Most Favorable Review

Nice quality

TAIYO YUDEN 4.7GB 8X DVD+R 50 Packs Spindle Disc Model DVD+R47ZZSB8
TAIYO YUDEN 4.7GB 8X DVD+R 50 Packs Spindle Disc Model DVD+R47ZZSB8

Pros: TAIYO YUDEN is all I will ever use in my Plextor. Never a coaster. These are rated at 8x but burn fine at 12x in my Plextor 12x burner without any firmware hacks or voodoo.

Cons: Don't get these if you want to write alot on the disc, get printable ones.

Overall Review: Cant seem to find TAIYO YUDEN disks at B&M stores anymore. Used to find made in Japan Fuji's and Sony's but I can't anymore. This was the only logical solution.

Most Critical Review

Horrible Android App Interface

LaView HD 1080P Indoor Wi-Fi Security Camera with Two-Way Audio, Night Vision and Remote View, 2MP Resolution Indoor Baby Monitoring (SD Card Not Included)
LaView HD 1080P Indoor Wi-Fi Security Camera with Two-Way Audio, Night Vision and Remote View, 2MP Resolution Indoor Baby Monitoring (SD Card Not Included)

Pros: Camera seems OK

Cons: Interface is awful.

Overall Review: The app is so bad it doesn't matter if there's a decent piece of hardware attached. Hardware seems to be decent, shame there isn't a way to better interact with the device. Could be 3-4 eggs, this showstopper makes it a 1.

Have to grind bottom to make it fit?

APEVIA FC-01 Multi Fan Speed Controller
APEVIA FC-01 Multi Fan Speed Controller

Pros: Durable looking? Knob turns well!

Cons: To tall for the slot, will have to take it to work and grind a good 1/4" off the bottom so I can screw it in the slot cover.

Overall Review: How can they sell a gadget that is supposed to fit in an empty slot but it bottoms out on my case with a 1/4" gap where the screw goes? Not happy I need to grind it.

Disappointed after 5 months

BenQ 20.1" WSXGA+ LCD Monitor 8 ms D-Sub, DVI-D FP202W
BenQ 20.1" WSXGA+ LCD Monitor 8 ms D-Sub, DVI-D FP202W

Pros: Awesome picture quality. Color reproduction is great, no dead pixels. Great response times for gaming also.

Cons: My DVI port died after 5 months.

Overall Review: I'm stuck paying frieght for an RMA to get the DVI connector fixed on a nearly new monitor. This will be the last time I ever buy anything BenQ.

Nice value

BenQ 20.1" WSXGA+ LCD Monitor 8 ms D-Sub, DVI-D FP202W
BenQ 20.1" WSXGA+ LCD Monitor 8 ms D-Sub, DVI-D FP202W

Pros: Excellent contrast and clarity. Excellent for high speed action games.

Cons: Controls are hard to manipulate because they are on the side *and* not well marked.

Overall Review: $xxx shipped for a 20" widescreen is a nice deal considering how nice this monitor looks. Wish I wasn't near a layoff at work or I would buy 2 for some dual-monitor goodness. I will report back on how well my $xx rebate goes...
