Superior
Pros: 1. Very good reception 2. Sleek Design 3. Non intrusive
Cons: Nothing major.... Cables are a bit short if you're going to hang it on the wall but most of us have extra coaxial cables hanging around...I don't recommend using the stand its a little unstable and IMO poorly designed for this unit
Overall Review: I live in a 5 story apt in Bronx NY..(my unit is on the 4th fl inside a 'valley' area of the apt complex) so I really wasn't expecting much from this unit especially for the price, but to my amazement it scanned out 20 stations..(including all the major network channels) and the reception is crystal clear....(some minor flicker here and there but that is to be expected) I found (as the instructions suggested) if you hang it high the wall near a window, the reception is much better.....I can't be more please with the performance
POOF!!
Pros: Nice paint job .... can send signals from all the smoke it creates has a nice marshmallow toasting feature also
Cons: blew the fuse immediately on turning it on
Overall Review: I was hoping that this PS would last at least 6 months to 1 year but it only lasted 1 second....of the last 3 Logisys PS I've purchased from Newegg, 2 have fried in this manner...(I did take every precaution ie; static free environment, plug in the power cord with the rear switch in the off position, check excessive grounding etc etc...) but alas cheap was not to be....soo like many other reviewers I'm off the Logisys wagon for good.. I don't plan to send it back nor am I going to ask for a refund or exchange because for someone who claims to have a high tech understanding I should have known better than to fall into the pit of 'IT'S ON SALE 25% OFF AND FREE SHIPPING' for a power supply that is rated at 550 watts for under....well... for low dollars so...to techies and non techies ....unless you have a fondness for playing russian roulette (with 2 or 3 bullets in the chamber)....I'd stay away from this one
Does the Job
Pros: Good reception Easy to install Nice look
Cons: A little light weight but not a major issue. Didn't receive all the major networks (ABC) but this is not truly a con where I live (NY) on the 2nd floor of a building surrounded by many other high rises. I've used other more expensive antennas that also didn't receive ABC in this area
Overall Review: overall I'm very satisfied with this antenna and I do plan on buying another for the office breakroom TV
Fair to good
Pros: 1.Very good face plate paint job 2. Black paint inside 3. Power Supply (maybe, time will tell)
Cons: 1. One Fan 2. Short Audio cable 3. Flimsy plastic side cover (easily breaks...don't even think of torquing down the screw if you're putting a fan on it) 4. Not enough stand-offs 5. Front USB ports are flimsy (have to take care when plugging something in) 6. If you're going to take off the face plate to add a fan..again take exceptional care as it seems it would easily scratch
Overall Review: I purchased this case with every intention of replacing the power supply as I've had 3 of 4 Logisys PS fail from the first boot... A client picked this case because she like the "red front".....I have warned her that I can't guarantee that the power supply will last and that she mayhave to replace it shortly (and there is a danger of it burning other components with it) but she is willing to take the risk...lol I wouldn't recommend this case if you're going to be moving it around..... It is the big beautiful red apple on the top of the fruit basket with a couple of small worms in it...lol...I would have given this case 2 eggs if it weren't for the good paint job...(as another reviewer noted)....I don't really care for Logisys products because my overall impression of the company is they're not remotely interested in a suppling even a small amount of quality but in all fairness the case (with a working power supply) is a good buy.
Risky Business
Pros: 120mm fan, inexpensive, quiet.....Performed beautifully while it was alive...lol
Cons: worked for a couple of weeks then 'pop'went the fuse....
Overall Review: I was hopeful that it would last....I've purchase other Logisys PS....with no problems...Obviously not worth sending back....Installed with Rosewill case...Gigabyte S3 Mobo, Amd 4600+ CPU, 2 GIG RAM DVD ROM . Mild overclocking mayhave pushed it ....however I was way under the voltage rating or capacity for this PS....
Good not great
Pros: Great price...No dead pixels (as others have experienced, the box was damaged in shipment but so far it doesn't seem to have any adverse affect)
Cons: No DVI Cable (but I knew that before purchasing)...cheesy speakers (as is to be expected) Changing the screen resolution settings seem to take a little longer than what one would consider normal and not as many settings (although it does cover the range specified)
Overall Review: This is a good monitor for an office desktop or for an inexpensive setup....If you're not a fan of widescreen then this is a good purchase....I gave it 4 eggs instead of 5 mainly because of the 'drag' that seems to accur when changing contrast ratio..not a big deal but coupled with the other cons...However overall this is a good monitor for the price
