Question: How was the operation?

Fantastic. I dubbed mine "The iPod killer". After fighting my old 3rd gen 8gb iPod nano for a few years. I decided enough was enough and I wanted something that I could use in whatever mannerism I wished to. So, i bought the 8gb clip+, a 16GB micro SD card and installed rockbox(a free third party firmware) onto the clip. I could not be happier with the results, people are constantly amazed when i tell them that i managed to build a 24GB mp3 player with custom firmware and in this size for only $75. It really can't be beat except for on battery life. However, I don't really see how you could ever kill the battery in one day and it would probably even be quite unlikely in two days. I charge mine and switch around music every few days without it ever dying on me.Pros-Portability-Clip-micro SD slot-High Capacity to begin with-ability to change firmwares and to use product as you wish (ex. click and drag files instead of using clunky programs)Cons- I can only think of one and that is the battery life. I could see the battery getting weak enough to where it might die within a long days use and that would be troublesome for me. But, as of right now I charge every few days and have no worries. I WILL update if i ever see any decline in battery life to the point of it bothering me.-I also would like to note that the text might prove kind of hard to see out of the box for people with any problems seeing smaller text. However, with the use of 3rd party firmware you can change the text to any size that you want. But, keep in mind it requires some effort to install the 3rd party firmware and even then the screen is still small, so larger text gets kind of cumbersome. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with problems seeing, but on the other hand I can't really think of many media players that I would. Definitely nothing that is even close to the size of this device.Summary: All in all I couldn't have bought any device close to the capacity as this one for as much as I paid for the device and the SD card. Throw in the fact that it is so small and that I can put on whatever firmware I want and just drag and drop my files and I'm simply astounded by this product.

Question: How is the sound?

I bought these for my son in mid July 2008. He was happy with the sound, saying sound was much better than from the ones that came with his Ipod. Unfortunately, the left ear bud just stopped working about a month ago(November). Many other reviewers seem to have had the same problem, so it's hard to recommend them for that reason. Otherwise, I would say the sound is pretty good for the price. They come with a one year warranty so I just emailed the manufacturer. Too soon to tell if I will get a replacement.**Update July 2009 - A couple of weeks after posting my original review, I received an email from the company apologizing for not responding to my email sooner and offering me a replacement. I received a new pair within a week orf responding to them and so far, they are still working well.

Question: Which button we have to push to start the device?

I replaced a Harmony 720 with the Harmony One. Since the 720 was not going to be used any longer, I used the replace remote button in the software. It transferred the account over to the Harmony One and loaded all the settings, Almost. It did not transfer any of the additional buttons I had defined for the previous remote or the "favorite channels" settings. This meant a fair amount of reprogramming.Other than that, I really like the new remote. It does everything well, the buttons feel good, and I like most of the layout. The touch screen, while very responsive, cannot be used by touch, like the older 720 screen could. On the 720 there were 3 buttons on each side of the screen, and this was much easier to do by touch.The range of the IR signal seems to be very good, and I don't have to point it directly at the Home theater setup, like I had to do with the 720.Overall I think the Harmony One is a great remote.

Question: How is the connector?

This amazon basics cable is just perfect for me. Well made cable with gold plated ends and I feel it works just as well as the more expensive ones.The only 2 additional things I wish this cable could do are: Wish it was a little longer, such as 5ft, for it would then be the perfect length. Also I wish the cable was more flexible. On my work station I have many cables and devices.. and if this cable was more flexible I would have a better chance of hiding it.For the price and how well it works I do feel this is a great buy.

Question: How is the space?

Says it's is supposed to be an 8G drive, but my machine says it's only 7.27G.Not happy.And when 'close' is not good enough, this drive does not cut it. I went with a 16G drive from ScanDisk. Hopefully, I'll get more than 8G!++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Since my post, I was contacted by Kingston and given a very professional reason why the drive does not come to 8G. So, I've modified my rating and yes, I should have realized having worked in the industry for some time (20+ years), that I should have ordered a drive 1 size larger than what I need.Thanks Kingston!++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Here is Kingston's response:Hello, I'm Jewel with Kingston Technical Support. We apologize for the confusion about the drive. Please understand that some of the listed capacity is used in formatting and other functions, as such would not be available for data storage. I recommend getting a drive one size larger than required, one to make sure the drive has enough space for the intended purpose and two to leave some empty space for the drive to perform at it's best. A drive at full capacity does not typically perform as well as when it is not. For any further assistance with our products, please call us at 1-800-435-0640 (USA and Canada only) M - F 6am - 6pm PT and I or another available Technician will assist you.

Question: How is the quality of the material?

Even though this reflector is not that expensive, it does the job greatly.I normally use it when shooting outdoors to avoid having weird shades. The Translucent/Silver/Gold/White/Black side does an excellent job :)I'll recommend you to buy it, the size is great, the materials look durable (have had an issue yet and I bought a while ago), it feels sturdy yet it is easy to collapse (if you have practice on folding this type of reflectors), comes with a carry bag, when collapse doesn't take much space so it's easy to transport.Definitely a really good purchase.Recommended product.

Question: How is the plastic holding?

These are great! I bought 8 to house all my old drives. The plastic is sturdy, the design is simple and minimal, none have gone wrong yet.  Really easy to pop them open again and swap a drive out.In my experience these enclosures can break whether they're an expensive Lacie or G-Drive or a cheap Orico, it's all pot luck, and I've had USB controllers die in every kind of enclosure and device. So for $12 you can't go wrong.

Question: Why is this camera fantastic?

I loved my D90, and thought long and hard about upgrading to the D7000.  It arrived yesterday as promised (Thanks Amazon! Awesome service once again), and I have to say, this camera is awesome.

As great as the D90 was, I feel that the D7000 is a good upgrade, and well worth the money....Thanks

Question: How did I make the connection?

I'm very happy with this router. My first thought when I opened the box, was, oh--it's so small.  I bought it to replace a a poor abused Linksys wireless router that I'd had for years and had been dropped one too many times.The Medialink router set up easily--I did choose to use the CD that came with it, but you don't have to.  There is no software to install, the CD just contains instructions and will tell you if your connection is good.  Since installing the router, I haven't had any problems with it and it seems like my internet speed has increased. The signal is stronger than my last router--all the bars are solid. My computer is in a different room than the router and there have been no drop offs disconnects.  Good router for the price, definitely.

Question: What is the appearance of the connector?

I ordered this LFE cable with a splitter to add to my new SVS sub and move the existing sub into a corner. the connector was VERY tight but this is a plus and I do not have worries about it coming off easy and it "clicks" into place. I was using an audiophile grade cable before but switching between them there is no audible difference and the quality appears on par for a fraction of the price. The cable is thick, gold plated, has colour coding but doesn't have the price of most pro grade cables. I'm sure if tested properly they may find some small quibble why it isn't a true audiophile grade cable but for us mortals who cap the price of front speakers to $2000 or so these cables are a great deal for their quality, price and performance. Now I hope media bridge reads these reviews because now I want you guys to make a 35ft hdmi with Ethernet FLAT cable to run to my future projector install, I don't want to pay 5x what you guys may charge for some other companies cable that will not be any better.

Question: How a heating problem can be solved in a notebook computer?

I have a 14" Dell Latitude E5420 w/Core i7.When running CPU intensive processes, the laptop used to get very hot and you could hear the poor little fan struggling to keep things cool. In fact, once while playing NFS: Hot Pursuit (The newest one) the laptop actually went into thermal protection because the CPU crossed 100 degrees (Celsius).On idle, without the fans, it holds steady between 55 and 60 degrees.With fans I'm usually between 38 and 46.So we can easily say this is more than a 20% decrease in heat. And as we know with electronics, the cooler it is, the more efficient it works.I placed one fan directly under the CPU and the other under the RAM.These fans are extremely quiet, so you'll actually forget that they're on!I also disagree with the person that stated that this item cannot be used on one's lap due to the open back design. The fans come covered. And even then, the pad is at an angle so they don't even touch my legs if I'm on the bed. Also, if it's hot, using the laptop on your lap actually helps to keep your legs a bit cooler as well!Be very careful with the fans as you dismount and remount as the clips that hold them in place do seem to be rather cheaply made and will probably break very easily.Also, be gentle with the USB power plug. It also seems to be cheaply made and may break with too rough a use.All in all I have already recommended this product to a friend and would suggest it to anyone whose laptop gets to hot to stay on your leg.I also recommend this highly over the other coolers that have one big central fan. The fact that these fans are removable, you can position them exactly where the problem is.One big central fan with a fancy blue light is pretty... but this one is just purely efficient!Since I've had this item, the hottest I've been able to achieve was 83 degrees. And that was for video rendering at 1080p. All four cores at 100% with Turbo Boost.Buy this!

Answer: the poor little fan struggling to keep things cool

<hl> I have a 14" Dell Latitude E5420 w/Core i7.When running CPU intensive processes, the laptop used to get very hot and you could hear the poor little fan struggling to keep things cool . <hl> In fact, once while playing NFS: Hot Pursuit (The newest one) the laptop actually went into thermal protection because the CPU crossed 100 degrees (Celsius).On idle, without the fans, it holds steady between 55 and 60 degrees. With fans I'm usually between 38 and 46.So we can easily say this is more than a 20% decrease in heat. And as we know with electronics, the cooler it is, the more efficient it works. I placed one fan directly under the CPU and the other under the RAM.These fans are extremely quiet, so you'll actually forget that they're on!I also disagree with the person that stated that this item cannot be used on one's lap due to the open back design.

Question: How is the text?

I really haven't found anything to dislike about this. It's a considerable improvement over the previous model year. It just does everything I expect of a tablet.The text is very clear and sharp. This is a good tablet for reading books, which is more than I expected.There is the one small curiosity where there isn't a camera app provided. You can readily download one for free, however.

Question: Does the keyboard lightweight?

This keyboard is nice and light but doesn't feel flimsy. I felt comfortable off the bat and started right away on my homework with ease. I paired so easily and quickly with my iPad 2.Typing is smooth and there is click to the keys that are not intrusive. Typing in the dark is nice and now I don't have to worry about disturbing my sleeping husband with bright lamps on while studying late at night.Having the other function keys on this keyboard are so useful.If I stop typing, the light on the keyboard dims after about 15 seconds. But after I move my fingers or depress a key, it lights back up again and with no lag at all. I walked away for about 5 minutes and came right back with no lag or delay as well.I was looking for a portable keyboard for my iPad 2 and having the quality of this brand plus the backlit keys were a plus. Too bad there isn't some sort of hard shelled carrying case for this, so for now, I'm not going to just throw it into my bookbag.I also opted for the retractable auto charger, retractable home travel charger, and the Fellowes 9184901 Laptop Palm Support.

Question: How much does a tablet with a good interface cost?

Great product for using Netflix on my tv. I wish it was adaptable to more applications such as web browsing, amazon prime on demand, MLB TV, etc; but it doesn't have that feature yet. The app is very easy to use though for Netflix which is the main use I have for it and it goes for a much cheaper price than Apple TV or other alternatives. I just wish it had more capabilities.

Question: How is the design of the camera?

I bought 2 of these around X-mas of last year for just over $200 each.  I really like the camera for the ease of use.  All the buttons and menu layout all are well designed and thought out enough, so that if you used a digital camera before, you don't have to read the manuel to figure out how to use all the functions.  I also like the fast start up time, the long battery life, and the various functions like video, continuous shooting mode etc...  None of these functions are unique to Cannon cameras though.  The color rendition is excellent.And this camera is pretty durable too.  I've carry one of these around often in my jean pocket.  The view screen did get scratched up a bit, but that's my fault for keeping coins and keys in the same pocket occasionally.What I didn't like about this camera is the quality of the pictures.  Even in good light you don't get really crisp and sharp pictures.  Perhaps I'm not being fair here.  The pictures from my Fuji2700 (only 2 mega pixels) look much crisper and sharper, but that camera is much bulkier with the bigger lens.  To be fair, I have not seen better pictures from any other super compact cameras in this class either.So, over all I would recommend this camera over any other comparable 6Mega pixel models in the same price range.  Just remember that it's great for taking snap shots and a bit more, but it's still a compact pocket camera with limitations.

Question: Is the cable expensive?

I really wish that I was able to use HDMI, but I can't... so I had to go with optical.I have used optical cables in the past and they haven't been my favorite, but I was out of choices here so I gave it another go.This cable is cheap and works about the same as any other optical would, but I find that the sound that it sends is bad.  I have tried another optical cable belonging to my brother and the sound quality seems much better.  I don't know if it's a flaw in the cable or just due to the production or what.  The cable DOES work and it is a decent cable, but it just does a lackluster job on the sound quality end, it seems.In the end I've just decided to use the TV speakers for now, while I decide what kind of receiver to get (one that has an HDMI hookup).

Question: What is the quality of the speaker?

I purchased this set of Energy 5.1 speakers with powered sub and I couldnt be happier. I consider myself a Home Theatre Enthusiast. The speakers seem to be pretty good quality and look great, I like the fact that you can take the dust covers off if you choose. Also you can flush mount to wall or use mounting brakets.The sub sounds really good, deep base that I can actually feel it thumping the floor during movies. The speakers are crisp, clear and sound great.Don't think your buying a generic set of speakers just because they don't say Klisph or Bose. This is really a great product. My AVR is actually a 7.1 so I will order 2 more speakers for my back surrounds.Bottomline is you cant go wrong with this set.

Question: How is the quality of the drive?

I thought the description mentioned that the drive would need to be re-formatted for Mac or Linux, however I must have miss-read the description.  Apparently the drive is simply unusable with the Linux OS and since I use Virtual Windows Systems inside a Linux host, the drive was useless to me.One thing I will mention is that I did test it on my nephew's Windows 7 laptop (USB 2.0 only) and it appeared to load (after a bit of a delay) and work properly however I wasn't able to do much testing with it unfortunately.  It seems like a sturdy little drive and the capacity would've been nice.  If I used Windows or Mac natively on any system, I probably would have kept it.

Question: How did you like the router?

I am a professional writer, focusing on computer-related products, so I don't give 5 star reviews so easily. This product however definitely deserves it.The router took about 10' to install and has worked like a charm since then. Positioned in the ground floor of the house, it manages to give a strong enough signal to be received at 135 Mbps from the upper floor. And that's from my net-book, which has a quite mediocre network card. My room-mate claims that he has a super high speed, both for downloading and for uploading, from his desktop computer.The router has a fairly easy menu, though it took us a good 7 minutes to configure all the security settings (you can never be too careful these days). Other routers may be better in this aspect. However, this is something you only do once (or twice at most) so it's not a big deal.The bottom line is that this product is not just a good buy, but something you can cherish for a while. I would highly recommend it to any computer user who relies a lot on a wireless network for his/her internet access.One thing that it is a bit bizarre though is that the upload speed is about 3 times higher than the download speed, something that has been observed it two computers in our network. Usually DL speed is significantly lower than UL speed. That's not an issue though, since the important factor is the connection stability, which has exceeded our expectations.

Question: How was the speed of the camera?

Np problems with this card whatsoever. However if your camera,is like mine, capable of using a CF card, spend the extra money and get that card. The problem with SD cards is simply they are not as sturdy and strong as their CF counter parts. A consideration for those instances when you can't afford to risk the images, or there is no chance to reshoot the event.

Question: How good is the finish?

The sales people at the AT&T store put this on my iPhone 5S last night. They had never seen this brand before and were curious about it's quality, ease of use, thickness, look, etc. and were very impressed. I had an iPhone 5 with a Zag protector before and it didn't feel nearly as nice as this one does. I had no idea that it could make this much difference. Seems like a small thing, but when you feel this one, you will know what I'm talking about -- it feels great to the touch! And the matte finish is excellent. I highly recommend this product.

Question: Does this product is good quality?

We were trying to live simply and watch less television. We also wanted to save some money by discontinuing our Dish Network service. At first, I was thinking about purchasing an external HDTV antennae but was daunted by the installation. I then decided to look at indoor antennas and came across the Mohu Leaf. I was intrigued that it got excellent reviews. I wasn't very hopeful because of our location. I live in Apex, NC and our subdivision is surrounded by a lot of trees and we get poor AT&T; cellphone service. But I was encouraged that Mohu has a great return policy. I figured that if it didn't work, I will just return it.I plugged it into my HDTV and had the television do a channel search. The first time I did this, I did not get a lot of channels but after moving it a couple of times (and having my TV do another channel search after each move), I was able to get 19 channels! Among a few minor channels, I got the major networks including PBS, CBS, ABC, Fox, NBC, and The CW. And guess what, at normal viewing distances, the picture quality is comparable to Dish!I'm even contemplating of buying a DVR. There are a few devices that don't even require a monthly subscription. But I'm still thinking about this. It's very tempting to be able to record all the network shows like Fringe, Desperate Housewives, or Dancing with the Stars. My main goal, after all, is to watch less television.Very soon, I will cancel my Dish service and this $44 antennae is going to save me lots of money.

We were trying to live simply <hl> and watch less television <hl>. We also wanted to save some money by discontinuing our Dish Network service. At first, I was thinking about purchasing an external HDTV antennae but was daunted by the installation. I then decided to look at indoor antennas and came across the Mohu Leaf. I was intrigued that it got excellent reviews. I wasn't very hopeful because of our location. I live in Apex, NC and our subdivision is surrounded by a lot of trees and we get poor AT&T; cellphone service. But I was encouraged that Mohu has a great return policy. I figured that if it didn't work, I will just return it.I plugged it into my HDTV and had the television do a channel search. The first time I did this, I did not get a lot of channels but after moving it a couple of times (and having my TV do another channel search after each move), I was able to get 19 channels! Among a few minor channels, I got the major networks including PBS, CBS, ABC, Fox, NBC, and The CW. And guess what, at normal viewing distances, the picture quality is comparable to Dish!I'm even contemplating of buying a DVR. There are a few devices that don't even require a monthly subscription. But I'm still thinking about this. It's very tempting to be able to record all the network shows like Fringe, Desperate Housewives, or Dancing with the Stars. My main goal, after all, is to watch less television.Very soon, I will cancel my Dish service and this $44 antennae is going to save me lots of money.

Question: How is the unit?

Ok to the review.  I own this roku 3,apple tv, chrome cast and amazon firetv, I'm a cord cutter, tired of paying the huge cable bills.  So this review will have a pros and cons that considers the four "tv boxes" versus each other.ApplePros: smooth operations as far as the software goes (best  i have used), works great with all apple productsCons: software is smooth because apple limits the developers by only allowing certain looks and interactions, doesn't work with some other branded products, very limited apps. limited processor versus some of the others.Roku 3Pros: great overall box, largest number of apps (channels), smooth operations.Cons: no real cons except the slower processor (doesn't have a huge effect now but may in the future)ChromecastPros: Cost (cheapest of the four), easy install, size (smallest), cost, cost, costCons: need a computer or ipad/iphone/tablet or some other type of controller to operate, wifi reception is a little weak, buffers more than the others, has limited number of apps, has a limited processor.Amazon FireTvPros: best processor, with newest firmware as of may 29 2014 is very smooth, rapid growing number of apps, the voice search is nice and has improved.Cons: not many, i love this guy and will probably buy another one.conclusion: the roku is a great box, it works great and has the most channels.  I hope they develop a Roku 4 soon to combat the firetv's better processor.  But roku has the best overall box, and experience.  I can't wait to see what they do next.

Question: How is ease way?

I got this as a gift a few months ago.  I have several non-Amazon ereaders.  This is my first Kindle ereader which is also a tablet.  Its very nice.  I was also given the case for it with the rapid charger.  The case is nice, protective and I can set it up to watch movies etc.The main thing that drives me crazy is the power on button.  They should have put it in an easier spot to get to and see.The other thing is also the lack of Google Play apps.  There are many on there I want that are not available.  Some other reviewer said there is a way to get them.  I have not tried figuring that out yet.Besides those two things I have no other complaints.  Obviously because it is a tablet the battery does go down faster if you are using it for other things than just reading.  Another thing to consider is it is heavy because of all the features it has.  So its not as easy to carry around or stick in a pocket or purse like a stand-alone ereader would do.  So that is something to consider.It has great functions and great picture quality.  It also has a camera and you can skype.  You can check your email, download available apps, play games, listen to music read,surf, etc.  There are many many other functions.As far as reading goes you can buy Amazon books right on the reader or online through your account or purchase gift cards available in most stores where the gift cards are; I see them everywhere.  However, I never buy books.  I read many books a month and get them all free through the Overdrive program including latest releases.  I downloaded the app on my Kindle Fire HD.  I can read Kindle format books and if I want to read non-Kindle format books I can read them on the ereader that is built into the Overdrive program, which is their console so I can read Kindle and Epub formats right on my Kindle Fire HD.  The ereader function of the Kindle Fire is very good.  The screen is bright, not much glare at all, tap to turn pages, easy dictionary access, bookmarking etc functions.  I also like how secure it is.  I have placed a password on it.  Its very easy to figure out and use.UPDATE:  I bought the ihome alarm/clock charger for this on Amazon.  See my review.  Its great. Its an alarm clock, charger (charges our KF and phones) and is a speaker for your KF for listening to music apps like Pandora, the FM radio the clock comes with etc.

Question: How is the quality?

The design of these is great. Unlike so many others these are designed to sit comfortably and stay there. No slippage or constant readjusting like I've experienced with my Skull Candy Inked or Apple buds. Cord keeper would have been nice addition. For the money, this is one heck of a steal. Sound quality is fantastic. Not sure how long they will last but I will get another pair as they are unbeatable for the price. Shipping took a little longer than expected due to combining purchase from this seller and another from Amazon fullfilment). Shipping was free and the wait was worthwhile, Thank you!!!

Question: What are your impressions about the sound?

I was looking for a reasonably priced ear bud that would fit securely. It also needed to fit relatively flush to my ear, so if I try to sleep on an airplane, the ear bud isn't pressing into my ear. Lastly, and most importantly, it needed to have great sound. The M6 met every criteria. Excellent sound with great bass. Mid range and high end are still clear and crisp.

Answer: Excellent sound with great bass

Question: How is device?

Hi,I am technical director at a software company. It has been a long time ago since I did my last programming, and nowadays I am doing mostly Excel spreadsheets, Word documents, Powerpoint presentations and Pdf document reading. Why all MS Office an Pdf ? Because 100% of our customers and suppliers use it.I like the iPad because I am truly a gadget fan, and I wanted to study its application to real business.My conclusion is that the software which is available for the iPad is still not mature, even tough the concept derives from the ipod/iphone, which have been around for a while now.From a hardware point of view, the device is quasi-perfect. Performance is great, size is OK (albeit I would prefer 16:9) and technological concepts behind the interface are very good. But again, almost everything is inherited from the ipod touch and the iphone. So from the hardware point of view, it is nothing revolutionary. An USB port would be a real plus.From the software point of view, there is much that needs to be worked out:The Numbers appliction, doesn't save files in Excel format, doesn't let fou open/save spredsheets from "internet disks" (WebDav Servers), with the exception of [...], which is really used for sharing documents and doesn't allow editing. So for working with Excel spreadsheets and sharing information for editing on the move with your co-workers, the Numbers application is useless.The Keynote app has exactly the same problem. No saving in Powerpoint format and no way of sharing the files for editing with your co-workers.The Pages app better, since it can save in Word format, but still no access to "internet disks".There are other offerings for MS Office compatible Suites, but I have evaluated 2 of them and both have big problems saving the spreadsheets, loosing the format and formulas when doing so. Result: Useless with the spreadsheets I use daily.The Mail Application is good enough, even tough you cannot send multi file attachments, so you will have to send the attachments one by one.The Browser will not render flash content. Until HTML5 becomes a widespread standard, this is also a minus, since flash is sometimes required for my business research.And as the last issue, there is not real printing support. Sure, there are some apps out there, but most of them uses "tricks" to print entire documents (like using a master pc for example: not really mobile).The iBooks application works very well if you are capable of converting pdf docs to the iPad format. Now I can read 500 pages technical specs on my couch instead od sitting endless hours sitting in front of my laptop (alltough I could use my laptop on the couch, believe me it is not really confortable).So my perception is that it will take some time until the available software matures enough, so that the device is ready for use in real business.As a home use gadget, it is a very interesting and promising device. But be aware: It is an ipod with a larger screen, which has it's advantages, since it can be used for tasks for which the ipod was not well suited to.As the time goes by, I will do more tests and post my findings

Question: How about the specs?

It's a nice tablet as long as you stay off-line. If you wanna use it as a PDF reader it works well. For streaming videos from Youtube or Netflix it's not so good. Sometimes it streams ok, but majority of the time it slows and stops video stream. Now, mind you that I have a wifi router 2 feet from me and a perfect wifi connection. This tablet just isn't worth the money if you wanna waatch videos; the processor is too slow. (You can get a $100 tablet from Pandigital, etc. that will stream video and audio at the same pace quality.)Also, I find the periodic firmware updates from Asus a bit annoying as they do not really improve any of the app performances.

Question: How is the base?

First of all, I went from an old 21" Samsung monitor to this 27" 1440 display.  What can I say, everything looks gorgeous on it.  The graphics when using windows, the movies, streaming Netflix, all look great.  But the biggest difference was editing photos.  That is where I believe this monitor shines.  Photos are vivid and the colors are great, I did not have to make any adjustments to the factory settings.  I have plenty of real estate to open the photo and have my editing tools open beside it without feeling like I'm running out of room or having to zoom in and out.  Great!  Playing games is awesome, I did not notice any blurring or shadowing, but I'm not a hard core gamer.  I just play an occasional game.  The stand is solid, although it does take up some room on your desk, it's not a deal breaker.Overall, I am extremely pleased with it and recommend it to anyone.
