Wacom Techno Cintiq 21UX 21-Inch Interactive Pen Display PC Tablet With Pen and Software Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you're expecting a perfect replacement for pencil and paper then you're bound to be disappointed. The technology is not perfect, but the Cintiq is more intuitive to use than a traditional graphics tablet. I still do most drawing/sketching on paper, but for painting and 3d sculpting, the hands-on approach on the Cintiq is quite welcome. I undo strokes far less and have a better connection with what I'm doing and how it's affecting the image.
If you're a hobbyist then it would be wise to investigate the Intuos or Bamboo line of tablets first. I use both a regular Intuos tablet and the Cintiq at work and home routinely and find they have their strengths for different tasks. Obviously, you can get amazing results with a regular graphics tablet alone and you shouldn't buy the Cintiq with it in mind that it will automagically make you a better artist. However, it helps my productivity and is a refreshing way to work. The benefit to more ably focus on what you're doing rather than how you're doing it is difficult to quantify, but that's what the Cintiq sets out to do and does it well.
A lot is made of the hefty price tag, but considering you get a very large monitor (which, by the way, in terms of visual quality is better than most regular LCD monitors) and built in capabilities of a large graphics tablet, it's not a bad deal. I use it as my primary monitor for general computer usage as well.

Epson PowerLite S1+ Multimedia LCD Video Projector Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When searching for a projector I had the following criteria which the Epson S1+ met.
Low Cost - Best price I found - Amazon - 749.00
Low Noise - Epson S1+ is 33dB
Minimum 800x600 Resolution
Native 4:3 Aspect Ratio
High ANSI Lumens - Epson S1+ is 1400
Decent Contrast Ratio - Epson S1+ is 400:1
Low Cost Bulb replacement ($150-$200)
For the cost, there was no other projector on the market that could compete. I did not want the lower end DLP projectors, due to rainbow effects that can happen. I also wanted a projector that would be cost effective after the initial purchase. The S1+ bulbs can be found for $150.00 to $200.00, compared to $350-$400 for competitors. BTW: This unit will be used in a small church for Sunday services and cost was a big factor when investing and researching bulb replacement costs.
How does it work?
We get a great image for our church service with full house lights on, this projector is brilliant. Very, low noise. Most of the time it is used with PowerPoint presentations, but it also does a great job with DVD projection.
Image Size?
This unit projects a BIG image from a short distance, if you need a large picture, but do not have the space...this may be the projector for you.
Quality?
I am really impressed with the fit, finish and quality of the Epson projector and will be purchasing the Powerlite Home 10+ for my home theater.
How does it compare?
I have an Infocus X2 and and NEC VT470 projector and I would take the Epson S1+ over either one of these any day.

With a footprint of just 14.6 by 10.4 inches, the S1+ sets up on nearly any convenient surface and weighs just 7 pounds, making transportation painless. An SVGA native resolution of 800 x 600 ensures that projected images retain their clarity even at great distances, while 24-bit color support of over 16.7 million shades results in accurate, true-to-life images.

A monitor out capability lets you display images on both the projected screen and on a monitor simultaneously, and compatibility with both PC and Mac operating systems ensures that your presentations a snap to set up, no matter which platform you're offered. The 500:1 contrast ratio provides sharp detail, and 1,400 ANSI lumens of brightness results in projections that are easy to see from anywhere in the room. The 130-watt UHE lamp provides over 2,000 hours of lamp life, while the internal power supply consumes 200 watts during normal operation and just 5 watts in standby mode.

The S1+ has a variable aspect ratio of either 4:3 or 16:9 and an adjustable projection screen size of 30 to 300 inches. The digital zoom/manual focus lens has an F-number of 1.4 and an f-number range of 16.6mm, which combine with digital keystone correction of plus or minus 15 degrees to help achieve accurate, in-focus projections across the entirety of the image.

LEXMARK REMAN LEX X7550 13R0231 - 13R0231 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)we received this printer as a gift, brand new. it was the perfect choice: we needed a multifunction printer to use with multiple computers. wireless connectivity definitely delivers! we had no problem setting up the computers with the included cd. the print quality was very good as well, taking care of every job we gave it.
however, the ink that came with the printer ran out within a few weeks. a few weeks! we had some big print jobs coming up, and needed the reliability of a big cartridge, so we bought the 44XL black cart. again, in just over a month, the printer said that it was getting low on ink. liar! after that message, it reliably shot out another 200 pages! to my dismay, it reminded me that we were almost out of ink before each print job; we were forced to hit ok on the printer, otherwise it would not start.
looking for a replacement cartridge after it finally kicked the bucket, i decided it might be an adventure to try and refill the cartridge. its cheaper, similar quality ink, and very economical. the refill process was no problem at all, it was the printer that gave me trouble. when i re-inserted the "empty" cartridge, it exclaimed that lexmark cannot be held liable for non-lexmark inks. ok, so they are on to me, fine. now, i have to hit ok TWICE before each print job, once for the liability page, and once for the out of ink page! it also gives a message on my computer saying that we are out of ink and should order more from the lexmark website (yeah right). it still prints with the same quality, its just very annoying to not be able to refill your own cartridges, or even buy certified refilled cartridges!
overall, the experience is fine. we got used to hitting ok on the printer to let the job though, and the print quality is still great. in the future, i would probably purchase a more user-friendly printer and simply attach a wireless print server.

InFocus LP120 Mobile DLP Video Projector Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Wow, should have read the Amazon reviews before buying. I signed up to write a review with Amazon just because this product has caused me so much frustration. I have had a compact Optoma project that has been wonderful for the past four years. I bought this because it was even smaller. What a contrast! The projector failed the first day. Received a message saying "Lamp Did Not Strike" ?? After following directions and checking the lamp door and reseating the lamp, same message. This is my third time trying to get through to customer service. The first two times I was on hold for an hour before having to leave. So far it's been 45 minutes...
(I'm never buying Infocus again. Back to Optoma...)

At about the same size and weight as a carton of cigarettes, the InFocus LP120 Mobile DLP Video Projector is working to redefine what it means to be a portable digital projector. Weighing less than two pounds, this ultrahip, ultrapowerful projector packs a full punch into its space-age magnesium frame, so you'll never have to sacrifice features for mobility. And since the LP120 is designed to tuck into your briefcase alongside your laptop, taking your show on the road has never been so easy.DLP Technology: Superb Imaging and Convenience The LP120 relies on DLP, or digital imaging, technology from Texas Instruments. DLP is entirely digital, which means that you'll never experience image degradation or "yellowing"--better known as color decay--that other imaging technologies experience over time.Projectors based on DLP technology are fully compatible with digital signals--with no analog conversion necessary--making them compatible with everything from digital cameras to gaming consoles. The Digital Micromirror Device that forms the heart of DLP technology is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, giving DLP the advantage of being extremely portable. Portability is LP120's first, middle and last names. At a mere 2.05 by 3.69 by 9.75 inches (H by L by W), this is one of the smallest video projectors on the market today. But don't let its diminutive size fool you. The LP120 is an XGA (1024 x 768) resolution projector that produces 1100 ANSI lumens of brightness at a contrast ratio of 2000:1 and can project at a range of about 4.5 to 14 feet. The native XGA resolution will give your presentations clear, full-screen details, and its optical zoom lens will let you adjust the picture without moving the project. Ideal for small-room or conference table presentations, the projector operates at a volume of 36 decibels, more than quiet enough for small areas. The LP120 features an extended DVI port and an S-Video input, as well as a 3.5-millimeter socket for audio input for sound projection through the unit's built-in one-watt speaker. The main input carries a USB connection in addition to the video inputs, and the standard cable that's included connects to a VGA connector and a USB port. The USB connection allows you to use the projector's remote control with the host PC. The remote control that comes with the projector has forward and back buttons for presentations, a status button, and a red laser pointer. The projector's top panel controls are backlit for ease of use during presentations, and its color-coded ports make setup a breeze. In short, if you are looking for portability and convenience in your next digital project, then look no further than the InFocus LP120. Smaller than nearly every other digital projector on the market today, the LP120 will help your road shows and presentations shine with brilliance while keeping your travel bags nice and light.

Sony VRDMC5 DVDirect DVD Recorder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Okay - I love this item for what it can NOW do for me and how EASILY it finally ended up doing it. I gave it four instead of five stars because of what I had to DO to get it to work the way I needed it to.
I have fourteen years - wedding, holidays and 3 children - worth of Video Cassettes ranging from 1994 - Sony, HG120, NTSC, Video 8 tapes TO 2008 - Sony, Hi8MP Digital 8 tapes.
My old camera was a Sony and the current camera is also a Sony: Steady Shot Digital 8, Model DCR-TRV460.
The Sony VRD MC5 DV Direct DVID Recorder I have can, and NOW DOES, burn DVDs from my Sony Handycam with both types of tapes via a Sony DV Direct Cable. However - it did not, out of the box, purchased in December 2007, burn my old tape formats to DVD with Audio. The Audio was gone and I could not get it to burn!
I had to waste about ten DVDs trying to figure out what the heck I did wrong. I scoured the manual, I bought two types of DVDs, looked here on Amazon, went to the Sony site. NOTHING on WHY the audio was missing!
When I finally found a way to contact Sony - live chat did not work and I could not get anyone on the phone - via email they went back and forth with me in email telling me that the Software Version on the Recorder had to be updated. They gave me a link that I could not find by navigating the site on my own, thus needing their intervention. I found the download, and followed directions, I tried burning the file to CD in many different ways and STILL the software would not upgrade! They never called me or gave me a number, it took days to try to figure out what was happening and they finally told me how to call someone.
I did it again while I was on the phone with them. Still the Recorder did not recognize the CD I was burning or the file I downloaded from the site. They made me call back, I was transferred twice, someone took my info and it took from 1/11/08 to 1/22/08 to get a CD that they burned at Sony and shipped to me.
I just came up today, followed the very same directions just with their CD and the software upgraded without a hitch. I just burned a tape from 1994 and the audio is there!!
After spending three years and more than $700 in software for my computer, a DVD Burner for my computer and finally a standalone Sony VHS/Camera player and VHS/DVD burner but none, and I do mean NONE of them - were able to do the job. Even the standalone unit never consistenly burned quality DVDs from the Camera and you had to tie up your tv for hours while it burned to DVD only for the "finalization" of it to not "take" so you had an empty DVD which was not R/W. Waste of time!
Please note that I am a technical person so not ignorant. I am just short on time so I wanted something that would get all my old moves onto DVD with a PHD - Push Here Dummy - functionality and the Sony VRD MC5 device did it.
The struggles, aggravation, wasted time it took me to get to today were worth it but PUH-LEASE Sony. Get a grip and put the information out there. Be proactive! Make it available! Communicate! Tell the vendors that sell your product what they are going to have to tell their shoppers do to get it to work. Update your manual. Whatever you have to do - no consumer should have to hunt like I did for weeks to try to find a way to fix something Sony knew about when they shipped the devices.

Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just got the Logitech G15 Gaming keyboard yesterday, and overall I'm impressed by the flexibility and potential it offers. However, don't let the attractive design of the keyboard and the sweet looking LCD screen you see in the pictures fool you. The real draw of the G15 can all be found on the left side of the keyboard.
The best feature of this keyboard really isn't the LCD display, but its capability to create keyboard macros. The G15 features 18 additional "G" keys on the left hand side of the keyboard, which are completely customizable to playback complicated sequences of keystrokes (i.e. macros) for whatever game or Windows application you might have. These 18 keys can each be reassigned under three different "M" keyboard maps, giving you the capability to assign 3 different macros on one G key. Think of these keys as a hardware version of Keyboard Express built into your keyboard--only the macros are "hard-wired" to specific applications, i.e., the macros only work once an application you assign to it is running on your PC. In a nutshell you a) launch the included G-Series Keyboard Profiler software, b) name and assign a macro to a specific executable program, and then c) record the keystrokes to the macro. Only after you run the designated program the macro becomes available for use.
Logitech included premade profiles for Battlefield 2 and Star Wars Battlefront in its Profiler software. As you might imagine these profiles contain some basic prebuilt macros assigned to G-Keys for those specific games, giving your keyboard some added functionality. As for the Profiler software itself--it isn't all that flashy, but contains some great tutorials to get you started. It isn't rocket science creating macros on this keyboard, but it isn't clear-cut easy either. Going through the help tutorials in the included software is a good idea. If you're not at all interested in reading, it's also pretty simple to create a macro on the fly using the Quick Macro function--just hit the MR record key, choose a G key, enter your keystrokes, then hit the MR key to stop recording. It's very simple to create macros on the fly this way.
The G Keys can also be assigned to general apps under the standard profile--default web browser, calculator, email program, My Computer, and default media player. So in essence it retains the functionality of Logitech's other keyboard, the Media Keyboard Elite.
The LCD display is a whole lot less useful than the G Keys. In the normal Windows environment it provides very basic information--one display option gives you a basic clock with hands along with the digital time and date. Another option gives you the current CPU and RAM usage in a percentage bar. It will also display basic information about the file you are playing in your default media player. Apparently you are able to use the LCD display within games, but according to the help software the game must come with "LCD support". So, ultimately (out of the box at least) the LCD isn't very useful or helpful. It's a very basic display, as well -- not too much different from the $5 LCD alarm clocks you can buy at the Jewelry section at your local Target.
The G15 has some other noteworthy features-more specifically backlit keys for late night play, 2 additional USB ports, and full media player controls. The backlit keys give a pretty nice blue glow to the keys and two brightness settings are available. The LCD screen becomes backlit along with the keys as well. The two USB ports are a disappointment from my experience. I could not connect my Motorola MPX220 cell phone to my PC through the ports on the keyboard--Windows kicked back a message that the port did not have enough power to support the device. The keyboard also features a cable management system (which are actually just wire channels under the keyboard) to prevent cable clutter. Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done.
Ergonomically the keyboard is pretty standard fare for Logitech. The keys themselves are slightly smaller than in the Media Keyboard Elite, but really no less comfortable. They also give about the same tactile response as in other Logitech keyboards. One thing to keep in mind is that this keyboard, with its additional G keys and flip up LCD display, is on the big side, so it may not fit on your keyboard drawer with the LCD display in the open position. The keyboard itself is about 21 1/2"L x 8 1/2"D x 3 1/2" H with the feet up and the LCD monitor flipped open.
Overall I can't help but feel "suckered into" buying this keyboard by looking at its sleek design and LCD. I expected a lot more functionality from the LCD display out of the box. However, I am satisfied with the overall flexibility the G15 offers. So ultimately the true beauty of the G15 lies beneath the surface.

USA Security Store -- CCTV R401W500G 4 Channel CH Camera Security Surveillance Monitoring System DVR Digital Video Recorder, Play Back, Motion Detect USB Back Up 500GB Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)They make it sound so good but the software sucks, especially the record schedule setup and the usb backup process. The motion detection of the unit sucks too. The manual is no help, you have to guess at what the Chinese English is trying to tell you. I purchased a recommended 8 gig USB stick for the backup and the system only recognised it the first time. It took over 45 minutes to backup about 9 hours and when I put it in my pc and ran their file viewer software, all i had was 4 blue boxes and about 4 minutes of video. Since then all I get are messages saying the file size is too big (even though it's way less than 8gig) or fail to read file system. Reformating didn't solve anything. I'm so fed up. I want to drop kick this thing all the way back to china!!
Oh, btw, there's no way to remove the files from the HDD either. The system settings for 'disk full' is, stop recording OR overwrite files. What kind of crap is that?

Besta CD-637P: Two Way English - Chinese Sentence Translation Electronic Dictionary (Voice: Mandarin/Cantonese/English/Japanese) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Besta CD-637: English Chinese Sentence Translation Electronic Dictionary (Voice: Mandarin/Cantonese/English/Japanese)
I was disappointed with the Pinyin input for this product. It is basically a single character mode pinyin input, i.e. it won't accept whole word or partial phrase entries like the Microsoft or Google pinyin input tools. So if you start typing "xuyao" (for the word "to need") it will halt after the "xu" and force you to select a character before moving on the the rest of the word. Accepting whole word or even phrase level input would limit the context to a few characters, aiding a non-Chinese speaker.
The handwriting input seemed to work pretty good, but most beginning Chinese learners are not going to be using this as their primary input method.
The Chinese pronunciation didn't make use of common rules like tone Sandhi, so the resulting voice output was very stilted and incorrect.
In general the device seemed to be much geared toward a Chinese-speaker learning English, which is not surprising. It won't be very useful for my needs though.

Canon Selphy CP760 Pink Compact Photo Printer (3255B001) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you are looking for a photo printer that is convenient basic and easy to use...you cannot go wrong here! The photos print out quickly and are great quality. The printer comes with some paper & ink however if you want to print more then a few you'll need to buy additional paper & ink...which is somewhat of a pain but is honestly to be expected. It's a great addition to any house with families or those who like to take pictures. The best part is you just stick your memory card in the slot and print. No more uploading and sending them off to pick them up an hour later or have them mailed to your house! You cannot go wrong on this printer for the price!!

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bottom-Line: The Dell "XPS-One" is a high performance workhorse that will more than meets my current computing needs and future computer needs; I swear.
Anyone in my household will attest that I do not need yet another PC. They would undoubtedly argue that the house is overflowing with PC's of every size and description. They would be partially right, the house has a considerable number of PC's, but they all serve a purpose, and let's face it I make my living from "playing" with PC's. So when my favorite software company released a new version of their back-up solution, one that could be ideal for my client-base, I had to try it out. Problem: it requires a stand-alone server and I had none available. So rather than buy a new server platform I decided to re-purpose my primary desktop and purchase a new. After much internal debate, I choose the "Dell XPS-One Desktop PC."
Like I stated above I spent a considerable amount of time debating about what kind of system to get, but in the end I decided that I was tired of the big bulky desktop and I wanted something more streamline instead. Streamline, but powerful and with all of the flexibility (or close to it) of a traditional tower-type PC. The "Dell XPS-One" comes closer than any other all-n-one computer I researched, even the vaunted Apple iMac. Dell engineered the PC around a beautiful 20" diagonal active matrix digital flat screen display, with Intel's newest Core Duo 64-bit processors /w a whopping 4MB of L2 cache.
Packed into the rear of the display is a 320GB SATA-II hard drive, 2GB DDR2 dual channel memory, DVD/RW drive, and an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400 video card. Dell shipped my "XPS-One" with Microsoft Vista Home Premium; I wanted Vista Ultimate but that was not a configurable choice. In fact very little about the XPS-One can be configured; the systems are all pre-built for quick shipment. In fact I got my system a scan two days after I ordered it!

Dell designed the "XPS-One" for the home user as an entry-level media-center computer. There are a total of (6) USB 2.0 ports on the XPS-One; four on the back of the unit, and two on the left side of the display where the speakers are installed. There is also one Firewire port on the back as well as an RJ-45 port and an s-video port. A small webcam sits on top of the display.
The coolest features of the "XPS-One" are the multi-media controls that line the lower right hand side of the display. They are touch sensitive; just wave your hand in front of them and they light up in a pretty blue that is easy to see against the black background of the display. To the right of them sits the lone DVD/CD player, which lights up in a semi-circle blue when I disk is inserted.
Another "cool" feature of the "XPS-One" is the wireless keyboard and mouse that ship with the computer. I like to look and feel of the keyboard, which has an on/off switch and highly functional keypad. The wireless mouse--a Logitech--is responsive, but far too basic for my tastes. The transceiver for both units in hidden inside the computer, so one of the USB ports is not taken up.
Software
In addition to Windows Vista Home Premium, Dell for includes a 15-month subscription to Symantec's Norton Protection Center, which includes antivirus, inbound firewall, anti-spam, and privacy protection. Other software titles include: Microsoft Office Home & Student 2007, Roxio Creator & My DVD 9.0 DE, Adobe Elements Studio, and Adobe Photo Elements 6.0. This is in addition to a bevy of other useless, space-wasting software that I quickly removed.
CD-ROM and or DVD media is included with the computer, making re-installation easy. And yes the Windows Vista software is also in the box!
First Impressions:
I am in love with my new Dell XPS-One! Yes, all you iMac users out there, the folks in the PC world are cable of building a stable and user friendly computer every bit as fun as an Apple. Despite what might think of Windows Vista, the OS is stable and well-behaving on the right hardware platform. I can hear the snickers from the Mac crowd and I understand your derision, but Vista has it good points.
The "XPS-One" is a good compromise between size and performance. The 20" display gives me plenty of room--I now have no problem fitting two applications on the desktop side-by-side for instance--and fits nicely on my desk.
Upgrades
Both the hard drive and memory in the "XPS-One" can be upgraded. The back cover can be removed by lying the unit down on its face and removing to retaining screws on the bottom. The "XPS-One" will take a total of 4GB of RAM in two slots; I checked before I purchased the unit and addition RAM can be had at Crucial.com or Kingston.com for a fair price. The computer can be fitted with DDR2 SDRAM @ 667MHz or 800MHz.
Conclusion:
The Dell "XPS-One" all-n-one computer is powerful home workstation that is more than adequate for Windows Vista and Media Center duties, and is fitting replacement for my now re-purposed desktop tower computer. Though a tad expensive, the "XPS-One" is wonderfully engineered, attractive (love the smoky glass base) and easy to master. And despite the rather mundane sounding speakers, I love the fact I no longer have to have my former space-hogging Altec Langsing's on and under my desk.
The Dell "XPS-One" is a high performance workhorse that will more than meets my current computing needs and future computer needs; I swear.

Epson Stylus Photo RX600 Inkjet All-in-One Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This unit can do it all (except fax). The software is a dream compared to the HP2150 I returned in order to get this. I got the HP because it had built in wireless/ethernet print server and a fax. But the software bundle is all or nothing, they didn't separate out the printer driver...so anyone who wants to just print on the thing must first install 1.5gb (thats GIGabytes) of crap the infects your registry like a cancer. This Epson RX600's software is a dream. They separated everything! Just want to print occasional black and white like me, driver is just 8mb. Want everything and do photo touchups and crazy things and photo albums and scan (like my wife) - just put in the cd and add what you want one app at a time. That's why we went with this printer and returned the HP. Also, one more plus is that the RX600 scans old negatives and can print them perfectly or digitize them for you forever - the HP can't. I LOVE this feature (and yes, it's a combo of mechanical and software differences that achieve this, I dare you to try on another machine). I do miss the HP's built in print server. I bought a Linksys Wireless-G for USB2.0, and it won't work with this printer. Epson wrote me back and confirmed this. This is why I docked this review by a star. You MUST be able to run your printers from a print server. My 4 year old HPLaserJet3150 hooked up no problem, but my new Epson fails? That sucks, and if my wife didn't love this so much, I would send it back strictly for that reason. I do like how it's USB 2.0, it is fast. Separate color tanks (...)are sweet, not like HP where if blue runs out, you're forced to buy all other colors again. This has 6 color tanks all independently replaceable. Nice.
PROS: USB2.0, individual color tanks, scan negatives,LCD screen, front loading usb input for cameras, built in card reader on the front,great b/w quality, killer photo print quality, minimal/incremental/customizable software/driver install (extremely flexible and lightweight)
CONS: doesn't work w/ LinkSys print servers

Sylvania LC200SL8 20-Inch LCD EDTV with Built In Tuner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Right now in the electronics industry, many of us are going to have to purchase a brand new television. Although for a lot of us, we don't know why, but if we don't we can't watch our shows. In a couple of years, we will be watching televisions shows in High Definition. Although it might be expensive, there are inexpensive choices instead. Sylvania knows that feeling. With SDTV's, EDTV's, and HDTV's, in can be confusing. Not just that, it also can be very much a huge pinch from our wallets. Fortunately, you can buy one that is simple, with all the convience of your everyday needs, and this is one of those.
The Sylvania LC200SL8 is a LCD 20 inch television that is inexpensive from the company, but convient in price. At nearly 15 pounds in weight, this television is sleek and easy to setup and works like a charm. It is easy to connect your video game systems like the Xbox 360, your DVD player, or your converter box for all your cable needs. You can also view HD programming at a smaller resoultion. Although to some it might be a hastle to some, it isn't much of a problem. It is very easy to operate and the display is absolutely beautiful on all your favorite movies and television shows. You can also view programs in 16x9 widescreen or the traditional 4x3 aspect ration with the new ATSC tuner. There is one disadvantage though, the instruction booklet could've been a bit easier to help those who have a hard time setting up televisions, but it isn't a big deal.
All in all, if you get a DTV, digital television some time soon, I definitely recommend Sylvania a whole lot because they bring out a lot for anyone at a convient price. It is inexpensive and delivers well for anyone looking for a new television. This television is really worth it.

Northwestern Bell 2.4 GHz Large-Button Cordless Phone with Call Waiting Caller ID (36070/36070-1) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The product was exactly as described, met my needs perfectly, price was reasonable, delivery time was fantastic. I must've shopped at least 8 or 10 stores on foot - nobody had what I needed. I guess nobody else thinks of the elderly trying to use a cordless phone with those teeny-tiny little buttons. The buttons are also light-up, marked very boldly, and they have braille. Also the entire unit is larger than your average cordless unit - very comfortable and secure in an older, arthritic hand. It also vibrates and lights up very nearly like a pinball machine when it rings - all excellent qualities for an older person. Great product!

Photosmart C4700 All-in-One Wireless Printer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've never had more problems with a product than I've had with the HP Photosmart C4780 wireless All-in-One printer. From the three hours we spent attempting to install and wirelessly connect it to two computers, to the half dozen times over the past three weeks when it's simply chosen not to print when asked, this product has been nothing but an incredible frustration and waste of money. Even HP support couldn't solve the problem. I've owned it no more than three weeks and have spent nearly as many hours on the phone with support. Every time we hit "print" we hope it's in the mood to do so, but it rarely works out. Don't waste your money.

Panasonic KX-TG2770S 2.4 GHz DSS Expandable Cordless Phone with Digital Answering System and Corded Base-Handset Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this Panasonic product to replace a Sony corded/cordless combination phone when the cordless went south. I had some trepidation about the Panasonic product because I have heard of the high return rate at the local electronic stores. I have used this phone and 4 additional expansion phones for about a month and I must say this is the best sound quality I have heard from a 2.4 GHz system. In fact, the best sound quality from any cordless I've used! I really like the speaker phone on the cordless: great for when calling those automated systems and get put on hold forever! The messages can be checked from the cordless units, and with the caller ID function, you can review who called and send the number to be stored in the directory (memory)! Lots of features to justify the price. The only recomendation I have for Panasonic is to include the capability to delete messages from the handsets. I also recommend the cordless expansion unit with the built in alarm clock. Works great and looks good too. One small unit takes the place of two in the bedroom. Overall, a really great system and I have not experienced any problems in the first month of using them. The phones can be found cheaper at E-tronics however.

The fully digital answering machine has a 15-minute maximum record time with a selectable one or three-minute maximum message length, while up to three mailboxes are provided to help organize messages.

The Ni-CD battery provides up to 4.5 hours of talk time, and up to 11 days of standby, while an intercom function allows users to communicate with others in the home or office. A low-battery indicator lets you know when to return the handset to its cradle, while the page function makes finding a lost handset quick and painless.
The KX-TG2770S is headset compatible and comes with a speakerphone button on both the base and handset, providing hands-free operation and saving your neck from the strain of cradling the phone. The KX-TG2770S also comes backed with a one-year parts and labor warranty.
