Nice Cheap TV

LCD HDTV
LCD HDTV

Pros: No complaints on this TV. It was inexpensive, easy to set up and has a nice picture.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: I bought 2 for the kids’ bedrooms and both arrived fast and in perfect condition. Newegg is about the fastest shipping of all the online retailers.

Most Critical Review

Cameral ok, everything else NO

Zmodo ZM-SH721 RJ45 720P HD Mini Wifi Network IP Camera w/Audio
Zmodo ZM-SH721 RJ45 720P HD Mini Wifi Network IP Camera w/Audio

Pros: The camera itself is very clear with good resolution. It can record to an internal micro SD Card. It looks nice.

Cons: No instructions for use. PC and phone apps for viewing or setting up camera are terrible. No way to turn off night vision LEDs.

Overall Review: I have a couple other lower end D-Link cameras that I am happy with but I wanted something that could also record video. The on board micro SD card recording seemed perfect for my needs. While the camera is very easy to do a basic set up where you can get a picture on the Zsight app, that is where the easy part ends and the confusion begins. Other than the quick set up guide to connect the camera to your network, there are no further instructions included. Not a problem I thought as I can just download them online. WRONG. There are NO instructions for this camera online. I emailed customer support to ask where I could find instructions for the camera or an owners manual or maybe better instructions for the app and I was very disappointed with the response. Their response, "I apologize for the lack of proper manuals. I have contacted our Usability Folks and am trying to see if they can get some kind of updated manuals available for your camera and for the latest ZViewer but so far we do not have them." Who sells a product they do not have an owner's manual or instructions for? I spent way too much time trying to figure it out on my own. I was able to get the camera to do most of what I wanted it to do but there is no way I would recommend this product. If you are considering this camera I would look at another brand and avoid this one.

Good Low Power Graphics Card

ZOTAC GeForce GT 720 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x8 Low Profile Ready Video Card ZT-71202-20L
ZOTAC GeForce GT 720 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x8 Low Profile Ready Video Card ZT-71202-20L

Pros: Easy Installation Low Power Requirements Low Heat Good Card for Video Streaming and Photo Editing

Cons: None

Overall Review: I am not a gamer so I cannot comment on the gaming aspects of this card but for videos/photos it does a good job and does it with little power or heat. I had some strange readings when I checked it on GPUz so I emailed Zotac support. They were quick to respond and gave me the answer I needed.(Thanks Dan!) It was not an issue with card but instead with the older version of GPUz I was running. A good graphics card with great support.

Works for intended purpose

Kodak UC-200 Essential Universal Li-Ion Battery Charger
Kodak UC-200 Essential Universal Li-Ion Battery Charger

Pros: It works well enough for a camera battery charger.

Cons: Only for small batteries.

Overall Review: It worked well enough to charge my extra camera battery. I was hoping it would also charge my phone battery but it was too larger to fit in the charger. For a small camera battery it is fine but will not allow anything much larger.

Great Head Lamp

Cree Sensor + Adv XP-C Super Bright LED Head Lamp
Cree Sensor + Adv XP-C Super Bright LED Head Lamp

Pros: Light output is good. Buttons and focus adjustment are simple and easy to use. The motion sensing on/off is great for dirty hands.

Cons: None that I have found so far.

Overall Review: This is a great head lamp. I am a night owl so I often find myself working on things after dark and this light makes that much easier.

Nice Receiver but only ok speakers

YAMAHA YHT-397BL Home Theater System
YAMAHA YHT-397BL Home Theater System

Pros: Nice Yamaha Receiver with good features and plenty of power for a base receiver. I have an almost identical model I have had a little over a year and I still like it as well.

Cons: The speakers are only ok. There is no auto on/off on the sub. It has to be turned on and off manually.

Overall Review: When I first set it up I was a little disappointed in the sound and was not sure if it was the receiver or the speakers. I have almost the same receiver in another room with Polk speakers so I borrowed a couple of those speakers to try it out and the system sounded great! It’s not that the Yamaha speakers are bad, just do not expect them to sound like higher end speakers. They were cheap and represent a good value for what they cost.
