Good quality, marginally relevant issue.

Well made doc but fell asleep watching.  Maybe I was just tired.

These are useful and acceptable quality but the metal connecting the main portion to the "piggy back" is too thin, making these prone to breaking or flexing when used with the large sized wires for which this connector is appropriate.

Other than that, these are fine. So use these with discretion and care to avoid stress or flexing.

You do get a large quantity with this packaging also, which may or may not suit your purpose.

I picked up this panel at an after-Christmas sale locally, jumping on the last one in stock.  I came straight to Amazon for product reviews on it, since I had not researched the model itself.

Like the other reviews, I have nothing bad to say about the panel, except a few small concerns.  First, the closed captioning display has great configuration options, but only for HD antenna sources--why couldn't the CC text be rendered in translucent boxes (which allow you to see through the black caption boxes) like on the others?  Why is CC disabled on component/HDMI?  This means that watching the last two seasons of the West Wing on DVD allows for no English subtitles (as they only included CC on the discs and not DVD subtitles).

Second, adding channels to the Favorites list is extremely tedious--you have to switch channels and work through the menus each time, for each channel.  Pressing the button cycles through them, but doesn't bring up a box to jump to one deeper into the list.  It's obvious they didn't think this feature through very well.

Third, the panel's native resolution, like most 42" plasmas, is 1024x768.  It is therefore not truly 720p, which is a little disappointing.  This is not to say that the electronics on board aren't excellent or that the picture quality suffers at all (on the contrary, this PDP looks superior to many LCDs, the cheapest of which is more expensive than this panel--and even some LCDs that are several hundred dollars more).  It's just something to keep in mind.

The positives are many.  The picture is bright, with many adjustment options and rich blacks--colors are vivid without being inaccurate.  There is a full array of aspect ratio options to cope with SD content.  There are 3 HDMI inputs, two component inputs, a VGA input, and two digital tuner inputs, which should be more than enough for anyone's needs.  Channel changes with the tuner exhibited none of the slowness and never once brought up the "searching for signal" box, so I imagine the review mentioning that had a weak signal to begin with.

HD sources on this TV look amazing.  Smooth, rich, deep pictures with no banding or halos.  SDTV can look a little washed out in comparison, but switching to "Dynamic" helps a lot.

Sound quality was decent and clear when I tested it, contrary to some earlier reviews here.  I have it connected to a surround system, as most customers probably will, so it does not compare in that regard, but I can find no fault with the internal speakers.  They're loud and a bit bright, but that's to be expected.

All in all, this is an excellent and affordable HDTV that looks great even when turned off and makes for a sound investment.

When this book came out it caused a bit of a stir.  However, as the editors note, a careful review of the material actual tends toward moderation.  Supporters can see a bit to criticize and the critics can see things aren't quite as black as they had supposed.  I found the transcripts to be fascinating because we get to read conversations that were the subject of much debate and speculation for the past several decades.

However, transcripts are subject to several issues.  First, they are all in English.  We do not know what the original Russian, Chinese, or what have you in order to see what the translation may have missed in nuance or simply gotten wrong.  Second, transcripts are only as good as the transcriber and some of the conversations were put together well after the fact, so the question stands, do we really have an exact transcription of the conversations.  Third, while the editor does his best to provide very good context for the transcript and compares what is said to other sources such as Kissinger's memoirs, we do not have all of the context that went into setting up the meeting and the private thoughts of the parties prior to and after the conversations transcribed.  So, what is said is still subject to misinterpretation by inferring incorrectly the intent of the various parties to these conversations.

These concerns aside, I find this a very valuable and useful reference to certain key events during both Nixon administrations.  The cover photo is a bit too cute.  A black and white photo of a somber Kissinger with, what, rose colored glasses (the Red of the communists coloring his world?  A too optimistic view of the communists?) with one lens displaying a faint hammer and cycle of the Soviets and the other the Chinese star.

Study and enjoy.

Pretty good overall. I have a number of these and they are fairly middle of the road compared to a couple other brands I have at home from local stores. They definitely should be durable enough but the plastic seems a little thinner and a little less flexible than some of the other magazine files I've used. Realistically though, if it's getting occasional use and sitting on a book shelf most of the time, there really isn't need for anything better than this.

The plastic is a glossy texture. I have mixed feelings on the sides. As others have mentioned, the openings allow you to see what's stored in there but there is the downfall of being able to catch the magazines and tear the pages when sliding it in. The size is pretty standard compared to other brands. Probably holds 10-15 average magazines depending on thickness. Even with slightly thicker journals, I can typically fit a year's worth into one file. With thin magazines it would hold considerably more than this.

Even including shipping, the price seemed comparable to what these cost at local stores.

Although this keyboard is nothing groundbreaking, I would say it is a decent option for anyone requiring a membrane keyboard of a decent quality, particularly for its price point.

This keyboard is of a full size (it has a full numeric keypad and even the inverted L-shaped enter key), and it is of a decent build quality, so I would say it is adequate for the purposes of general gaming and typing. It is possible to get a better keyboard, but I think it would be difficult at this price.

To this keyboard's merit, it has back lighting in three colors with the option to turn it off, it comes with a fine mesh-coated cable, the keys can be pulled off and put back on without apparent permanent damage, no keys have been omitted for the sake of compactness, and the keyboard comes with convenient working volume controls on its side. The only thing I might complain about is that the stylized palm rest is not the most comfortable (but it is not prohibitively uncomfortable either).

It should be noted that this keyboard comes in packaging with primarily Chinese text and has a few Chinese characters on the palm rest label (the keys themselves are the standard set of characters on a full-size QWERTY keyboard, so there are no functional issues). This may be problematic if you want a keyboard with particular visual properties, or if you are not skilled in determining how to operate products simply by looking at them and experimenting. I have not personally found this problematic, as, for me, an English box was not worth the premium owed to a Western design and marketing firm that could well be selling keyboards made by the same Chinese contract manufactures as this one, maybe even in the same factories.

Like some have mentioned before, I didn't like that the printing company name was in the bottom left corner of each poster. On a good note, the label is printed lightly, so at a quick glance it isn't noticeable.

Apart from that, the posters are great. The paper is a nice thick quality and the images are bright and clear. There are some inconsistencies in print (thicker font for shorter names, dots between first and last names on some posters, but not on others), but that's only a problem if you're really finicky.

Yeah, you could probably find more "official" posters, but for a One Piece poster collection that covers all the characters, in sizes not too overbearing, I'm very happy with this bundle. I haven't seen any One Piece group shot art that I like, so for me these posters were perfect. I thought the price was great considering the amount of posters, and they arrived quickly too.

Strong, good quality, nice color, the snap button doesn't feel like it's loose; well manufactured. Unfortunately the one problem is that it lacks a hole for sound near the speaker for your ear, but that's fine by me really.

I'm halfway through, and so far I don't really have any complaints. Some portions (like the accent marks) can be ignored and are really seem to only be in there for the academics.

I purchased this case for my wifes iPhone 5 and it looks, feels and fits great.  It feels like a quality product (at least as good as other TPU phone cases I've utilized in the past) and it already prevented marring due to a 4-5 foot drop of the encased phone onto a hardwood floor.  Whoops.  Luckily everything still works fine.  If it had fallen differently, the phone might have broken in some way; this is not a shock-absorbing supercase that offers tank-like protection a la Otterbox.  It is meant to add minimal bulkiness while mild-moderate protection against scuffs and minor drops.  It does that job well.

My main beef with this case is that it significantly compromises the outgoing call quality of the phone.  When my wife calls me, her voice is substantially muffled and less clear than when the case is not on the phone.  It is a night-and-day difference in clarity.  I am still able to understand her fine in areas with good reception, but quality is mediocre at best and it is especially difficult to understand her if there is ambient noise while driving or while she's working in the hospital.  Poor reception, as expected, exacerbates this problem further and at times renders her completely unintelligible.  Without the case and with good reception, she is crystal clear.

For myself and many others, call quality is still an extremely important phone feature, and Apple obviously agrees as there are three microphones on the iPhone 5 that together record sound while trying to cancel out ambient noise to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio and thus call quality.  If you don't make many calls, record videos, etc. and rely on other avenues to communicate (texting, Whatsapp, Facebook, etc.), then this may not be too important to you.  However, you could just get another case that offers 95% of the protection while maintaining a svelte profile for the same price without compromising on functionality by still taking advantage of the intrinsic technology engineered to improve call quality.  If this were not an issue, I'd give the case 4/5 stars.

As others have noted, the portion of the case protecting the bottom of the phone can also obscure headphone attachment (depending on the headphones).  We have standard headphones and haven't had trouble with this personally, but it is something to consider if you're using headphones with an unusually shaped connection.

We will be returning the case in favor of an even more minimalist case that should provide nearly the same level of protection but that leaves the bottom and top parts of the phone uncovered (except for a small lip around the phone's edges so that the phone is still protected while resting on surfaces): http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00993E8B6/ref=pe_175190_21431760_M3T1_ST1_dp_1

Good quality but could be a little heavier.

This FPR is decent.
With that said, I have a couple of minor issues with this item I will cover. First, compared with the OEM part side by side, this one is lighter, and the nipple bell end is a few mils thinner. The rubber gasket is also fractionally smaller. Because of these 2 minor differences it doesnt have a snug fit like most FPR's Ive dealt with. I have never had one that moves so freely on the rail connection. It is properly seated, and the T30 screw tightened to the proper specs. With the thinner bell & gasket it results in the FPR having some movement. This shouldnt be an issue since it only rotates/spins, and it currently doesnt leak. As long as it doesnt wiggle side to side it should maintain its seal (the bracket prevents the wiggle). It functions as expected, however I now have my Check Engine light (CEL/SES/SEL/CES/CE/EMS) illuminating and will read the codes to see if its running lean or rich. I suspect the FPR I received may be defective. Based on my experience with FPR's, about 1 in 5 are. Be ready to replace it again if it should be the issue.
Second, the nipple for the MAP sensor boot doesnt have a bevel. This isn't a bad thing, but the bevel would reduce the possibility of the boot slipping off.
Other than that, I will have to read the codes to validate whether this item is defective. Look for an update in the next day or so.

This is a good quality wrench wrap, and I'm not concerned about it's longevity.  The material and stitching seems to be pretty good, and the pockets offer a decent variety of sizes making it reasonable to cram a bunch of tools into it.  The only reason to knock a star off is that the tie straps are pretty lame, and once they break, and I'm certain they will, I'll have to sew Velcro straps on instead.

Overall pleased with the quality; there were no chips or scratches and only negligible blemishes (a few small sections of one of the chair legs had thin staining), but it's not noticeable unless you're really looking for it. However, some of the chairs are a little wobbly when unoccupied. I was expecting a little more uniformity in the parts.

Assembly was straightforward, and my only complaint is that some of the bolts would not go in all the way (yes, I used all the correct sizes). I'm guessing it's due to the slight variation in straightness / size of the parts; I did try to wrestle it around a bit, but ultimately there were some bolts that just would not go in all the way. Minor annoyance.

The chairs are comfortable and the set in general is beautiful. I would attach a photo but it truly looks just as nice as the advertised photo, so there's no point.

NOTE: The height of this table is listed as 38", but I measure about 30.5". Beware if this is an important factor for you.
