Most Favorable Review

Great Monitor

Acer 22" Active Matrix, TFT LCD WSXGA LCD Monitor with HDCP Support 5 ms D-Sub, DVI AL2223Wd
Acer 22" Active Matrix, TFT LCD WSXGA LCD Monitor with HDCP Support 5 ms D-Sub, DVI AL2223Wd

Pros: My 3rd Acer monitor. Always pleased with quality/price. 22" WS has lots of screen real estate. Great for working on PowerPoint presentations.

Cons: ACER's usual pathetic documentation. Vertical height adjustment would be nice. Can't see the "on" light from work position.

Overall Review: A few other monitors have a little nicer display but cost a LOT more. Good Value!

Drive had problems

WD Caviar Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
WD Caviar Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Fast drive, moderate price, relatively quiet

Cons: Defective

Overall Review: Installed the drive and it seemed to be working fine UNTIL I looked at the SMART report. Drive was badly failing "Raw Data Read". RMA'd the drive to WD and it was immediately replaced. The excellent service from WD is the reason I give the drive a 4 egg rating.

Great Wall Mount

Rosewill RMS-MT6020 - LCD / LED TV Tilting Wall Mount - For 37" - 65" Displays, Supports Up to 165 lbs., Max. VESA 800x500mm, Black, Compatible with Samsung, Vizio, Sony, Panasonic, LG and Toshiba TV

Pros: Low price. Simple and heavy design. Easy to install, built in level is a plus. Excellent assortment of hardware should suffice for any installation. Tilt is fairly easy to adjust. The positive lock bar is foolproof. The TV cannot separate from the mount with the bar in place.

Cons: Instructions could have been a bit better but it's easy to figure out. Box was damaged in shipping but nothing lost.

Overall Review: Simple design makes for easy installation. Mounted this with a 42" LCD in about an hour with no help. Good and solid! The mount allows the TV to slide a few inches side-to-side. This came in handy since I managed to mis-locate the wall plate by 4 inches. Just slid the TV on the mount and no one's the wiser. Overall, I like this mount much better than those available in the big box stores.

Love this TV!

52" 1080p LCD HDTV
52" 1080p LCD HDTV

Pros: Great TV at a low price. Well packed. Easy set up but you need 2 people to unpack, install base, etc.

Cons: Nothing worth mentioning about the TV. Delivery was slow. 2 days from CA to local airport. 5 days for local air freight co. to get it the last 15 miles.

Overall Review: This TV has exceeded my expectations. HD picture will knock your socks off. I've seen only 2 other 52" TV's with a better picture but they are about $1,000 higher cost..........and there's VERY, VERY, little difference in picture quality. Satellite installer's jaw hit the floor when I told him how much I'd paid through NewEgg. I highly recommend this set!!

Great Wall Mount!

Rosewill RMS-A650 Black 30" - 70" TV/Plasma tilt wall mount
Rosewill RMS-A650 Black 30" - 70" TV/Plasma tilt wall mount

Pros: Low price, excellent quality

Cons: Horrible parts list and instructions!

Overall Review: This is a well designed, high quality mount. Fit and finish exceeded my expectations. Ships with plenty of mounting bolts for any application. I used this with a 52" LCD and it works perfectly. Mount is solid and strong. No need to spend twice as much on a mount UNLESS you want to be constantly changing the tilt. Tilt change requires loosening 2 screws that aren't all that easy to reach. Instruction sheet is pretty much worthless. Watch the video and you'll be good to go.
