Pros: Incredible viewing angle, great colors and contrast

Cons: Sound just OK and about on par with most sets now

Overall Review: I did a lot of research on a good 47" set, and this one came out on top for price and performance. What really blew me away was the viewing angle. Viewing angle is really important to me as I use the set in a large room with some viewers off to the side, and I just hate it when people's faces wash out and look "pasty". I looked at this set at a major retailer and as I moved to the side I could not see the faces getting "pasty" as they did on all the other sets, including expensive sets from the other Korean guys. This set is sleek, and nobody has a better picture in my opinion. If getting a viewing angle as good as Plasma is important to you, then this is a "must have HDTV"!

Pros: Seems fast and it installed with no problems

Cons: noisy

Overall Review: I have owned many drives in my lifetime and this is one of the noisiest ones I have ever had. Otherwise, performance is just fine, but you can sure hear this baby when it reads and writes.

Pros: When you actually get it to work, it makes decent scans Works with Windows 8.1 Nice assortment of holders for slides and negatives Pretty quiet compared to my Nikon Coolscan 5000

Cons: HP software VERY poor Scanning at high resolution is painfully slow Strange issues with the IR dust removal (see below)

Overall Review: Don't waste your time with the buggy and poor quality HP software. Get VueScan Pro and you will be happy. After much tinkering, I am able to scan negatives and get good results, although it takes a lot of time at a decent resolution. Also, I am observing what appears to be a shadow effect caused by the IR dust removal. You see the dust spec, then you see its shadow. Saw this at 4800 dpi, but not 2400. Strange, but then again, almost any settings I used seemed to provide different results and behaviors such as this. I settled on a format of scanning 120 format negatives at 2400 dpi as Images (not negatives!) in VueScan with only light IR dust removal. These are saved as DNG raw files and then reprocessed in a second very quick step by VueScan into positive DNG Raw files using the film profiles built into VueScan. Then I go to Lightroom 5 with the reprocessed DNG files. This works very well with only minor tweaks required by Lightroom to give stunning results. You would not believe the sharpness from my 120 negatives shot on Kodak Ektar 25 Pro!

Pros: Easy to install and it works. Getting a far better signal to a remote room than my wifi alone can do.

Cons: Seems like the speed drops off the farther away you are from the source device. If the two adapters are in the same room, then you get the full 80 Mbps, but if you are about two rooms away it drops to "amber" which is <50 Mbps, which is still OK, but I am not sure I would have sprung for the 500 version if I knew it was so distance dependent.

Pros: Posted a review a few weeks back and gave it a low rating because of a big defect HP should have seen before shipping it. Now I am satisfied as I have a pefect one. Those trashing this unit because of antiglare are fools. The display is sharp and text is crisp and almost looks like ink on paper. Wonder if these folks work for the competition?

Cons: To get wide color gamut you need a 10 bit card.

Pros: Great form factor and speedy once you get rid of the extra junk software on there that slows it down. Connected flawlessly to my home theater setup and network. Also, you cannot hear it! Quiet as a laptop.

Cons: People have trashed the keypad in other reviews, so I went out and got an ioGear one and did not bother with it.

Overall Review: I bought this to do Skype on my Home Theater. My other option was either the Skype-enabled Sony Blu-ray (VERY EXPENSIVE) or the Panasonic blu-ray which forces you to buy their poor quality and expensive camera. Reviews of those blu-ray Skype systems has been poor, so I decided to buy something I knew would work, and this did. Hooked up a Logitech 9100 and I have an awesome video conferencing system via Skype! Don't go the Blu-ray route unless you want to be frustrated!
