The Best Computer I've Eever Owned
on January 17, 2011
Posted by: Markiss
from Urbana, IL
I have had my fair share of Windows laptops and computers over the years but this hands down is the best ever. ONCE YOU GO MAC, YOU NEVER GO BACK.
Speed: The speed is blazing fast. From the moment I cut the power on until i click on Safari and the page loads up is 13 secons. Its at least 2 minutes on a windows computer.
Screen/Resolution: Amazing, better than 1080p because its 27" and the built in webcam haz amazing quality for iChat, FaceTime, and Skype.
Features: I love iLife 11' with iphoto, iMovie, and Garage band. I use all three to touch up photos, do film editing and the new trailers, and im taking guitar lessons on the Garage Band.
Overall. I will never own any computer than a Mac!
What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: Nothing
I would recommend this to a friend!

An "OK" 3D Movie
on December 31, 2010
Posted by: Markiss
from Urbana, IL
I have a 58" Magnolia 3D Samsung, playing the movie through the PS3 (which is 3D now via the Fall update) with the active shutter glasses, surround sound, the whole shebang.
Depth was there, but I buy 3D movies to have stuff "POP OUT OF THE SCREEN" There was maybe like one scene that that happened on. As far as depth, yes I did see depth in a few great action scenes.
The story line was fine and the movie was fine. There was a nice amount of action and some good slow mo scenes.
However it lacked the "pop out of the screen" 3D effects. I hope this helps
BUY ON REGULAR BLU-RAY
What's great about it: Decent movie, nice slow motion scenes
What's not so great: nothing popped out the screen
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

OVERALL OK PRODUCT
on November 5, 2010
Posted by: Markiss
from Urbana, IL
I picked this up on the release date. I was very excited when I got it. This was easy to set up, just 2 cords. The decive set up takes about 7 minutes to program you and all and after that, pop in the game and its go time.
The game it comes with is fun, I actually worked up a sweat. I like it better than the Wii, (I have all 3 systems). The only prob is there is a little slight lag, but nothing major to worry about, I would say it's about a half second off. But overall that is the only reason I didnt give it 5 stars.
I do enjoy it and I will play it a lot. Its fun and easy to use.
What's great about it: Price, Value, Fun,
What's not so great: Its a slight lag (about a half second)
I would recommend this to a friend!

Internet Connectable?Yes
Connected to the Internet:Yes
History: I am on my 9th HDTV so I have been through most. Im always upgrading. I have one LCD in my house (will never again, its personal preference though) and the rest plasma's. I will only buy plasma's because of the contrast ratio (how deep the black levels get) because not an LED or LCD can acheive the contrast that a plasma can, and they've also got rid of the screen retention lately (the "burn in").
3D: The 3D in this TV is awesom. I got the Monsters vs Aliens with the start up kit and it was awesome. Things were coming out the screen in my face the first 2 minutes of the movie.
Picture: Hands down the best picture quality because its a Magnolia Product.
Sound: Come on, a TV like this NEEDS to be hooked up to some sort of surround sound system. You're kidding yourself if you don't.
Internet TV: I have had this TV since the NBA finals in June andI just got around to messing with it. HULU, is great for having on demand tv shows. Pandora is awesome, it might replace my iPod. And I already have a blockbuster account with online so I won't be renting any movies off my TV for extra, but if you dont have Netflix or Blockbuster online it can be great.
Overall: THE BEST FRIGGIN TV EVER, GO BUY IT NOW
What's great about it: Everything, plus the backlit remote with different colors
What's not so great: nothing
I would recommend this to a friend!

I was a little upset after seeing Monsters VS Aliens because at least that movie set a great tone for what was going to come for 3D. I love the fact that things popped out the screen in Monsters vs Aliens. I didnt see not one thing pop out the screen on here and I feel it was a waste of my money. Im all about things popping out the screen. Thats why I spent $2,500 on the TV
What's great about it: Nothing
What's not so great: Nothing "popped out the screen"

does a blu ray play cd's and dvd's ?
yes, it even (upconverts) standard DVD's to make them look a little better. (If you have an HDMI cable hooked up to the TV)
