A great companion that you will want to take anywhere, März 26, 2009

I ordered my Acer Aspire One 10.1 Netbook (AOD150-1165) on Feb 28, 2009 from Amazon. Item shipped on March 2nd and arrived on March 14.

When I ordered only Sapphire Blue color was available but I am happy with Sapphire Blue. It looks very attractive. I would normally order either white or black model but I am glad they were not available The only thing I can complain is that it easily gets finger marks so I try not to touch the shiny surfaces.

When you unpack the box and hold it on your hand, you will realise how light this is (especially if you have been lugging a 17″ laptop) This is very transportable and ideal for those small airplane tray tables (or your lap)

The 1.6Ghz N270 Intel Atom processor is a single core processor but it is pretty snappy and certainly more than enough for most office type usage. The Netbook ships with Windows XP Home w/SP3 installed instead of Vista so to me it feels as responsive as (or better than) a Core 2 Duo based laptop running Vista.

The unit is rather quiet. The fan or hard disk noise is minimal. The fan does not kick in often during normal use. It might be more active with some heavy CPU/HD activity tasks.

The screen is 1024×600 CrystalBright (shiny) type LCD but very comfortable to read under various light conditions. There is an integrated 0.3M megapixel (640×480) webcam and microphone embedded in the screen frame. Ideal to use a video phone/conferencing software like Skype, usw.. BTW, to gain some vertical space on desktop, you might want to set Windows XP taskbar to auto-hide and pop-up when you move the cursor to the edge of the screen.

The keyboard is actually pretty well designed. Unlike some models from competitors, the shift, control, alt, tab, enter, backspace keys are all in the right places. Initially, I found the keys a bit small but after a few days of use, you get used to and avoid hitting two keys. The arrow keys could have been a bit bigger as there is room along the lower right side of the keyboard.

The touchpad on this model is made by Synaptics and is pretty configurable. Like everything else it is a bit small but works acceptably well. It would have been better if it was made wider. Touchpad buttons is another story. They are correctly placed below the touchpad but instead of using two independent buttons the designers chose to use one bar over the two buttons. This made the buttons much harder to press. I would have preferred two independent buttons. I think this is the biggest complaint about the design of this netbook. Nevertheless, the buttons do get softer over time. I have softened the buttons out by pressing both ends of the button bar at the same time repeatedly. I do this a number of times before using the laptop each day. So, it is not that hopeless.

Nun, I do try to get myself used to build-in keyboard and mouse but those that are doing extensive work can still attach a regular USB keyboard and a USB mouse. For example, Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 is a perfect match.

Alternatively, you can tap on the touchpad instead of pressing the buttons. The synaptics touchpad is pretty configurable. You can configure a corner of the touchpad for right button and anywhere else would be left button.

The speakers for this netbook is under it. They are pretty loud and sound quality is pretty decent. Allerdings, since the speaker openings are underside of the netbook, if you are holding it on a soft surface such as carpet or bed the sound can get muffled as the openings will be blocked. It’s not a very good idea to keep it on the soft surfaces for a long time anyway as this will block the fan vents as well and cause the netbook to overheat.

There is 1GB RAM memory on DDR2 SODIMM module installed (mine was made by Samsung). There is no on-board soldered memory (the description on Amazon is incorrect and is referring to older 8.9″ model). The memory is easily upgradable to 2GB by replacing the SODIMM module. I upgraded the memory on 10.1″ Aspire One to 2GB by installing a “Mushkin 2GB 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Laptop Memory – Retail” module (Mushkin part #991618). It works great! Please note that this module has CAS4 (4-4-4-12) timing instead of more common CAS5 (5-5-5-16). In other words, it is slightly faster memory as it has less wait states

The hard disk is a Hitachi HTS543216L9A300, 160GB 2.5″ 5400rpm, Serial ATA, 8MB Cache disk. It’s pretty quiet. I think there is plenty of space for most applications. If you need more you can attach an external USB hard drive or the hard disk itself can be upgraded almost as easily as the RAM memory.

The wireless chip (AR5007EG) is made by Atheros and supports…

Ein Aspire, die begeistert, Februar 12, 2009

By

C. Ferretti “tech head” (Montclair, NJ USA) – See all my reviews

Acer hat ein nettes Mini-Notebook in eine bessere. Der Bildschirm ist größer und genauso hell. Die Tastatur ist immer noch groß (für eine kleine). Nr. weirdly platziert rechte Shift-Taste Platzierung (Asus, Lenovo, usw.). Das Mousepad-Tasten unterhalb des Touchpads nicht an der Seite (ja). Es ist nun leicht zu erhöhen oder zu ersetzen ram das Laufwerk ganz ohne Demontage des Gerätes und die Garantie erlischt. Ich habe keine Beschwerden. Ich liebte die erste, diese behebt alle Kritikpunkte des ersten. Nichts nur große Raffinesse. Jemand ist auf seine Kunden zu hören und es ist Acer.

Nachtrag: der Bildschirm ist glänzend, und erste Aufträge bekommen den größeren Akku 5900ma. Es ragen die ein wenig zurück, aber die Laufzeit ist erstaunlich,. Es ist die am längsten laufende Mini-Laptop draußen sein, einschließlich des neuen Asus 1000HE und Samsung 10NC, für viel weniger $$. That’s a win in my book. Leicht zu berühren Typ (für mich), gutes Aussehen, Ich brauche eine xD-Card-Slot und dieser hat ein 7-1, es ist ein bisschen ein aufblasen ware, einfach löschen und setzen auf das, was Sie brauchen, Die HD ist groß genug,.

Spektakulär! Super Zufrieden!, Februar 16, 2009

By

D. Erickson (Texas) – See all my reviews

I was worried about getting one as I have had a 12″ Laptop und war nicht glücklich mit der Bildschirmgröße. Aber dieses Bild ist so hell, es nicht einmal ein Thema werden, not to mention the 1064×600 really makes it seem bigger!

Ein weiterer Bonus, dieses Baby fährt 7.5 zu 8 Stunden wegen der 5800Amh 6 cell battery! Süß. Sehr zufrieden mit, dass. Ich habe gehört, die meisten waren mit dem Versand 4400Amh 6 Zelle, verleiht Ihrem 5-6 Stunden. Ich kann laufen den ganzen Tag oder zwei vor dem Aufladen, sehr schön! Ich muss weiter suchen bei Batterieanzeige im DIS-Glaube, dass die Batterie noch 75% oder 50%, es einfach dauert ewig!

Dies ist natürlich super portable, und wirklich, wie Laptops sollten sein. Sie können sich auf ein Bein stellen, it doesn’t weigh you down when actually sitting in your lap which is nice. Ich habe viele Laptops im Laufe der Jahre hatte, Bildschirmgrößen und dieser gewinnt man die Hände nach unten nach Preis, und Leistung. Das Gerät ist stark schweren Fall, im Vergleich zu einigen neueren dünnen Kunststoff-Laptops.

The Review You Were Looking For, Februar 26, 2011

By

Andrew S. Tafoya “raab_it” (Albuquerque, NM USA) – See all my reviews

This is a weird purchase for me, coming from being a SONY & Samsung Fanboy. This is the most outstanding 2D picture I have ever laid my eyes on, and I have seen many High-end Television sets. I almost bought a Sony XBR-HX909 for the super high reviews on its amazing 2D image. But once I saw the 3D image I was a bit thrown off by the 3D technology, after already owning a Panasonic 3D Viera which was much better. So this is what I have gathered from my total experience with the Vizio 3D HDTV:

-PROS-

+The purchased place with Amazon was better than I thought it would have been. Easy, Fast, Free Shipping, NO TAX (Tax is around $115 if you buy from a store), and perfectly cared for; Sam’s Club is scary, lol.

+47 inches of “OMG! It is bigger than I thought.” This set gives so much at this price, quality, and Size!!!

+The LED television is thicker, due to the 160 LEDs being directly behind the screen. This makes for better contrast that will blow your mind away!!! I have never seen this kind of true black on a set ever before. Sony sells this technology for around $3,500; yikes!

+Features, Features, Features!!! The WiFi works amazingly. The Netflix app play videos at a higher resolution than my PS3 or computer using HDMI. The WebTV programs are limited but they are great, like Revision3. There is Vudu rental, Amazon Steaming, and of course Netflix. There is Pandora and a radio app for local radio station; or any state you want.

+The best built-in speakers! The sound is out outrageous, there is simply no thin TV that can house speaker like the ones on this set. I was going to buy a 5.1 Dolby system for the room, but I only turn the volume up 20% on the Vizio. I recommend to turn Truevolume off, if causes weird volume changes. This feature is on most Televisions with different names, but always cause volume issues; much like ipod’s volume settings.

+The remote is bluetooth and an amazing little device. All remotes should be like this one!!! It is universal, and automatically has the codes in the television for all devices but the PS3; due to the PS3 syncing. But the XBOX 360 is compatible! TIVO, DirectTV, usw.. The keyboard is great for the apps and Facebook! Since it is bluetooth, like the PS3 Blu-ray remote, the signal is always connected, so the buttons are harder to press so you don’t accidentally change channels. This is a good thing.

+Bluetooth means wireless headphones so you don’t bother others who don’t want to hear the TV; like my girlfriend when she is sleeping. You can buy Vizio’s headsets, or any bluetooth headset you may have will work as well.

+The accessories like the Vizio Router, Bluetooth Headset, or Vizio Stereo equipment are made easy and for a great price (high ratings from CNET). The 3D Glasses are sold seperately, but only cost around $150 for two rechargeable glasses. That is about the price that SONY or Samsung sells for one Pair!!! Very Cheap for 3D!!! 2 SONY pairs will buy you 4 Vizio pairs. A lot of the other 3D TVs come with one pair, or no glasses at all.

+The Price is dead on with AWESOME!!! It is robbery!!! I payed $1500, and chose Amazon after the tax factor of buying in a store. The 480hz (really 240hz) makes 2D images amazing, and not look fake at all! Remember to turn this feature all the way to high, because it is turned off out-of-the-box.

Okay, well here is the BAD:

CONS

-There is no SD slot, but this is not a problem really. There is 3 USB ports! 3!!! I never used the SD slot on my Panasonic, it is kind of useless.

-The 3D is not like my Plasma 3D. BUT!!! The Plasma does great 3D, but not a great 2D image. 3D is a fun factor, don’t take it seriously and you will be fine. The ghosting issue is present, but it is present on every 3D set I have seen but the Panasonic 3D Plasmas. The 3D can be down right horrible on the PS3 video games at times, but does okay on the movies. Remember that 3D is not a every moment thing on this set. It is used rarely and on all 3D pictures you can turn it off to 2D. I personally like the 3D and the glasses, but don’t think that there will be any set better than this, other than the Plasmas. The real focus should be that the TVs 480hz (really 240hz) is used for better 3d, but really make the biggest difference on the 2D image; which is amazing!

-Size, is a bit thicker, but it is because it has to be in order to produce the images at the 10,000,000:1 Contrast. I think the set is beautiful, and my friends freak out how beautiful it is in person! So Size is nothing but a few inches difference. You should really not worry about size though, you can’t see how thick the TV is, but you can tell the Image difference.

IN THE END

This Television out preforms all the Television set I have seen, even the Samsung 8000 series. It has so many features, you will feel…

Amazing 2D, broken 3D., Februar 1, 2011

By

J. Puckett (Kentucky) – See all my reviews

I’ve been in the market for a new TV for about a year now and have been waiting patiently for a decently priced LED LCD as well as 3D. This 47″ Vizio seemed to finally hit the price point and size that I was looking for, so I jumped on a pre-Super Bowl sale from a nationwide wholesaler. I picked up the TV along with a pair of the Vizio-branded 3D glasses.

A quick note before going into my review. My TV came with firmware version VIZIO_XP1.21.2.1.

I’ll start out by saying that the 2D picture is absolutely amazing. The blacks are black and colors are vibrant. The TV almost doesn’t need any calibration coming out of the box for those who like to tweak the picture. For those who never know any better, they should be very happy from the get-go. Thanks to the local dimming, I can see no issues of backlight bleeding/clouding/flashlighting on my set. Also due to the 160 local dimming zones, I’ve seen no hint of blooming on my set from my normal viewing distance of about 8′. The TV just absolutely shines with well-mastered blu-ray movies. So far I’ve tested Avatar and The Hangover, and both simply blow my mind with the quality present. I upgraded from a 4-year old 60hz 1080p LCD and watching blu-ray movies on this new Vizio is like experiencing HD all over again. I promise you this is not hyperbole, I’m that amazed by the clarity of the picture when being fed top-notch, non-compressed signals.

The remote feels a bit cheap but gets the job done. The slide-out keyboard is very nice for the Vizio Internet Apps (VIA) feature and works as expected. The buttons are a bit stiff though and the remote itself feels like it’s prone to breakage at some point in the future.

The motion interpolation control in this TV seems to be well done, frame transitions are very smooth and, from what I can tell, introduce no artifacts or juddering. You can turn the motion control completely off if you don’t like the “soap opera effect”, as it’s called. There are 4 settings for the motion control, “Off”, “Low”, “Medium”, and “High”. Changing between “Off” and “Low” produces the obvious intended effect, but I’m so far unable to perceive a difference between “Low”, “Medium”, and “High”.

The Vizio Internet Apps are merely OK to me, as I already have a lot of this functionality available to me through my Playstation 3 or XBOX 360. There currently is no Youtube or Hulu support on VIA with the 3D versions of these TVs, which is a bummer. I would expect them to be added in a future firmware update though, since the 2D-only XVT line has them. The Netflix app worked OK, no issues here. For the curious, it appears to use the interface of the old PS3 disc-based Netflix app, which is sufficient but not the best out of the many UI iterations Netflix has come up with over various devices. The Facebook app seemed highly useless to me, as it seemed to require too much navigation to view the stuff I wanted. The Twitter app actually seemed quite useful and shows the latest followed tweet directly in the “tile” when bringing up the VIA interface…a nice touch. The weather app serves its purpose well and the VUDU app was actually put together nicely, although it still pales in comparison to the slick PS3 VUDU app. It does fare better in a head-to-head comparison than does the Netflix app, though. I haven’t tried any of the other apps installed. All-in-all, I think the addition of VIA is a nice feature-add to the TV but not a selling point.

On to the 3D, which was the second-most feature I was looking forward to on this model. After giving it a fairly thorough testing across different types of media, I think it’s just plain broken. The crosstalk/ghosting is very bad through almost all content I tried, rarely looking great enough that I would consider it “watchable”. The problem seems to be with high-contrast screens, which includes almost everything you’re going to watch unfortunately. I’m somewhat leaning towards the Vizio glasses being the problem, as I’m not convinced they are opaque enough when closed, but the issue could lie in any number of places. I’m tempted to be silly and try using them along with some sunglasses to see if that helps block out any extra unwanted light from each eye, but even if it did help, that’s obviously not an acceptable work-around.

I’ve tried various 3D-enabled games, the n3D channel on DirecTV, and the free 3D demos available on VUDU. The only times I’ve watched something and had all forms of crosstalk disappear is with Super Stardust HD, some scenes in the Toy Story 3 trailer, and almost all of the Jim Carrey animated Christmas movie trailer (mainly due to it being mostly dark). Everything else has been bad enough to where I consider it completely unwatchable.

I had thought to try adjusting picture settings while displaying 3D content to see if I could minimize or eliminate some of the…

EARLY REVIEW, Dezember 12, 2010

By

David T. Fischer (Chicago, IL) – See all my reviews

I just purchased this TV and I’m still in the process of doing everything with it, but I’m here to give an honest first impression. I’m actually using my computer connected to this TV to write this review and let me say that in my tiny bedroom this TV is massive. It looks great with my computer connected via RGB and there is little to no lag. I just watched KROQ’s Almost Acoustic Christmas on the TV last night and the stream looked pretty good for what it was. The 2D picture is fantastic on this product and both my PS3 and Xbox 360 look amazing on it. The 3D needs work and I knew that coming into this TV. There is some ghosting of the image when watching 3D, but it does it’s job well enough. You will definitely notice ghosting on anything other than Blu-ray 3D and titles in general. I’m not happy about it, but what can you do? I’m not using a certified 3D HDMI cable, so maybe that’s an issue? I know it’s a high speed HDMI cable, so it should be good enough. I did just order an Amazon High Speed 3D supported cable though to see if there is a difference. I’ll update this review with my findings. I’d say the 3D is not a must for this TV, but is a cool extra. I watched a 3D Hockey game last night that was broadcast on Xfinity 3D in my area. It was pretty cool, but the ghosting is plentiful. If you don’t know what I mean by ghosting, well I mean that you can see a shadow of the image behind the 3D image and it makes everything a bit blurry. The score graphic on the Hockey game looked horrible as do the static titles in most 3D cases. I would not recommend buying the 3D GLASSES, WHICH HAVE TO BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY. I bought mine at Sam’s Club for about $160 and I was happy for that price. I still would caution anyone expecting perfect 3Dm which is a let down when you don’t feel it’s perfect after spending so much money. Vizio should really bundle at least one pair of 3d glasses, especially since the technology is not up to snuff. I tried some of the Vizio Internet Apps and the Yahoo Weather is cool, so is the Amzon Video(Thanks for the $5 video credit!) Netflix seems to work, but it as SUPER SLOW for me through wireless connection and my bars are almost full. I thought the TV froze it was so slow. Maybe being connected with Ethernet directly would change this. Anyway, here are some pros and cons, if you have any questions email me at: Doofus88@gmail.com

PROS:

-Great 2D picture

-3D option is nice

-Works well with connected computers, PS3, and Xbox 360.

-Sound is pretty good, mind you I’m in a tiny room.

-Internet Apps are nice, but Netflix seemed slow over wireless.

CONS:

-3D technology not good enough for the high price tag.

-Expensive 3D glasses that are NOT INCLUDED.

SIDE COMMENT:

I also want to comment that Amazon uses Pilot for shipping and they really suck. DON’T EXPECT YOUR TV TO BE DELIVERED ON THE DAY YOU SCHEDULE ON AMAZON. I got mine Saturday and it was supposed to be delivered Thursday. Pilot’s costumer service was rude and the delivery man did not handle my TV with care. I just wanted everyone who orders to know that.

VIZIO 47-Inch Class Full HD 3D Full Array TruLED with Smart Dimming LCD HDTV 480 Hz SPS mit VIZIO Internet Apps

UPDATE: 12-18-10

Just a few updates for my review here. One thing I did is add attributes for different aspects of this TV.

3D UPDATE

I got the new Amazon HDMI cable that supports 3D and is highspeed and the 3D effect is still the same. I think it works the best on Blu-Ray 3D movies. A Christmas Carol looks great and The Polar Express look really good. There still is some ghosting issues with them, although they have the least of it. I also have a PS3 and played Wipeout HD in 3D, which was ok, but still had lots of ghosting. Pacific Rift really did not look good at all in 3D though, lots of ghosting. I’m curious if it’s just that those games were converted and I’ll have to wait to get a game made for 3D to really get a great 3D game experience.

SOUND

When I was watching a Blu-ray on my PS3 I noticed some popping randomly during the movie. There are small, but still noticeable. I contacted Vizio and asked them what the best set up for sound through the TV would be. Their online chat is really helpful, really good service, and they told me what exactly to do. I think I still notice it sometimes, but overall I think it’s gone. I will update more on this since this could be a potential problem. I think I should be able to use all the settings on for this TV. My settings for anyone if they want to know are…

Both SRS settings off.

PCM for digital output.

Audio mode: Flat

Picture

Just a small thing to nit…

Ein hervorragendes Set!, April 6, 2009

Ich war unentschlossen zwischen diesen 2009 model and last year’s LN40A550.

Die Funktionen sind im Wesentlichen identisch, aber nach herauszufinden, dass der Unterschied zwischen besten Preise für die beiden, was ich konnte nach umfangreichen Einkaufsmöglichkeiten rund finden, war nur $50, Ich ging für neuere für seine aktualisierten Blick und leichter.

In den Bewertungen, einer der wichtigsten Beschwerden für 2008 war die Tonqualität. I can’t directly compare 2009 und 2008, but found 2009′s LN40B550 to have perfectly adequate, wenn nicht exzellente Referenten, so weit wie Fernseher gehen.

Bildqualität, Menüs, Setup eignen sich hervorragend als erwartet.

Ein Aspekt, ich fand rätselhaft ist Wiselink nicht in der Lage zu meinem alten vertrauenswürdig USB Flash Drive erkennen. Ich habe sogar versucht der Formatierung der Festplatte auf verschiedene Weise, leider keiner der Tricks gearbeitet.

Vielleicht, it’s the ancient drive not being comparable in some way, aber es hatte nie im Stich gelassen, bevor. Sowieso, Ich bestellte ein paar verschiedene Flash-Laufwerke, und versuchen Sie es erneut, und dann nach einem Update.

====================================

Versucht vier verschiedenen Flash-Laufwerke, sie alle gut funktionieren in Computern, alle vier frisch gleiche Weise formatiert (FAT32). Zwei der Laufwerke werden von der TV ohne Probleme lesen, the two others are not recognized at all… Go figure… Die Diashow-Funktion ist schön, sehr begrenzt, sondern macht den Job.

Nur für das Bezugsjahr, eines der Laufwerke, die Arbeit in diesem TV tut, ist Kingston Data Traveler 4GB.

Very, Very Pleased!, April 22, 2009

Only the second night with this set and I can’t unglue myself from it. This is a great sub-$1,000 set that will please all but the most hardcore videophiles. This set is also very light, I tucked it under my arm to move it up and down the stairs. ToC is subtle, almost invisible, so those who don’t care for last year’s ToC, don’t worry, you can barely see it the color on this TV. The swivel stand makes it easy so access the rear of the TV to hook up the cables that it makes you wonder why other manufacturers make stands without the swivel feature.

I had originally purchased an LG, but the off-angle viewing was awful, but from the same seating position, the Sammy shines. As with all LCDs, some color is lost when viewing from off-angle, but this set always displayed a picture that was acceptable.

If there’s a weakness, it’s displaying standard definition, as in regular cable, but that’s a challenge shared by most LCD screens. SD does not look as good as I’ve seen on some other LCDs, but the picture is more than acceptable.

DVD’s showed great… Upconverted DVD even better, I was impressed… Blu ray blew my mind. The color depth, the dark blacks, the crisp picture… I was VERY pleased. I am sure you will be too!

====================================================

Update 07/13/09… Almost 3 months and I’m still happy. Had it hooked up to a Samsung BDP2550 bluray player and it’s awesome. Currently using the upconverting Samsung 1080P9 DVD player and it’s still awesome. I have to sit closer than 7 feet to see any difference between DVD and bluray. Also connected to my PC via an 18ft HDMI cable, streaming Netflix and using Windows Media Center to view the NCIS and Star Trek episodes I have on my hard drive.

Still a GREAT purchase and I recommend this set to anyone interested in a 1080p LCD.

===================================================

Update 10/31/09… Hooked up a PS3 Slim last month and started viewing movies on Bluray… it’s like I got a new TV! I’ve never been able to see a substantial difference between DVD and BD, but after a few months of just DVD, Bluray on my 40B550 is blowing me away once more! I think I just picked up another habit… no more DVD purchases, only Bluray. And with prices going down on flat screens, this set is a bargain at $849.

Feature verpackt und wirklich gute Bildqualität für einen anständigen Preis, Mai 5, 2009

By

Byron Hooper (Bag, Maine) – See all my reviews

Ich hatte beäugte Upgrade auf einem HDTV irgendeiner Art für etwa drei Jahre. Ich hatte die Erforschung und träumt es die ganze Zeit. Samsung war immer auf der Spitze meiner Liste, und wenn sie kam mit diesem Modell, die hat eine Menge Funktionen für einen vergleichsweise günstigen Preis entschied ich mich schließlich den Sprung zu wagen.

Ich habe die meisten Grund Kabel-Service denkbar, so die meiste Zeit sichte ich SDTV (480in) stretched to 1920×1080. Angesichts dieser enormen Ausdehnung, es sieht gut aus. Es ist definitiv ein bisschen unscharf, it looks as good as any other 1080p TV I’ve seen. Ebenso, meine Wii ist ziemlich unscharf, wenn Sie sich nahe kommen, aber es sieht aus meiner Couch Geldbuße, besonders wenn ich aktiviert Progressive-Ausgang. The Wii isn’t trying to be a graphics powerhouse anyway.

Auf der anderen Seite ist mein DVD-Player. Es hat Component-Ausgang und ist dazu in der Lage 480p, und heilige Kuh sieht es genial! Nach dem Anschauen des SDTV und Wii, Ich war ein wenig besorgt meine DVDs wäre ebenso verschwommen, wenn ich eine Upscaling-Player aufgerüstet, sondern mit zunehmender Leistung, heilige Kuh, Ich glaube nicht, dass überhaupt nötig ist. Ich war sehr zufrieden, denn Filme ist, was ich tun die meisten.

Wie für HD-Bild, meine Optionen sind derzeit noch begrenzt, but I for some reason NBC does come in in 1080i over my plain non-digital cable and I also tested OTA HDTV and I’ve gotta say, es ist wunderschön. Also in meiner begrenzten Erfahrung, das HD-Bild auf dieser TV sieht fantastisch aus.

Mein Dell-Laptop verfügt über einen HDMI-Ausgang (Video und Audio) so habe ich beschlossen, schließen Sie ihn an der Seite HDMI-Anschluss am Fernsehgerät. Anfangs Art schrecklich aussah und ich musste viel Geigen. It still didn’t look right though. Nach Anhörung der manuellen, Ich entdeckte, dass Computer wirklich sollen auf HDMI angeschlossen werden 1. Der Wechsel zu, dass ich auch entdeckt, dass die Benennung des HDMI 1 Hafen “DVI-PC” es deaktiviert Audioeingang, so tragen, dass im Sinn. Einmal habe ich es bis rechts eingehakt obwohl, es ist fantastisch. Videos und Spiele gut aussehen und das Surfen im Internet mit einer kabellosen Maus und Tastatur ist genial.

Es gibt Unmengen von Video-Optionen und zwickt, so können Sie das TV perfekt aussehen, in welcher Umgebung sie ist. Ein weiteres großartiges Feature ist, dass Sie eine Digitalkamera oder ein USB-Speichergerät anschließen, um Bilder mit der vollen Auflösung von 480i alle gestreckt aus intead zeigen, wenn du es über Composite-Video. Es sieht gut aus, aber leider meine Canon Kamera verwendet PictBridge anstatt zu handeln wie ein USB-Massenspeichergerät, so I can’t do it. I’ve tested it with a USB Thumbdrive and it looks great though.

So, here’s a recap for the “Too Long; Didn’t Read” Menschenmenge:

+PROS+

+Great Price/Feature ratio

+Awesome HD Picture (as far as I’m concerned)

+Great DVD 480p picture

+Tons of Video Tweaking options

+USB

+Tons of Inputs

+Digital Audio Output

+Rotatable mount

%Neutrals%

%SDTV Picture is only OK

-Negatives-

-Auto Program takes FOREVER

-Front buttons are practically invisible… und daher praktisch unbrauchbar.

-No Picture-in-Picture at all

Wie Sie sehen können, Negative sind ziemlich Moll (Vielleicht mit Ausnahme der PIP für einige Menschen). All in all…. Ich liebe dieses dang TV!!

James Peterson “YMMV” (Savanne, GA) – See all my reviews

I’ve been a PC users since the PCXT days. Jetzt habe ich ein mac. Ich habe wirklich, wie einfach es ist, die mac Art, die Dinge zu lernen überrascht.

I’m a programmer by trade (nicht einen Desktop-Codierer, aber Mainframe / Datenbank) und ich eigentlich beschlossen, den iMac zu kaufen, weil mein Wunsch, Apps für mein iPhone erstellen. Ich war schockiert zu erfahren, dass ich meine Windows-Umgebung halten. Ich hätte zwei Welten.

Bisher, alles ist sehr einfach zu installieren und zu verwenden. Ich hatte das Fenster / vmware-Setup und dem iPhone SDK installieren Sie den ersten Tag. Aus einem PC, I’m delighted at how elegant the interface is, sogar die Maus und Tastatur sind elegant. Der Bildschirm ist sehr schön. Farben wirken sehr gut, but I haven’t done any photo editing and color correction/matching (so you’ll have to get the pros opinion on that one).

Windows runs very well on it and I’ve had no problems with it.

I can’t see changing back to a PC for my uses (nicht ein Gamer). Dieser iMac war der beste Wert IMO, compared to the other mac’s and macbooks. Auch der neue Mac mini im Vergleich (wenn Sie fügen in die zusätzlichen Kosten für einen guten Monitor, Bluetooth-Tastatur und Maus Magie, der Mini war beim Schließen auf dem iMac Preis). I’d recommend this iMac for any deveoper to use as a base system. Power seems more than sufficient add to that the capability to run windows as well and you have one of the best values in a development system I’ve seen.

All dies und Let's face it dem Mac Erfahrung ist sehr angenehm, and it doesn’t hurt to expand your development into the mac arena.

Nach einer Woche, I’m already a satified mac user.

I’ll update after a year or so of use and abuse.

Diese Version des iMac ist erstaunlich,.

Pro:

1 Dieser Computer ist schnell und schön sleek.Looks.

2 Kein Lärm des Lüfters oder so.If einem nahe gelegenen dort Augen,sie kann kaum sagen, ob es sunning.This ist nicht der Fall mit anderen ALLINONE Desktops i owned.Ex Dell Studio 15 macht mehr Lärm dann meine Küche Ventilator.

3 Die Hardware ist einfach genug für jeden thing.500GB HD ist PLUS.The RAM 4GB kaum genutzt.

4 Der Bildschirm ist beautiful.For einige Leute dem Bildschirm ist wie Spiegel und bekommt viele reflection.But für mich, ich liebe die Fernseher.Die Bildschirm kann leicht bewegt werden, wenn Sie irgendwelche reflection.The Hochglanz-Bildschirm immer macht der Blick mehr Spaß.

5 DIE LEOPORD Schnee sehr good.No Fragen so far.For PC-Benutzer es dauert etwas, während die shortcuts.But lernen, wenn sie es gewohnt sind, wird es sehr schnell zu etwas Zugang.

6 Die Maus war nie ein Problem für me.I bin so daran gewöhnt, vorwärts und rückwärts Einsatz auf der Web-Seiten mit dieser Maus,Wenn ich andere Maus meine Finger automatisch slide.One kann wirklich bewundere die Maus einmal bekommen sie benutzt, um es in paar Tagen.

7 Die Tastatur ist small.i würde gerne drahtlose Tastatur mit Ziffernblock haben.

8 Der Sound ist auf dieser Computer.Weitere gut ein Medium Zimmer, das ich denke, das ist mehr als genug.

CONS

1 Die Tastatur könnte etwas bedeuten better.i mit Ziffernblock und mehr F-Tasten.

2 es sollte eine feste Taste zum Auswerfen der DVD.When Ich war die Installation von Windows haben 7 Ich war mit der DVD.Couldnt steckte einen Weg finden, ohne das Laden OS auswerfen.

3 DVDs mit Papier Aufklebern stucks einige time.So vorsichtig sein, wenn Sie dem Einlegen einer DVD sind mit Klebeetiketten.

Insgesamt sehr zufrieden mit diesem Kauf.

Broken Logic Board in 2 months, April 18, 2010

By

T. Zee “tzee” (LOS ANGELES, CA, US) – See all my reviews

I bought the iMac in Feb 2010, and in April 2010 the iMac started freezing at random times. Finally, it wouldn’t even power on. I only installed Photoshop and Sophos Anti-virus onto the iMac. Thank goodness it was in the 1 year limited warranty period. Allerdings, I did a quick search and found that Apple has been having logic board problems for a long time. It was certainly a disappointment to find that my first mac failed in 2months!

On a second note, if you still really want to buy an iMac, consider buying it from the Apple store instead of Amazon. When I brought the product into the Apple Store, they told me that if I had bought it there, they would just give me a new one. Allerdings, since it was purchased from Amazon, they would have to send it in for repairs and replacement parts (which may or may not be refurbished parts).
