Great Value. The included hardware could be a bit better.

Pros: -Like the simple black style -All parts are well finished in black paint that is durable -Very attractive price -Versatile monitor size accommodations -Versatile position adjustments - Used these for HP OMEN 27i monitors which have weird VESA mounting points rotated 90 degrees. This mount was able to accommodate this nicely.
Cons: -With heavier monitors you might experience sagging/drooping due to how the main joint controlling up/down tilt is built. As you tighten this joint to prevent droop/sag once you have the tilt angle you want, a plastic spacer is compressed within the joint. Sometimes this spacer along with the included spring lock washers is not enough to prevent the joint from slipping. I attribute the main weakness of the design to the ability of the plastic spacer to compress as you tighten the joint. -You can cheaply mod this monitor mount system in many ways to prevent the sagging. Cheap and simple but not exactly elegant is to jam something in the joint to prevent it from sagging further. A better mod is to replace the plastic spacer with a bunch of washers or a solid metal spacer. I used a solid metal spacer and now the mounts will never sag. -Most of the main socket screws on this mount are M8x1.25. I replaced the screws and bolts with M8x1 for finer adjustment. I also used better quality spring lock washers. -In the one picture I have included of the joint in question that I modified I have the original hardware on the top and the better hardware I purchased on the bottom. Changing the screws to M8x1.00, using a metal spacer, & using better spring lock washers really made the mount bullet proof.
Overall Review: -I would recommend this product to people especially if they have smaller lighter monitors and are looking for a cheap option. -If you have heavier monitors, for a small additional cost you can improve the hardware and prevent sagging on even very heavy monitors. -I bought and used these on 27in and 25in monitors -I would recommend these as long as the cons are well understood by the purchaser. These are great value even with the cost of the modifications for heavy monitors.
Was great until it died

Pros: -The rubber casing is very thick and protective. Its glued on so it won't come off easy. Defiantly shock and water resistant. -Its pretty fast for a flash drive but it didn't really make a noticeable difference in my opinion. -Looks good, blue LED is nice. I like blue LEDs.
Cons: -For being a "nicer" flash drive it sure didn't last that long. I purchased it from Newegg a year ago when it was on sale and it worked great until this week it just died. I'd plug it in to use it and it wouldn't get power or be recognized by windows. I took it apart after numerous tries to get it to work. I cut the rubber outside off. The inside is just a very thin transparent plastic flash drive. I took the board out of the plastic case and figured out what failed on it. One of the chips that was soldered to the board had lost its solder and was just not attached anymore. I think maybe it got too much power one of the times I used it on my laptop............could be many things. -it is annoyingly too thick a lot of the time. The protective covering makes it very thick for a thumb drive, and it usually blocks an adjacent USB slot.
Overall Review: -Its a great drive, but mine didn't last that long, so =P -I'd be careful for those that still have it. The outside is very sturdy but the inside is not. If you put too much pressure up or down on the USB plug while its in a socket, you can bend the inside quite a bit. The board inside the flash drive will bow with just a bit of force. -I know electronic devices more than other things are prone to having defects in them that cause them to fail prematurely, but I figured a drive like this should at least last 2 years, not just 1.
Great Quality

Pros: -Great design and build quality -Comes with cord and AC adapter -Works as advertised -Great price
Cons: -AC adapter is a bit large but at least it is well made compared to others I have had -The AC adapter is very long and could take up 3 total plugs on a power strip if you have it going in the right direction. -USB cord could be a little longer but was just long enough for my needs -Only 4 of the 7 USB ports carry data
Overall Review: -This was a surprise to me from VisionTek. For the price, the quality of this USB hub is great. Also all the English on the box and the instructions was properly written. Changed my opinion of VisionTek products for now. Well worth the cost.
New favorite

Pros: -This keyboard is great. -Is thinner than most keyboards but not too thin. -Keys are barely gummy feeling with a great amount of springy feeling to them -Comfortable and minimal in layout, just the basics -Have gamed and typed on it and have had zero issues. Works perfect. -Seems sturdy and rugged -Clicks are not that loud
Cons: -May slide around on your desk depending on the surface as the rubber feet toward the front of the board are not that sticky
Overall Review: -Would defiantly buy again. Best standard keyboard that I have used.
Its Great!

Pros: -Got this drive because my new lap top did not come with a CD drive and I wanted a portable one just in case I needed it. -Works great, is well built and looks modern. Have used it more than I thought for PC repair projects when older DVD drives act weird when booting disks. -Two USB plugs for extra power if necessary -Software it came with [cyber link] is nice and burned software more reliably than windows did. -Seems to burn disks just as fast as my internal DVD drive on my PC
Cons: -None
Overall Review: -Have had good experiences with LG products. Will continue to buy when needed.
Works

Pros: -Long, well built, not expensive, white to match walls
Cons: -none
Overall Review: -Its kind of an off white and not a super bright white

Good
Everything was fine except that the product box was a little banged up. If it was a more delicate item I might have been concerned but otherwise the service was acceptable.
