FAT32 TO NTFS
Comments: FYI this drive shipped to me FAT32, horrible performance. I finally was able to reformat to NTFS and it performs as I expected.
No Good
Pros: None
Cons: I got this for viewing movies. It requires compression to MP4 with MP3 or DIVX with MP3. I tried the latest Nero 7, Roxio 8 and DVDFab 3.1.4 and none would recode to the requirements this needed to play a non-encrypted DVD set of files. Total waste for me.
For Me Big Dis
Pros: None
Cons: Big neg surprise. I attached this to my Acer 15.6" LED monitor - got 3" more. The Acer screen is the same 1366x768, so the improvement had to come from color, contrast, etc. Sorry to say but the Acer blows away the Sam. I have a recent Sam 46" led tv, love the screen, and thought the monitor would give similar results. If you have not experienced a similar situation as I have, with nothing to compare so closely to, you probably would like this monitor. HOWEVER, I also have another 18.5 Acer monitor attached to a 13" Acer laptop, both LED, and the monitor is a definite improvement. This monitor is virtually the same size as the Samsung and by the way blows away the Samsung. So, there again, it depends on your exposure. As a last shot, the stand on the Samsung completely refused to tighten all the way, allowing it to freely sway. That was the last straw - I disconnected it and went back to the laptop display.
I have had it.
Pros: Zero.
Cons: I bought 5 of these things over the last 6 months and all but one have not contacted with their receiver, like, no mouse pointer whatsoever. Dead. There must be a receiver problem.
Overall Review: Receiver cannot handle more than one mouse? One works - you plug in multiple (2 or 3) and lose mouse pointers? Do I have to put up with this? NO.
