I recently bought this TV for my fiancee from a local retailer, and I am quite pleased with it.
I am quite sure there are HDTVs out there that have a much better picture quality, but this is a massive improvement over my fiancee's old analog tube TV.
There are also several inherent advantages this has over the old tube monster.
1) Even though this TV has a bigger screen, it still takes up not even 1/4 the space of the old tube.
2) This TV weighs about 1/8 of the old tube.
3) Being this is an LED illuminated TV, it uses considerably less power, drawing a mere 12 volts instead of the tube's 115 volts.
4) This TV has an expected operating lifespan around double that of a tube TV.
About the TV, I had already read multiple reviews about it, many of them deriding the sound quality.
There is, however, a very good explanation and solution for that problem.
First, you need to go into the menu, then look under the Audio settings and switch off "Surround Sound" to put it back to standard stereo.
Unfortunately, the default setting has that switched on.
The so called "Surround Sound" on this is a cheap imitation not even as good as Dolby Pro-Logic, and it does indeed make it sound as if the sound is being played underwater, with a lot of gimmicky swirling effects.
Very annoying, that.
Switching that off produces a very acceptable stereo sound image.
However, yes, this is a super thin TV of only one inch thickness, and that necessitates very shallow speaker cones, so this makes for rather undersized speakers that are about as good as standard computer speakers.
However, the manufacturer had the presence of mind to have a headphone jack built into the back of the unit, which easily allows you to simply plug in a better set of speakers to improve the sound.
Besides, I suspect most serious movie watchers will dispense with the sound from the TV altogether by having their DVD player and satellite tuner play through a proper high end 5.1 setup.
As for myself, until I get around to moving my Yamaha 5.1 setup over to my fiancee's house, we are both perfectly content to watch movies on this nice little TV with its integral speakers.
Another aspect of this TV that is noteworthy is that it includes two HDMI jacks, making it a simple matter to hook up the satellite tuner to HDMI1 and the DVD player to HDMI2.
We then simply use the "Input" button on the remote to select between the two HDMI jacks to watch either what DishNetwork is broadcasting or a DVD.
For anyone who wants to know, yes, this includes an ATSC tuner, so anyone with a rooftop antenna or rabbit ears for over-the-air broadcasts will be able to seamlessly watch TV without requiring a separate converter box.
It also includes A/V jacks (Yellow-Video, Red-Right Audio Channel, White-Left Audio Channel), so you can easily hook up your three wire A/V cable to it.
It also has an RF connector for those of you who hook up your TV to coax cables.
Finally, for input, it also has the component video hookups (RGB) for the best picture short of HDMI.
Other jacks this TV includes are:
1) A COAX connector for hookup to a 5.1 COAX connection
2) Headphone jack (already mentioned above)
3) Two HDMI jacks (already mentioned above)
4) VGA connector that allows hookup to a computer's standard D-Sub video cable
5) Audio jack that allows an audio device to play through the speakers on the TV => often used with a computer sound card
6) Power
7) USB, which I seriously doubt anyone will have occasion to use, as it is intended strictly for updating the TV firmware
Are there better TVs out there?
Absolutely, and the one I intend to get when I can eventually afford it is the 32" Samsung LED TV.
However, this is small enough that it sits nicely on my fiancee's rather top heavy DVD cabinet, and it is quite nice for spending an afternoon sitting on the couch together.
You will really enjoy this TV, and you can even completely bypass the speakers if you don't like them if you so choose.
***ADDITIONAL TECHNICAL INFORMATION***
Having used this TV for the last few months, I have discovered two useful bits of information.
1) If you are looking to program a universal remote to work with this TV, I would suggest you look under the Samsung TV section for a valid code.
I did that with our DishNetwork remote, and we can fully control this TV with it.
2) This TV has a COAX jack to allow an external A/V receiver to decode digital audio to output to speakers.
The jack works for that purpose, but with one small problem, which is that the audio that comes out of it is limited to stereo ONLY.
Anyone wanting to listen to stereo only through his receiver won't mind that, but you will not be able to get 5.1 or other surround sound out of that jack.
We overcame that problem using our Toshiba 1080p upscaling DVD player by hooking the TV HDMI input to the HDMI output of the player, then hooked the COAX output jack on the rear of the DVD player directly to the COAX input of our A/V receiver.
We now fully enjoy Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS 6.1/5.1 this way.

Samsung HMX-R10 HD Flash Memory Camcorder with 5x Optical Zoom (Silver) Review

(More customer reviews)
I have had this one for about 2 weeks.... this replaces a bigger 1080i Sony HDR video camera (built in 30 gb spinning hard drive) that we purchased may 2007 for $1600 AND LOST... For this current price, this can't be beat. I have had the chance to review both the movie quality and photo quality and still pleased., although it may be slightly inferior to my previous camera.
IT would not be fair to compare this camera to my older Sony, (kind of like comparing a nice point and shoot camera to one that that is an SLR)...
However, I would still buy this one for the price point..
Things that are different are:
Image stabilization.... Althought this one is so bad, it is not as forgiving as the Sony....partly because it is smaller, weighs much less and less likely to use 2 hands as we were with the Sony.
Compared to the Sony, this one is faster, more responsive and faster to download to and from.
The biggest thing about this camera is that this is a "point and shoot" video camera and not something that you will be using to film weddings professionally. For us, that was our primary use.
This camera does take gorgeous 1080i movies, however, the image quality is lessened indoors or under suboptimal lighting. You can take photos while shooting video, however, the picture resolutions are downgraded during this and we are starting to avoid doing this.
The Flash memory card is great!, the speed at which it "comes to life" is great.
The camera has a feature called Ique or something, that basically "optimizes" settings for those that don't know how, or too lazy. As of now, we leave this setting on all the time.
The battery life is about 90-100 minutes... We charge it every 3-4 days.
Although there is no lens cover and it is "scratch resistant" this is something that I am a little leary of, and I can see how it can get scratched.
I was thinking about the angle at which the camera is set up, It is okay, it doesn't take much to get used to, but in playing around, I find that the if the camera was flipped 180 degrees, this would be optimal and even more ergonomic (if it were like a pistol grip)... It is not really feasible to use it like this, because the movies come out upside down and the view screen is on the wrong side...
Finally, although this has a high megapixel still photo, when I was using the 12.0 megapixel setting, I found it almost impossible to keep it still enough to prevent blur.. I end up using it on 6mp...I am satisfied with these photos.
One last thing, when i went to repurchase this new camera, at first I was really interested in getting one "with a bigger built in hard drive" than my previous Sony with the 30 gb hard drive.... I think this was faulty thinking...if you had a larger hard drive.. you would be more likely to not download (or backup) the movies and risk losing them if something happened to your camera. (we lost 2 months of photos of a newborn from the last camera)... Second, I would strongly urge you to consider flash memory camera, either a SSD or flash based media. because of speed, battery and size and safety..

Sharp LC-40C32U AQUOS LCD 32" HDTV with Integrated ATSC Tuner Review

Average Reviews:

I recently decided to break out from the stone-age from my old flat screen tube TV to this LCD HDTV. What a purchase! This is my very first LCD HDTV purchase and I must say I'm not disappointed at all. Originally I had it hooked up directly to a cable coax, no digital converter, which made the picture pretty fuzzy. This was solved once I decided to splurge and get the extra converter for it. Digital converters really do make a big difference. I don't have it currently hooked up to anything HD at this time, just a standard DVD player and the digital cable box, so I can't make any HD picture judgments just yet. The sound that comes from the speakers is extremely crisp and clear. I could tell an immediate difference between the Aquos and my old Toshiba. It's pretty light for such a decently sized TV. It looks a lot larger than a 32" TV though. I would have guessed 37" when I took it out of the box, but unfortunately the owners manual reminded me otherwise. Darn.
Overall, if you're looking for a high quality LCD HDTV without spending an arm and a leg, go with the Aquos from Sharp. The picture is crisp, lifelike, and sharp (no pun intended) in every aspect. The sound has a fantastic range and sounds as clear as a high-end system. The functionality and ease of use is great and very user friendly. Again, overall, a great buy. If you find one at a decent price, don't hesitate to buy it. 5 stars all the way.

Toshiba 42HM66 42-Inch 720p DLP HDTV Review

Toshiba 42HM66 42-Inch 720p DLP HDTV
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
It is January 2007 and I have used this TV now for about one week. I was going to wait longer to post a review, but since there are none up here, I thought it would be useful to potential buyers to have it now.
I bought this TV for my mother as a Christmas gift and my budget was $1000. For that amount of money the HDTV choices were: 27" to 37" 720p LCD; 32" to 35" CRT- based sets; and a few 40-42" DLP sets. Given that the set was for a living room, size was an important priority. So that meant examining most seriously the DLP options.
Most DLP sets I looked at in the stores had a pretty decent image when viewed straight on, but like most other rear-projection TVs, rapidly fell off in brightness when viewed off axis. One exception was a 56" Toshiba DLP set which looked better than the others. Try as I might, I was unable to find the 42HM66 in a store, but what finally convinced me to buy it sight-unseen, was the Consumer Reports article which had Toshiba sets taking all of the top positions in the December 2006 ratings of DLP TVs. Though Consumer Reports did not evaluate DLP TVs smaller than 50", I noted that the 42HM66 was of the same series number as one of the best-rated Toshiba sets. So I decided to take a chance. Next the results.
Having viewed it about 20 hours I have to say the picture is truly excellent for a 720p set. Colors are bright and the screen has a difficult-to-describe luminous liveliness absent from my new 40" Samsung LCD. Outdoor HD nature programming is particularly stunning. A nice surprise was the good off-axis performance. Though straight-on is still best, the image is quite bright out to about 45 degrees from perpendicular, much better than most other DLPs I have seen! Consumer Reports rated the larger Toshiba DLP sets with their highest picture quality rating. I would second that high rating for the 42HM66, it truly delivers the goods. I prefer its picture to that of my new Samsung LCD, which is also 720p, not the latest 1080p, and the Samsung cost 40% more. Image quality = a well-deserved 5 stars.
Where the 42HM66 shows its limitations is in the sound subsystem. The speakers are weak with little bass response. When using digital input sources one needs to turn it up nearly all the way. Analog channels don't seem to have this problem. So when switching between analog and digital sources, one often needs to step the volume up and down, a recurring annoyance. I think most would find the sound performance seriously lacking, but this is easy to fix if you have a stereo receiver or AV sound system to plug into using the available line-out jacks. Sound quality = 2 stars.
Now for convenience and user-friendliness. It is equipped with only one HDMI jack, so if you want to plug in 2 digital sources, like an upconverting DVD player and an HD cable box, you will have to plug one into the component or S-video input; but for a price of only $1000 this is not surprising.
The TV was also not quite as simple to setup as my recently purchased Samsung. The auto-program feature was difficult to find, so if you are giving it as a gift to a technically-challenged person, make sure they get some help. I found the remote disappointing for it had small equally-sized buttons and the control layout was not very intuitive. But once you learn how to get into the menus and where things are, it becomes acceptable. Sadly it could be so much better with just a few minor changes. Kudos to Samsung for their excellent remotes. User friendliness = 3 stars.
Now for the bottom line. I didn't expect the 42HM66 to be perfect all around, but in the one area which counts most... picture quality... it is a top-notch performer. Weak sound is easily remedied and the remote works OK once you learn it, but a bad picture cannot be fixed in any way. This is a GREAT choice if you need 40+" in screen size and don't want to sacrifice image quality on a budget of only $1000. My mother is simply blown away by the picture and I am VERY happy with this purchase... and Amazon's free shipping made it just that much better. The set has yet to accumulate serious viewing hours, so I will not comment on its reliability, but if I run into problems down the road I will revisit this review. For now... my bottom line overall rating: A solid 4-1/2 stars.
P.S. The free Amazon shipping via Eagle was great. They called in advance, came when they said they would, were courteous, and the package was delivered in excellent condition. Kudos. I felt like giving them a tip :)
UPDATE - May 5, 2007
Last week the set blew out the projection lamp after 4 months of use. Replacement under warranty was simple, I just called Toshiba and they quickly sent out a new lamp without any fuss. The lamp comes in a cartridge that is easily removed from the left side of the set. I asked about lamp life and was told that 8,000 to 10,000 hours was the average and that mine went prematurely. They also said each replacement lamp comes with a 6 month warranty independent of the set. Out of warranty the lamp costs about $200. One needs to be aware of this issue with DLP HDTVs and be prepared to have this happen eventually. Still love the TV. The picture is SO good I would buy it again despite this quirk.

Samsung HT-WS1R Soundbar Review

Samsung HT-WS1R Soundbar
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been looking at soundbar systems for over a year now. It all started when I decided to add an Xbox360 and a blu-ray player to my home setup. I had a specific setup and a specific list of issues I was trying to resolve and I ended up getting a full 5.1 surround system to go with my blu-ray. It was pretty good, but then we decided to move into a new place and the tv had to go in a cutout above the fireplace. This created a problem because I didn't want to run wires all over the place and there was no way to get wires run out of the fireplace cutout without putting a hole in the wall...so, these are the issues I finally ended up needed to address:
1. I needed something that would sit in front of my TV, but not be too big because it would block the view of the bottom of the screen (the TV is a little high up)
2. I needed something that would generate a better range of sound than my tv's built-in speakers (I often have trouble hearing what people are saying, especially when there's other sounds in the show or if there's background noise like my kids or my dishwasher running etc...)
3. I needed something that would generate more volume than my tv's built-in speakers (again, just want to be able to turn it out without the sound turning to crap).
4. I needed something that would put out some bass.
5. I needed something with a digital audio interface (so either optical audio or HDMI) because analog audio sounds like garbage and picks up a lot of noise from interference.
6. I didn't want to spend $500+.
So, I looked at several systems. Most of the soundbars are small enough to sit in front of my TV without blocking my view, but some of them were very big...so I eliminated them from my list. Almost all of the soundbars had better sound than my built-in TV, but I crossed the cheap-o brands off of my list. Again, volume wasn't an issue...in-store testing revealed that all of the soundbar systems available put out quite a bit more sound than my TV without any loss of quality. And again, any soundbar with an active subwoofer generate a lot more bass than my tv, but I did have an issue putting a sub up on the shelf behind my TV. A lot of these systems have an infrared receiver for use with a remote control, and several of them put it on the subwoofer. For me to use that I would have to put the subwoofer on the floor and run a cable up to the TV/Soundbar...which isn't an options for me. So I narrowed my search to system with a wireless subwoofer. The digital audio interface was a little trickier, several of the soundbars only have analog inputs (either the Red/White RCA connection or the miniplug headphone connection). This is fine if you just to hookup an ipod or something like that, but if you want it to process any digital audio (like PCM, Dolby Digital, or DTS) then you need either an optical connection or an HDMI connection. I crossed a few more off the list. The price was the biggest differentiator...there are a handful of decent soundbars under $300...and then there's a rather big jump to $600 & $900+...I don't see any reason to spend this much money on a soundbar unless you absolutely have to. That much money would be better spent installing a full surround system if you can.
So, taking all this into consideration, I ended up looking at the Samsung HT-WS1R. It is listed at $300 and comes in either Red or Grey. I went in to my local best-buy and they happened to have a Red model open box for $270. I had been waiting a long time to pull the trigger on this decision, and I decided to go for it.
A couple points:
1. The best-buy salesperson told me it was a 3.1 system...it is NOT. It is a 2.1 system, which mean it has two speakers and one subwoofer. A 3.1 system will tend to give you better stereo separation (sound moves from left to right when the car goes driving by on the tv) and the center channel will give better vocal range for voices...but in a small soundbar like this you'd hardly notice.
2. The best-buy salesperson also tried to sell me a $30 optical cable. My friend who was with me told me he had one so I didn't buy one, but when I got it home and opened the box I found that it came with a nice optical cable...so you don't need to buy anything for this to work.
The Results:
So I got this home and had it hooked up in under 30 minutes. Be careful connecting the optical cable...there are little rubber caps on the end of the cable that need to be removed, and on mine they were clear so i didn't see them...might have done some damage if I hadn't noticed.
This unit easily met all of my requirements. The volume is much greater than my TV. It is a LOT easier to understand voices. The sub puts out a lot of good, solid bass (really adds to the drama of movies etc...). It looks good, and it all fits the way I want. I put the sub on the floor next to the fireplace and it's creating great sound. I might move it behind the couch and see how that sounds.
Pros:
1. Good value for the money
2. Looks very nice
3. Easy hookup
4. Great sound (quality and volume)
Cons:
1. Can't adjust sub output. (not directly at least. The soundbar has 3 audio modes, News, Cinema, and Music. It also has Passthrough which just plays it how it gets it from the TV...so you can adjust the levels on your TV if you want)
2. Had some issues getting my logitech harmony remote to control this unit, but got that sorted by programming the remote directly using Raw commands.
3. Doesn't have HDMI pass-through which would be nice if I wanted to connect multiple devices directly to this system, but my TV has 3 so I just use the TV to pass the digital audio to the soundbar and it works great.
So, if you're in my position or something similar this is a great buy. I haven't had any issues with sound quality, volume, or subwoofer cut-out. The reviewers that claim that this puts out less volume than their TV must have set this up wrong because it puts out A LOT of volume...I can't turn it up all the way because it would be way too loud...I turn it up to about 4 out of 8.
If you don't have a universal remote and want to hook a bunch of HDMI devices to a TV that only has one or two HDMI inputs, you should look at the Sony HTCT-100 or HTCT-500. They both have multimple HDMI inputs and the subwoofer acts like an AV Receives, so you can control your inputs using it. But, it is not a wireless subwoofer so it will have to have a physical connection to the TV and the Soundbar.
10/6/2010 Update!!!
Two comments
1. I keep the unit on "News" mode all the time now. It's easiest for me to hear dialogue (I think I have a little trouble hearing in this range) and it keeps the bass at a nice level.
2. A lot of people have commented on the sub going in and out. I have discovered through usage that the sub turns off at lower volumes...specifically when the volume is two click below 4 bars (or lower). I haven't noticed any issues with sound but I hear the sub turn off and on when i toggle the volume at that level...i typically keep the volume right at 4 bars except when i'm watching dvds...the volume output of my blu-ray player is lower than the tv so i typically have to turn it up when i watch dvds.
Otherwise, i'm very happy with this purchase and won't even consider an upgrade until someone puts out a 3-channel soundbar with wireless sub + rear speakers!
End Update!!!

PowerDVD 10 Ultra 3D Review

PowerDVD 10 Ultra 3D
Average Reviews:

I have PowerDVD 5, which is great. I only got PowerDVD 10 Ultra 3D because 5 doesn't work well on Windows 7 and I wanted a PowerDVD version that supports Blu-ray playback. If you download the trial version you'll see all the interface problems this version has. Why should a $100 program have interface problems? Version 5 didn't and never cost this much. If you buy the full version of PowerDVD 10 Ultra 3D you can download the patch which fixes most of the interface problems, but not all. I agree that there's toooooo much commercialism packed into this program. It can be very annoying. The True Theater Video gives the picture quality more detail and it plays Blu-ray but the 3D feature won't work on regular computer monitors. The True Theater Audio gives the sound more clarity and is a very nice addition to the program, but as far as I can tell, they haven't improved upon it enough to warrant the high price tag. I wouldn't have bought this if I hadn't been able to get it at a much lower price.
If you have Windows XP or Windows Vista, don't have a Blu-ray drive, and don't plan on upgrading to Windows 7, get PowerDVD 5. It's way better and way cheaper and no commercialism. PowerDVD has definitely gone down the hill since version 5. I like PowerDVD 10 Ultra 3D but if you're gonna get a program this expensive, it has to be FANTASTIC, not just OK.
