Most Favorable Review

Projector

EPSON V11H285620-N 720P 3LCD Home Cinema 700 Projector 2000 lumens 2000:1
EPSON V11H285620-N 720P 3LCD Home Cinema 700 Projector 2000 lumens 2000:1

Pros: Looks Great, Relatively Bright, does 720. *Has HDMI, even though details doesn't state so. Projector is light weight and has a shield for the lense. Comes with an analog to RCA adapter. 90 day bulb warranty.

Cons: seems to get really hot, therefore could limit the life of the unit. Since it's so hot the fan must run frequent and loud. Just my opinion it's ugly and white (therefore can get marked/stained easy)

Overall Review: For me it seems too loud for a home theater, but I'm not using it for that

Most Critical Review

HP Printer

HP LaserJet P2055dn CE459A Workgroup Up to 35 ppm Monochrome Ethernet (RJ-45) / USB Laser Printer
HP LaserJet P2055dn CE459A Workgroup Up to 35 ppm Monochrome Ethernet (RJ-45) / USB Laser Printer

Pros: Works well in the time period it works. Allows longer lasting X toner cartridge.

Cons: HP makes these to be disposable, rubbers and internals go pretty quick (6-12 Months)

Overall Review: I print labels and heavy cardstock with these guys, and it wears out pretty quickly. I'm sure printing normal paper will extend the life of the printer. I think the 2035 is a better buy since they practically the same & it's cheaper.

Not Good Enough

VIZIO VTAB1008-B 8" Refurbished Tablet
VIZIO VTAB1008-B 8" Refurbished Tablet

Pros: I think just about the perfect size, comes with a case. Android 2.3 based, remote control feature is really cool.

Cons: The UI is unusable to me, it's practically text based. Widget screen seems counter intuitive. Processor gets very slow especially with 3rd party launchers, and most apps. Overall not a good purchase. Root is very difficult.

Overall Review: I don't think I'd get this instead of a kindle fire or another cheaper tablet, doesn't seem worth it to me. I wish they didn't cripple it (like most manufacturers do) by adding their own custom UI, android ui is good enough.

Update

Galaxy 56NGH6HS4IXZ GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) GC 1GB 256-bit DDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
Galaxy 56NGH6HS4IXZ GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) GC 1GB 256-bit DDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: It works while well while it works, I posted a positive review before I experienced these problems.

Cons: Around or after the 6 month mark I started to fail POSTing too, little to be done got a RMA went quick once I got to actually ship it then received another that did the same thing and asked me for "proof" of the bad card. Now they're trying to get me free shipping. Galaxy Support is pretty much an all email system, they back to you pretty slowly.

Overall Review: Beware when buying this card or a card like it. I will probably stay away from Galaxy here on.

Pros: card works well, while it works.

Cons: the card refused to POST on 2 different computers with 2 diff psu's after 6 months. Hopefully it not a problem with their line but something to notice.

Overall Review: otherwise a good card, a card 6 months old shouldn't just die like that, make's me think it's low quality?

MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC WD-60638 60" 16:9 Black DLP Technology 3D Ready 1080p HDTV

Pros: lots, and lots of real estate. a great deal bigger than a 50" TV, good picture, internet "capable"

Cons: bulb makes a high pitched noise when starting up. Takes a minute to start/shut off. Picture quality is not nearly as good a plasma, can notice the plastic screen, "swiggles". Off axis viewing is really noticeable, as little as 15 deg. (up, down, left, right) darker spots, etc.

Overall Review: my wifi adapters (5 different USB) didn't work, not supposed to but thought I'd try
