Big sound from a bookshelf speaker.
on March 22, 2014
Posted by: MIXMASTERICE
from Missouri
Got these when they were half off retail. For that price, these are a great option for somebody wanting quality sound, but not wanting to use a floorstanding speaker. These have excellent highs and mid-range, with a surprising amount of bass response. I auditioned these in-store against the Pioneer BS22 bookshelf speakers and it was no contest.
These speakers are actually rather large for a 5.25" single driver cabinet. They are particularly deep, with a curved cabinet. There is a mounting bracket on the back, with two bumpers/spacers on the bottom. This provides a little space in the back for air to escape the rear port when wall mounted.
Get these when they are on sale and if you need fronts or centers, the TSX line is an excellent choice, provided you get them on sale. The retail on this line is a bit over-priced. Then again, retail is for suckers in all instances.

What's great about it: Sound great
What's not so great: Ugly new Polk badge on grille.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Overall good TV if you don't want any extras

Samsung is one of the best TV manufacturers and this is one of their basic models. Picture quality is nice and clear. Sound is decent, as none of these flat panel TV's really have superb sound. Only real complaint is the lack of optical (toslink) to connect to your receiver, Bot sure why this was left out, but could be a problem for some. Good TV if you catch it on sale.

Agency approved. Retro classic frame fused with futuristic technology, Intercept completes the line between style and science. This hinges anchor injected temples. An ergonomically balanced frame supports precision optics. Polished logo plates create low-key accents subtle enough for any undercover recruit.

Not bad, but do have a few issues.
on January 2, 2014
Posted by: MIXMASTERICE
from Missouri
Bought these when they were on sale for $29.99. That's about all they are worth at the most. First off, they do enhance what's on your TV or monitor. Colors are more vivid and everything is just generally sharper. There is also a slight magnification. Not really sure I've noticed any real eye fatigue benefit, maybe a little.
On the negative side, these frames are just ugly. They are rather large and nerdy looking, reminding me a lot of the glasses "Wild Thing" wore in the movie Major League. I also get a glare/reflection on the inside of the glasses, which is actually a reflection of my eyes. This tends to be worse the darker the room.
Overall these aren't bad, nor would I say they are really good. If I had paid more than $30, which I didn't due to RZ points, I would be taking them back.
My Best Buy number: 781498966
What's great about it: Fairly comfortable, do enhance graphics of games and movies.
What's not so great: Can see reflection of my eyes, goofy looking frame style.

Great old-school brawler with depth and graphics.

The Vita has been a little dry when it comes to quality game releases this year. Dragon's Crown is definitely a quality game and will appeal to some of the old-school gamers who grew up playing games like Golden Axe, Streets of Rage and Final Fight.
This is a side-scroller beat-em-up style game, which sadly isn't done much now days. This game looks and plays great. It takes the old-school style and builds upon it with depth in attacks and leveling up abilities for 6 separate characters. Has online play and local co-op, as well. The Vita version features some well integrated touch controls that the PS3 version obviously lacks.
Overall this is a great game. If you have two Vita systems I would suggest you might opt to download the game from PSN. You could use that download on both Vita systems and play co-op, whereas you would have to buy the physical copy twice. The download is just over 900mb, so it's not huge.

Good toaster for just $5, but does have some flaws
on December 28, 2012
Posted by: MIXMASTERICE
from Missouri
We had the same toaster for 15 years and it functioned well enough. Then recently my 4 year old daughter burned her hand pretty badly on the outside of the toaster, it being metal and getting very hot when in operation. I had actually burned my hand a couple of times over the years forgetting not to touch it when on. Decided to get a cool-touch toaster and this one for just $5 bucks seemed worth a shot.
This toaster doesn't get hot at all on the outside, so that alone is a huge plus for my family. The bread slots are a bit narrow, so it won't be practical for bagels, Texas toast and such. Just basic bread or frozen waffles/toaster strudels. The setting nob should be set to around 1 to start. I had initially set mine to 5 and it burned the toast. Set it to 3 and it burned the toast. Set it to 1 and it popped it out just about right. One side does get darker than the other every time. I'm happy enough with it for the price. If this had been a $15 or $20 toaster I would probably take it back. As it is, this will work well enough for us and keep my kids from getting burned.
What's great about it: Inexpensive, cool touch exterior
What's not so great: narrow slots for bread, will burn toast if not careful
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great bang for the buck from a proven company.

Caught these on sale for $49.99, plus the $10 mystery bonus reward Best Buy gave me. For under 40 bucks these can't be beat. Polk is a long time maker of quality speakers and these are great bookshelf speakers that serve great for surrounds. I particularly like that the backs are keyholed for easy wall mounting. Cabinet, grilles and badges are the same design as the Monitor II series, so these fit right in with my Monitor 70 Series II and Monitor 40 Series II speakers.
Anybody on a budget could buy 4 of these and use them as fronts and surrounds. Coupled with a decent sub these would make a great budget system with a decent receiver. Highly recommended.
What's great about it: Price, construction, sound, keyholed back cabinet.
What's not so great: A bit lacking in bass.
I would recommend this to a friend!

By HDSILVER08

Really like the tv. Picture and sound quality are great and the tv is a good value because it isn't burdened with "smart" tv features or 3D. I was disappointed that it didn't have PIP. I didn't even think to look twice as I thought that was a pretty basic feature.

PIP

PIP is kind of an outdated feature. Not many TV's have this feature anymore due to lack if interest.

3 out of 5Excellent considering the price
By HABABONE
from New Berlin, WI
Pros: Paid $50 for a pair during Black Friday which is one heck of an deal. Polk makes nice looking speakers with pretty good audio quality. T15 are perfect computer speakers, small enough to be placed almost any where, and more powerful than your typical Creative or Logitech speakers. The biggest downside I had was using bookshelf speakers as part of my home theater 7.1 setup, something T15s cannot handle.
Cons: I purchased T15s speakers to complete my 7.1 Surround Sound setup. I'm using Polk Monitor 75s for my front, Polk 70S for my rear, Polk TSX150C for my center, and BIC F12 for my Subs. Upon testing my floor standing speakers completely drowns out these book shelf speakers, I couldn't even tell they were on unless I put my ears right next to them or turn all speakers volume down to -2 and kept the T15 at 10. So I sold this model to my brother for the same price to upgrade his PC speakers, at which they sound great.
Other Thoughts
For PC speakers I would rate these and 5 out of 5, but for home theater setups with floor standing speakers, you will be better off going with Polk Monitors 40-45 for $120-80.

User error.
January 5, 2014
I have the Monitor 70 Series II for fronts, as well as Monitor 50 Series II for side surrounds. I'm currently using the T15's for rear surround. You must have set up your system wrong or something. I have my surround setup perfectly balanced and in no way do the T15's not hold up their end of the sound chain. Run an auto setup or tweak it yourself, but there should be no reason you can't hear the T15's clearly. Perhaps you were using a receiver mode that didn't properly use the speakers?

5 out of 5Great compact stereo
By GrannyandGrampy247
Our 14 yr. old grandson had picked this stereo out after testing ALL the stereos on ALL the shelves. He is very meticulous about his musical instruments, speakers, headphones and ear buds and when he heard the sounds, tones and bass come out of this compact stereo he was gleaming. Just as they were about to close his brother reached up and found the button that turned on the lights in the speaker! That was priceless!! He had asked for a speaker with lights in it. It works great! People were awesome, got a price match ad, they helped us wrap it up to hide it the day we purchased it! The quality and sound and functionality is a 10 out 10. We have had it for about a month now.

This unit is mono not stereo. It consists of one tweeter and one woofer which is a single speaker.
