The bundle is a major letdown due to monitor issues: one buyer received VGA monitors instead of the advertised HDMI, another got broken monitors replaced with inferior VGA ones, and a third had a monitor that stopped working after a resolution change. The PC itself is praised for its configuration and performance, but the monitor problems and misleading descriptions overshadow the positives. Overall, buyers are dissatisfied and warn against purchasing from this seller.
Pros
- Good PC configuration
- Impressive performance
- Well-packaged shipment
Cons
- Monitors not as advertised
- Broken monitors on arrival
- Poor quality replacement monitors
- Incompatible ports (VGA vs HDMI)
- Monitor stops working after resolution change
