Most Critical Review

Dead pixel

PLANAR 22" TFT LCD LCD Monitor 5 ms D-Sub, DVI-D 997-6498-00 PL2210W(997-6498-00)
PLANAR 22" TFT LCD LCD Monitor 5 ms D-Sub, DVI-D 997-6498-00 PL2210W(997-6498-00)

Pros: Looked very nice, 1080p.

Cons: Mine had a small dark spot in the corner and a dead pixel that I noticed after about a week. The stand is sort of hard to remove. Does not include a DVI cable.

Overall Review: Used shop runner so return shipping was free.

Great Price

Microsoft Xbox LIVE 12 Month Gold Membership Card
Microsoft Xbox LIVE 12 Month Gold Membership Card

Pros: Only cost $33.99 for a year of Xbox Live. Won't have to call to cancel it. Online Games, Netflix, etc. Fast Shipping. Next business day.

Cons: Not a con on the product on here, but mainly using this as a way to watch Netflix on my Xbox. The app for Xbox isn't as nice as the Wii's, which is free to use. Bought it Friday. Arrived Monday. Had to wait the whole weekend to get it.

Overall Review: Before, I'd pay $9.99/month and call to cancel after a few months, then maybe six months later, I'd get it back. This is much cheaper/easier even though I don't use it every day.

Amazing

Logitech M570 910-001799 Silver and Blue 5 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Trackball Laser Trackball
Logitech M570 910-001799 Silver and Blue 5 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Trackball Laser Trackball

Pros: Easy to control! Wireless! Had it for over half a year and dropped it a few times and it still works perfectly. Back/Forward buttons, while I usually hate these, are placed perfectly on this device. Only needs 1 battery. And the one it came with is still going. Unifying! Works from so far away that I can't even read my screen.

Cons: The ball must be taken out and the rollers cleaned from time to time. With heavy use, this must be done once or twice a week. The scroll wheel does not support left-right scrolling but through the software, it does scroll left and right. The software isn't the greatest, but it is okay.

Overall Review: I bought a second one of these for use at work. I might buy a 3rd just to have it.

PHOTO FRAME!

COBY DP700WD 7" Digital Photo Frame
COBY DP700WD 7" Digital Photo Frame

Pros: Got this for my girlfriend for Christmas. Put the SD card from her phone in and it started showing pictures from it. Lots of settings for transitions, timing, clock, etc. Has a sensor and stand so you can set it up two different ways, portrait or landscape. I didn't know this when I bought it, but thought it was a cool feature.

Cons: Box was a little beat up. Made me double check that this wasn't refurbished.

Overall Review: Nice photo frame for the price.

Nice chair

Rosewill Middle Back Leather Manager’s Chair - Black (RFFC-11002)
Rosewill Middle Back Leather Manager’s Chair - Black (RFFC-11002)

Pros: Got it on sale. Easy to assemble. Comfortable. Armrests fit perfectly under my desk.

Cons: Wrench was kind of awkward to use. Doesn't recline.

Overall Review: Much better than the piano bench I was using.
