A quartet beats a duet... every time!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brendang - I purchased my G0 Q6600 from ClubIT back in late October, 2007 when the G0's (the new stepping, at that time, versus the older B3 version) were scarce, so I went with a vendor who guaranteed that I would get one (versus the distinct possibility of...

All Hail The Mighty Cube!

Sat, 27 Dec 2008 16:38:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brendang - We've always been skeptical about those tiny Electrosol cubes, which is why we never strayed from our beloved Cascade magic dishwashing pixie dust and separate Jet-Dry liquid. There's just no way that tiny cube could possibly perform as well as a...

Is this thing running?!

Sat, 27 Dec 2008 00:34:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brendang - That's the first impression you get when you run your first few loads. You press your ear against the door, or open it up to see if everything is getting wet. You just don't believe that it can actually *operate* effectively with such a lack of...

Superior Image Quality. Inferior Build Quality.

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author brendang - I purchased my Samsung 305T on October 18, 2007 from Buy.com. For a number of years prior to that I had been using a large tandem LCD display setup and never thought I would ever go "back" to using a single display. Dual displays take your...

Not bad, but wouldn't buy again.

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author brendang - I purchased this unit new at my local Home Depot for $700, after a $200 discount (originally $900). Upon inspection at Home Depot it looked like the best unit for the money. It is well constructed and comes almost fully assembled in the box with a few...

What's going on over at Samsung?!

Tue, 3 Jul 2007 23:07:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brendang - In the blink of an eye it seems as though Korean manufacturer Samsung has gone from plastic asian junk peddler to the world class benchmark product producer! Their LCD televisions, various electronics, and now major home appliances are not only well made...

Tech for Less: BELIEVE THIS SKEPTIC! Tech 4 Less is the real deal!

Tue, 20 Jun 2006 15:28:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brendang - I was in the market for a Sony DSC-R1 digital camera. Most of the "reputable" sites on the internet were selling it at or near list -- $999. A few of the "familiar" Crooklyn names (and we all know who they are) were pulling their scams in the $650-$750...

The Eizo L675 - Mother of all 18.1" DFPs!

Tue, 23 Oct 2001 18:15:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brendang - Background Information

I've used just about every flat panel display in this size (18.1") on the face of the planet. I have used both the NEC LCD1810X and LCD1830 (see my Epinions on both), the Viewsonic VP181 and VG181, the Sony M81,...

Great deals to be had...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brendang - Introduction

While I'm no professional photographer, I would certainly classify myself as an amateur who likes to do things right. The consumer market is flooded with an infinite number of point and shoot cameras, both film and digital,...

Acer ScanPremio ST: Decent scanner IF you get a good deal

Mon, 16 Jul 2001 16:21:54 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author brendang - It's FINISHED! After a month of leaving this review unfinished, I finally got back to it and completed it. Thanks to all who refrained from giving me bad marks for my poor form. Feel free to critique to your heart's content now. While I was...

This IS the Big, Bad Wolf!

Wed, 27 Jun 2001 01:03:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brendang - I've either seen or used just about every higher-end LCD Flat Panel display on the market (see our soon-to-be released site DisplayReport.com and LCDGuide.com). If you'll read my other Epinions on the NEC MultiSync LCD1810X and LCD1830, you'll find that...

Best bang for the buck!

Tue, 26 Jun 2001 16:29:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brendang - After having a painful experience with a couple of NEC MultiSync LCD1810Xs, which you can read about in my Epinion on the LCD1810X, I reluctantly purchased another NEC to try out, this time the lower-end LCD1830, and I was glad I did.

I...

Bad luck or bad product?

Tue, 26 Jun 2001 15:18:16 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author brendang - After having a string of successes with a myriad of NEC CRT displays I naturally assumed that I would have a similar experience when I chose the NEC MultiSync LCD1810X. Alas, I most certainly did not.

I scoured the web in search of the best...

For the money, it's #1

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brendang - My wife began taking lessons about a year ago. Unfortunately her lessons are taught by a co-worker at her place of business, so a portable piano was necessary. The tiny Casio keyboard just wasn't cutting it. Her teacher has a Roland EP70, which was what...
