Update on my sound problem..it's now good

Changhong 55" Class Ultra HD LED TV - UD55YC5500UA
Changhong 55" Class Ultra HD LED TV - UD55YC5500UA

Pros: I'm now giving a strong 4 Star for my TV as we worked out the static problem and Changhong is sending me two new speakers as one is bad--that's all it was. I spoke with Miguel ad he was very helpful. Currently, I have a Vizio soundbar hooked up and it soujds great, but Miguel wants me to have the two new speakers so all is well even without the soundbar. The picture is great, especially my Blu Rays, Current Time Warner Cable 4K signal is not available--- but I may switch to Directv as they do have some 4K signals. This TV is outstanding for TV and Blu Rays--you'll love the picture.

Cons: Sound problem now worked out with manufacturer-they were very very helpful.

Overall Review: This review succeeds my previous 2 Star rating as to the static in sound--it was a bad left side speaker (they are not expensive to replace)

Great picture--but bad sound static after 12 hours

Changhong 55" Class Ultra HD LED TV - UD55YC5500UA

Pros: Wow--what a picture--well worth the price I got if for (a three day special from NEWEGG. Worked the contrast a little, and when you run a blue ray or GOOD HDTV signal from Time Warner--very good. (Not all their HDTV signals are good--Direct TV much better. I'll await 4K programming if we can fix one BIG CON!

Cons: Oh boy. After 12 hours, sound when turned anything higher than ultra low is ALL STATIC--everything was working good for the first 12 hours...then STATIC. I tried re-setting, turning it off, etc. I'll await information from the manufacturer. Until I get smething from them, I can't use it for tv viewing unless volume is either no 2 or 3, anything higher--STATIC CITY.

Overall Review: Hoping they can fix it quick! The TV is great picture, 4 HDMI's etc. Pleased with everything else, but no sound without static when I turn it up. ----that's troublesome.

Yamaha receiver

YAMAHA RX-V773WABL 7-Channel AV Receiver with WiFi Adapter

Pros: What a great deal on this Yamaha RX-V773WABL 7.2 channel receiver. Replaced my HDMI troubled Onkyo NX808 and right out of the box sounded better and the picture was better also to my Mitsubishi 3D 7800 Projector. Thanks Newegg and Yamaha---this deal was so good, ny brother (he a tech and audio/video INSTALLER bought one, too!!!

Cons: none yet---quality build and looks. Does have an external WIFI--but this $80 item comes FREE with this product.

iBuypower 942i

iBUYPOWER Desktop PC Gamer Extreme 942i Intel Core i7-860 4GB DDR3 500GB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250 Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
iBUYPOWER Desktop PC Gamer Extreme 942i Intel Core i7-860 4GB DDR3 500GB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250 Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Pros: Manypros, from the i7 Intel 860 to 700 watt power supply. Video card is good, room for more memory, super quiet fans and case, good DVD, what's not to like for this price? Add Windows 7 and the Gigabyte motherboard, everything is pre-installed and iBuypower has a big winner on its hands. Almost bought the 937i with an i5 processor. Glad I waited. Got my 942i from Newegg for the same price the iBuypower 937i i5 sells for elsewhere. Very very pleased.

Cons: Afew updates will make this a real gamer blazer ---but it's good the way it is. I'll add some more memory and an upgraded video card when prices come down --but the NVIDIA GTS 250 will get me there just fine. No real cons.

Overall Review: Buy it, you won't be disappointed. And mine came with the power cord--but if it hadn't, I wouldn't have given a bad rating by any means. I would have used one of my 10 others laying around the house. I just turned it on, added AVG virus protection (kept the windows 7 firewall though for everything to work) and off I went. It's fast.
