Perfect product!
Pros: The last few weeks, my computers have been trying to drive me crazy. My mother says that is not a drive - just a short putt. Finally, something was simple and easy and worked perfectly the first time. I followed the instructions and turned off my cable modem, connected the router to the modem and the computer, plugged in the new TRENDnet router, then the modem, clicked on the LAN icon and ran repair, it was back in business. Then I connected the Squeezebox radio, and it works. Then I connected my wireless access point and it works. Then the second computer and it works. I wish everything were this simple.
Cons: None, this is a perfect product
Won't recognize drives
Pros: This is great for backing up files to an empty hard drive
Cons: I have never been able to get it to recognize a drive that wasn't formatted in the docking station itself. That makes it useless for reading drives that I removed from my computer with data already on them. Thermaltake support tried to help, but they couldn't find a solution. This happened on 2 computer - a regular Windows XP Pro, and a Windows XP Pro 64 bit system.
5 years and still working great
Pros: Good image, solid performance, looks as good today as when I got it back in 2016.
Cons: I wish the stand would go lower. I am replacing it with a monitor that is closer to the desk.
Overall Review: If you don't mind it being 3 inches above desk height, this is a great monitor
Works perfectly
Pros: Works great, just as good as my hdmi to hdmi cable. I only have 1 hdmi port on my computer, this cable freed it up so I can run an hdmi cable to my teevee set.
Cons: No problems at all. I just plugged it in, and within a few seconds the picture was on the computer monitor, just like before.
Great bargain
Pros: I love these speakers. I've had a set for 3 or 4 years, they are on 24/7 and still sound great. Just bought another set. The sound is decent, and they are plenty loud to fill a room.
Cons: As others have mentioned, the volume control is a bit sensitive, but it doesn't take long to get used to it.
Overall Review: I haven't found anything else as good for the price.
It is bright, and it works
Pros: It is bright and handy and easy to use. Like one of the NewEgg reviewers said, you have to open it up and remove a tiny piece of plastic from one of the battery terminals so that the lights will come on. Two tiny little screws hold the cover on. Even if you lose one (which I did) the other one seems to hold the cover okay.
Cons: No instructions, they don't tell you that it won't come on until you open it up and remove a little piece of plastic from one of the battery terminals. I bought 2 units, and had to do that on both.
Overall Review: The wonder NewEgg Reviewers are one of the best reasons to shop at The Egg. I am glad that I recalled the review that mentioned the little piece of plastic that had to be removed. Thanks folks!
