Great value for the money paid.......2007-01-03

I think this is a very nice switch box, when configuring computers this is a must.

Works ok after some fiddling.......2006-12-19

Initial installation worked fine, both mouse and display were switched w/o any problem, but my Compaq Desktop keyboard was not recognized by my laptop after switching. Upgrading the laptop BIOS and installing correct keyboard drivers fixed this issue.

It's strange that the product documentation does not contain information about hot key support: pressing Scroll Lock 4 times in a row will switch - an important undocumented feature. Thanks to "JustMe" for pointing this out!

The other thing I don't like is the Audio support cables: If I plugin the USB cable into the back of my laptop docking station, the audio cables are not long enough to reach the front, where audio ports are located. Fortunately, audio support is only a minor requirement for me.

Switching time for me is about 3 seconds, which is kind of what I expected to get.

Overall, 3 stars ...

Works Fine For Me..........2006-12-11

I have mine hooked up using only one of the usb ports for my Microsoft Wireless Desktop (Wireless Comfort Keboard 1.0A & Wireless Optical Mouse 2.0).

I use it to switch from my Dell Dimension Desktop to my HP TC1100 Tablet in a Docking Station that I use spanning both monitors.

Audio & Monitor switching works fine using the hardware switch or the software switch. USB 1.0 fine for keyboard & mouse.

Does everything I expected, using my wireless keyboard & mouse!

Typical Belkin Junk.......2006-08-07

I wasted a couple hours of life on this JUNK.

Decides for itself when you want to change inputs.

If you push the button, 50% of time it fails to correctly hold new signal after user button press, swapping you back to other machine. The other half of the time it never finds the new signal and swaps you back to the first machine.

Junk - Continuously auto-switches........2006-07-28

This is an absolute P.O.S.
As someopne else said, it auto-switches everytime you reboot a machine, and apparently any other time the O/S or BIOS decides to re-initialise the USB ports. What it does is switch back over to the other input when you reboot the machine you're working on.

Even worse than that... it won't stay selected on a machine if that machine hasn't initialised its USB ports properly, e.g.:

I am working on a dead machine here which hasn't managed to get its USB drivers up and running properly yet (it's midway through the XP repair/setup), so I'm only running video through the KVM and have a ps/2 keyboard attached to the machine. This would be fine if it wasn't for the fact that after about 5 seconds this junk KVM decides to switch back to my main machine. I do have the KVM's USB cable (for mouse/keyboard) plugged into the machine as well, but until XP setup installs the USB drivers and 'connects', this thing will continue to keep switching away from the machine I'm working on.

I had much better luck just using an extra keyboard/mouse and the input-selector on my Monitor.

100% JUNK.

If you aren't rebooting computers regularly, and you can put up with the above, then there is the other problem of the delay. As another writer said, there is a delay of around 5 seconds when you switch. This is because the device basically performs a USB connect / disconnect. This means you also get the "dum daa" USB noise (the sound that Windows XP makes whenever you plug-in a USB device). The only thing is, you get it twice. Once for the 'virtual' mouse and once for the 'virtual' keyboard.

Pressing the select button on the top isn't exactly responsive either. Sometimes you have to press a few times, or give up and wait 10 seconds and try again. Or unplug the damn thing from all USB ports and try again. Or just unplug it and throw it away.

I suppose it has to be 1 star. There's no option for zero-stars.

Amazon.com Product Description

Enjoy the benefits of an LCD monitor--slim profile, light weight, no flicker, low emissions, and cool styling--without the high price. This Kogi 14.1-inch TFT desktop model is an ideal and inexpensive alternative to 15-inch and larger units, providing you with big savings while preserving enough screen real estate for your most common tasks.

The viewing angles are relatively narrow, and the 50 ms response time makes the monitor better suited for Web surfing than playing fast-moving video games or watching DVDs. Still, the L4AX offers 1,024 x 768 XGA resolution and supports over 16 million colors, so you'll see fine-looking images in everyday applications.

The handsome chassis accents any PC, resulting in a stylish desktop. The small footprint and lightweight design conserve space and permit easy positioning. In fact, at less than 5 pounds, it's one of the lightest LCDs you'll find. Complete with everything you need for quick and easy setup, including plug-and-play support, the L4AX is also backed by a full one-year warranty on parts and labor.

Don't do it.......2007-07-07

This is a bad product. It will not last. Those that have it working for longer than 10 months are more the exception rather than the rule. You get what you pay for!

After 3+ years still clear and bright ..........2006-11-18

Bought this monitor through a sales flyer sent by Amazon 3 years ago when my previous monitor died after only 10 mos. Had never heard of KOGI and didn't expect much for under $150 but wanted something quickly that didn't take up much space. From the first day, was amazed at how clear and bright the screen was. Don't usually buy 'off-brands' but didn't have time to do research and the price was too good to pass up. Best recommendation I could give: "I would buy it again in a heartbeat".

does not last.......2006-03-06

We have owned this monitor just over two years and we already need to replace it. Not only is it fuzzy but as you try to read words from your screen it moves so much that it gives you almost immediate eye strain. I was actually never happy with the clarity of the screen but at least it wasn't doing "the wave" before. I would say, spend your money on another brand. That is the chance we took with buying an off brand and it did not pay off!

Great LCD Display!.......2005-12-10

I wouldn't listen much to reviewers that trash this product simply because they didn't get their rebate check. I have been very happy with mine.

While not a top of the line monitor, it does produce a good and sharp picture. It is constructed well, has a small "footprint" that takes up minimal space on your desk. It is also very light weight since the power supply is corded so it sits on the floor.

You get 14" of viewable space and at 1024x768 resolution the text is razor sharp. The contrast ratio is 200:1, and the color is pretty good. This is not for gaming but, if you want a nice LCD that is light weight and takes up a small amount of desktop space, this is for you.

The Kogi L4AX is a piece of JUNK!.......2005-10-01

We bought four (4) with a mfg date of April 2003 and a purchase date of July 2003.

Three (3) are dead and one is going (as of Sept 2005) --- all from the same cause! The backlight fluorescent lamps fail. If you buy theis monitor get an extended warranty for sure or don't buy them. I can be contacted for verification at Micro Perfect Corporation.

Good Luck,
Greg

How many pictures will it store?.......2004-11-06

How many pictures will it store? It is the most commonly asked question from digital camera enthusiast but usually the question that is the most difficult to get a straight answer about. Well, considering I worked in the memory industry for over 7 years I can help clarify this perplexing question and do so unbiased as I have since changed industries.

The Memorex 128MB Secure Digital Card, like most 128MB cards, will store on average 142 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 106 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera, 64 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 51 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 40 pictures when used with a 6 megapixel camera. These numbers are based off the assumption that you are going to shoot your images at the highest quality JPEG setting available for the camera and understand that they are estimates and may be off by as much as 10 percent due to numerous factors including the complexity of the scene being shot and the compression algorithm used by your specific camera.

I truly hope this review was helpful to you in determining whether this card is the right capacity for your specific needs.

Good Entry-level Home Theater w/ DVD.......2005-03-02

Overall, this is a very good system for someone with a budget. I've had mine for almost 4 years.

1. The Receiver:
Pros: It has all the connectors you can think of.
Cons: It's huge, it doesn't auto-select between Digital and Analog audio in. It is hard to find a universal remote that will handle JBL.

2. DVD:
Pros: MP3 player, 5 CD/DVDs.
Cons: It's huge, truncates the names of the songs, firmware sucks. Had to take it to the shop because it didn't accept CD/DVDs at some point.

3. Speakers:
Pros: Good sound for the price, it includes the bases.
Cons: Bases are not quite well designed or manufactured, may break.

4. Remote:
Pros: Universal.
Cons: Very poor design.

Nothing but trouble.......2004-10-14

When it works, this system is great. It just doesn't work very often. I purchased mine in December 2002, and began to have trouble by May 2003. Since then it has been in the shop five times. The dvd player crashes often, won't open, hurls discs off the tray scratching them severely...the receiver is even worse. Twice in the last 18 months, the sound goes out completely. Absolutely no signal to the speakers. The service centers are a rip-off, one guy charged me seventy bucks to just look at the thing, then told me it would cost three hundred to fix it. yeah, right...I looked for one on ebay, and trust me, do NOT buy this thing used, or you will wind up with one that doesn't play sound. These manufacturers need to get the message that assembling this junk in third world countries and trying to sell it here as high quality stuff is a crime.

Simply ROCKS !!!!.......2004-04-23

I recently purchased a JBL Cinema Pro Pack 600II Home Theatre System and I am very happy with it. It was easy to set up with very good instructions.

The JBL DCR600II-Z 6 x 100-watt receiver powers all of the speakers, including the subwoofer. It offers Dolby Digital, DTS decoding, and our own advanced digital processing algorithm, Logic 7, for enhancing standard surround modes and for creating natural multichannel sound from two-channel music or movie sources. The powerful JBL 2-way satellites and center channel are a perfect complement to the receiver and 8" subwoofer. You won't believe the performance and features you get for the price, there just isn't a better home theater value.

Additional key features:
* Full-function pre programmable remote control
* 6-Channel direct inputs
* 4 Composite video inputs
* 4 S-video inputs
* 1 Optical and 2 coax digital inputs
* 1 Digital coax output

JBL speaker system key features:
* Overall frequency response: 35Hz - 20kHz (-6dB)
* Configuration: 2-Way satellite speakers, video-shielded
* Impedance: 8 Ohms nominal
* Tweeter: One 1/2" titanium-laminate cone
* Midrange driver: One 3" cone
* Subwoofer: 8" woofer in a floor-firing, bass-reflex ported enclosure

So, if you get a better deal, go for this Cinema ProPack 600II without any hesitation!

Good System.......2004-02-19

I have not had the problems that others have had. This system is discontinued, but nonetheless, its a pretty good buy for about $500 or so. The speakers are very good, and the sub is okay, but a little underpowered. I like the DVD player and the reciever is very good for new comers to the Home Theatre world.

Cinema ProPack 600II has worked well for over 1 1/2 years.......2004-01-09

We've had this system setup for over 1 1/2 years with no problems at all. It has a good sound that more than fills a 400 s.f. area (tile floors help). The remote is the only minor complaint, as many others have already mentioned. We're about to add a pair of outdoor speakers to the system and aren't sure yet how to do that (the receiver's speaker outputs are limited to the 5 speakers that come with it) but I'm sure there's a way. We feel we got a good bargain on this system and are very pleased with it.
