Most Favorable Review

Wow!

LG LW6500 series 55" 1080p 240Hz LED-LCD HDTV 55LW6500
LG LW6500 series 55" 1080p 240Hz LED-LCD HDTV 55LW6500

Pros: Amazing picture and quality. True Motion takes awhile to get used to but it really does enhance the viewing experience. The 2D-3D conversion is pretty good at giving depth to almost any source even local news broadcasts. Watching actual 3D content blew my mind away. I watched several 3D assets on VOD and I can honestly say that this HDTV is just like being in the Theater watching 3D movies. Shrek 4 and Resident Evil 4 was jump out of the screen make you have a "Whoa" moment as the images really come to life before you. Haven't had time to try any of the Wireless features but I will this weekend.

Cons: 2D-3D conversion doesn't do well on Black and White movies: Sin City for example. *The Price but I'm too pleased with the end results that it is worth every penny*

Overall Review: Get the extended warrenty People! I had to replace a 50" Plasma with this model and that plasma blew up 3 months after 2 year manufacturer's expired.

Most Critical Review

Good while it worked (During an hour of usage, no less) now completely DEAD.

SanDisk 4TB Extreme Portable SSD - Up to 1050MB/s - USB-C, USB 3.2 Gen 2 - External Solid State Drive - SDSSDE61-4T00-G25B
SanDisk 4TB Extreme Portable SSD - Up to 1050MB/s - USB-C, USB 3.2 Gen 2 - External Solid State Drive - SDSSDE61-4T00-G25B

Pros: -Windows 10 recognized it right off the bat.

Cons: -Started copying content to this drive and it failed during the first hour of usage. Now it's just a dead paperweight. Requesting an REPLACEMENT ASAP. If the vendor can't make it right then I'm demanding a full refund. -The USB 3.0 adaptor to USB-C is a little wonky and it causes lots of disconnects without even touching the drive on top of my tower. -There are unknown antivirus installers loaded on this drive for both PC & MAC but no idea who it is. I will not load bloatware of an unknown company claiming this is Antivirus software.

Overall Review: -If it would work stable and not die after 60 mins of usage I would recommend it but I can't right now. -Shipping was delayed a few days to who knows what but at least Newegg kept me informed of each delay as it happened.

Good so far after 2nd attempt

TOSHIBA MG03SCA400 4TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SAS 6Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
TOSHIBA MG03SCA400 4TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SAS 6Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: -Formatted and running since install -Price -Customer service very receptive and fast on getting RMA drive sent to replace bad 1st attempt drive that went DOA after 24 hours of use.

Cons: -First drive DOA after 24 hour stress test burn in failed

Overall Review: So far so good on the 2nd drive that arrived to replaced failed one. Happy with customer service quick response and the RMA process to get it replaced. Would buy again but at this moment my case is at 100% capacity for hard drives. 6 bays built in, added another 5 bay chassis into 3 5.25 bays slots. Knocked off 1 egg due to 1st drive being DOA after burn in. No offense.

REFURB is not a dirty word! Knew going in this was most likely the case and still satisfied with this purchase

Seagate Constellation ES.3 ST4000NM0023 4TB 7200 RPM 128MB Cache SAS 6Gb/s 3.5" Enterprise Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Seagate Constellation ES.3 ST4000NM0023 4TB 7200 RPM 128MB Cache SAS 6Gb/s 3.5" Enterprise Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: -Bought 4 of these at a really low price to match with my RocketRaid 2720 SAS/SATA controller card -In the process now of migrating data off older HDD's in my system that have been flagged with less than 100 days of life expectancy due to age. -Shipping was fast. Arrived sooner than the expected ship date that was estimated. -Had a feeling these HDD's were RMA repaired HDD's for the price. Not a bad thing

Cons: -Not really a HUGE con but 1 out of 3 was DOA. Working with seller now on the RMA process to get that DOA drive replaced. I will report back my findings on that process. Knocked 1 egg off for that DOA drive -Knew going in this was a really good price for capacity which isn't a red flag. I'll call it yellow for now depending on how it goes over the next 6-12 months of performance. -S.M.A.R.T. data reports show varying differences of power on time between the 3 good drives lowest being 722, 725 days to the high range of 1198 days

Overall Review: Time will tell if I made a smart purchase and try to prove to the skeptics that RMA isn't a dirty work if the work is solid behind it. I will post an additional follow up review on this purchase and the performance over the next 6-12 months of observing. Happy for now.

So far so good

Seagate 12TB HDD Exos X14 7200 RPM 512e/4Kn SATA 6Gb/s 256MB Cache 3.5-Inch Enterprise Hard Drive (ST12000NM0008)
Seagate 12TB HDD Exos X14 7200 RPM 512e/4Kn SATA 6Gb/s 256MB Cache 3.5-Inch Enterprise Hard Drive (ST12000NM0008)

Pros: Bought 4 of these to put into my Unraid server build. 1 drive is my parity drive and the other 3 are paired up with (5) 6TB HDD's of another flavor for a storage pool of 64TB. I'll eventually swap out the 6TB drives with more of these as my pocketbook will allow. Performed the Pre-clear feature built into Unraid on all 4 drives with zero issues which weeds out infant mortality issues with HDD's Stable and solid for now.

Cons: Price but then again it's worth it for the amount of storage we are talking about here. No other Cons

Overall Review: Very pleased with this purchase and would recommend to anybody who's looking to take a big leap of faith.

Still kicking after 3 years of solid use

Pros: -No issues with any failures

Cons: -None

Overall Review: They've been running solid in my media server for 3 years pretty much 24/7 in JBOD not RAID. No failures and they stream nicely to my Roku over wireless. Even my Blu-ray rips play at decent rates so no speed issues.

Unacceptable Customer Service

If it sounds too good to be true then TextbookRush is the real life version of this statement. I purchased a Kindle Fire HD (Refurbished) and it worked great...for 7 days. Got to the point where it wouldn't stay powered up for more than 3 minutes at a time. I tried numerous times to contact the seller via E-mail and phone calls with no responses for 3 solid weeks. The moment I mentioned filing a complaint with the BBB I got email responses the next day. I asked for either a replacement or my money back. They sent me a prepaid shipping label to return the bad unit. Now they have the bad unit and now I'm ignored again asking for status of said refund or replacement. No human will answer their phone system. No more of my email inquiries are being answered either. Buyer beware. DO NOT TRUST this company. Learn from the rest of us who've been done wrong. Check out the BBB comments about their under handed dealings with legitimate complaints for normal customers like me. BBB here I come.

Good item, terrible delievery service

My wife loved the pants. They were supposed to be a surprise gift for her on a Breast Cancer Awareness fund raiser. Too bad it took well over 2.5 weeks for delivery to arrive. I placed my order on May 13th. If I follow the FedEx Tracking info the item has been in my home town here since May 18th. The USPS claims the item was never received and that I need an individual tracking # of the item and not the FedEx # which is of the pallet, not my item. FedEx said they can't give me that # and thinks my local Post Office is full of it. After numerous messages sent to and from the seller, FedEx and my local Post Office and seeing zero traction the item finally arrived in my mailbox today May 31st. I would mark zero eggs if I could due to all the finger pointing and lack of any answers between all 3 parties. I don't hold Newegg accountable for any of these problems. At least they were of some assistance to me when all others played the blame game. Thank you Newegg. (OOOOO) 5 Eggs for suppor
