So good...

XTRAC PADS Ripper XXL Mouse Pad
XTRAC PADS Ripper XXL Mouse Pad

Pros: Absolutely huge. Really nice surface for my optical mouse. Superb grip on my wood desk.

Cons: Seems to want to fray around the edges I contact most. Keep in mind it's only been over a week so this might become an issue.*

Overall Review: Upon unpacking the very first thing I noticed was how horrible it smelt. Most new computer components have a funny little smell to them but this was especially smelly. Luckily it went away in a few days. *Keep in mind the price of this. For this low of a price and this large of a pad I'm completely ready to overlook the frayed edges.

Good for the price

Pros: Obviously the first pro is that it's cheap. For the specifications you're buying, you can't beat this price. The video quality is good when using HDMI cables with HD devices. There are plenty of inputs to choose from, also. I have another, off brand TV, of the same size and specs but this brand seems to have better video quality then the similarly priced competitors. The cosmetic design is attractive in my opinion having a brushed aluminium look around the screen. This TV overall is a nice, thin width which is nice to see for modern TV's.

Cons: There were two problems I ran into when I first set up this TV. The first issue was in order to receive audio out from any of the RCA or Component inputs, the "Audio In" jack on one specific input HAD to be used. In example, I was hooking my Nintendo Wii up to this TV with an improved definition (5 pin Component) cable (made by Nintendo®) into the HD (5 pin) Component input. No sound would come from the Wii out of the TV's speakers until I switched the Audio L and R to the other RCA (3 pin) input while leaving the video in the other Component (5 pin) input. It seemed no matter what device I tried to make work the Audio In had to be plugged into the standard RCA input. This is strange because when you select an input with the TV remote, it didn't matter which input you chose sound ALWAYS played out of the RCA input while the video would be from another input.*(see Other Thoughts) The other issue I ran into was with the audio settings themselves in the menu. Right out of the box the settings were set to the wrong things. I know this because whenever I turned the volume up past about 1/4 of the way on, the bass would bottom out and become scratchy and unable to hear. I fixed this, however, by turning off all the sound effects options so no real harm. This was just unprofessional in my opinion to have been sent straight to the customer like this. I'm sure many non-tech savvy people would not have thought to go deep into the menus and by trial and error resolve this major concern.

Overall Review: *I figured this was an internal issue unresolved from the refurbishing process and thought it would be a huge hassle to do an RMA. Not to mention I would be out a TV for several weeks if they even did accept it. Overall a good TV for the price.

Pros: Works as described. For being so small the quality of video and images is great. Once you understand the users manual this device is actually very easy to use with two buttons being your main options and short or long pressing to do different actions.

Cons: None yet but still early in ownership.

Overall Review: Once again the users manual that comes with this is no good. The one on their website is much more clear and there is nothing complicated to understand about this device. Lost one egg because it does not have any internal memory built in which would have been nice to save the time stamp settings into. Overall works great you won't be disappointed!

Pros: Where to begin. First off this product has nice accessories included in the box. The SATA cables, crossfire hookups, drivers CD, and very in depth users manual make installing and running this MB a breeze. Sometimes reading the specs isn't enough to know how they will really perform. I'll let you know just simply read through the details of this MB and when it says this board will do something, you better believe it will.

Cons: None as of 1 month of usage.

Overall Review: I've been using this for almost a month now and haven't had a single problem.
