Product Description
The Electrograph DTS42 is a revolutionary plasma monitor with an array of compelling features. The DTS42 utilizes the latest plasma display panel technology with a sophisticated built-in scaler, giving the panel the ability to display high-resolution computer images of up to UXGA (1600 x 1200). In addition to the UXGA scaling ability, the DTS42 also incorporates an assortment of user-friendly features including 90-degree portrait mode, electronic zoom with adjustable magnification, picture-in-picture, picture freeze, built-in sound system, programmable on-screen display, 530: 1 ratio contrast and a peak brightness rating of 400cd/m2. In addition, the DTS42 comes in a completely metal chassis, making it ideal for public display applications.
Amazon.com Product Description
Daewoo's 42-inch widescreen plasma offering is large enough and affordable enough, relatively speaking, to make it a strong contender for any style-conscious home theater enthusiast. The DTS-42 is an EDTV (enhanced-definition television) with native 480p pixel resolution and display compatibility with standard-, enhanced- and full high-definition input sources (480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i), making it perfect for use with progressive-scan DVD players, personal computers, and DTV set-top receivers alike.
With a plasma screen you get vivid colors like you've never seen before, extremely wide viewing angles (wider, even, than those of most LCD screens), and easy placement due to a plasma monitor's slim profile--the DTS-42 is a mere 3.2 inches deep, perfect for desk or wall mounting. Brightness tends to be extremely uniform across plasma screens, which are also impervious to the picture distortion and negative color balances that afflict CRT monitors when placed near lighting or sound systems. You do, however, need to be wary of image burn-in (wherein long-held stationary images leave a permanent impression in the screen).
The DTS-42 offers 853 x 480 native pixel resolution, a stunning 1,000:1 contrast ratio, high 1,000 cd/m2 peak luminance, and broad (160 degrees, horizontal/vertical) viewing angles so everyone can enjoy the best seat in the house.
Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.
The DTS-42 also performs 3:2 pulldown detection and reversal. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; reverse 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.
A digital, dynamic comb filter enhances 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). Other image enhancements include CCF (Capsulated Color Filter) technology for natural colors, a MGDI (Meta Genuine Digital Image) engine, and ISM (Image Sticking Minimization), which guards against image burn-in)
An onboard NTSC tuner lets you watch SD television right out of the box.
What's in the Box
TV, remote control, 2 ferrite-cores (for optional speaker connections), 1 component-video cable, 1 coaxial RF cable, 2 stereo analog/composite-video cables, 1 AC power cable, and a user's manual.

Terrible. Never Buy Daewoo Again!.......2006-12-28
I also bought this Daewoo DTS-42 plasma EDTV about one and a half year ago. Exactly 12 months and 2 weeks later, it started developing some vertical scan lines, and occasionally shut itself off automatically. Initially there were only 2 or 3 vertical lines but it quickly develops into more than two dozen. Warranty had expired and Daewoo don't even have a local service center. I thought the problem was due to hot weather so I put it away for half a year. A few weeks ago I tried to hook it up for another test. This time there are more than a hundred vertical scan lines. Totally useless now.
I swear I will NEVER NEVER EVER buy another DAEWOO product ever again, and will tell all people I know to do the same. I thought I bought it cheap but it was junk!
terrible.......2006-10-29
within 14-15 months of purchase, i developed a pixel line. Daewoo noted that while this was a rare occurrence, especially for such a new set, the warranty was the warranty, and it was out of warranty (warranty period was one year). They would fix it for $500, but only warranty it for 30 days following repair. After two more months I had over 25 of these "rare" pixel lines. I finally gave in and sent it in. Now, 31 days into the 30 warranty period, the power turns off within seconds. (the unit is on an expensive surge protector, which itself is on a whole-house surge protector, and no other equipment not bearing the name "Daewoo" is malfunctioning. I will not buy again.
Vertical Line problem after 2 years of use.......2006-07-30
I have had my Daewoo for A little over two years. I am now experiencing a problem with a vertical line that is about 2 inches thick running down the middle of the screen. It comes and goes. Mostly it is there. I purchased my TV with a Platinum Mastercard which extended my warranty of 1 year by an extra year. Unfortunately, I missed the opportunity to capitalize on that benefit by about 2 months. Now, I too, have a tv that I paid about $2000 for that is on its way out the door. Pretty sad when I consider the fact that my old picture tube tv that I owned prior to this one cost me about $300 and lasted more than 10 years. After Reading all the reviews I am leftwondering if its even worth trying to get it repaired. I checked with Daewoo customer service and there are NO service centers in my area. Im very dissapointed in my purchase and suggest anybody who may be considering a purchase of this TV to think again. From what I am reading, odds are against you enjoying this TV for very long.
A YEAR AND A HALF AND I STILL DON'T HAVE A WORKING TELEVISION.......2006-07-25
One star is FAR TO HIGH A RATING.
I bought my television in Jan 05. Three months later the *entire* plasma panel died. I called Daewoo several times before I got a response from them (they were notorious for never calling me back). They wanted me to send it in to them for repair as there was NOONE in my local area that would work on the TV (first warning sign).
Almost *two whole months* later and numerous phone calls from me to them they finally sent me a packing box. Once I shipped it off it was 3 months later I FINALLY received my TV back from their service center... STILL BROKEN. SAME EXACT PROBLEM!
At last count I have sent my plasma to them *FOUR* times. They have YET to fix it and have now had it in their possession LONGER THAN I HAVE (it is July 23, 2006 today). I still don't have a working television.
Just this last weekend I said "forget it" and bought one of Sony's SXRD TVs. That's right. I bought a television that was almost THREE TIMES THE PRICE of this Daewoo hunk of junk solely due to the one single fact that I can TRUST Sony's customer service.
Here's the "too long; didn't read" version: AVOID LIKE THE FREAKIN' PLAGUE!
Decent TV with awful service! Stay away from Daewoo junk!.......2006-07-03
I got this TV from CompUSA when it was on sale. A couple of good points:
Picture looks decent with standard cable. On some channels, football looks 'wierd', when the players are standing still, they are blurry/pixeled? But otherwise, a decent picture.
Speakers actually sounds decent, even though they are listed as 5 watts!
But I'm on my 3rd TV, and I was supposed to get this one replaced too, but Daewoo service has stopped returning my calls. They all had the same problem: a vertical or horizontal line appears in the screen. One of the replacements had the lines when I recieved it, and it was a refurbished unit, so I guess it was never fixed right to begin with.
Now the unit is no longer under warranty, and Daewoo refuses to fix it. When I asked for a manager to call me back, they never do.
I guess I should have bought the extended warranty from CompUSA. 14 months after purchase and I'm stuck with broken TV number 3. Thanks Daewoo!

small, simple to use, great results.......2003-12-16
I have this scanner at home for personal use and have used it to scan in a lot of my old photos. I think the pictures turn out great! The quality is at least as good as my digital camera. I run the software on Win XP and I have had no problems. It is so simple even my computer illiterate in-laws run it effortlessly.
needs software.......2003-02-04
i would like to have software for my mustek 1200cu scanner i really need help, i can scan but nothing else, i was told that i needed software, please HELP.
Avoid at all costs.......2002-01-04
This scanner arrived and immediately would not function. I use XP, and the software stated it would only run on Windows 95(!).
When I went to the Mustek website, it offered a 9 part download to update the software. The problem is that the Mustek website is so incompetent that the connection for the download was at about 400bytes per second (with me using DSL). It would be better to return the scanner then to sit through the 18 hour download.
Having known people who have used terrible Mustek scanners in the past, I am surprised that this company is still in business. I suspect they may not even really exist.
It's The Most Unique Scanner I've Ever Seen.......2001-09-25
While it's true, scanners come in all shapes and sizes.
The only scanner for my hard earned dollar is the Mustek Bear paw Scanner.
This handy slim item weighs only 6 lbs., and has 5 features in one.
Why purchase 4 or 5 different Computer componants when you can have it all with a Bear Paw Scanner.
Why wait! Get yours,now!!!!
You get what you pay for........2001-08-04
This was my very first scanner and was extremely excited about buying it. I love the BearPaw features that lets you scan, copy, e-mail and fax right from your desktop. The USB connection was great. The software that was bundled with my scanner is very weak. But they also tell you that you are stuck with the software that it came with. That means no upgrades. The scanner is extremely slow. I would not recommend this scanner for a large project unless you have 1/2 day to complete it.There is no manual and your web advviser may or may not know what to do. It is difficult to import and export pictures..But you get what you pay for.I would recommend this for home use only.
Product Description

Customer Reviews:
Nice TV, but not the best.......2003-08-01
TV has no inputs for a center channel so one must be set on top. My first unit had a black spot on the screen, I couldn't find anyone to do warranty work for Philips (neither could they). After 7 weeks of calls, emails, waiting on parts, and finally a complaint against Philips to the Better Business Bureau and a credit card dispute. The store I purchased the unit from agreed to exchange it for me.
Make sure there are no flaws in yours before you get it home, it is a pain to get someone to do anything for you after that. Philips made no efforts whatsoever to get this matter resolved, I had to call each repair center myself.
The Ultravision (Hitachi) seemed to have a better picture.
wow.......2003-06-23
This is the best tv in the whole wide world.

Customer Reviews:
Poor quality.......2002-07-18
I ordered this drive 6 months ago. The drive I initially received, worked fine initially, but over a few months took longer and longer to warm up (up to 30 minutes), before the computer would recognize it. I returned it to the manufacturer. The second drive they sent me lasted for about 2 weeks, before my computer reported that it could not read from the drive at all, due to I/O errors. It seems that this drive is so unreliable, I need to keep a copy of all my files somewhere else, to be sure I don't lose anything when the drive fails.
Needs better support for OS-X.......2001-12-27
Does not operate well in OS-X. Drive is not accessable in OS-X unless Classic OS-9 is running on bootup. This means that you cannot run OS-X applications directly from the drive.
The transfer rate for this drive is extremely slow when uploading digital video files directly from the camera to the drive. The drive will lockup and you will need to reboot the system to unlock the drive if you cannot unlock it by powering the drive on and off.
Maxtor customer service is lacking, as well. There is no disclaimer on the box or any of their documentation on their website advising consumers about compatability problems with OS-X. They do not have any driver updates section for this drive on their website. I finally found the OS-X disclaimer after I downloaded the Software Installation file and decompressed it. This file should have been on the webpage as a notice.
Maxtor makes very good products, but they really stepped on it with this one. They need to do a better job with Mac products if they want to keep their share of this market, or just do us a favor and stop producing for the Mac and save us a lot of time.
great product for use with an iMac.......2001-12-12
I have had nothing but good luck with this product since I bought it about 4 months ago. I use it for backing up my hard drive and extra video and picture storage. Easy to use and nice looking on the desktop. Highly recommend. I think I would spend the extra cash on the 80MB if I had it to do all over though.
Maxtor External Hard Drives.......2001-11-02
Since no one had mentioned their experience with Maxtor external drives on the PC, I thought I would add my two cents. I recently purchased the 40gb USB HD from them and it works great. Between my friends and I, we have all had nothing but instant plug and play success in Windows 98, ME, and 2000 -- which I must say is rare for PC products. They don't even include driver disks; you don't need them!
I don't see why the FireWire option would be much different, assuming you have the correct ports. It's an excellent buy for so much storage space. If you don't plan on swapping much data and use it more for backups or ghosting as I do, it puts any other medium (Zip, Jaz, CD-R, Tape) to shame.
Lastly, I would definitely recommend Maxtor products over Buslink, who also makes external HDs. I bought Buslink's silver portable CD-RW drive and still haven't been able to get it to work in Windows 2000 (which claimed compatibility on the box), and I have given up on their customer service after months of being no help whatsoever.
Don't risk your data on this drive.......2001-10-27
The first one of these I bought wouldn't stay alive for more than a couple of minutes between power-ups. Maxtor kept telling me it was an incompatibility with my computer and wouldn't repair it even though I had tried a different firewire card and computer. I returned the drive for another one. The next one worked more reliably until recently and now it acts like the first one I bought. Maxtor won't admit this drive has flaws!
