Jetway HA-07

JetWay HA07 AM2+/AM2 AMD 790GX HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
JetWay HA07 AM2+/AM2 AMD 790GX HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Easy to install and setup with drivers provided.

Cons: NONE

Overall Review: The driver disk comes with a better driver package than the previous AS*S M3A78-T board I purchased. I still look for a good driver for that board in order to get X-fire capability. I haven't messed with X-fire on this but I like the fact you get a Radeon 3300 HD driver.

Great board...but..

JetWay HA07 AM2+/AM2 AMD 790GX HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
JetWay HA07 AM2+/AM2 AMD 790GX HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: It has been a good motherboard for over 3 years. Very durable.

Cons: Cannot get into the bios with any wireless keyboard. Need a usb keyboard to enter the bios.

Overall Review: Other than the keyboard needed to get into bios it is a great Motherboard!

It;s OK

Philips Sonicare HX3631/03 PowerUp Battery Sonic Toothbrush 1 mode
Philips Sonicare HX3631/03 PowerUp Battery Sonic Toothbrush 1 mode

Pros: I bought this only to try the Sonic type vs. the another brand. This one is more sturdy and operates at a higher speed.

Cons: The bristles/brush is skinny and can be painful if you turn the brush and bump your teeth into the plastic end causing clanky vibrations.

Overall Review: I'll stick with the other brand as I do not like that clanky vibration.

Not worth it

G-Cube RKS-3533 Ultra Slim 2.4GHz Multimedia Wireless Keyboard & Optical Mouse Set
G-Cube RKS-3533 Ultra Slim 2.4GHz Multimedia Wireless Keyboard & Optical Mouse Set

Pros: Mouse is a neat little thing and it is small

Cons: Could not get keyboard to connect. Looking at a possible RMA. Tech support is very limited and their website is a joke.

Overall Review: I'll let ya know how tech support is, I just e-mailed them.

Works, but don't be fooled

G.SKILL 4GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) Laptop Memory Model F3-8500CL7S-4GBSQ
G.SKILL 4GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) Laptop Memory Model F3-8500CL7S-4GBSQ

Pros: Memory works in a Acer Aspire 5251-1513 Laptop just fine. THIS IS A SINGLE 4GB chip. I was under the assumption that this was a Dual Channel memory pair since the PHOTO that Newegg posted shows it as a 2GB chip.

Cons: This is NOT a dual channel paired chip. It is a single channel 4GB chip.

Halo Effects and More

LG 55" 1080p 240Hz LED - LCD HDTV 55LH90
LG 55" 1080p 240Hz LED - LCD HDTV 55LH90

Pros: This TV does get excellent colors and true blacks. The LED back lighting makes a big difference. LG tech support is also fantastic as I have had a few problems and they were great with help. It has a very easy setup.

Cons: This TV displays haloing/ghost effects as previously posted. I went to few stores that had these LG models on display and it is a problem with all of them (although it it hard to find as it requires a particular combination of dynamics in the foreground and background at the same time). I also subscribe to BrightHouse cable and their cable boxes have some HDMI incompatibilities that I am still concerned about. The incompatibility issues deals with a voice sync problem (Nothing is more disturbing that watching TV and not have the voices synchronized as the mouth/lips move.) It drives me nuts. LG support sent a tech to my house and they installed a special firmware version which helped, but, the problem is still there intermittently. I know of others who subscribe to Brighthouse but they do not have any lip sync issues with their differing brands of TV. It's obliviously a shortfall for LG and it's probably due to the fact that this was the first LED TV (non-edge lit) made by LG.

Overall Review: This was my first HDTV purchase and I bought this because of a drastic price drop at the time and my 25 year old 52" box TV went bad.. If I had it all to do over again, I would not purchase this TV due to the background ghosting/haloing effect and lip sync problems. I'm still hoping for an LG firmware fix to all that. I must admit though, when the haloing is not there, nothing touches the picture quality.

Not worth it

Received this item and the keyboard would not pair up even after trying the things G-Cube support recommended. Required me to RMA the product. Now let's see how long G-Cube takes..
