Recommend SMC. .......2006-11-21

sometimes we have to ask ourselves -- is the consumer equipment we buy designed to be run 24/7 weeks on end? My SMC router worked quite well for about 2 yrs. It was mostly used in wired setting and as a consumer unit it worked fine.

After it failed, tech support was patient to troubleshoot the problem. After numerous resetting and troubleshooting -- my unit was replaced.

The lifetime warranty is amazing, generous and should be one of the reasons people should seriously consider SMC. Currently the warranty has been changed for the 'life of the unit' but still it's amazing that there are companies out there such as SMC that stand behind their products like that. When possible, I try to buy SMC.

On practice side -- online setup menu very well designed, ergonomics of the unit, wireless range and power of the signal -- all great. Network Printer port, unlike what I've seen in competing router models -- my SMC built in printer worked like a charm on every PC, even one running Win 98.

SMC doesn't produce millions of models as competition -- but those it does - are quite good and solid.

While my folks have gone through 3 or 4 routers; this one SMC barricade has served me since 2001 with no complaints.

It is now starting to stop working every so often, so I have to reboot (pull the plug and plug it back in) so I am ready to upgrade.

Signal strength has been great - I can get signal from the far corner of my basement without a problem, anywhere inside the house, and outside as well.

SMC's "Lifetime Warrenty" is good for the "Lifetime of the Product", which means that when your product stops working after 1 year (like mine did) they won't fix it. And that's only after you try for days and days to get through to tech support. If you call and they're "busy" you don't even wait on hold, they say "call us back later". And of course, when you call back later, they're still busy. I went through this cycle for days and days until I finally got through and was told my warrenty was worthless.

Buy this product at your own peril.

Good but not great.......2004-03-12

Had this for more than a year with 4 wireless clients (2 SMCs, 1 Netgear, and 1 Dell TrueMobile). Easy set up (Web interface is decent), great value for the low price I paid (after rebate). I don't use the print server so I can't comment.

The only gripe I had is this thing does require occassional resets. I have it connected to a DSL router and this Ethernet interface occasionally get disconnected and the only way to bring it back is to reset the Barricade. The wireless interface stays up, however, so I can reset it via the Web interface and don't have to walk to the Barricade.

Great LCD for the price.......2007-04-08

I have been researching LCD`s on AMAZON for weeks and chose the Audiovox.You can`t beat the price, for a edtv as well as hdtv ready.The unit is attractive and ultra slim. It has all the possible hook-ups you need...except a PC monitor(which I was`nt looking for anyway).The picture quality is very good as well as the sound,Stereo & SRS.The Wall-Mount which is included is top of the line and very easy to install with all mounting hardware included.The provided remote is simple to use and the on-screen menu is a dream. The only negitive is the sound delay when changing channels.(16 mila-seconds)No big deal.All&All great little TV.

Worked great for 6 years.......2007-09-13

This is the 2nd time I have bought this product, as the first I had purchased finally went out after almost 6 years of non-stop running. For only 10-15 bucks, it was still quite a deal and lasted a good long time in a slightly dusty environment(even with ill-regular/monthly cleanings).

Works just fine.......2007-07-25

Pulls a lot of air out of the tower, but gets quite noisy if you don't clean it.

Keep it cool!.......2007-07-05

This fan is a rock-solid performer and although you might hear some fan bearing noise from a cold boot, it goes away very quickly. I added this fan to my system because when I upgraded the video card from the stock AGP nVidia FX5200 to an AGP nVidia 7600GS I watched my PC's internal temperature jump up about 10 degrees farenheight in just general use (games make it run even hotter). I mounted it in the slot right beneath the video card and putting my hand by the exhaust I can almost always feel warm (sometimes hot) air blowing out. Easy to install and it takes one 4-pin (Molex) power connector. A must-have in my book if your rig runs hot and MUCH cheaper than those water-cooled systems!

Go fan, go!.......2007-05-16

This fan makes a world of difference - the crappy fan Dell provided me left the computer hot inside for long periods of time, making Beryl effects (Linux stuff) and my games run slower, or become darker for no reason, etc. etc...

At one point it almost made the Hard Drive malfunction. Too much heat, and I was saving a couple of gigs of info.

Well, found this little guy and I have to say I'm more than impressed. From the start of booting to the end of the shut-down script, this little guy just keeps blowing. Decided to put it under my video card - makes a world of difference now! Better performance, fan is blowing at a good rate (along with craptastic Dell fan, which doesn't blow much anyway)... I definatley suggest getting this if you have an extra expansion bay (I had to take out my 56K modem... Oh well)!

Product Description

The Toshiba 24AF42 24-inch color television blends state-of-the-art design and high-performance features in one unit. The 24" FST PURE flat tube eliminates unwanted reflections from room light compared to conventional tubes designs and increases viewing angle. The Invar Shadow Mask enhances color reproduction thanks to its nickel-alloy construction, which is more heat resistant than conventional iron masks. A 3-line digital comb filter with vertical contour correction provides more accurate processing of RF and composite video signals for a sharper, cleaner picture. Advanced Velocity Scan Modulation improves contrast and overall picture sharpness. StableSound maintains television volume within a preset range regardless of the source signal. A tri-lingual OSD allows for easy operation for English, Spanish, and French speaking viewers. The GameTimer feature makes parental control of viewing time easy. A Colorstream component video input provides the ultimate picture quality from interlaced component video signals. A front panel A/V input provides easy connection of video games or a camcorder. An earphone jack allows for individual listening privacy.

Amazon.com Product Description

Enjoy vivid, high-contrast pictures from Toshiba's 24-inch FST PURE flat picture tube. Affordable, stylish, and loaded with features, the 24AF42 makes a great upgrade to a DVD or satellite-based home theater. The set's FST PURE flat tube eliminates intrusive reflections from ambient light relative to conventional CRT designs and broadens the angles from which the screen may be viewed.

The 24AF42's three-line digital comb filter and vertical contour correction further enhance resolution by removing blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl (tiny, moving dots of color along a sharp color separation in a vertical line, as in a depiction of a character's striped T-shirt). Meanwhile, velocity-scan modulation improves the definition at picture edges, creating sharper images by slowing the CRT (cathode-ray tube) beam's horizontal scanning during demanding work--say, when rendering transitions from light to dark parts of an image--and speeding it up when scanning easily rendered sections, like broad dark areas.

The set provide stereo reception (with five watts per channel) and SAP (second audio program), which is often used to broadcast an alternate-language track. The 24AF42 derives a heightened sense of stereo separation from its double-baffle speaker system, and BBE High-Definition Sound improves speech intelligibility and restores the dynamic range of compressed musical passages.

A ColorStream component-video input provides the ultimate picture quality from interlaced component-video signals; standard composite-video inputs accommodate all DVD players and most other video sources. You get two sets of rear AV inputs (one of which has S-video) as well as one set of front AV inputs for easy connection with a camcorder or gaming console. A rear AV output lets you hook the set up with a surround receiver. The 24AF42 also features V-Chip parental controls, a sleep timer, and a glow-in-the-dark universal remote control.

Great TV!.......2003-07-13

I've had it for about 6 months now. Still love it. I only wish I had better cable service to put it to the test. DVDs look great. Definitely recommended for those not needing a huge tv.

Very Very Pleased.......2003-05-11

I just bought this model this afternoon, to replace my 19 year old 19" Hitachi. After attaching my rabbit ears, that's right no cable or satelite connection, and adjusting the contrast, I have an absolutely beautiful picture, clear, sharp and incredibly detailed. I just finished watching The Green Mile on broadcast TV and frankly it looked just as good as it did the first time I saw it on DVD at my boyfriends, on his 36" Sony Wega TV. I have turned down the sound to the lowest possible level and found no annoying hum at all. I can hardly wait to see what kind of a picture I see when I bring home DVD player in a couple of weeks.
I think this was a great buy, and I couldn't be happier with this purchase.

Great Flat Screen - without Wega Pricetag.......2003-03-31

I own this set as well as the 27" Toshiba FS. All of the critiques by low raters here are very debatable.

I have owned my 27" for over a year and it looks great with my digital cable and toshiba DVD set-up. I don't have surround sound, and with the simulated surround on the 27", I don't need it.

After giving my 27" Zenith away, I went and scooped up the 24" Toshiba FS for the bedroom. Unbelievably, the 24" picture looks better than the 27". I have s-video running from my converters on both sets and the picture is beyond awesome. I notice no distortion or bending, the sound pumps, and neither of my sets hum (as reported below).

Sure the remote ..., and ever viewer will have to set the contrast to their liking, but damn - these are great sets. If you want a good FS at a decent price ($... out the door at Be...) go get this. Wega's are a waste of at least $...bucks. Buy some DVD's with that cash.

Buzzzzz Hummmmm.......2003-03-19

This TV has some great reviews, and is a consumer report best buy, but it hums. When you turn it on, there is a noticable hum from the back of the unit. It is annoying at low volume levels. Hummmmmmmmmm.

Other than that it looks great. Back to the store for this one.

regulation problems.......2003-01-21

I bought one of these at bestbuy.com. The colors were nice and the image was nice and sharp. The big problem was regulation. When an image had large bright areas, vertical lines would become curved. One doesn't notice this all that much when watching a movie or a TV program, but it's really clear on things like still photos shown by my DVD player. And even when watching a TV program, one can still notice it when one looks at images with lots of bright areas and clear vertical lines, like doorways.

I first noticed the problem when looking at JPEG stills in my DVD player. The DVD player (Cyber Home CH-500) puts a frame around the pictures, and the frame was distorted.

Adjusting the geometry via the service menu doesn't help much, since the problem is that bright areas in the picture shift the geometry anyway. Reducing brightness and contrast does help, but some of the problem remains.

I tested this with a laptop emitting some still images I drew. You can see the results of the test at home.att.net/~apruss/24af42.html. I also tried another 24AF42 at Best Buy on display, and it had the same problems. (I must confess that I forgot to try to adjust contrast and brightness on the display unit, so maybe it would have helped more on that unit.)

I suggest you either go for the 27-inch version (27AF42) which in my store testing did not exhibit the problem (there was some distortion, but it was within much more acceptable limits, I think) or check the unit carefully before buying. But maybe I was just unlucky with the two I tested.
