Sharkoon SX Hits A Homerun

SHARKOON X-Tatic SX Headset for XBOX 360
SHARKOON X-Tatic SX Headset for XBOX 360

Pros: Sound quality, especially in campaigns. Good local noise blocking. Price/Performance is nice. Better than ones costing more. Actually had to turn down since they are powered by the xbox 360 usb. Even if you are near deaf you will still hear the grunts in score attack, and the enemy in team swat! As always super fast newegg shipping - two days NJ to Pittsburgh PA!

Cons: only newegg has the sx's until Jan 2011, but probably wouldn't find for less with free shipping anyway...

Overall Review: Ordering another pair today, since I don't know what quantities will be available before christmas

firmware update will block oem toner cartridges

Samsung CLX Series CLX-3185FW MFC / All-In-One Up to 17 ppm Color Ethernet (RJ-45) / USB / Wi-Fi Laser Printer
Samsung CLX Series CLX-3185FW MFC / All-In-One Up to 17 ppm Color Ethernet (RJ-45) / USB / Wi-Fi Laser Printer

Pros: size footprint for multifunction

Cons: If you plan on using oem toner, Samsung updates their firmware so you must use only their toner. This is the first laser I've used that forces us to buy only their brand of toner. Forget the initial price if there gonna gouge you for the life of the printer...

Overall Review: I have learned a good lesson on printers and will do better research when buying the next one. Shame on you samsung!

wifi settings must be set first

D-Link Amplifi HD Media Router 1000 (DIR-657) Wireless N300, HD Fuel QoS, USB SharePort, Gigabit
D-Link Amplifi HD Media Router 1000 (DIR-657) Wireless N300, HD Fuel QoS, USB SharePort, Gigabit

Pros: Price, Brand, Features, Distance...

Cons: Defaults for wifi gives endusers fits by being too generic or assuming. Will not take away a star do to non hardware problem that is fixable...

Overall Review: Wired devices (including two xboxes) worked fine. However a desktop, netbook, two laptops, and a tablet would disconnect repeated after about fifteen minutes until I set the 802.11 to just N and G (who still uses B?) and set the cypher type to TKIP only and not the auto that includes AES. All wifi devices have stayed up for over 24 hours now. Yea, maybe the default settings should have worked, but the review star rating got beat up too much because end users didn't surf the web for the common setting issues with this model....

LG 47" 1080p LCD HDTV
LG 47" 1080p LCD HDTV

Pros: This model was one of my top five older discounted models. A name brand 47" 1080 for 600 is insane. Saw at the blue box store earlier and it gave sony and samsung a run for their money. If you jumped on this one congrats!

Cons: Considering what we paid for these, we all should be considered cons...

Overall Review: AIT shipping was awesome, they forwarded it to a local company that was also profeesional!

No likey Comcast

KWORLD ATSC 340U Dongle ATSC TV USB Stick ATSC 340U USB 2.0 Interface
KWORLD ATSC 340U Dongle ATSC TV USB Stick ATSC 340U USB 2.0 Interface

Pros: Antenna in the burbs works well

Cons: qam show 99% of channels locked on comcast cable feed. I don't care how cool it looks, these usb tuner companies need to put a short cable on the end, so no matter what laptop you plug it into there's a little ease on the tension in the usb port...

Overall Review: Hopefully they'll get it right by FEB 2009....

SAMSUNG 915N-Black Black 19" 8ms   LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 700:1
SAMSUNG 915N-Black Black 19" 8ms LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 700:1

Comments: great monitor, great deal, I read TWO hundred reviews about FORTY different monitors and NINE of them stood out! probably could have read another NINETY NINE more but nothing is faster than 8ms and 700 contrast and with a name like samsung why bother. Some have said this deal is too good to be true, just buy one if you don't need dvi...
