Amazon.com Product Description

Measuring a mere 8.5 inches square by 3 inches high, the Cyber Home Prism's compact design makes it ideal for anyone seeking the quality and convenience of DVD technology for the living room, game room, bedroom, kids' room, kitchen, office, or college dormitory--anywhere where space is limited. The player is compatible with DVD-Video, VCD, CD, CD-R, CD-RW, and MP3 CD. It plays both NTSC- and PAL-formatted discs, convenient for viewing non-region-encoded U.K. DVDs. Parental password protection locks the player when viewing would otherwise be unsupervised.

Composite- and S-video outputs grant compatibility with most televisions. A single set of left/right analog-audio outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions, and both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio outputs (one each of RCA coaxial and Toslink optical) for direct connection to a full-featured audio-video receiver.

Supplied accessories include a power cable and DC adapter, a composite-video/stereo audio interconnect, an instruction manual, and a universal remote control with batteries. Units sold in the USA play discs encoded for Region 1 only. The Prism is not a "region-free" player, and the region code is not user-changeable.

Hi

sneaky.......2004-03-15

you may think this is the whole package but look carefully there's no screen! i was almost fooled by this until one of my friends set the record straight. you have to have your own screen thats why its so cheap there are way better ones out there the only reason i put one star is because they dont allow zero stars this is the worst product eva believe me i know!

I got this as a gift for Xmas. At first, when playing a DVD, it would just stop in the middle of the DVD and you would have to reload the DVD and fast forward to the part. After two months, it will not play DVD's at all -- the screen just says "DVD Open" even when it is closed, and impossible to get it to work. When you try to call the warranty number shipped with the DVD for Argus Electronics, the number is out of order. When you try to return the gift on Amazon's Return Center, there is apparently a bug on the site (have been trying to return it for over a week) and the return options for a gift do not appear. All in all, this has been a nightmare!

Bought this player for my girlfriend over a year ago and never had any problems of any kind. I have had no issues with commercial DVDs or burned VCDs, and the player plays my Memorex DVD-Rs burned on a Panasonic LF-D521 at 2x with B's Recorder Gold flawlessly. This has been the most consistant player I or my family have owned including name brand players that cost twice as much

Owned it for a year.......2003-12-27

I've had this model for a year now. No major problems. We watch 5-10 dvd's per month. Works great for the price.

Product Description

HDTV technology delivers exceptional picture quality and a real movie-viewing experience that makes television more dynamic, truer and compelling than anything you've ever seen before. Philips' goal has been to create modern classics that promise enjoyment and intuitive functionality before they're even turned on.Whether watching cable or a DVD movie, the optimum way to view movies through a home entertainment system is the way the director saw them. Which is wide. After all, why would you want to watch a film in a format that cuts large chunks of detail out? Pan-and-scan is a thing of the past with Philips Widescreen. Because now cinema is presented, in a 16: 9 aspect ratio, to conform with the natural horizontal human field of vision. Widescreen viewing provides consumers with a home cinema viewing experience that comes as close as possible to the director's vision without compromising the original content of the film.Philips is setting new standards for the convergence of technology and design. You'll notice that sleek, sophisticated exteriors can actually seduce customers. This is because Philips' award-winning industrial design lifts the PTV to new heights of elegance. Its silver finish and refined design whisper urban origins. Yet it fits smoothly into interior d?cor like nothing else on the market, and is light-years away from the awkward "black box" syndrome.

Amazon.com Product Description

Get the most from the digital age with Philips' 30-inch 30PW862H Real Flat, high-definition widescreen TV. The set's picture tube affords the best home cinema viewing when used with a progressive-scan DVD player or an outboard digital set-top box for DTV reception. Onboard two-tuner, double-window PIP gives you complete flexibility when keeping tabs on two programs simultaneously, right down to the handy freeze feature, which holds an image in the PIP frame and lets you keep watching your program in the main window.

Picture enhancements include a sophisticated 3D Y/C digital comb filter, which improves quality of incoming interlaced video signals 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).

Eye Fidelity gives you the choice between different line doubling and scanning techniques--progressive or interlaced--so you can reduce motion artifacts like jagged edges and stair stepping, viewing material in progressive scan (480p) or a line-doubled (1050i) picture.

Scan-velocity 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. Further, a feature called Active Control continuously analyzes incoming signals and optimizes picture color, sharpness, contrast, and digital noise reduction 60 times per second.

The set offers stereo reception with 10 watts power per stereo speaker, and onboard Virtual Dolby Surround processing simulates surround sound from any two speakers.

Two sets of high-definition component-video inputs (1080i/480p) accommodate a set-top box/HD satellite receiver and a progressive-scan DVD player, while a direct-digital DVI input obviates unnecessary image conversions between digital and analog on the way from your set-top box to your TV.

Side and rear composite- and S-video inputs accommodate other hardware such as a camcorder or gaming device. Rear-panel audio/video outputs make it a cinch to hook the set up with your home theater surround receiver for a truly enveloping A/V experience. A .125-inch headphone jack lets you listen in private, and the set also includes a universal remote control.

What's in the Box
TV, a universal remote control, remote batteries, operating instructions, and warranty information.

Product Description

As storage capacity needs multiply every year businesses struggle to keep up with these demands. Contributing factors to the growth in storage include applications becoming more complex, increasing file sizes, and regulations becoming more numerous regarding the storage of business information. In addition to this, companies need to operate 24x7 to not be left behind. To keep up with these demands, they look to service providers to guide them in their decision making when creating a data protection strategy. Key components of this strategy should be reliability, lower total cost of ownership, investment protection, and ease of use. The new NSR N1200 offers all of these benefits. The new Storageworks Network Storage Router N1200 is a key component in a complete data protection solution. It is a 1U rackmount router with one Fiber Channel port and two SCSI ports. It allows customers to connect SCSI based tape libraries to the SAN increasing backup speeds up to 90%. The N1200 offers enterprise class features at a price point appealing to the low to mid range customer. It is targeted towards customers that want to reduce or remove their backup window. It offers support for serverless backup, 2Gb Fiber Channel and has web based management allowing for remote management. This is the first router to bring 2Gb Fiber Channel to the mid range.

Failed after 2 years..........2007-03-15

Great drive with no problems, but I apparently lacks manufacturing quality. I have used this drive for a little more than 2 years as a primary drive. Last weeks it just failed. This was a major hassle because I had my operating system installed on it. My second drive that came with my computer (Gateway) still works after four years. I won't buy Maxtor drives again.

Great SATA Hard Disk.......2006-12-20

I recommend this Hard Disk to everyone, since it's pretty fast, flawless, not noisy, easy to install and configure at a so cheap price. I have been using it for 5 months already, and I really love it ! Great decission !

Great performance, great price.......2006-11-02

My old 250 gig took a hit from a power outage (spike, off, on, off, on, spike, off - all in a couple of seconds) - I did a reformat, and maintenance so it's good for storage, albeit with slightly less space.

This 200 gig was an affordable replacement. Installation was easy, but one part was a pain. The HDD includes no drivers - you have to find the appropriate drivers for youre motherboard's SATA chipset. This took about 20 minutes of searching on the web. My Sony Vaio OEM disks did not have the drivers (only a clean install of the original system) and the Sony site had no information or drivers. After I found out it was an Intel chipset, I went to the intel site and found the drivers.

The next problem (and this was a PC design problem) was the hard drives were mounted sideways. When using the supplied SATA cable, the case will not close. I had to order a right angle cable (see photos.)

These will be issues with any SATA drive that's being used as a system drive replacement with XP or previous OS. Newer releases of XP (late 2006) or newer OS should include the drivers - I would think.

If your drives mount sideways (cables point to the side, not rear of the unit) be ready and order the right abgle cable.

Excellent value.......2006-02-14

I bought one of these (X9g-Komodo II 19" LCD DVI Monitor [Black]) for myself and then a few days later my wife's monitor died and I bought another one. (I still suspect that she broke her CRT monitor out of jealousy, but I have no proof :-)

We have been extremely pleased with the video quality and the price was outstanding. The 1280x1024 resolution in a 19" display is a good compromise for eyes that aren't so young any more. We both play high-frame-rate games and neither of us really notice any ghosting.

No dead pixels, no obvious variation in screen brightness. Both contrast and brightness are outstanding. The overall viewing quality is as good as the 23" Apple Cinema Display (1920x1280) that I used at work, and you could get about 5 of these for the price of that Apple display!

One minor caveat -- one of the two monitors (mine) has a surprisingly blurry display when using the analog (VGA) input, while the other one (my wife's) looks great. Not quite enough to be a "defect", but definitely disappointing, and drops my review from 5 stars to 4. Since I bought the display to use the DVI input, this weakness has only been a minor inconvenience, but it does mean that I can't effectively use my monitor with an SVGA KVM switch -- it would probably be fine with my wife's, but I have not tried swapping them for this test.

I think I used the internal speakers once -- that was enough. You get what you would expect to get from a couple of 1 inch cones....

clear, crisp monitor; several dead pixels upon arrival.......2004-12-14

I just received this monitor ("sceptre x9-komodo ii*") today and am impressed with the clarity and readability of the screen (see later for why I rated the monitor so low). I am using it through the DVI connector, not the analog connector It seems like there is a bit of a lag when I drag windows around, but a few quick tests with several games show the graphics to be crisp and movement to not leave too much of a shadow. The colors are good but seem a little washed out. I am using the DVI option, so there is no color adjustment, only brightness and contrast. Perhaps my graphics card is to blame, but I'm using an nvidia geforce3 ti200, which is a decent graphics card.

The only problem I have with this monitor is that it arrived with 2 dead pixels and a small, light-grey blob, about 3x3 pixels (perhaps one of the RGB elements is out in that area?). Sceptre has no warranty on dead pixels, from the warranty: "6. LCD Exclusion: Sceptre does not warrant burnt pixels on any and or all LCD displays". Buyer beware - you get what you pay for!

The monitor has a VESA mounting back - 4 screw holes separated by 100mm in a square configuration. There are a fair number of wall mounts for this, but neither the manual nor the manufacturer's website (www.sceptre.com) is clear about which ones would work or how you would prepare the monitor for wall-mounting. The monitor has its own stand, and it's hard to see how this stand can be detached before mounting directly to the wall with a VESA 100mm standard wall-mount.

My rating of this monitor would be higher if it hadn't had these dead pixel defects and if Sceptre actually had a "dead pixel" policy. I'm not a techological "apologist" - these things may be high-tech, but the manufacturers see fit to sell them to us, so they should be ready to go. I figure that for the hundreds of dollars that LCD monitors cost, they should at least be dead-pixel free when they first arrive!

---

I have since solved some of my problems with this monitor. The monitor's annoying tendency to shut off and stay off for no obvious reason, requiring me to fully disconnect it from both power and the DVI cable, seems to have been caused by the win XP "geiss" screensaver. I disabled this screensaver and the monitor hasn't given me any "permanent sleep" problems.

I downloaded the new nvidia driver for my graphics card, and this has many color adjustment options (brightness, gamma in RGB, etc.). So now skintones, ocean blues and other things look normal again.

I called customer support and they told me how to remove the stand so I could mount the monitor to my wall. They were actually very helpful in this regard.

Great quality, great price.......2004-10-28

The Komodo series has a few variations, but all employ high-quality LCD panels. The X9g-Komodo II (X9=19" diagonal, II=variation II of the Komodo serise) has a very nice panel (possibly made by Fujitsu) that's capable of 1280x1024 resolution and 16.7 million colors. The backlighting is very even, and at the max setting (25), too bright for most settings. I set it at 13, with contrast around 15 (out of 25), and it still looks bright in my office. No dead pixels on my unit.

Not all the Komodo models have the digital DVI connector. If you need DVI, be sure to get the right variation.

In summary, like other Sceptre offerings, the X9g-Komodo offers excellent image quality for a low price that's hard to beat. Very highly recommended.
