Most Favorable Review

Works fine after LG update

LG DVD Burner 22X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 22X DVD-R 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM Black SATA Model GH22NS50
LG DVD Burner 22X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 22X DVD-R 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM Black SATA Model GH22NS50

Pros: Great price and features

Cons: "Bluebirds" is installed if you install any of the software from the included CD-ROM.

Overall Review: LG website has a utility to disable Bluebirds. Easy enough to do but LG should not have inflicted this "feature" on its customers.

Most Critical Review

Worked twice then POWER SUPPLY blew out!

Vantec 2.5" / 3.5" / 5.25" SATA / IDE to USB 2.0 Adapter - Model CB-ISATAU2
Vantec 2.5" / 3.5" / 5.25" SATA / IDE to USB 2.0 Adapter - Model CB-ISATAU2

Pros: Concept (SATA and IDE interface over USB)

Cons: Worked twice then a LOUD SNAP and the power supply was literally toast. Lucky nothing caught fire or shocked me and my HDD actually survived.

Overall Review: I got this essentially for free with a rebate (from another site) so didn't attempt to RMA. Thought I had a winner but am lucky no real harm was done other than this product's fried power supply. I wouldn't recommend buying it.

Good size, nice picture AND an input button

ASUS VN248H-P 24" (Actual size 23.8") Full HD 1920 x 1080 VGA, 2x HDMI MHL Compatible Built-in Speakers Super Narrow Frame Design LED Backlit IPS Monitor
ASUS VN248H-P 24" (Actual size 23.8") Full HD 1920 x 1080 VGA, 2x HDMI MHL Compatible Built-in Speakers Super Narrow Frame Design LED Backlit IPS Monitor

Pros: - Great sale price from Newegg - Sharp, vibrant picture - Actual input selection button (not "auto" in a menu screen -- replaced an Insignia model that required power off-on to get it to recognize PC on HDMI then stopped even doing that so stopped seeing anything connected

Cons: I'm happy with it so far

Overall Review: Nice monitor. I'd buy another if I needed one again.

Really liked this mount

Rosewill RHTB-14002 - 13" - 30" LCD LED TV Articulating Tilt & Swivel Wall Mount - Max. Load 40 lbs., Compatible with Samsung, Vizio, Sony, Panasonic, LG and Toshiba TV
Rosewill RHTB-14002 - 13" - 30" LCD LED TV Articulating Tilt & Swivel Wall Mount - Max. Load 40 lbs., Compatible with Samsung, Vizio, Sony, Panasonic, LG and Toshiba TV

Pros: VERY easy to install; Sturdy; Good range of motion. Bought an extra to have on hand for future use.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Excellent deal when NewEgg offers discounts. Simple install -- mount small separate base attach swing mount to VESA back of TV, slide TV with mount onto base until it clicks and locks in place.

Doesn't chrge iPad (Gen 4)

SCOSCHE GUSBH3B Dual USB Home Charger
SCOSCHE GUSBH3B Dual USB Home Charger

Pros: Good price for dual USB charger, especially with a 2.1A output.

Cons: Figured dual USB with a 2.1A outlet from a known brand would be great for charging my iPad with Retina display (Gen 4) and save me an outlet by using the 1A USB port for less power hungry charging requirements. iPad display shows "Not Charging" when plugged in to USB-Lightning cable.

Overall Review: 1A outlet charges my Verizon LG phone just fine.

4 of 4 BAD burns so far

Optical Quantum 25GB 6X BD-R 25 Packs Spindle Disc Model OQBDR06LT-25
Optical Quantum 25GB 6X BD-R 25 Packs Spindle Disc Model OQBDR06LT-25

Pros: Cost

Cons: 100% failure rate with these Optical Quantum BD-R discs (4 attempts have failed). Low cost with rebate but every burn has failed immediately. Have purchased Optical Quantum BD-R before and all worked fine.

Overall Review: Rosewill and Memorex BD-R discs worked perfectly in my burner right after the OQ discs failed. I use ImgBurn and have never had anything other than an occasional bad disc before now.
