't noticed any. It may be because those games aren't all that demanding, or maybe because I just tend not to game on amazing monitors. I mean I do have 2 24" 1080p Asus monitors and a 27" 1440 Monoprice at home, but they're all probably running at the stock 60 Hz, so I may just be used to it.

    Loving the screen and the noise isn't that noticeable, even with speakers off. Then again I'm used to big gaming laptops, so it seems like nothing compared to those.
