Good, But

GIGABYTE GA-880GMA-UD2H AM3 AMD 880G USB 3.0 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-880GMA-UD2H AM3 AMD 880G USB 3.0 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Everything works, except video problem

Cons: I have a 27" monitor, and I kept getting Infinite Loop error messages. AMD has no answers. Finally I purchased an Asus ENGT430 video card with Nvidia chip and 1 GB DDR3 memory. Now everything works as it should. Had to update Nvidia drivers from their website for HD Audio.

Overall Review: I probably would have purchased a different MB if I knew about the video problem.

Works, but....

BYTECC Model BT-DB925 6 FT USB to DB9 Serial Adapter, provides the connection between USB and RS-232 port Male to Male
BYTECC Model BT-DB925 6 FT USB to DB9 Serial Adapter, provides the connection between USB and RS-232 port Male to Male

Pros: It does work

Cons: The supplied disk is useless. The downloaded drivers and 15 page downloaded instructions are useless. However there is a new set of instructions and a new driver on www.byteccuse.com The second time it worked. I am satisfied with the product, but I would not buy another. Too much work!!! Unless you are good with computers and patient I would not recommend it.

It works

Peerless ST650P 37"-75" Tilt TV Wall Mount LED & LCD HDTV up to VESA 700x400 max load 175 lbs, Compatible with Samsung, Vizio, Sony, Panasonic, LG, and Toshiba TV
Peerless ST650P 37"-75" Tilt TV Wall Mount LED & LCD HDTV up to VESA 700x400 max load 175 lbs, Compatible with Samsung, Vizio, Sony, Panasonic, LG, and Toshiba TV

Pros: It does mount TV to Wall.

Cons: The directions say that the adjustment lever must be vertical prior to hanger the TV. That is because if not vertical it obstructs the TV from mounting. So, you better have the TV angle set perfectly prior to mounting unless you like hanging removing and rehanging. There also is a quickset feature, but when hanging the screws do not align with the holes. My solution was to make a 3 inch long by 1 inch "L" out of 6 guage bare copper wire, so that I could set the TV to the angle I wanted and then stick the created device into the holes in the bracket on either side of the TV. It works great, but one should not have to make custom parts.

SAMSUNG P2770HD Rose Black 27" 5ms Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 DC 50,000:1(1000:1) Built-in HDTV Tuner & Speakers
SAMSUNG P2770HD Rose Black 27" 5ms Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 DC 50,000:1(1000:1) Built-in HDTV Tuner & Speakers

Pros: It works.

Cons: It only has 1 HDMI port. Changing ports requires repeatedly pushing Remote button, which is annoying when switching from PC to TV.

Overall Review: Samsung has a leaking capacitor problem that shows up just about after their warrantee expires. Worse they have a really bad attitude about it. I even wrote the president of Samsung, who - of course - ignored me. I bought this product before finding out what kind of a company Samsung really is. I will never buy another product of theirs.

Watch Out

Samsung 46" 1080p 60Hz LCD HDTV
Samsung 46" 1080p 60Hz LCD HDTV

Pros: I purchase the previous version of this TV. It had an excellent picture.

Cons: After 2 years the picture has pink dots all over it. After calling Samsung customer service, their attitude is too bad, it is out of warrantee. Worse, complaints are all over the Internet about the same problem. The cost of repair is over $300. I am buying a new TV, and it WILL NOT be Samsung.

Overall Review: I called custimer service 8 times and talked to 8 people. They are well trained to very politely tell their customers where to go.

Not Good

RCA RP5640 Digital AM/FM CD Clock Radio
RCA RP5640 Digital AM/FM CD Clock Radio

Pros: It worked for 6 months.

Cons: The problem with this radio is with the CD door mechanism. The gear spindles are made of cheap plastic and after just so many openings and closing the spindle breaks the gears jam and the door malfunctions

Overall Review: The speakers look good, but really they are miniture. I would not recommend this radio to anyone.
