fun gadget
Pros: This is the only GPS I have owned so I do not know what to compare it to. I do know it exceeded my expectations, is very easy to set-up. Works even when it is cloudy outside. Very easy to set-up. fun features I was not expecting. Good battery life (> 12 hours without being recharged).
Cons: None yet.
Pros: ease of use
Cons: I am using this with a desktop pc running xp sp3. The extension cable is right on the fringe of enough signal boost to overcome the extra length. Windows can see the device I plug in the other end but after 10-60 seconds the device dissappears, and then moments later reappears.
Not Gold
Pros: Although after you receive it, the packaging clearly states on the box the game requires X BOX Live Gold membership, Newegg does a poor job of letting customers know about this. The game has no campaign mode and requires at least 2 persons to be playable. I give it 3 stars because I imagine it's pretty fun if you actually get past the top menu whilecl waiting on another player to join.
Cons: Can't play it alone.
Pros: Although only 720P vs 1080P the picture is amazingly crisp and sharp. I have it ceiling mounted about 14' back and get an 8' wide picture. It is whisper quiet. I did have to replace the lamp after about 14 months which was well over 2000 hours of use. Replacemant lamp was around $300.00 but fairly ewasy to install. The screen (in the bundle deal) has sort of a "cheap" feel to it, but once mounted and stretched looks very professional.
Cons: Not free.
Overall Review: Great for gaming, movies, presentations...and usually cheaper than a new plasma or lcd tv.
Great Lamp!!
Pros: For train lovers this is the coolest lamp in the world. Perfect features let you disable the train sounds if you so desire. Very sturdy, durable.
Cons: Would be kind of cool if they incorporated a remote control, but still a wonderful lamp.
Overall Review: I don't know how anyone could be disappointed in such a great lamp.
Superb Value
Pros: NO trace effect you hear about on some LCD's. Mulitple inputs RCA, Component, S-video, Coax, Composite, HDMI. The blacks look just as good to me as my neighbor's plasma.
Cons: Speakers are average, but for a TV this nice most people would have it hooked to an independent surround system.
Overall Review: They have multiple (3) HDMI inputs on the back, wish they had one on the side like they do the S-video and RCA for easier access if this TV is wall mounted.
