I love it when they write 'click for larger photo' and that photo is the same size, lol.
Yeah, me too! Sometimes smaller than the original, as
madstabber mentioned above & I don't have a smartphone, looking on a 4K 28" monitor & have to inflate the pic by adjusting the browser's zoom option. The downside to that is that the pic then becomes blurry the more the zoom is expanded.
I'll always go the OEM site, as
r77r7r stated above, one will often get the detailed tech specs of the RBA, just not enough pics every time. Most times yes, always, no. If the OEM knows a large percentage of consumers are leaving negative reviews/feedback with 3rd party re-sellers (or their own) over the same design flaw, that pic will be conveniently 'left out'. They want the (potential) customer to see the RBA the way they do, perfect engineering & design. Nothing more. From a business standpoint, I can understand this, on the other hand, one bad purchase from an OEM may well overshadow several good ones, especially if the customer isn't locked into one brand for everything. Being honest with with pics from every angle will likely bring that same customer back to try another RBA in the future, we're more likely to chalk it up
as us not doing
our homework.
That's again another reason why when I'm considering these products, will check out several sites, in particular those that reviews the RBA & at least a couple of YouTube video builds by those of high reputation. The unbiased ones (those I prefer) tend to point out the good, bad & ugly of every RBA (or other hardware) on the market. Through the University of Hard Knocks, learned that seeing a couple of detailed builds & live reviews before purchase is a 'must do' before impulsively whipping out the plastic to purchase.
