Easy to use, practical.
Lets you view local as well as remote webcameras on the TV. Works well, it does what it says. The unit is very flexible yet easy to setup.

I wish it could start automatically in Multicamera mode after power failure instead of just Sequence mode or a single camera mode. But it just takes a couple of clicks with a remote to get there.

A very practical tool.

it is what it is.
My TV is still on the wall after 3 months. LCD 52" sharp aquos

Cheetah mount
I am not an expert on mounting TVs .....was able to mount Sony XBR 52 with help. Called Electrician to wire up and attach Dish/Cable etc and put a Levitron in wall surge protector(). Went to home depot and Lowes 2 times to get screws. Seller called back to review my initial 2 star rating and seemed concerned. I guess mounting with any other brand probably would need some technical niche.
End result= we r happy!!

Good wall mount
Good wall mount in how it installs but is tight if you have to add or change cables.

Great mount
The mount is great. It's about 1 inch less wide than a 32", so you don't have much side to side play. If you do move it, it's gonna poke out one side. Tilt function works great as well.

No issues mounting other than the fact that this mount doesn't come with any bolts. It's kinda shipped in not the best manner either. Just pick you up some bolts according to your TV's manual, and you are in business.

The mount can also be used as the base to a tower shield. With a nice piece of painted plywood bolted securely to it, you can make your LARPing friends cower in fear as you charge them with your Clan's Crest on the nicest shield on the field. Have fun!

Casual casino gaming for the casual gamer.
I bought this as a gift for my father-in-law who loves poker but isn't the most computer-savvy person in the world. I wanted to get him something that was easy for him to use but still moderately challenging in game play. As anyone who has ever played video card games will attest to, it's FAR easier to win a few million dollars in virtually all video poker games than it is to do it in real life. This is a virtual certainty simply because video game manufacturers don't want their customers feeling frustrated, so they make their games easier to win.

That said, this game isn't much different from the rest. It is, as expected, very easy to win. You won't win ALL the time and there are a few things you have to know about poker before you can win, but once you've got the minimal basics down you'll end up winning more than you'll be losing. Now, that's not necessarily a bad thing. If you're looking for a casual and fun game, this could be right up your alley. If you're looking for something that's a REAL challenge then you'd be best served by finding a few buddies and setting up a poker night for everyone.

A word to the wise... You might look at the name of this item and think that it contains 15 variations of poker. It doesn't. There's a few flavors of poker in there (including the now-ubiquitous Texas Hold'Em) but there's also blackjack, roulette, craps, baccarat, slot machines and more. There's also gin rummy, a game which I've never seen in a casino before (though admittedly I'm not big on visiting the casinos in real life).

About the system: It arrives in a sturdy box whose weight belies its cheap-looking construction. The box contains the base unit that connects to the TV set via a composite video plug and a composite (mono) audio plug, the infrared game controller, and a slim set of instructions and rule book for the games. The base unit takes four AA batteries and the controller takes two more AA batteries. No AC power adapter is available and, of course, batteries are NOT included. Install the batteries, plug the base unit into your TV, change your TV's input to that location, turn it on and start playing. It doesn't get much simpler than that.

Graphics and sound are typical classic video game quality; think back to the Nintendo Entertainment System or Sega Genesis. That's about what you're getting here. It's adequate for the job but certainly won't win any awards. Video always displays in standard 4x3 resolution so those with widescreens will see vertical black bars on either side.

I tried this on several different TVs and they all worked, though the graphics quality changed substantially depending on the TV set. A 32" Vizio LCD and my 19" Sony LCD (both widescreens) showed everything crystal clear, although there was some visible pixelation when you got very close to the screen (which most people wouldn't do anyway). A 56" Sony projection TV was arguably nicer than the LCDs, likely due to the natural blurring effect of a non-LCD screen that smoothed out the pixelation. A 12" CRT TV was barely playable; words were hard to decipher and similar suits were hard to distinguish (clubs and spades looked very similar). A 9" LCD, however, was perfectly playable so visibility definitely relies more on the quality of the display rather than the size.

The base unit sits on/next to your TV and has a broad infrared receiver on the face. The controls on the base unit are minimal; POWER and RESET, basically. The controller includes a four-way directional button that provides navigation, the expected "OK" or "SELECT" button, plus a handful of additional buttons to perform specific actions within the game itself. Range on the infrared system is reasonable; at about 20 feet away and at a fairly sharp angle to the unit I was still able to play the game without interruption.

My biggest complaint about the product is its cheap-looking construction. All of the plastics are black and silver with BRIGHT red buttons and look like they were designed after watching a "Buck Rogers in the 24th Century" marathon. There was a little casting flash on the one I bought (which I cut off with a razor blade), numerous visible screws, and just a general overall cheap feeling to it. It hasn't broken so it doesn't seem to be cheaply made; it just looks and feels cheap. Which, at ~ or so, it actually is.

All in all, this game is essentially a specialized and glorified handheld casino game. I could very easily see this game being offered on a Game Boy, for example, and not looking much different. Still, for the money and if you're in the right target audience this isn't a bad little game.

Great value but not for a small TV!
The games are fun and look fine on a larger TV, but using them on a 15" or smaller set yields numbers and text so fuzzy they are unreadable. Some of the games look ok, most do not. Stick to a larger TV and you will be fine.

Great deal!!
If you like casino games you will love this. The remote works great. Hours of fun for a great price.

Fun game, just like you are at a Casino!
I really think this game is great. I purchased one for my Mom and Dad, and one for my brother-in-law too. They love Las Vegas, and have been missing the casino games. I have heard nothing but praise for this game from them, as they play it all the time. It is realistic, and the games are very detailed. It is much easier to see than the hand held games, since it does get viewed on your tv set. Great for the elderly, and young alike. I would recommend this game to anyone that misses the casinos, and would like to brush up on their skills for the next trip to Las Vegas! Great game, will purchase another one for myself.

Tremendous Gadget
I bought this a little over 2 months ago for my Acer 8930-6306 laptop with 18.4" HD LCD. Set up was simple, basically plug and play. After I loaded the CD, I chose the antenna option (not cable) in the set up and chose only the digital option. 26 over the air local digital channels were found in my area (NYC), such as CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX, PBS, WOR, WPIX, Weather Channel, etc; and many of them were in 1080iHD. The picture is quite beautiful. I really can't believe it. I watched some of the NFC playoff games on my laptop, along with the Super Bowl, and it was the best picture I've ever seen. It was so beautiful that I went out and bought a 40" Sony Bravia Z series HDTV LCD.
I'm using a Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT (Graphics Card), 4GB DDR3 Ram and a Intel Core 2 Duo processor P8400 (2.26 GHz). I mention this because one needs a good graphics card, strong processor and sufficient memory to get this to work. I'm using a USB extender in order to save one of my USB ports since the USB adapter is big. The included antenna is small, but quite powerful and sits very well on my desk, attached to the USB adapter.
Windows Media Center Edition offers a slightly better picture than the Arcsoft Total Media 3 program (included on the CD) and set up was simple. All one has to do is click set up TV in Windows Media Center and Windows does the rest (I chose widescreen 16:9), including the download TV Guide option (every 2 weeks). The picture is amazing and quite a sight to behold using Windows Media Center.
The sound, which comes from my laptop's 5.1 Dolby Digital internal speakers, is adequate.
There is very little documentation that comes with this gadget. But K-World does offer free technical support and when I had a question, a person picked up immediately (when I called) and was very helpful.
If you are looking to watch TV on your laptop and you have a HD LCD screen, along with the proper components and live reasonably close to a metropolitan area, this is the gadget for you.

Need improvements
I got this product nearly a month ago, on sale for almost less than half its listed price, and thus, I have been pretty satisfy for what I got.

The actual tuner itself does get a little warm but not to the point of hot, as noted by other users of other tuner sticks. I would suggest either using an USB extension cable or else, glue some sort of small rubber spacer piece onto the bottom of the tuner so it would support the weight when used with a laptop; even though the tuner stick itself is relatively light, the 3+" length, combined with the antenna cable once attached, would still put downward stress onto your already well-abused USB port- which is usually set around quarter to just less than half an inch from whatever work surface your laptop would be resting on. Do you really want your USB ports to even bend at any angles for such short distance!?

The non-shielded cable from the antenna would have to be treated carefully too, especially where the cable terminated into the special coax plug! Since the common coaxial cables are a lot more thicker and beefier of construction, with the coax connectors crimped on, they could take a lot more rough handling than the this Kworld version. I didn't realized it at the time but from twisting and untwisting the coax connector on and off the tuner sticker itself, I was grasping the black rubber boot that was molded onto the connector and the cable itself (what I would considered the most normal thing to do); the two wires within were probably soldered onto the special plug instead of being crimped and thus, I literally twisted the soldered wires apart underneath the rubber molding. This was my conclusion since I could not disassemble to check. All I knew was that, at some time, the antenna stop working and I was not getting any signals.

So, be careful and just grasp and turn the metal hex ring of the coax connector without over tightening it.

The user interface of the actual TV program could use some refining too, as it is very basic and not intuitive. The viewing window could only be resized either as default small or full screen and nothing in between.

I have been using this tuner stick in public areas some ten or so miles north of central Seattle and as any other such USB tuner, my reception for various HD and SD TV channels are competely dependent on the very exact placement of that eight inch long antenna. With a nudge of even an inch in any direction, I could either get a much stronger signal or loose whatever I got completely. It appeared that even sitting by a window does not matter as much as where I place, through much experimenting, the antenna. I guess in the end, it's all about trial and error and finding that tiny sweet spot for any one particular channel.

In conclusion, for around thirty bucks, it serves its purpose of being extremely portable and letting me satisfy my TV craving from time to time when I am away from a real HD TV and on the road.

Awesome Product
I tried different products and finally settled with this one. The tuner is so small and light weight, but does its job perfectly. I used this and was able to tune properly to all the HD channels in my area and didnt face any issues.It also worked with my cable connection.

The software provided with this is too good and this is compatible with windows media center also. The only problem i faced was that there was no proper manual for this one.

Stupendous
It is expensive but if HD is needed in a very small format this is the product. price will come down substantially but it will be a while. Simple to hook up- just plug and play. Picture is fabulous. have it on the countertop in the bathroom- takes uo very little room and looks sllek and modern.

Freaking outstanding set. Buy several.
I love OLED technology. We needed a new set in the guest bath, so we ordered one of these on a whim. We all fell in love with them, and so the whole family wanted one. The next thing we ordered 6 more--one for each of the kids' rooms and the other bathrooms. I logged on today to buy 2 more after my wife found someone who could do a custom install in the H2's. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough room to put them in the H3's, so the kids will have to wait a year until they can trade up to something bigger.

I considered getting one for the master bedroom, but my one gripe is that the set is a little small. It's hard to replace a 50" screen with a 10" one. My wife said there was already too much undersized hardware in the bedroom. I'm not sure what she meant by that. I put a call into Sony, and they are accepting 10% deposits on the upcoming 36" OLED set. So that's something to consider. For the ,000 you would spend for just two of the current OLED's, you can get on the waiting list for the 36", due in 2011.

Until then, I'm spending an awful lot of time locked in the bathroom. My wife keeps nagging me that I'll surely go blind, but I tell her the OLED isn't that small.

ultimate technology for a portable blu-ray player
i have been using this set for 6 months with a modified "code free" pioneer
dv-400v upscaling dvd player.(do not own any blu-ray or hd player yet.)picture on the xel-1 is so good im not feeling deprived. miner
issues:the screen is highly reflective and will need to be positioned so you arent viewing your own reflection,etc. also,the packaging for this set is quite complex,so if you buy online,you wont be casually shipping this back if you encounter problems. i am nearsighted,and this is an ideal set to watch without my glasses,which is important when using a headphone based audio setup.

Have seen it, don't own it. Yet.
I just returned from Korea where I saw this display in an airport store. The screen is deceivingly small, the eleven inches looking even less generous than it sounds. It is wider than your average wide screen tv available, only half as tall as it is wide (about 5 inches - 5.5 according to this site.)

However, the picture looked amazing. I was caught by this before I knew I was looking at OLED - the faces on the display were the most realistic I have ever seen, on any kind of monitor. The quality was equivalent to a printed photograph. Looking closely I could still spot the pixels, the same size as any good quality lcd monitor. So I give credit mostly to the contrast ratio, in addition to the fact they were playing a blue ray from a ps3.

Anyway, 2500 is too much right now, I think you need to see it in person before you buy. I would dock a star for that, but I just can't be that harsh on this new technology - it really is the next big thing.

Sony AM/FM radio walkman
This product is great for using at a gym that has the TVs set to different FM stations since it has 10 FM presets. Also, it has a lock feature that keeps you from accidentily switching stations or turning the power off while your working out or doing yard work, etc.

Does what it does well
This little radio does a great job at picking up local stations, and allows you to preset several of your favorite radio stations. The headphones are also good quality, with decent bass. A great purchase when all you want is a decent AM/FM radio.

Pretty good radio.
I've had this radio for a few years and it's still working so that's pretty good since most of these little portable radios break if you look at them the right way. The reception is also decent. Not great but good enough. The only downside is that there is no equilizer and the output is a bit bass shy so it's best to use them with headphones that have good bass response.

perfect little radio
I've had this for about a decade. After a kazillion drops to the floor, it needed to be replaced, so I bought another just like it. Good reception, convenient to use, fits in any pocket. Just right.
