Got it free with my new TV, July 1, 2011
By John R. Broumas "Jhon" (The Shore)
This came free when I bought my new Samsung TV. It works as expected. It is not wireless, but my house is wired. The 3-D is great. The interface is a bit slow and AllShare software is lacking, but the player works good.


Aaaarrrrgh!! the captain and crew likes it, June 24, 2011
By Captain Deaf Dumb and Bligh
I can only compare it to my Panasonic DVD player that I connected to my Panasonic 60-inch LCD rear projection TV. All I can say is wow, I connected the Samsung BD-D5500 3D for my new Samsung 59" 3D plasma TV. the colors are sharper and brighter than the first officer I can not keep it to ourselves. The crew continues to themselves more attractive to a movie. The 3D is pretty good. Although there are so few good movies bluray 3D available and are too expensive, Samsung BD-D5500C 3D Blu-ray with HDMI Cablebut I expect to have this configuration for years. so I was put on the future of cinema at the time. Anaglyph 3D movies are not even barely watchable. Do not know why I even left out.

    Ipod Nano Accessories - protection, ipod nano watch


    Click here for more information     Very nice case/band. I was looking around for something exactly like this. Something that wasn't just another strap of fabric or material of some sort that anybody can put together. This actually protects my nano as well as sets it nicely as a watch. Somebody finally got it right. Another bonus is since its silicone and wraps around the unit if I get caught out in a mild shower the nano will be somewhat water resistant(don't recommend trying). Silicone Protective Wrist Watch Band for Apple iPod Nano (6th Gen.) - Black

    Great item for my Nano! I find it to be very comfortable and unlike others on the market, it helps protect my Nano. I receive compliments on it all the time and makes for a great conversation piece. Perfect for my long hikes and bike trips.

    I was looking for a "watchband" for my wife's iPod Nano and came across this one amongst many others. She loves the feel of the Silicone material and the look. With shipping it was less than $20.00! A bargain! Only con is the necessity to remove the Nano for charging or computer hook up.

    Unfortunately, I decided to first try my luck with some of these $3 products on

    Amazon. That was a mistake, totally didnt fit the nano properly. I tried my

    luck with this one and am very pleased. I use this for my exercising mainly but

    also looks nice if i go out with it on. Probably best thing about it is that I

    wear my watch on the right hand and this watch band takes us right handers into

    consideration! A lot of wrist watches have the headphones coming out the left

    or right side of the watch. If you are right handed it wont work well because

    the cord comes out the left side of the watch and lays over the nano face!

    Just got my Nanotch watch band and even though the delay was quite long, I definitely would reccommend it! I love to go running with it and use it at the gym. Also, I like how it protects the nano too, not just hold it like the others I saw. For me, it was worth the wait. Already had a few people ask what it was.

    Pretty good product that does the job well. It is obvious that it was designed for this specific iPod item. It is the right size with the right push buttons and holes that corresponds with the iPod. The iPod sits secure in it.

    I ordered this for my 8 year old and she likes it.



    PROS: The color matches the picture exactly and it's made with really thick silicone. The case fits the nano snug but still allows it to be removed without much effort. The silicone is also very flexible but will not tear easily because of its thickness. It will also provide ample cushioning if the nano is dropped. The buttons are covered but are still easy to use/identify while in the case. The headphone jack is also easily accessible.



    CONS: It doesn't have an opening for the charging cable. What that means is each time you want to charge or load more songs on your nano you'll have to remove it from the case. This may not be a big deal for some but my daughter and I thought it would be more functional if the nano could be charged while its still in the case. So I cut out a hole the size of the charging cable. Problem solved but this would have been much better if it was originally designed this way.



    Overall: Good design and excellent material. Only gave it four stars because I didn't like the idea of having to remove the nano from the case every time it needed to be charged.

    While I like the fact that it holds the ipod better than my Belkin and it looks more like a watch. The color I received is not the color pictured. It's more of a army green than a neon/lime. Not really flattering to a female's wrist.

    I had been in the market for a wristband for my Nano and had purchased two other sub-par products before finding this one. Product is extremely durable, while also providing a comfortable fit. Have now made a repeat purchase for my wife. If you are looking for a protective wristband for your Nano that is durable, comfortable and stylish, look no further. - Protection - Ipod Nano Watch - Ipod Nano Case - Ipod Nano Armband

    Screen Protector - mirrored, screen protector


    Click here for more information     After installing the screen, which went on easily without bubbles, I realized the "mirror" polarized the screen making the colors look horrible. The screen also smudges and smeers easily and cleaning it is a bigger pain than what it's worth. HTC ThunderBolt Mirror Reflect Screen Protector ( 3 Pack )

    I bought a few different kinds of screen protectors for the Thunderbolt, this being one of them. Its a neat idea...but the glare on it is ridiculous. If you plan on using your phone outside for anything more than a mirror its impossible, you have to find some shade to make out even the slightest thing. Also it smudges and gets fingerprints on it that arent the easiest to get off, short of windex.

    They don't adhere to the screen very well, and the ends and edges keep peeling back. I put on another one hoping it would stay, and the edges are lifting up again. Wait for the Amzer product, I've had many screen protectors from them with no issues with application, and peeling back. - Mirrored - Screen Protector - Thunderbolt

    Description from manufactory

    Samsung new active 3D glasses are the gateway to Samsung 3D entertainment. Impressive for the way they work and what you can discover the technology works as follows: when you put on and watch the screen, the first technology to block the lens left and right. It happens faster than the blink of an eye - so that the eye is not known. But when the images are displayed to each eye separately this "staggered" gotten a lot more realistic 3D images.

    Reviews

    I recently had with a Samsung TV as a 3D shoot-I bought some furniture. In all, I had the TV (50 inch Samsung Plasma 3D 720) a Sony Blu-Ray 3D glasses, 3D IMAX movie and a monster cable thrown in free for the purchase of approximately 3K value of the furniture. This TV and glasses are closed, the case for me. They demo it to the store and hit the image and effects. I was out to get a turtle that was in the store that seems to come from the screen. We got the house and tried the glasses and everything was fine. Always return to their bag after use and I plan to keep spare batteries.

    These are battery-operated glasses, not the more expensive rechargeable ones, and they are compatible primarily with Samsung technology, although I understand that some brands may also support these. The real question facing Samsung owners is whether to buy the battery-operated or the rechargeable sets. Obviously, I chose the battery-operated kind because the batteries (CR 2025) are relatively cheap and because I don't expect to use the 3D feature more than once a week. Still, I have to have extra batteries on hand in case a pair conks out in the middle of viewing.

    The glasses are fairly comfortable, although the shutter effect can be annoying at the corners, especially in a lit room. The directions say that fluorescent bulbs can cause visual stuttering, but I found that even sunlight creates a peripheral flicker. The 3D effect is stunning; the larger screen TV you have, the better, since everything gets funneled in and out of the frame. For this reason, even with a 55" TV, you won't get the same all-encompassing 3D effect that you would in the theater. But still, true 3D Blu-Ray can be breathtaking. Yes, you'll look just as dorky, but so will everyone else in the room. The glasses fit over regular eyeglasses, although I find that if I do this, my eye strain is slightly increased.

    To operate, simply start up your Blu-ray player or switch your TV to 3D, and the set will ask you to push the button in near the hinge. Make sure that nothing obstructs the IR sensor, or the glasses won't be picked up. They shut off automatically when the TV isn't displaying 3D or when out of range for several seconds. They don't turn on unless the TV recognizes them.

    These shutter-style glasses work. Your eyes may feel slightly off-kilter when you stop watching; however, mine recover in a few minutes. Given the price and of these, I recommend keeping them out of reach of the kids when not in use. (Samsung also makes a kid version which is smaller, but it doesn't necessarily mean that they are tougher.) The price is the biggest drawback, especially since most people will want at least four pairs on hand.

      Screen Protectors - htc, terrible


      Click here for more information       After reading all 23 reviews (at the time of this posting) I have come to this conclusion: If you are stupid, impatient, or cannot follow directions then do not buy this product. It (i.e. you) will fail and then post an unnecessary negative review of an otherwise great product MADE IN THE USA.



      To be simple if you follow ALL the directs exactly (wash your hands, take out the battery, etc.) you will come away with the BEST screen protector you have ever seen. I did just that and I must say that this product is was worth every penny. I put it on my new Inspire and I was worried that it would blemish a great touch screen phone (dust, bubbles) and reduce its responsiveness. But to my pleasant surprise after following the directions to a T (including waiting 24 hours) I can't even tell the thing is on there. The only time I can that it is there is when the phone is off and I hold it just at the right angle to see one small wrinkle, and this still may go away within the next few days.



      This tip may help those who buy. I discovered it accidentally.



      After washing my hands well I used Bounty paper towels to dry them (about 3 full towels). In doing so I made a very slightly damp cloth. I used it to clean my screen prior to applying the skin. I think the mix between the quality of the towel and its slight dampness allowed me to get my screen lent free prior to application. I have had many phones (and many skins) but every time I end up with at least one to two places where there is trapped dust or a bubble. Not this time!



      Also, I highly recommend taking out the battery so you can apply the solution liberally to your fingers and both sides of the skin. I did this and used the paper towels I had in the process to soak up excess once I began to align it and get the major bubbles out. I then waited about 20 hours prior to placing the battery back in.



      Bottom line: If you are meticulous like I am, and pay attention to details, then you will be very happy with this product. Skinomi TechSkin - Screen Protector Shield for HTC Inspire 4G

      When I received this screen protector, I, too, was taken by surprise by the installation process. To make sure that I understood correctly, I checked out a how-to video on-line. Yep, they really meant for me to spray my fingers and both sides of the screen protector with the spray that was included in the box. Very strange. I followed the instructions exactly. When I was done, I had a cloudy mess with streaks under the shield. I was worried! But I waited overnight (I did the installation right before I went to bed). When I woke up, most of the cloudiness was gone. By the end of the 24-hour period, it dried clear and I could only tell that I had the shield on my phone by very close examination. The only tell-tale signs are the edges where there is a very slight rippling. This is only visible from an angle in the right light. Maybe I'm picky, but the ripples are the reason I'm only giving this product 4 stars.



      This shield does not interfere with the operation of my touch screen or the visibility at all. Before I installed the shield, I had a constant problem with fingerprints and smudges on my screen. This shield seems to have minimized that problem. I am very relieved to have a screen protector shield on my phone to prevent scratches/damage to the original screen. I'm eager to see how it will fare with daily use.

      Bought the screen protector with not much hope , but it turned out to be the best screen protector I've ever purchased. The product directions are great, product installation was easy, and best of all it looks good.



      Unlike most other screen protectors, the wetting of the product allows you plenty of time to adjust the protector so it sits exactly how you want it. Simply use the spray that comes with the product and spray sparingly, i let most of the water drip - the screen protector would still have enough moisture to do the job and your phone wouldn't be soaked. Highly recommended!!!

      The product is not all win. I went step by step, finding everything to be set and straight as I wanted with a little bit of cloud on the screen. All fine and dandy, I let it sit for a day.(I did it mid afternoon and turned it on mid afternoon.) I find that my phone no longer wishes to turn on. Attempting to charge the phone to double check and searching all websites/forums that I could find on such matters(Skinomi website being the least helpful of all except for the "Not responsible for damage caused by user".) I take it to the AT&T store to find their deduction that the phone was damaged by this process and would need to be replaced. Thankfully, due to the 5 dollar a month insurance I purchased, my phone was replaced.



      BOTTOM LINE(aka TLDR): In my opinion unless you have the extra dough to bust out on the insurance, don't chance your new HTC inspire in the hands of some small time, ignore its own faults, responsibility denying company; take the easy road and buy a dry screen cover that will offer the same protection but not have the underlying risk of spraying your phone with a liquid to make the adjustment easier.



      TLDR the TLDR: Don't buy, get a dry protector, liquids=bad for phone and there is an inherent risk in using this process. - Htc - Terrible - Great Product - Horrible

      I had a TV in 3D week. It excellent and very good (in my case it is better, but are equipped with a TV above the fireplace almost 6 feet tall with 15 degrees of tilt, but always ghosts). Intuitive user interface with applications. 3D Glass as the cheap (they have 4 children ..?), The distance is phenomenal, but it should be backlit, as well.The sliding keyboard is great and is based Bluetooth is convenient. control of other components very well. a complaint, 18 mm M8 1.25pitch needed to hang the TV on the wall are not included with TV ?????( for 3000 dollars!) had to run to Lowest to buy them. the speakers are decent. 3D could be better seen from the front. Passive resolution of 576 lines for each eye, is not as smooth as an active search in 3D, but the tradeoff for the glasses was worth it in my case, most glasses are much lighter and not have to worry about recharging.

      So you know where I am, I am replacing a 50" Samsung plasma. I have a series of flat screens of different sizes at home and a home theater in the basement. I just received my 720p projector Mitsy replaced by a Sony (STR-DA3600ES) and Avatar by Blu-Ray blown (108 "screen). I consider myself a fan, but not an expert. However, so ... Out of the Box Experience - Fantastic. The box is beautiful, the above instructions will tell you how easy it is (for example, a large TV) undo the clip and the sleeve of the box-offs.

      Set up - could not be easier. Quick Start Guide is accurate. Manual is in English only, and not seven languages, and is clearly written, some Chinese computer is not converted. I could not remote to control the Vizio, but the DirecTV box. I think you should try a code. It's not great. The get. (Edit: Thanks to AVS Forum, someone noted that the receiver must be set to play RF remote control mode that I've changed to IR, and voila, all right, I had to prove "following code" to get up to standard. 4.. All games). Fortunately, my 2-year receiver is ready 3D - HR21-700. DirecTV has just said "to connect the receiver will guide you through the installation once it recognizes the 3D TV. Wrong, at least for me, but a reboot of the receiver and I was up and running.

      2D-HD - I started with in Kill Bill 2 TNTHD and it looked great. Some HD is better than others, not by chance. For example, 30 Rock should use some type of slow softening. Apple TV (720p) - YouTube seems a bit '"better than I expected from Apple's catalog of films, previews of 300 and The Bucket List was beautiful stream Netflix is ​​a pretty sight .. on my 50" Sammy a good thing, and photos of Mobile Me through my iPhone was beautiful 3D DirecTV -.. Step n3D, I realize that now is very similar to the Cuban HDNet label is back in the early days of HD. This is where you should go for the first impression of pleasure. Many pan content / nature. immediately striking.

        I will keep this short and sweet. My wife bought a combo drive TV/Blu-Ray, and this was part of it. This player does everything I need to do. The thing I like most is the loading time. Blu-Ray made the charge in due course. It plays DVDs and CDs is beautiful and is DLNA is a great bonus. We can play any of our movies and music directly from our NAS. The fact that you can also download applications is a nice bonus ... Pandora and Netflix, even if we use this day gives you the freedom to develop and for people who use services like Slacker have not only stuck with Pandora, as with the older players.

        Bottom line, the load times faster in 3D (if you bought the trick), scalability, AC/Internet, the quality of picture and sound incredible. My only complaint is the sensitivity of the keys on the front. It seems that all you have to do is jump and press a button. We have had this player for about 3 months and the only thing I can complain.

        With a control panel touch screen, slim, Samsung Apps, and the ability to play all DVD formats and CD player that Samsung is better than an entry-level 3D for consumers who want the latest technology without a premium. Even if you do not have access (see the Samsung BD-C6800 3D Blu-ray player for less than 3D Samsung ago), can be directly connected to the system via Ethernet / LAN or using the adapter LinkStick Samsung. (Later). DVDs load fairly quickly, and the output is clean with little noise from the machine, unlike the first Samsung Blu-ray. The touch controls are great, but can take some getting used to, because I used to press the keys - and that player does not move slightly out of position.
        LAN, Wireless USB Adapter for Samsung or flash drive, a HDMI port, two output channels; Samsung apps/Internet TV (it must be connected to broadband at home), and, of course, the 3D game. It should not: 5.1 or 7.1 audio output (receiver channels through a 7.1, so I do not care), an extra HDMI port, internal memory, built-in wireless. For these features, you must go to the drive line Samsung 3D. The remote is unexcusably embarrassing, but the good news is that TV remote elegant 3D you can use the Samsung BD player, so you can set aside, nothing more.
        If you want your applications and Internet TV on your Samsung home theater system (Netflix, Pandora, Hulu Plus, YouTube, Facebook, etc.), connect to your home network. Why Samsung did not say "low end" 3D TV with built-in Wi-Fi and why this player does not have Wi-Fi, there are several alternatives. If you buy a Samsung LinkStick wireless adapter, you can use the TV most of the time, then go to your Blu-ray or BD Live updates 3D Wireless Samsung 3D TV is equipped with all the TV and Internet applications that player. You can also connect the Blu-ray player via a LAN cable to a game adapter or other wireless network extender. You can connect the drive directly via LAN / Ethernet cable to the router, if the two are close. Or you can skip that player and instead go to the next model. that could cost less than the price of a LinkStick.
        You will need a player to play Blu-ray 3D 3D 3D TV, and that player is a great option. Sometimes, it is proposed as part of a promotion, so many people who could have paid extra for the end of the Wi-Fi with that place. Do not worry. It 'a great player, and issues - such as Wi-Fi and reading problems in two channels - can be overcome with minimal effort. This is the best player from Samsung offers? No "worth the price? Absolutely. It works like other online players, but without the additional 3D functions. Even if you do not already have a 3D TV, this unit offers enough to consider it.
