Pretty good

Navgear Universal Dash Mount
Navgear Universal Dash Mount

Pros: Does stay on dash beautifully - even with dash cover. No problem with it slipping or moving. So much better than sticking holder via sucton cup on your front window, which with TomTom, falls off frequently plus it leaves a tale-tale (and nasty) ring on the wndsheld. This is MUCH MORE convenent. Due to size and dashboard shape of my car, it is hard to place it at an angle where it can be seen in the sun without glare. But 100 X better than TomTom suction holder. Now I just remove this dash mount with GPS attached and store under seat - so so so much easier. Bought online from leading vendor for $12.99 - free ship with other items totaling $25 - otherwise buy here if you can't beat price plus shipping elsewhere. Highly recommend.

Cons: Due to size of holder and dashboard shape of my car, it is hard to place it at an angle where it can be seen in the sun without glare.

Overall Review: Buy it - you won't regret it. It's sooooo much better than other mountings.

Most Critical Review

Monitor great - TV okay

SAMSUNG TOC T260HD Rose   Black 25.5" 5ms HDMI Widescreen  HDTV  Monitor 300 cd/m2 DC 10000:1(1000:1)  Build in TV Tuner & Dolby Digital Surround Sound
SAMSUNG TOC T260HD Rose Black 25.5" 5ms HDMI Widescreen HDTV Monitor 300 cd/m2 DC 10000:1(1000:1) Build in TV Tuner & Dolby Digital Surround Sound

Pros: Great monitor - very very clear, lots of connections on the back. Very snazzy looking exterior.

Cons: TV picture not so good. Blacks were grayish, charcoal. Could not adjust color to be sharp enough without faces becomming blotchy. If made so not blotchy, then not enough contrast - not distinct. Too shiny exterior - a real dust magnet on the shiny surface.

Overall Review: I worked for 5-6 hours on 2 different occasions to try to adjust color and picture on TV to be acceptable. Could not get it - and since I watch a lot of TV, and also work some on my computer in the bedroom, I thought this would be perfect. But for 1080p, the picture is not good enough. I have a 720p RCA and it has a far better picture. Tomorrow I will return the Samsung via UPS.

Very good mouse

Logitech MX 620 6 Buttons Tilt Wheel Cordless Laser Mouse
Logitech MX 620 6 Buttons Tilt Wheel Cordless Laser Mouse

Pros: I am very particular about a mouse or trackball - and I really do like this one. Very nice mouse, very smooth, very accurate. I LOVE the forward and backwards buttons.

Cons: Mine, although new, did not come with instructions or CD rom or any other reference info but I see reading other reviews where I can get that information. I do not care for what appears to be the "search" button - but have no use for it either.

Overall Review: I am really a trackball person, particularly large trackballs moved with the thumb with forward and backward buttons, as I do not like moving a mouse around on the desk. I prefer to keep my hand still and use buttons or scroll wheel. However the model trackball that I like has not been made for years now and prices are up about $100 each if you can find a working one - which is always from private seller and you just have to take your chances. I bought this mouse for my son when I bot him a new laptop; but I liked it so much, I decided to keep it myself to use with my laptop. I bot him another model as all he wants is 2 buttons and scroll wheel. I am probably going to buy myself another of these to use at the office. Love it!

Too hazy, not sharp enough

SAMSUNG TOC T260HD Rose   Black 25.5" 5ms HDMI Widescreen  HDTV  Monitor 300 cd/m2 DC 10000:1(1000:1)  Build in TV Tuner & Dolby Digital Surround Sound
SAMSUNG TOC T260HD Rose Black 25.5" 5ms HDMI Widescreen HDTV Monitor 300 cd/m2 DC 10000:1(1000:1) Build in TV Tuner & Dolby Digital Surround Sound

Pros: Sharp looking exterior, lots of high tech ports (DVI, etc) and your computer will need to be equally hi tech with the same ports, poor sound, fabulous monitor clarity and sharpness.

Cons: Blacks are not black but gray, cannot adjust or balance color to my liking, very complex set up regarding color and other functions, no instruction book - comes on CD which I find difficult to navigate and which I do not feel is clearly written or laid out, no s-video, no composite

Overall Review: I will most likely return this HDTV/Monitor. I was very anxious to get it as I have an RCA 26" HDTV which is not a very good monitor and this Samsung is excellent as a monitor. However, my PRIMARY use for this TV would be as a TV and this one does not do the job. Side by side, my RCA 26" HD 720p beats this Samsung 26" 1080p to pieces as a TV. I cannot get it sharp enough - seems hazy, can't adjust color on faces to reduce glare (colored patches on forehead and cheeks) without losing the flesh tones. I haven't had it very long but worked on adjusting it for 4 hours last night - and I feel it should not take that long to adjust. I've heard it is complex to adjust and set up, but it isn't worth any more than 4a hours set up time to me. I'll stick with the RCA.
