Quality Issues With Geneva XL
937423
The attractive design and quality sound is offset by poor build quality of the docking plate on the top of our Geneva XL. My unit was purchase in August 2011. Weirdly,the remote to control the iPod (120gb Classic), has only worked three times and for only a couple of inputs. Most of the time it doesn't work at all. Because we were controlling the iPod directly as opposed to with the remote,I was worried the iPod connector would break so I connected the iPod via the auxiliary audio input on top of the unit. This now does not work and it appears an internal connection must be broken.

This entire control unit on the top of the XL seems quite flimsy, not up to the quality of the rest of the unit. It's fragility to me is a design flaw. Fortunately I am covered under the warranty period but I am not looking forward to removing the base and lugging the 85 lb. unit back to the store.

First and fore most this backpack is amazing. I love the compartments, the flexibility of changing parts and changing parts. Fair WARNING!!! Check the stitching on it before you put your $1300 laptop in it, along with work clothes, because the weight of it may cause holes. I am very disappointed with the quality in this one. I am hoping that this bag is just defective.
I don't know how to get a hold of customer service for this product. So I am hoping that someone here can help me find them and give eithet a call or email. Im sure they will replace it. I will update when I can. I would give it five stars but one of the waist traps fell off while I was walking. I didn't notice it was gone til the next day and so far a $15 dollar backpack can hold up stronger than this one.

The material of the set is incredibly soft which is positive factor for comfort and sleeping.  It feels like sleeping in your favorite ancient t-shirt. The color is wonderful shade of blue with detailing that is understated and elegant.  The size of sheets is generous and fits an extra large mattress perfectly.  I would love to rate this 5 stars for the reasons listed but instead I must rate it 2 stars.  When I opened package it was obvious the stiching was incomplete and ragged. I cut all loose threads and hoped it would take the first wash.  After first wash 50% of stiching came out.  I am disappointed in the Quality Control and lack of inspection. If the sheet set had been properly inspected it would have been rejected due to workmanship of stiching. Although, the sheet set has potential for 5 stars the product I received is defective.

Just got around to laundry and there is a defect in the top cover. Amazon says its too late to return. The XL twin version in the same order was fine. Not impressed.

I don't want to discourage anyone from buying this particular LCD-but its likely that this set has been plagued by quality control problems.

The $1299.99 price tag that this TV was selling at Costco during the Thanksgiving Day weekend was a bargain that I couldn't find anywhere else. This was an impulse buy by the wife, and all my research on the set started after we got it home. I was actually happy that we got a good deal.

Note that even at the current $1499.99 price tag, this is a great bargain, if you can still find a set that works without any problems.

Since a lot has been discussed about this TV on avsforums, I will list only the CONs here and the troubles I had with this TV:

Limitations:

1) PIP works only with HDMI source

2) No elegant on-screen display of volume control

Problems:

a) The first set(Nov 2005 production batch) I bought was great. Everything worked fine- however, a week or so later, I started noticing a darkened arc in the center of the screen at the bottom. This would not be visible all the time. But, it would be obvious when watching movies with the black bars on the top and bottom. I wonder whether this is due to some pressure applied by the stand or any other part on the display.

Also, some other issues- I'm not sure if these were specific to this set.

b) I wasn't able to get the slideshow feature work after inserting a USB thumb drive.

c) Also, I wasn't able to get my Canon G3 digital camera connected to playback video or pictures or use it as a live source. My 21 inch Sony VEGA CRT can do this with ease.

I kept the TV for nearly 3 weeks, and then reluctantly exchanged it for the only other piece my neighborhood Costco had in their inventory.

The second set(Oct 2005 batch) had a different problem altogether- this time it was the audio. There was a high pitched audible hiss on channels (AV2, AV3,SIDE) that were not connected to a source. The hiss was also audible when changing channels. I tried isolating the problem, but noticed that even after removing all the input sources, it persisted. It went back to Costco the same afternoon.

I don't think a firmware upgrade would have helped in either case. I was reluctant to make any changes to the set as I was worried that I might run into more problems.

I would rate this a 3.5 if amazon allowed a .5 rating

I got my first HS20 in the beginning of January 2004. Out of the box, it didn't start up. The lamp / cover light kept blinking, no matter what I did. Sony support couldn't help me on the phone. I returned it.
I decided to give Sony another chance. Got a second one after 2 weeks.  This one had a strange problem so that if I flip the picture using the menu (needed for ceiling mounting), there would be light and dark vertical bands all across the screen. I sent it to Sony's Laredo, TX service center to get it fixed. It returned back from the service center with a change in the prizm assembly, but the original problem was not addressed at all.  I sent it back to the service center, and this time around, it was fixed.
I must admit though, it has worked beautifully since then. No start up problems at all. No bad pixels. No mis-alignment of panels.  Colors are amazingly real.
Out of the box, picture didn't look sharp enough and contrast definitely wasn't impressive. But after some tweaking, it is now at a level where I don't think the image is washed up. Brightness is ample - it tolerates some amount of ambient light without problems. Sony's included PJ multi cable works pretty well - I couldn't find any difference in Picture Quality using the included cable or much expensive component cables.
DVI picture using Bravo D1 is stunning. It's not HDTV but very very close. And of course, HDTV is the best. The scaler seems top notch but the deinterlacer is not stellar.  Most progressive scan DVD players will have a better deinterlacer.
Remote is the worst thing on this machine. It is lighted but you have to cycle through Inputs using a single button. Same for wide mode. And it's not like you can quickly cycle - there is a noticeable time lag when switching between inputs or wide modes.
Power Lens and Zoom are quite handy during setup.
Overall, I think I'm impressed for what I've got for under 3 grand - just make sure you get a working piece.

Ok. This is the second dress, same print. Nice print.  I like ACEVOG dresses, they have good prints and colors.  However, they really need to work on quality control.  The quality of the dresses I've received aren't consistent.  The thread tension is off, the hem is jagged (it's low in the front and back and short on the sides), and the zipper isn't  all that hidden.  The bodice and the skirt aren't sewn evenly. I'm so frustrated with ACEVOG!  Consistent quality please.  I am not sure if I'm keeping the dress, but I like the print. This dress was 3/4" longer than the first, however, it still has the same issues with the zipper and uneven seam.

I was hoping the old saying "you get what you pay for" wouldn't hold true for this 3D printer, but it may turn out to be the case for the XYZprinting Da Vinci 1.0 printer.

I received this printer yesterday. The packaging was good and unpacking went fairly smoothly. (Minor note: you are supposed to remove the x-y axis tape and support BEFORE you try to remove the cardboard from the extruder, contrary to what the printed instructions say.) Unfortunately my smooth experience came to a grinding halt (literally) when I plugged in and turned on the printer. The x axis seemed to find home correctly, but the y axis travelled all the way to the back of the printer and then tried to keep going, producing a very loud rattling, grinding sound. After a few seconds of this, the light on the printer started flashing and the LCD display gave me a "0031" error message which indicates (surprise surprise) an error on the Y axis.

I have emailed the company for support and have not heard back yet. So far, my biggest complaint is a noticeable lack of customer support. There is no FAQ section of the website, no phone number to call for support (that I can find) and so far, as noted, the email support has been non-existent. Hopefully this will change; I will update as the situation progresses.

After reading some other reviews before me, I guess that the Quality control at Canon (Malasia) is very bad. Most of our friends who rated 1 star seem to have similar QC complaints.
[For the cost], A70 clearly has best features than any other 3 MP DC in the market. Also, professional reviews have been the best for this camera.
I got mine after a long wait and I started learning the operation of the camera. I even took a few snaps of my Kitchen (photo had lot of shades, they were just experimental shots though).
Next day when I switched the camera on, nothing shows up in the LCD except for some default menus. This happened in both shoot as well as play modes. I spent about 4 hours reading the manual to get it right but had no luck.
I just returned it and order a new one. Lets hope this one works.

I would love it...if the quality control at the factory were not for s****. This was falling apart before I ever got it!

I hate to totally pan a product but there are some major QC problems with this product. I originally ordered two. Both were defective. I was able to swap parts to create one and return the rest. Once it was up its an adequate, status quo, generic version of this unit. So Against my better judgment I tried ordering another one this time in black. Halfway into assembly another major defect that prohibited the assembly. It's very frustrating when you have to assemble, disassemble, repack, and ship. Save yourself the trouble. I also have two of these type of units that I purchased at Home Depot. The house brand, HDX. Problem free.

My experience with the XXL 540TM is very similar to what reported by several other folks that bought it around the 2010 Black Friday period. After a first defective unit (could no longer power on within 10 hours of opening the box), I asked Amazon for replacement and the second unit was even more defective than the first one, since the internal disk started showing hardware errors during the first software upgrade. After following all the various troubleshooting suggestions from the TomTom website, I have returned the unit to Amazon for a refund. Both of my two TomTom package boxes were not in immaculate condition as coming out of the factory floor, showing clear signs of previous usage and a broken seal, instead (as reported from several other reviewers). The suspicion of -- badly -- refurbished units comes quickly to my mind ... Anyhow, I have decided to buy another GPS unit not from the pair of Amazon-TomTom, but from a different combination of retailer and GPS brand.

At the beginning of February I decided to buy two easy jackets, for myself and my wife.
1. VEDONEIRE Womens NAVY Quilted Jacket (5038) ladies blue coat padded S 2. VEDONEIRE Mens Quilted Jacket (3036) NAVY Button Front Jacket padded quilt coat XXL
We stopped the choice on jackets of the Irish Vedoneire clothing company. We visited a site of the company and read that the company has long history and makes exclusively qualitative clothes. It affected our decision to make a purchase. Jackets came very quickly. When we opened a package and started considering purchases, very quickly understood that us deceived... Jackets were sewed very much not accurately. Sleeves of a female jacket had different width. Their width differed on 1 inch. The cord which is sewn on edge of a jacket has fragmentary edge and is sewn very much not accurately. The size of both jackets doesn't correspond to the real American size. They are one size less than really declared size. Seams on both jackets very curve, everywhere stick out threads curve seams. The lining is sewn disgustingly. You can look at all these defects in enclosed photos. When we wanted to return low-quality goods, it appeared that it needs to be sent at own expense back to Ireland. We suggested firm most to pay sending rejected production, but they refused. They told that the rules Amazon don't allow them to arrive so though promised to return money spent for return of jackets to Ireland. We sent jackets having spent for it $52. To us returned money which we spent for purchases and for return of these purchases back to Ireland. Concerning this incident from Vedoneire's firm we didn't receive apologies and comments. I have doubts that to us would return money if it there was a direct purchase at this firm, instead of purchase through a platform Amazon. I think that the politician Amazon concerning the clients, helped us to return our money. We often make purchases on Amazon and always received good service and if we buy from the seller Amazon, but service simply excellent. We don't intend to risk any more. Think, such headache is necessary to you?

Hey everyone...I received my 1005HA in the mail yesterday, unpacked it, booted up, and the first thing I noticed was a fair amount of green pixelation at the bottom of the LCD. This same effect showed up when viewing images or video with a lot of dark colors.  Tried tweaking the settings and downloading the new drivers, but no luck.  I'm guessing it's a defective panel.  After contacting Amazon support, I will be returning this unit for a new one.

Other than the LCD issue, I was very pleased with the 1005HA.  All the things I used it for...surf, Hulu, podcasting...it does well, even without the ram upgrade.  3 stars for now, 5 if my replacement unit works without issues.

First, for the price, I didn't expect too much. But when I received it, one of the webbed internal pocket's stitching was flawed and not connected at the bottom of the pocket. It was not properly sewn into place which tells me the manufacturers QA/QC is NOT doing their job.
I've asked to have it replaced but haven't heard back from the seller.

This unit must have been a factory defect but the problem is obvious. Corrupted video out of DVI port at 1920x1200 and 1440x900. No video at all at 1600x1050. Swapped cables, no help. Swapped the Anker dock with my Targus and problem goes away. Swap Anker back in, corrupted video. Will have to return.

Oct 29 - Update
We received the replacement today. I uninstalled the Targus drivers and reinstalled the Anker drivers. Hooked everything back up. Now both 24" monitors are running at 1920x1200. Video is very clean and stable. So apparently we just got one of the latent factory defects the first time. Pleased that I gave Anker another try. The Targus I have claimed to support 1920x1200 but at that resolution the bottom part of the video is chopped off but the Anker seems to handle it just fine.

We bought three of these things, and paid a little bit more for the black version.  The build quality is highly variable.  The red one was perfectly acceptable (given the price).  The blue one was marginal, but the black one, which was actually priced slightly higher, was of such poor quality that it is absolutely unusable. Specifically, the framing that holds the iPod is cut wrong, so it doesn't fit.  Clearly there is very little quality control.

Normally I wouldn't bother posting a review for something like this, but the seller keeps spamming me to get me to write a review.
