The Logitech z623 sound is amazing, I listen to mostly Trance and Electronica in general, but I can tell you everything sounds fantastic on it, I also own the z2300 which I have hooked up to my Samsung 3D TV and I can tell you that it falls slightly behind it in terms of bass, but just a little, and I would say the satellite speakers sound better than those in the z2300, I certainly do not regret buying it at all.
And to the people saying the cables are short, people it's SOOOO easy to go buy one audio extension cable, they are less than $5 in any electronics store, you just need to buy the cable and an extender plug and that's it, cable length is an issue for me with my z2300 because of the way I have it set up with my TV and I just got one extension cables from Bestbuy.
Get this today!
What's great about it: Bass, Sound, Quality, Appearance
What's not so great: Perhaps that it has no optical audio, but that was expected.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Setting this up was a no brainer, added 4 more devices to my home network in less than 10 minutes!
Speed is incredible becaue of the Gigabit ports, works fantastically with my Netgear wndr3700 router, no conflicts what so ever, I would buy this a hundred times more if necessary, so cheap and such a great quality!
What's great about it: Speed, Gigabit Ports, Design

No need to buy a Wi-Fi adapter that only works with one type of device.Option to power by USB port means no exposed wire hanging from the TV.

I really wanted to like this little guy, it looks awesome, and fits anywhere, but unfortunately it would drop the wireless connection constantly making it impossible to stream movies from Netflix or from another computer in the house.
I own a Netgear wndr3700 router, so I supposed this device would play excellent with it, but I was wrong, setup is not too hard but was not as easy as they make it look ( and I know about networking and computers in general)
I'll wait for the next interaction of this product.
What's great about it: Looks, Packaging, Accessories
What's not so great: Range and Connectivity

This hub works with your high-speed Internet and your home phones to deliver VoIP phone services and supports up to 4 Ooma Telo handsets. With easy setup, you can enjoy unlimited U.S. calling and low international rates.*
Posted by: EL305
from Hialeah, FL
I just wonder why I didn't get this sooner, the Ooma Telo is a top of the line product, it allows you to have free phone service and make free calls in the US even if you take the device overseas, you just pay a small tax monthly fee (Required by the government not Ooma) Of course if you want all the bells and whistles then you need to get their Premium service that is $9.99 a month, still A LOT LOT less money than what you would be paying to your local phone company for A LOT less features, Ooma works with any corded or cordless phone; easy installation and no computer is required, With Ooma Premier, you'll have access to several first-class voicemail options. You'll be able to enjoy the ultimate convenience of having your voicemails forwarded to your e-mail address, allowing you to check your phone messages while at work.
Also when you sign up you have the option to pick a secondary phone number, you are free to chose what area code you want for your phone, let's say you have friends or family in another stay who can't afford long distance, then you pick a number from their area and presto they can call you at that local number for them.
Ooma also has Google Voice integration, meaning you may send and receive calls using your Google Voice number and Caller ID, even retrieve your Google Voice Mail from the Telo main unit or the Telo handset, the integration works like a charm.
Ooma has all the features you could ever dream of having from your phone service and then some, the Telo device has a sleek design loaded features, I simply love it all.
What's great about it: Quality, Design, Features, Sound
What's not so great: Nothing so far.

Now you can place a phone in every room with this phone system that is expandable up to 12 handsets. DECT 6.0 technology ensures crystal-clear reception and complete privacy.
Posted by: EL305

I tried several models before deciding to go with this one, the range is excellent, even when outside the house or in the second floor, I love being able to use the phone as an intercom too, most of the changes you do in any of the sets will automatically propagate to the other handsets, really nice touch.
I have Ooma VOIP service and it's been working wonderfully with it so far, when you have new Voice Mail the phone has a light in the front of the main unit which lights up in red and an envelope icon so you know you have new mail. in the rest of the sets you only get to see the envelope icon in the phone screen instead.
I pre-programmed my own phone number (that's what you dial to access your voice mail in Ooma if you are not retrieving it from the Telo directly) on the phone's directory and added a #1 (or you could use special characters I guess such as [ or * etc instead) before the words "Voice Mail" so that's the first entry that shows up in the phone book directory, so now to access Voice Mail I just press the DIR key then press the Speaker Phone Key and it dials automatically then Presto I'm listening to Voice Mail with just two simple clicks! My mom loves it!
I would recommend this phone to anyone!
What's great about it: Sound, Quality, Range, Features
What's not so great: No dedicated key to dial Voice Mail, but you can program that like I explained.

This is the best PC display I have found after much reviewing, awesome resolution, brightness and color reproduction.
It has all the bells and whistles you could expect for a top of the line item on its class, I love the LED touch buttons, makes it very easy to pull out menus.
I only have one negative things to say about this monitor; its stand is not very adjustable at all, if you are a person who likes to be constantly bringing the monitor to a higher/lower heights then move on, it has very limited adjustment movement and no up/down adjustment at all.
I wish BB had it a little cheaper, it can be found out there in local competitors for a lower price, though you can always ask for a price match.
What's great about it: Brightness, Size, Image Reproduction
What's not so great: Very limited Adjustable stand.

Outstanding Speakers

Posted by: EL305

These are the best 2.1 speakers I have ever owned, the sound is amazing, the bass is mind blowing, the quality is really really good, if you are looking for nice speakers while not breaking the bank this set will blow you away.
Shame Bestbuy did not sell it locally, so I had to buy it from another retailer, If you are out there looking for a 3 piece set make yourself a favor and try these, you won't regret it, I can assure you that!
What's great about it: Sound, Quality, Bass
What's not so great: Looks and short cables ( you can buy RCA extension cables for the satellite speakers though)

Grace Digital Internet Radio With Remote 5 Stars!
on July 31, 2010
Posted by: EL305
from Hialeah, FL
More radio stations than you will have time to listen to in your entire life! listen to radio stations from ANY country in the world in the best available quality available, stream audio from your PC over your home network, listen to Pandora, Sirius and other radio services with superb quality, definitely a nice buy!
The only downside (Not a big deal taking into account that this is a INTERNET RADIO) is that it does not have an FM or AM tuner, so even though you CAN listen to your locals, because it automatically locates the area you live and categorizes your area stations, your local stations must broadcast and have internet streams in order for you to be able to listen to them on this radio, but who buys a radio like this to listen to local stations ah?
What's great about it: Quality, Features, Portability
What's not so great: No FM/AM Built in tuner.

Expand your home or office network with this high-speed wireless router that features 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports for rapid connection and data transfer.
Posted by: EL305
from Hialeah, FL
This is an excellent router, Got mine yesterday, I couldn't be happier with it, great speed, long range, easily hooked up my FreeAngent USB drive and now my media and files are available to me in my entire home network and worldwide via FTP and HTTP, easy to setup, love the ability to create a guest network for home visitors etc, this is an awesome device, loving it, not one single crash or disconnection in any device though out the house, oh and finally my Zune finds my home network! The person who gave this router a 1 must have some serious cabling or interference issues or simply don't know how to set up a router.
The only downside I noticed is that the setup wizard CD that comes with it is not compatible with Windows 7, given the fact that Win 7 is around the corner Netgear should have taken care of that, however the router can easily be setup manually by going to http://192.168.1.1/index.htm with your browser.
What's great about it: Excellent Range, Great Speed, HTTP and FTP Access, USB Storage, Great Price!
What's not so great: Setup CD does not work with Windows 7

So you blame this Monitor for your PC's problems? get a better video card or a new computer, your issue has nothing to do with the quality or features of this product.

3 out of 5Poor Execution for the Price
By Firetoad
from Missouri
I have owned and worked with a significant number of routers over the years and I have to say that this is one of the buggiest routers I have worked with to date. Purchasing this router, I really thought that spending the extra money for a quality Linksys would put be in the land of happy. Unfortunately, this router has been anything but happy. When the router is working, it seems to work great. However, the router appears to enjoy randomly rebooting after accessing it through its GUI. The best part is that it doesn't reboot at following every access or even immediately after access. Also, the router's network map likes to utilize the same network device name for different devices (and yes, they are different devices with unique MAC addresses as well as IP's). Given the "simplistic" interface, internet access controls can be difficult to use since it based upon device name and not MAC or IP addresses. I certainly expected so much more from this router given it's nobility-like pricing. I cannot recommend this router given the problems that I have had with it. Doing a quick internet search reveals that I do not stand alone with these issues as there are many out there suffering similarly.

By PairofNoids
I was very skeptical about getting quality performance 35 miles away from my local HD station in East Tennessee mountains. In a nutshell, I love this little radio! I would love a belt clip. The only drawback is there is no AM, just CD quality HD FM and standard FM. Reception is so great that the drawbacks are minimal. Wish list would be a clip, AM, TV audio, and RDS.

By sherlockh64015
Do Not Buy! I received it on 7/30 and it stopped working about a week later, just went black and dead. I finally got it going again and on 8/19 it is doing the same thing. Customer Service said I am 5 days past the return exchange window, so I guess I am stuck with a paperweight. Worthless product and bad product support from Best Buy.

3 out of 5Good Monitor.. Bad Specs
By j0ester
The Monitor is great from my 3ms 22-inch Gateway. But the Input Specifications of, "DisplayPort 1.2 : 60Hz HDMI 1.4 : 30Hz" - IS HORRIBLE! Why is this Monitor not running at HDMI 2.0?? Only draw back about this monitor.
Other than that... not a true 4K Resolution if it's 3840 x 2160
Price is horrible for these 2 major draw backs.

September 13, 2015
If you look carefully in the back there's 1 DisplayPort 1 HDMI 1.4 and there is an HDMI2.0 port, I have connected the display to my Evga GeForce 960 which also has an HDMI2.0 port and then the monitor does 60Hz, of course you can achieve 60Hz with the DisplayPort as well.

Use your existing electrical wiring to extend your WiFi Internet access to any room in your house. Just plug the PowerLINE Adapter into your modem or router, then plug in the companion PowerLINE WiFi access point to an electrical outlet. It's that easy. With 1000 Mbps speed and Homeplug AV2 support, the PowerLINE WiFi 1000 is perfect for connecting smart TVs, streaming players, and game consoles wirelessly.

Clueless?
April 2, 2016
This won't increase the signal, this will "Bring" the signal through your home power lines to the new location where you install the second unit of set, your review tells me that you probably don't know how properly connect this device, this product also creates a "New" Wi-Fi signal in your home which will be more powerful than your previews network, but connecting to that is optional, if the device did not work, it's probably because your house is very old for this technology, I would advice you to hire a pro or a tech savy friend who helps you with the setup, I tell you that this device works like a charm in the three houses I have installed it on.

2 out of 5Less than what I expected...not worth the $
By HiFiNut
Not what I expected for price and word of mouth reviews. Works OK but not without glitches. App is useless. Often need other original MFG remotes to make changes to sound/EQ/options. But, makes watching TV or listening to music fairly easy for family users. Just don't expect a perfect remote for the $ that does it all. Yeah, I know, if I wanted to scroll through allot of screens I could in theory do most of what the mfg remotes do, but it's much easier to hit the single button on a mfg remote than scroll through up to 10 pages of features on the tiny touchscreen. Real value is far less than the $250 or so they charge for this. Recommending only for basic user functions for those who feel a full featured HTX is too complicated. For example, my wife and kids love it. As for me, I do use it to turn everything on. But if you like to tweak settings to adjust sound or TV due to variations in recordings, keep your mfg remotes on the coffee table. Or spend 4x the time doing that on this remote.
