Great memory card for my Dslr.

Posted by: mdthompson
I purchase this card in the store after reading reviews online stating confusion on Bestbuy's part with the Extreme version vs. Ultra version of sdhc cards offered by Sandisk. The card has performed better then expected even when writing large files in Raw and JPEG to the card using my A55 camera taking an unnoticed amount of time leaving me to only worry about picture taking. The lifetime warranty is a major selling point for this card as well as the fact its waterproof. Very pleased with this memory card.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Another great HDMI from Audioquest

I purchased the AudioQuest Cinnamon 6-5/9' as an HdmI cable for my dish reciever wanting a good high quality cable at a better price then the Choclate HdmI cable of witch I own three for bluray players and video game units. The Chinnamon did not disapoint still super high build quality and a great video/audio reproduction. Audioquest uses silver as its conducter material being much better then gold in its conducter abilities. Just like all Audioquest cables a great buy for the Audiphile/Videophile out there.
What's great about it: Build quality great picture and sound reproduction.
What's not so great: Nothing.

I recently purchased a high quality hdtv and wanted there to be no weak links so I bit the bullet and went with the Audioquest HDMI cables and wow am I glad I did, super high quality build, great video image reproduction and a great solid connection with my a/v devices. I have no regrets on my purchase of these high quality Audioquest cables. I have three of the chocolate HDMI cables and cant say enough of how great Audioquest connection solutions are. All I can say is thank you Audioquest and also thank you to the Magnolia staff for all your input in my decision making.
What's great about it: Great build quality, strong and great performance.
What's not so great: A little pricey for most.

Learn more about Magnolia Premium Installation This speaker cable features semi-solid concentric packed conductors for excellent signal conductivity and a long-grain copper design for fewer grain boundaries and lower distortion.

I really don't know why I waited so long to upgrade my speaker wires, after installing the Audioquest X-2 speaker cables I was rewarded with a clean distortion free and extreamly rich sound not yet experienced with my home theater system. The decision was easy enough to make when I realized that even though I had spent top dollar on speakers and a reciever but then inturn conected those devices with .02 cents a yard cables how could I posibley achieve any kind of true sound reproduction (the saying is very true the chain is only as strong as the weakest link). I was unsure if I would experience a difference in sound reproduction but was plesantly suprized, all my conections are currently being upgraded to Audioquest. All I can say is thank you Audioquest!
What's great about it: Very high quaility build very easy to install.
What's not so great: Nothing.

I bought a vizio 1080p 240 hz led tv and want to hook up my xbox 360 with a hdmi cord is there a cord that has 240 hz rate & which would be the best?
Try not to pay attention to the Hz when it comes to cables its not the same measurement as what you see displayed all over tv's. All 1.3 HDMI cables will support your Vizio television the Hz measurement you see on LCD tv's specifically is a measure of how many images are displyed per second the more images displayed the less artifacting you will see. Just buy a good quaility cable like one from Monster or Audioquest expect to pay About 40 to 60 dollars for a good quaility cable.

my new hdtv 32 in has a blue line down the screen???
I hope your new hdtv is less then a year old cause chances are its a problem with your tv and would still be under warranty there could be a chance that the cables you use to connect to your tv for video are damaged from shipping or defect in the manufacture process a small chance but still a chance get you product manual and call the 1-800 number they may be able to better help as Don't know what kind of tv you have.

How do I know which HDMI cable to get for my new Sony Blue Ray to go to my Samsung HGTV ?
Most new HDMI cables found at bestbuy will work if not all hdmi cables you should expect to pay anywhere from 20 to 500 dollars based on what you want to spend. All cables are pretty similar in video reproduction.

what is a dvi cable, and what is an in wall hdmi cable
Digital Visual Interface (DVI) is the cable you would see in almost all modern day pc as well as most mac home computers its the cable that connects the monitor to the pc for highdef video connection. An in wall HDMI cable is a cable rated to be run in your wall for example behind the sheet rock found in most homes today these cables carry a CL2 rating.

I want to hook my PC to TV I know i need HDMI cord to get a picture, but what cord do I need for AUDIO?
HDMI is an all in one audio and video cable you will need no other cable. The only thing I would check is to make sure your pc has an HDMI port if not you will need to use a dvi cable with component (the red and white cables) for audio the dvi is the cable you use as standard for your pc monitor.

is there a wireless HDMI system so my cable running along the wall can be eliminated?
I have found a couple solutions for wireless HDMI or highdef connection to an hdtv they all seem to be rather expensive but one that seems to do the best job of wireless connection is from a company called gefen for about 600 dollars and from what I can tell does a good job. Another solution you may consider is a flat hdmi cable that can be hidden with ease and are a much better price they also make flat power cables that also can be hidden with ease.

Why is my dvd still skipping after cleaning with dynex dvd lens cleaner?
I Am useing Dynex dvd cleaner for my dvd player, and it is still skipping What can I do? I have cleaned it four times and it is a little better. Help!! !
Two things you should consider doing.
1. Take a little time and clean all your dvd's with a clean damp cloth starting from the inside of the disk working out towards the edges never in a circle.
2. Limit the use of rentals, rental disks are the single largest reason the lens of your dvd player gets dirty. You would not think it but it is true ALWAYS CLEAN RENTAL DISKS BEFORE USING THEM.
If these don't help consider the age of your dvd player often the laser gets weaker with time and use making it harder for your device to read disks with imperfections not seen by the naked eye. An upgrade may be the only answer. I hope this helps.

What cables do I need?
I have a Samsung LN32B640 R3F HDTV. I am going to buy a Sony Blu-ray disc player, model 360 . What cables do I have to buy to get this to work ?
The short and long of your question is HDMI. You have an hdtv and you will be getting a blu-ray player the only way to get the full 1080p experience is to use HDMI I know those cables are a little more expensive but you won't regreat the decision.
