Description
This past Saturday, we finally put our old CRT Samsung monitor out to pasture. It was taking up too much room on the small cubicle that we had the computer system set up on and we were looking for a change. So as usual my family put me in charge and I found a beautiful LG 22 widescreen monitor that I thought would do the job.
When I got it home it was a very easy setup, put the base together with a few snaps, click in the monitor, connect the power and cpu cords and wham, bam, it was up and running. The color is simply amazing the way it pops off the screen. Being able to enjoy writing a paper now and not having to squint or see blurry eyed is truly something I welcome.
The monitor also does have sleepy mode, when not in use it will go into standbye mode to conserve energy. Overall a great buy.

HP Officejet Pro L7580 Color All-in-One
First to recommend
Description
I bought this Officejet printer about a month ago to replace the aging one in our household our HP Officejet G85. While I was at my part-time job the HP rep informed me that a printer had gone clearance and that I should pick it up. I told him the main feature it had to do was be able to "talk" with my laptop so I could print without wires between. He told me it would do the job so I bought it that day.
When I got it home I waited about a week to set it up. It was a bit wider than my older model so we had to modify the computer desk aka Tear a piece out and then I was able to put the new printer in it's place and connect it to my router. The set-up in regards to software was a piece of cake. I didn't have any issues putting the software on my desk which is running XP or my laptop which is running Vista. The new HP printer did come with 3 different Software discs (Windows XP, Windows Vista, and MAC) which REALLY in my opinion was great.
After the software was up and running I tested out the new printer and it worked like a champ. The real success story was making sure my laptop would be able to talk to with. So after loading up the software on my HP dv9000 series laptop. I did a test, went down stairs and it was waiting for me:)
I also want to note that the printing speed is VERY fast. It was able to spit out 10 page paper under 3 minutes and that's including a color photo. The faxing feature is also very easy to understand. It loads the paper horizontally on top lid unlike my old printer where it loaded vertically.
Photo quality is very good in my opnion. The cartridges are suppose to last for a VERY long time. IT can do different types of paper sizes.
Supported paper sizes: Letter, legal, statement, executive, 3 x 5 in, 4 x 6 in, 5 x 7 in, 5 x 8 in, 4 x 10 in, 4 x 11 in, 4 x 12 in, 8 x 10 in, envelopes (No. 10, Monarch, DL).
Also has slots in the lower right hand corner take different styles of memory sticks: CompactFlash, MagicGate Memory Stick, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick PRO, SD/MMC, Secure MMC, xD-Picture Card
Overall if you need a nice fax machine, strong enough to do the job at home this is my pick.

Bose On-Ear Headphones

Description
Excellent pair of headphones that I use on my Sony PSP, Nintendo DS Lite, and even my Samsung T10 mp3 player. They are price a bit steep I will say but they are worth the money. They can collapse into a case that comes included with the headphones. One major gripe I normally have on headphones are the cords that connect to the player. In the past the cords have been very flimsy, weak, and easy to stretch and destroy. With the cord on these Bose headphones it is VERY reinforced and to me honestly unless you are purposely trying to destroy them or simply cut the wire, you can not destroy the wire.
The part around the head of course is adjustable. My only issue with these particular headsets is that they can tight around the head and become unfortable and I have to adjust them from time to time so I don't get annoyed with them. Yet this is probably due to my big head.:)

Bose Companion 5 Multimedia Powered Speakers - Computer Speaker Systems
First to recommend
Description
Excellent speakers that I picked up this past weekend. Previously had some Klipsh Computer 5 piece surround system speakers and they had become defective not to mention there was just too much wiring with their system I decided to go with with this Bose system since pretty much the other sound systems in our house are all Bose.
Immediately out of the box it was a very clean and simple setup. Everything was either color coded or had a unique shape outlet so that only one piece would fit. The control for the volume is a circular device that is touch sensative. You tap it to turn it on and tap it again to it off. To control the volume the top of the device turns clock wise/ counter clock wise. The speakers give off an excellent surround sound. It is a shock that just those 2 speakers can give off such a powerful yet clear sound.
Highly recommend this product if you want a great sound, minimum wire issues, and don't mind putting in the money for it ($399).

LG HBM-500 Black Bluetooth Headset
First to recommend
Description
One of the best bluetooth headsets I have ever owned. It's an older model but still popular. I have had my headset for at least 4 years. The main unique feature is the caller id display on the front of the headset. When my phone rings the phone number will pop up on the display and I can decide to answer it or not. Not to mention the answer button looks like a pretty cubic zirconia. The outer rim of the button highlights 3 different colors depending on connection. Blue- for connected to phone, Green- for charging, and Red- for needs to be charged.
The volume controls are located at the bottom of the headset. My only main gripe is the headset, since my ears a smaller I have to wiggle around the set to get a tight yet comfortable grip on my ear. Right now on my headset the rplastic backing that loops around my ear is splitting apart but I can easly glue that back together.
Overall very impressed with this headset especially for it to still work so superbly after all these years.

Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse 5000
2 people recommended this item
Description
Bought this bluetooth mouse in conjunction with my Kensington - USB Bluetooth Micro Adapter (See review also on this item). Since my laptop did not have built in bluetooth capability. Excellent response time, has an on and off switch on the bottom of the mouse so it doesn't drain power. Also has another button at the bottom to activate the signal between the mouse and your computer. The response time to me is faster with a bluetooth mouse than with an infrared receiver mouse. Great product highly recommend.

Xbox LIVE Vision Camera
First to recommend
Description
Another great item to enhance your xbox live experience with your xbox 360. Easy setup just hook it into one of your front USB ports. Once you power up your system your camera will immediately power on. I noticed that once my main screen came up that my own reflection was showing as the background. Pretty nice.
I have also learned how to send a picture of myself to another user as well as take a picture of myself and make it my gamertag photo on xbox live. Yet it will not show on www.xbox.com. You do have the option to adjust sharpness on the lens so you don't come through blurry to other people on the network.
I also liked the extra long cable so I didn't have a problem with putting the camera on top of my 36' TV while my xbox was tucked away on the bottom shelf of my TV Stand. Recommend highly.

Xbox 360 Messenger Kit
First to recommend
Description
For those who enjoy the xbox 360 and the online community of xbox live. This is just an essiental piece of equipment to make your conversations easier. Right out the box all you have to do is snap the messenger kit to the bottom of the xbox controller. Once you power up your Xbox 360 you can immediately use the device to interact with other people by typing in messages instead of having to use the xbox controller itself. Definitely the convienant factor shoots through the roof.
At night time the keys will light up so you don't have to have a light on to see what you are typing. Also comes with a headphone set that connects via a plug at the bottom of the messenger kit. Overall a great device to add onto your xbox 360 and xbox live interactions

Western Digital Passport PINK 250GB 2.5" USB 2.0 External Hard Drive WDXMSE2500TN
First to recommend
Description
I was interested in this product because I needed a way to keep a backup of any items I might have on my desktop and my laptop. I wanted a portable hardrive and it had to be at least 250 GB. So when I saw this beautiful pink one on SALE at the job I just had to pick it up. Normally it would be around $180 but it was on sale for $108. So it was a steal.
What I like about this device is how easy out the box it was to setup. Just plug and play and you are ready to transfer your files over (documents, music, photos). It comes with an extended USB to mini usb cable to use the device. Overall excellent and it comes in an assortment of colors.

NETGEAR WPN824 RangeMax Wireless Router G MIMO
First to recommend
Description
Excellent device that was easy to setup with my Charter Pipeline connection. Was replacing a D-Link Router I previously was using since it died on me. AT the time I had a basic wireless G router and when I replaced it I felt it was time for me to get the strongest G router out there. Hence my decision to get a MIMO version.
For those not really familiar with Wifi networks in a nutshell the most basic that is used by people is WIFI G. There are other networks (a/b/n) and eventually the WIFI N networks will be replacing the popular G but not for sometime.
WIFI A = networks are more catered towards business and they are expensive. They also are more catered towards computers on the same network to share files. Been around 9 years.
WIFI B= networks that were first introduced for wireless connectivity for personal households around 9 years ago.
WIFI G= networks that replaced the WIFI B networks which improved on the speed and strength of the signal for wireless use for homes and businesses. There are three different types of G networks (Basic= Wireless G, Medium= Super G, Strongest= MIMO G) MIMO stands for (multiple-input and multiple-output). Been around since 2003.
WIFI N= networks that are considered next generation and are catered towards those who simply want the fastest speed possible. This is more ideal for those who want to stream High Definition, serious game playing, and also share files from other computers on the same network. It's like getting WIFI A and MIMO G all wrapped up with a big ass booster shot.
Well anyway I decided to go with this particular router because it was the best thing for me since my main desktop where my router is connected was NOT capable of dealing with a WIFI N connection. With this particular router it was the step right below it. It is called a MIMO G router. Best signal possible, very good for continuous game play ( I have a xbox 360 and will soon aquire a Nintendo Wii and PS3 to my collection), and I can have multiple other devices on my network and I don't lag on any other connections.
What's really funny is that my neighbor who lives across the street from me came into my partime job and joked that she was able to pick up my signal with no problem and she reading at least 3 bars with her laptop. Talk about being impressed.....I'm glad I have an encryption code on my network.
Anyway Excellent product, I highly recommend;)
