Most Favorable Review

Great for everything

42" HD Display
42" HD Display

Pros: All in one monitor. My computer, Cable and Games are all on this one. Screen has much better resolution than expected for computing. Games don't lag like DLP. Best price for what you get.

Cons: Really would like more HDMI input. Remote is pretty bad. Display options are fairly limited. Sometimes red looks funny but maybe there is a fix for this.

Overall Review: I bought this and the Samsung 42 DLP at the same time and use both frequently. Although the Samsung at the same price has better features (pretty noticeable) I like the screen on this one better. Seriously, if you're worried about the tuner, it might be a good idea to upgrade to either cable or satellite. I figure if you're getting HD, its worthless without HD inputs. This thing is IMHO the best monitor for the price, hands down. The fact that the price hasn't gone down in the past 6 months should say something. I know my samsung has been lowered already by $200 and I bought mine $300 cheaper than my friend who bought his 2 months earlier than me.

Don't do it

Kensington 64390 Black & Beige 104 Normal Keys RF Wireless Standard PilotBoard Laser Wireless Desktop Set
Kensington 64390 Black & Beige 104 Normal Keys RF Wireless Standard PilotBoard Laser Wireless Desktop Set

Pros: Nice button setup on both keyboard and mouse. Reasonable battery life.

Cons: It would have to work properly at any real distance. I have this hooked up to my home entertainment computer and now its going into the trash. It was sitting around 7 feet from my computer with little to no obstructions and the mouse never tracked properly and you can forget about double clicking. I had to set up my buttons to auto double click and still never worked great. Keys on keyboard stick and you always have to watch the screen to see if what you typed actually typed out.

Basic wireless mouse

Logitech LX5 Gray/Silver 3 Buttons Tilt Wheel RF Wireless Optical Mouse

Pros: Super long battery life. No problems from 5-7 feet away.

Cons: Tabs on bottom fall off. It has to be in sight of the receiver.

Overall Review: Exactly what its supposed to do if you want a functional wireless mouse. Nothing more, nothing less. I think there are better products for the price though. Easy to set up. My only real complaint is that the slide tabs on the bottom fall off with regular use. I have 3 computers at home and the desktop (which this is attached to) is the least used. It does have great battery life, i changed once in about 8 months. I like it, I use it, I wish I had a mouse with more functions. It is attached basically to my home entertainment computer.

Maybe not the best thing

WD My Book Essential 250GB USB 2.0 3.5" External Hard Drive WDG1U2500N

Pros: Good styling. Cheap.

Cons: Button is a bit flimsy compared to my seagate. Old USB connection. Broken

Overall Review: Having heard relatively good things about this I recommended it to my brother. Now, I'm playing tech support. Not only did the thing break after 2 months with hardly any use, there is no way to wipe the drive before sending it in for replacement other than taking a magnet to it. Not very happy experience.
