The G5 Imac is very nice.......2007-07-07

I was very lucky getting my G5 Imac so cheap. Having cash in hand is so important. This is so versitle and very fast. The Super drive is dual layer
and the display is so clean. Make sure you get the 2 gigs for the memory. This unit needs all it can get.

The problem is that the disk has a hard time being
ejected. My understanding was that this iMac was
refurbish and was not aware that I was going have it
repaired right away. I just spent Grand Total of
$1,114.98. I will buy the applecare coverage for this
Mac. Too the repair shop for a week or two not having
my Mac. This does not make me happy.
I bought two year service plan from you and I still have not seem it. What is going on?

Tremendous capability for the price........2006-06-10

Yes if you can get this version of the iMac for a price like they are offering these days you will get a lot for your money.
I owned this computer and paid twice as much and was completely happy with my experience.
The number of included applications will blow you away if you are coming from the PC environment. There is no comparison to PC especially when you can activate Excel and Quickbooks with 2 clicks on this computer.
You also get Safari and Explorer and the ability to burn your digital files to DVD or easily archive them. That brings up another incredible feature of this Mac, the 250 gig hard drive. Don't go with less even if you are going to use an external drive. Not with the pace of today's new application offerings and security and other updates.
For almost anyone this computer will be an upgrade! Another thing is that the newer Intel Macs still are not running Photoshop or Elements natively so if photography is one of your hobbies this is an excellent choice.
Upgrade the memory to 1 gig is highly recomended. It is an easy do it yourself install too. Take you less than 5 minutes and 1 screwdriver. Most of that 5 will be spent loosening and tightening screws since the memory just pops in place. If you do just look on the installed manual and it covers this and everything else you need.
Yes this is last years Mac but still a highly contemporary tool in all respects.
Good luck!

iMAC Power.......2006-05-04

WOW - what can I say - I own 3 MACs now - this beauty is a work of art and technology. 20" stunning display, silent, powerful, DVD Superdrive, compact and wireless - all you need is the power cord plugged in and THATS IT - I am so glad I got mine before the INTEL CHIPSET - a true APPLE this is!! - Get one at these prices it's a FANTASTIC DEAL!!!

Don't buy until they fix iChat.......2006-04-12

The computer is a great idea (well designed all in one, etc), but iChat software is defective as you receive it (and Apple has not yet responding to large #s of user complaints and fixed it). Apple's claims that it is quick and easy to videoconference with your friends/family, etc with these iMacs and iChat are extremely misleading. They should say they are easy to videoconference after you spend dozens of hours network troubleshooting and then buying new routers at each end.

Go to Apple's customer support pages and read how users, many of them experienced users, some even computer professionals, have difficulty connecting iChat. They expect you to become a router expert, doing port forwarding, port triggering, etc in order to try and get this to work. Users talk of reinstalling their OSes, changing around their networks, etc, and not getting iChat to work on these machines to videoconference. I finally got mine to work by replacing routers at both ends, to a router that was "iChat friendly". Do not buy this product to videoconference until Apple fixes iChats deficiencies.

Sadly, the iChat fiasco is hurting Apple's otherwise excellent reputation, which is unfair to the rest of Apple outside of the iChat programmers.

Otherwise the computer works well on word processing, surfing net, etc. If you have no interest in videoconferencing, they you might like this computer. Since I specifically bought 2 of these for videoconferencing, I give them a 1 star.

Not for Macs.......2007-09-01

I read a review for IRISPEN EXPRESS in the NY Times in Aug 07 that was the best of the 3 pens that would read the print on paper and then put it on your computer. I sent for it but I could not use it since it waorked only with Windows and not with a Mac. I wanted to return it but I could not get the return merchandise number from their shipper though I asked for it twice.

Consequently I can not tell you anything about the product but I would warn customers of Amazon that the shipper of this product will not accept returns, I have told Amazon of this difficulty but have not received a response. This is the first time Amazon has failed me

An Average Monitor, An Upset Experience.......2005-05-12

Well, I try not to be emotional; otherwise, based on my experience, I may give only one star. I recently bought two 19" flat panels: one Samsung and one LG (this model). I bought LG because there was a $120 rebate as advertised, but eventually, the rebate center told me that there was only $60. Comparing the two flat panels side by side, I find the LG one is very blurry. Eventually I managed to get the settings right and the LG panel can show some quality close to Samsung. But if you ask me how, I cannot tell. I don't know what button I clicked; it is still a mystery to me today. About 45 days later, when I do some Photoshop work, I find that the LG panel is quite dimmer. I decided to adjust the brightness, contrast, and gamma, and I end up with a completely unusable monitor. The "decrease" button does not work at all. I end up with all maximum values in brightness, contrast and gamma. I contacted the manufacturer, and they asked me for the serial number in order to be eligible for exchange. The support does not know where the serial number is. I even called to the rebate center with the doubt that I might mistakenly cut off the serial number and mailed to the rebate center. After a few days of search, eventually I located the serial number. Guess what? The panel has a back cover that covers everything on the backside. You have to remove the back cover to reveal the serial number.

Flatron L1930B.......2005-01-18

I am so happy with this monitor.
I was thinking about NEC, Samsung monitor.
But I selected LG L1930B after comparing LG and Samsung at store.
LG 1930B is very good for eyes. This monitor has TCO'03.
In my opinion LG 1930B is the best 19" monitor for office and home.
(I didn't try to play games.) Thanks LG so much!!!

Amazon.com Product Description

Slim, stylish, and packed with features, the Norcent PT-320 32-inch plasma TV is a great home entertainment centerpiece. Not only does it include such modern essentials as picture-in-picture and progressive scan, but the TV also broadcasts signals in high-definition 1080i format when connected to an HDTV receiver. The TV's video quality (852 x 1,024) stems from several sources, not the least of which is the 3:2 reverse pulldown, which automatically detects and converts film content for a better overall picture, and Norcent's color rendering technology, which provides realistic, lifelike colors. The progressive scan feature is also a boon, as it offers twice the scan resolution of its video signals to deliver clear, crisp images from a variety of sources.

As with all flat-panel monitors, the PT-320 takes up far less space than a traditional tube TV, with a depth of only 3.9 inches. Other features include a 16:9 enhanced aspect ratio that supports widescreen anamorphic DVDs, a 850:1 contrast ratio, a two-tuner picture-in-picture that lets users watch two programs at once, a sleep timer, and color temperature correction. The TV connects to other devices through the component video, S-video, and composite inputs, along with audio outputs for connection to an external audio source.

Set was out of box failure. Norcent US Support is terrible. They did not address my concern in a timely manner. In short, they tied up my money for 15 days, and strung me along wasting my time. - Do yourself a favor and shop a major brand with established support!
