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
What's not so great: Nothing so far.

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.

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.

A huge waste of money as I normally have to use the cable and tv remotes to turn everything on, vs. this product which is supposed to do that. Works most of the time for volume and about 60% / 40% to turn on Netflix on the first try.

Learn how to configure it.

Before posting a review you should first understand that there is a learning curve with such an advanced piece of technology, if you still need to use your old remotes to control the TV and the cable box you are obviously doing something wrong, your Harmony is not programmed properly, please ask for support or pay a pro to do it for you, do not give a product a bad review just because you don't know how to use it.

The programming method is interesting, if not a bit unreliable. The functionality is good but at times too good, Turning things on and off with the slightest nudge or touch.

There's a setting to lock the remote.
October 12, 2016
Hi Andy,
there's a setting on the remote that locks it automatically after not being used for say 5, 10, 15 seconds etc, when you enable that the touch screen will be locked until you swipe your fingers from top to bottom or viceversa on it, try it, click on the tool icon on the top left of the screen, then go to settings then go to Remote, then Screen Lock/Time Out to enable this feature.

By BobM99
Compatible with all the equipment I tested. However, the buttons are, in my opinion, too sensitive. It is easy to bump the remote and kick off a different activity.

Stream your favorite TV shows and movies straight to your TV with the Roku Ultra. It has voice search to make finding your next binge easier, and it's compatible with 4K Ultra HD displays for crystal-clear picture quality. The Roku Ultra includes a lost remote finder so you never have to search the couch cushions again.

3 out of 5Solid but...
By Daniel
This is great for what it is, meaning it has 4k capabilities and HDR. The downfall is the HDCP 2.2 issue. The screen will turn purple and say HDCP unauthorized... the only way to get that to go away is if you pull out the HDMI cable and put it back in and or rest the roku through the settings. It's a HUGE pain!! Hopefully a software update will help but as of now regardless if you have an HDMI 2.2 cable, 4k TV with HDCP compliance and or HDR support you will have this issue. I will recommend this because it's better than not having anything because it's the only thing on the market that has streaming apps like Netflix, Amazon and VUDU with 4K and HDR CONTENT besides a TCL & Vizio TV. Let's be real though if your a fan of the latest and greatest TV you aren't looking at a TCL or Vizio TV even though Vizio stepped up their game they still are mid to low... I have a Samsung 65KS8000.

I'm experiencing the exact same issue, no matter what HDMI cables I use, even using a $100 Monster HDMI cable I'm still having this problem, hopefully they will fix this soon.
