1080p HD Component Video + Coaxial/Optical Toslink Digital Audio to HDMI Converter (100~240V AC) Review

1080p HD Component Video + Coaxial/Optical Toslink Digital Audio to HDMI Converter (100~240V AC)

I bought this for use with my Wii. I have a DVI Computer monitor I use as an HDTV and I can only use HDMI for plugging in Devices, so the Wii's Component wouldn't work for me. I'm currently using this at 480p. Works like a charm. There is no lag in the picture. And it seems like it doesn't loose any quality as well. Anyone interested in getting a Component to HDMI converter should go with this one. I've shopped around and most converters are between 2-3 times as expensive.

GOgroove PurePlay 2.4 Ghz Wireless Headphones with Premium SonusMAX Engineering Technology Review

After a day of use i decided to return these. This is just a very basic newbie's review, so no flaming.
First off the good then bad,
Pros: very good theater sound (bass...), wireless technology worked on my ipad and computer so i was able to get good audio, has good range (yes it works through walls), smells like leather and good feeling?
Cons: Ear cups don't really cover ears and are hard pressing against skull, which makes them uncomfortable after an hour or less. Transmitter must be connected to a power source , either through usb or wall charger (included), would have been good if they added some type of battery run solution to it. The worst part is that since it's wireless runs on 2.4ghz it interfered with my wifi and with other wireless peripherals (Microsoft mouse 4000). For instance, when i plugged the transmitter into my laptop, my wireless speed dropped from 26mbps to .2mbps. When i use my wireless mouse, I loose internet connection on my laptop. So until their is another solution, I don't see this working.

High Resolution Component Input VGA Box for Wii, Ps3, Xbox 360, PSP 2000, and More Review

This is a great product to play your game system on a computer monitor. The picture is great. There IS background noise on the picture that might get a little annoying (I don't really notice it), however, for the price, you really can't ask for a more crisp picture. It's also much smaller than I expected, about 4" x 1.5" by 1". And once you've got it set up, it's extremely easy to use. That said, there are some important things to consider.
*****
THIS IS IMPORTANT: Your monitor MUST be able to run at 1600 x 1200 resolution. You must have a component cable for your system, not a composite. And you must set your system to 480p resolution for it to run. If you don't have ALL of this set up, the system WILL NOT RUN. You will get an image on your monitor telling you that it is out of range.
*****
I had to find this out the HARD way. When I bought the item I didn't have any of these things. Monitors that can run at 1600x1200 are NOT CHEAP but I managed to find a good deal (Less than $200) and had been looking to upgrade from my ancient CRT anyway. The component cable should only cost you about $5 if you don't have one already. The worst part was owning all these things and not knowing that I had to set my system at 480p. This item DOES NOT INCLUDE INSTRUCTIONS. I had to email the manufacturer (Hyperkin) to finally get an answer. Fortunately, they got back to me within two days which is relatively quick.
But after all of that trouble, like I said earlier, I couldn't be happier with what this little thing can do. After all that trouble setting it up, it's really easy to use and gets a great picture for a great price. I would have given it 5 stars if it had come with better instructions and if I had been properly warned of everything I would need to get it to work properly

LG M2362D 23-Inch Widescreen 1080p LCD TV Monitor (Black) Review

I bought this a few weeks ago, and so far it's met all of my expectations.
First of all -- things that I had trouble finding out in advance: There is a headphone jack on the side, which can be used as an analog audio out (I'm pretty sure it came with a cable even -- 3.5mm to audio RCA connector) -- in addition to the optical digital audio out which is on the back. I haven't tested this yet, so I couldn't say if there is an actual difference in sound quality between either of the sources. I also don't know if it can output sound through both at the same time.
Also, although the stand and "frame" are glossy, the actual screen has a matte anti-glare coating which I find works very well.

As a TV: It looks great! I have it hooked up through component cables to my comcast dvr .. no issues at all. Plugged it in, and it just worked. The default display setting for some reason was the "vivid" color profile.. I played around with settings a bit, but I decided I like the vivid profile the best anyway.
One feature that I really like is that it can be set to adjust the aspect ratio automatically based on the programming. So when I switch to non-HD channels the aspect automatically adjusts, so I don't have to see any stretched faces. I don't have to ever press the aspect button to change it. Of course if you prefer to set it manually, it lets you do that too.
As a computer monitor: I'm currently using DVI. It looked great when I first plugged it in. Some of this might be my video card, but it automatically selected the best resolution, etc. It was possibly a little too blue-ish for my taste (probably only because I have it right next to a gateway lcd which is a little brighter and has more "warm" tones, which I prefer -- if the second monitor wasn't sitting right next to it, I think I'd have gotten used to it immediately). I adjusted the display settings, which helped a bit, and then adjusted the video card settings which helped a lot more. The second I told windows to use my video card color/video settings rather than windows, it looks PERFECT. I also adjusted the gamma on the monitor, I like my display to be very bright.
I can't comment on the sound (my dvr and computer's audio goes directly to my receiver), or the remote (I use a logitech harmony, it was very easy to set up). I also can't comment on the built in hdtv tuner, I never hooked up an antenna or cable line directly to the tv, and it won't pick up any channels without one or the other.
The only con that I can think of right now is the fact that there are no dedicated buttons for changing the input mode. You have to scroll through them -- although with the exception of the TV input (coaxial) it will not select sources that are not plugged in, which is nice. I would have liked if it wouldn't select "TV" unless I had something plugged in to that input, but it's not that big of a deal.
Oddly, even though there aren't any dedicated input buttons, my harmony remote was still somehow able to get it to switch directly to component from any other input.. This did not work with any of the other input sources though, just component. Maybe there is a hidden functionality in there somewhere, though.. I might look into it one day.
Oh, it also takes a little longer than I would like to "wake up" but I am very impatient in general, this might not bother most people.
Anyway, I think this is a great monitor and a great tv, and I am VERY happy with my purchase! I just wish I'd been able to afford the 27" instead!
