Walmart Refurbished TV Samsung UN40H5203 40-Inch 1080p 60Hz Smart LED TV


http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K4UIOA4/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00K4UIOA4&linkCode=as2&tag=tvchoy-20&linkId=3ZB5NUQDUFKUSZJN

Walmart Refurbished TV

Samsung makes great TV's that surpass every other manufacturer in their class. I have two Samsung's in my house and I can tell you the image is beautiful. This TV has an LED screen and in my opinion this the way to go (LED is similar to LCD its back-lit better so that they are no dark spots on the screen).

Now add in that this TV can directly connect to the internet and I'm sold. TV's of this class have never been cheaper.

One thing that I have found with TV's that its very important to actually look at the TV in person. Now when you look at the TV's, go to a place like Walmart to see them, because many times specialty stores like Best Buy play with the lighting controls on the TV and in the store to skew the image to there advantage. Once you look at the TV simply look and decide which one looks better to you.

The next step to take into consideration is features. Here are a few that come with this TV:

This Samsung comes with Auto Volume which automatically adjusts the volume of the desired channel, lowering the sound output when the modulation signal is high or raising the sound output when the modulation signal is low. This reduces the difference in volume when changing channels. The Auto Volume feature can be set to Normal, Night or Off.

As far as outputs most of these TV's will come with more than enough Inputs and Outputs. This TV comes with 4 HDMI Audio/Video In, 1 Ethernet LAN In/Out, 1 RCA Component Audio/Video In amd 1 Digital Coaxial Audio Out.

Next thing when shopping for a TV is in box technology. Here are some of the features of this TV:

With this Smart HDTV there is a full web browser with WiFi built-in apps made for TV. Some of the apps this TV features is Hulu Plus, YouTube, Netflix, Facebook, and Twitter. Browse the web while you watch movies and TV shows, and enjoy TV while you chat with friends and family online, all on one screen with this Samsung.

Thank you for reading my review, if you have any questions feel free to email me, I would be happy to help you with any questions you have.

InStyler Tulip Auto Curler As Seen On TV Hair Curler


http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OA431J4/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00OA431J4&linkCode=as2&tag=tvchoy-20&linkId=6THGUTEDMI5JX746

As Seen On TV Hair Curler

Bought this item thinking that i would work since i saw someone review it on youtube. It seemed like it was working pretty well. I gave it a shot and the first 5 curls were beautiful. I have dark brown hair that is relatively thick and down to the middle of my back. so i put the settings on it for dark and thick hair. After a couple of curls, my hair got tangled. The machine stopped and i was able to pull the curler away it scared me a little but i thought it was a good thing that the curler stopped. I kept going with my hair and got to another strand where it got stuck. This time i wasn't able to pull my hair free. The machine was BURING MY HAIR (i could smell it and see the smoke!) and i literally had to RIP the machine out and gave that strand about a 3 inch trim. Not only that but it completely damaged that strand. It now looks like one of those Brillo pads and smells completely burned. I love my hair enough to know that cannot be fixed. This happened to about 3 more strands after this one too. I didn't want to chance the rest of my hair so I returned the item. I don't know if it was because my hair is somewhat long but, if you want to damage your hair or spend time yanking it out then go for it

Just got mine yesterday and was skeptical. I have to be honest here. Love love love! It is absolutely amazing! Not only does it make beautiful and perfect curls but they last all day and are so soft and shiny! I am so satisfied with this purchase. This isn't a fake post or whatever. This thing really really does work! 

Curling my hair just became effortless! I'm in love with this product because it curls my hair quickly, effectively, and safely. More importantly, I don't have to worry about burning myself like I would with a traditional curing iron or wand. The cord is extra long, so you have plenty of room to maneuver in front of the mirror. The Tulip also comes with a handy users' manual and style guide to help you figure out which settings is most appropriate for your hair-type and desired style, and (bonus!) it includes a little measuring clip so you don't put too much hair in and tangle your locks in the curling chamber. I've been reading some super negative reviews, so I hope the following tips will help out:

1. Do pay close attention to how much hair you curl at one time. Follow Tulip's directions to the letter so your curls come out right the first time.
2. Do thoroughly dry and section your hair as much as possible to make the curling process go quickly.
3. Do use a fine-tooth comb to de-tangle and smooth your hair just before inserting a section into the curler.
4. Don't overload the curling chamber, and don't load your hair incorrectly or allow stray hairs to be drawn in during the curling process.

And that's it! I went from curling my hair in 30-45 minutes to 10-15 minutes in a matter of days!

Product Details : 
  • Open ceramic barrel designed with anti-tangle technology
  • 2-way rotation with 3 rotation settings to curl left, curl right or alternate
  • 3 heat settings range from 350 to 430 degrees Fahrenheit to accommodate all hair types
  • 3 timer settings to achieve a variety of looks from beachy waves to tight striking curls
  • Safety guard for burn-free styling

My Favorite Martian TV Show- The Complete First Season


http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002T7YYO/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0002T7YYO&linkCode=as2&tag=tvchoy-20&linkId=LOFWBFJT7EMDFI5Y

My Favorite Martian TV Show

Okay, first, I have to admit that I haven't made it through all 37 shows in this set, so all I can say about the transfers is....so far, they are excellent. Other non-studio companies packaging television programs would learn a lot to follow the lead of Rhino. They include all intro and outro sequences, and are the full program, as originally broadcast.

The one thing that distracts from this being a 5 star set is the packaging. This is the worst packaging job I have seen yet of a season set. The single DVD plastic keep-case, with a hinged 2-DVD insert is just plain cheap. Not only that, it promotes the damage of the discs...including the fact that one of the dual-sided discs rests on the mount for the third disk (which is stored on the back flap of the case).

The insert is a simple cardboard one....no booklet detailing the different episodes, or giving any additional information. Just a list of the shows.

Also, a menu of the episode selections would have been greatly appreciated. The only choices on the main menu are "Play All" and "Scene Selections". In order to choose an episode, you must page through the "Scene Selections" and choose the beginning scene of the desired episode.

Another note....when an episode concludes, the viewer is not sent back to the menu, but instead, the next episode starts playing.

Rhino really gets an "A" for releasing this show, and for it's video transfers (not only the quality, but that they are in their entirety).

Unfortunately, they are prevented from getting 5 stars by their poor menu programming, and the packaging which doesn't protect the disks.

Still, if you are a fan of classic TV, this set is still well recommended.

Street Legal UTV

I installed this kit in my Honda side x side and it works great - it took a while to do and one needs to be familiar with 12v dc electrics - I did not like the 'button' lights that came with the kit and opted to purchase some larger lights to install - the kit came with all necessary parts, although I again elected to solder and heat shrink connections - the end result is I have a street legal machine with working turn signals and a horn - well worth the money - I only gave four (4) stars since I purchased different lights, I feel that larger lights should have been offered.

Very happy with purchase! Came with all parts needed and easy to follow directions. Took me 3 hours to install (I am quite handy and mechanical). Everything works great. Turn signals are manual and lights could be bigger. A lot of bang for the buck tho.

Wiseguy TV Show: The Collector's Edition (Seasons 1- 4)


http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0030VANJO/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0030VANJO&linkCode=as2&tag=tvchoy-20&linkId=N4Y44SFC2XYO6XG6

Wiseguy TV Show

When Wiseguy originally came out on DVD, I was excited beyond words to finally see my favorite tv show of all time after so long. Right before I went to the store I decided to check Amazon for reviews, which is where I discovered the most climactic scene out of the entire series had been massacred. Any other episode I might understand, but for the studio to care so little about the show to not pony up the extra dough to keep "Nights in White Satin" in the final scene told me a lot about not only how much they care about the profit margin, but also how little they care about the fans. To me it's the same thing as taking John William's music out of the final Death Star scene in the original Star Wars movie. At that moment I refused to buy any Wiseguy DVDs, from any season.

Years later I hear about this collector's edition coming out, and again I get potentially excited..until the announcement comes out that's it's not a collector's edition at all, just a repackaging of the previous releases. I can at least understand the Dead Dog Records arc because of the sheer number of songs and the editing issues, but one song in what most fans consider the most poignant and emotional scene of the series?

Great job to the studio and Mr. Cannell. After all these years you still know how to put the screws to the fans. I guess it's time to find some old VHS copies and convert them to digital format.

The Dresden Files TV Show: Season 1


http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000QUEQ4U/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000QUEQ4U&linkCode=as2&tag=tvchoy-20&linkId=WSCRPL5Z2X2JZFMH

The Dresden Files TV Show

After Buffy went off the air, and then Charmed, I despaired of finding a supernatural show with quality writing and great plots. My prayers were answered by the Scifi network with this awesome show.

I was already a fan of the book series and this show does an excellent job of adapting the stories written by Jim Butcher. Like in Charmed, magic exists but regular people don't know about it. Harry Dresden is the only Wizard P.I. in the phone book. Most think he's a crack pot, but some know he is their only hope. He works as a consultant to the police via Det. Murphy on those cases considered bizarre. Along the way there are werewolf serial killers, vampire club owners, and innocents that need to be protected.

The show doesn't overdo the special effects, rather using them less frequently but with greater impact. Which is actually in keeping with the books. Harry is faithfully recreated and played by Paul Blackstone. And then there is Bob. The portrayal of Bob is one of those rare instances where a book character has been drastically changed, but in a good way. In the books he is an incorporeal spirit residing in a skull. This is fine in the books where a reader's imagination is boosting the concept, but would not translate well to TV. Producers cleverly decided to make him a human-looking ghost with a dry wit and snappy dialog. They did it so well, Bob quickly became my favorite character!

If you like fantasy or scifi shows, get the Dresden Files. And when you can't get enough of Harry, get the books.

Entertainment Centers For Flat Screen TVS Prepac Altus Wall Mounted Audio/Video Console, Black


http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0054ZSK30/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0054ZSK30&linkCode=as2&tag=tvchoy-20&linkId=YJ6CUWTVMO4UQSBY

Entertainment Centers For Flat Screen TVS

This is a wonderful console to place under your wall mounted flat screen TV. I was looking for something that would get the TV/DVD/Cable wires up off the floor and hidden. This console does this beautifully. However, be prepared to have some time on your hands in order to mount this on the wall. My husband had the kit opened and was ready to put it up, when he realized there were no mounting screws. The directions did state that they were not included, but there were no guidelines as to what type to buy, etc. So, after a trip to the local Lowe's, the correct mounting equipment was purchased and he was ready to do the job. Everything went fairly well, although it was a bit trickly getting the holes drilled in the back of the unit. It's up now and is really solid. Very attractive unit, just time-consuming and tricky in some ways to put up. Also, we called the Prepac Helpline, asking if there was a kit with the mounting materials. All they could tell us was that there wasn't a kit and they referred us back to the seller for information. Anyway, they weren't much help.

We just got a new 60" TV that I wall mounted, I first tried the Mount-IT three tier glass shelves but the center of our TV (where you mount them) was only dry wall. We used the anchors as per the directions but after seeing the wall flexing and having one of the screw type anchors start to come lose I took it down immediately and started looking for a new entertainment center. My wife and I really wanted the floating look to go with the TV since the wires are ran down through the wall but wanted something that mounted to studs.

Install: we have 24" studs where the TV is mounted, the wall mount is mounted off center and the TV sits on it to the right a bit for where we wanted it on the wall so we were only able to span two Studs. For the support brace one 5/16 lag is 7" from the left hand side and one 24" from that, this left 15" on the right unsecured. While I was comfortable the two studs would hold the weight I used a 3/16 toggle a few inches from the right side just to keep it tight to the wall and for peace of mind. I mounted a powerstrip to the inside compartment wall with two short self tapping wood screws and really took my time on the wiring routing (we crammed a lot of equipment into this thing). We have it mounted on the wall so the back compartment covers the wall outlet, cable outlet, and outlet for the TV wires. While it is lower than some of the user pictures on here having it completely cover all wires from every angle it really gives a true "floating theater" feel to the room.

For the one reviewer who gave this a one star rating because they had to remove the unit each time they had to unplug something, in reality how often is that? I can reach the powerstrip switch from the bottom access hole. If you are worried about having to remove it frequently and still want the primary unit mounted to the wall here is what I did. Use a 3/8-16 x 4" Coarse/Standard Steel Plain Hanger Bolt from Home Depot which screws into the stud and leaves a threaded tip for a nut/washer. You will need to use a dremmel tool or similar to cut out an oval shape in the back to allow the up/down sliding motion needed to remove it over the lip of the support bracket but it works perfect, a few quick turns with a socket and the nut comes off, lift 1/2" and pull it out. Simple. Sure, it takes some extra work and maybe they could incorporate such a feature in the future but that is no reason to rate this outstanding entertainment center a one star.

My only con is the lack of hardware included. Sure this gives you the flexibility to mount it to your application as you see fit, but lets face it, a lot of people are that that 'handy'. They really should include a kit for installation, even if just a basic one. Heck, any wall mount TV bracket comes with all the hardware you would ever needed for any type of installation. I spent a total of ~$10 on hardware to install this.

Insignia 32 Inch TV Class (31-1/2" Diag.) - LCD - 720p 60hz - Hdtv


http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EW0TA5A/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00EW0TA5A&linkCode=as2&tag=tvchoy-20&linkId=5KXFSDQ6HIX6FB2S

Insignia 32 Inch TV

Wow this is awsome. I had this tv for 20 days and i love every second of it. Im comming from a big giant 19inch box tv that my parent had in 1999 and was passed on to me. Big big big diffrence in color and type of tv. Insignia is a O.k kind of brand.. My cuosins owns a insignia Tv 19inch flat screen. Only last him less then 4yrs. I think thats good enogh for me for a nice name brand.. I went to bestbuy store in my city and they had this tv for sell on sell that day for $179.99 wow what a price. plus I got the geek squad 2yr warranty for $24.99 .. So if anything happens to the tv bestbuy will fix it or replace it within the 2yr warranty. Witch I don't care because after two years I plan on upgrading to a known name brand. So this is Very nice and big lliterly. The color is un believable or maybe its becuse its my first KIND of TV. And then i went to buy the PS3 bundle at gamestop and it was a deal. My new ps3 with HDMi cable connected to this tv looks so real. You can see every detail on the body of the person In the game. Well not only that but it also gets digital Tv anolog over the air antenna. I get 68 channels and thats perfect because I can't afford cable, but wow you can see every single detail on the face of news casters on tv, the news people are very wrinkled and sweaty faces, lol very big flat screen with amazing HD picture and the volume on this is perfect very loud. Tv is very light and when I move around the room I can still see the tv on good color. Some other tv gets there color darken when seen from the rear sides but with this insignia tv there is no problem.

I bought this for my daughter, but ended up with it when she found she decided she wanted a wall projector instead. So I have it on my boat on SF Bay for nights I sleep at the marina, and this TV rocks. Yes, it was way less expensive than a major...I have a 32 Panasonic in my mancave at home...but the picture on the Insignia is outstanding, and the on screen menu is far easier to cope with than other sets I have had. Using only a rabbit ears, I pull in about 50 digital channels and they all look great. For the price, this set is spectacular. And despite the marine environment...I lay it down in the V berth when sailing...it has held up well, better than the small curtis 15 I was using before this. You cannot go wrong at this price. I compares well...or beats...name brands I have had, particularly a samsung 32 LCD that lasted a year before it burned out. Get this!

This tv is awesome. Sound quality and image quality is amazing. Couldn't ask for more. Good for gaming, sport mad anything u wanna watch. It's big and cheap and last long. Awesome tv. Don't underestimate it because it's not sony, samsung or any top brands. It gets the job done like all other tv.

Who Makes Seiki TV LC55TD5 LC55TD5 55 120Hz 1080p LCD TV


http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004KZFNRQ/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B004KZFNRQ&linkCode=as2&tag=tvchoy-20&linkId=YFNJHFZFS7RZCX3F

Who Makes Seiki TV

I went to Best Buy and hhgregg looking for a new television about a month ago. After reading many reviews on a few different televisions I had in my mind I narrowed it down to LG or SONY. I had 42" LG before, a 32" SONY in my bedroom and I had a roommate that uses a 50+? inch VIZIO--then I saw the SEIKI. I had never heard of the brand before and asked the people at the different stores about it and read some reviews on my phone while at the store. SEIKI 55inch LCD 1080p 120hz for $699.99...seemed a little off to me. But after reading many reviews and talking to some people I went ahead and took a risk with it. Note* I am def. not one to go off-brand with electronics.* I went ahead an purchased a 5yr warranty plan with it to be safe; SO IF THE PICTURE QUALITY or TV IS NOT TO MY STANDARDS or BREAKS WITHIN 5 YEARS I GET A NEW ONE OR THE MONEY BACK. I have heard and read that SEIKI and LG are connected somehow and that LG parts are used with SEIKI televisions, so that was a plus to hear..whether how true those statements are.

Looking at the display at the store; LG, SEIKI and SONY all right beside each other (LCDs) I could not see a difference. The TV was VERY WELL packaged, lots of Styrofoam and protective coverings. The weight was about 93 lbs, too me, not too bad. I was able to handle it myself..I had too. It hooked up very easily, came with all the necessary cables and even an HDMI cable of pretty good quality.

The remote is nothing fancy, pretty bland, but it has everything you need on it to operate your TV. The menus are easy to get around and understand. The factory settings on the picture settings were pretty good. I tweaked mine to my preference as any TV I own. The sound from the TV is also pretty good, better than my LG. But obv. a good home theater system is going to be better.

I have noticed nothing that I do not like from this TV, after my first 2 months of owning it, besides the remote. My cable box synced up with the TV right away. The picture quality is great with the HD cable, LG Bluray and my XBOX 360. I see no problems or negative differences than what is with my LG or SONY. (Besides some different options;ex SONY has more HDMI ports, etc.) I always use the latest HIGH SPEED HDMI CABLES available also, no problems with connection/loss of picture. There is NO internet access with this TV but that is not a concern of mine while I use my 360 or Bluray to access what I'd need with the TV and have a laptop and desktop computer for the more important things.

I truly believe this is a good to great TV for the brand and the price. Depending on what you are looking for in your TV should depend on what you want to buy. Other TVs may have more options in different areas, you may want an LED or 3D televison..but this is perfect for me. VIZIO started out similar with low-priced sets with good quality that greatly improved over that last couple years and I feel Seiki is going the same route.

I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a TV right now, nor pay for an LED or 3D. LEDs will drop in price over the next couple years and the LCD isn't really a big picture difference to me and for what I NEED.

I DO recommend this TV. I love it and I am VERY impressed thus far with the quality and picture of my purchase. If you don't want to buy an off-brand, it's understandable, but know you can get a lemon from any other manufacturer just as well. As was my first LG set, but they did replace.

I hope this review helps those who read it.

Superwinch 1145230 Terra 45 4500lbs/2046kg Warn ATV Winch single line pull with hawse, handlebar mnt toggle, handheld remote, and synthetic rope


http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003COQAKA/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B003COQAKA&linkCode=as2&tag=tvchoy-20&linkId=J4XUHES2R44EHZU5

Warn ATV Winch

Received this winch by mail very fast and I was very pleased with what all came with the winch. It came with everything you needed to install the winch on your ATV including a mounting plate and all electrical wiring and contactor and controls for your ATV handlebars. I bought this winch to replace a Warn 4000lb. winch that didn't last 1 1/2 year on my UTV. I am very pleased also with the quality of this winch set up and the fairlead does look cool to boot. Now that I've used this winch several times in the muddyest of conditions and even while it was under water. We love it, it works smooth as butter and is alot quieter than our Warn ever was I don't thing I'll ever buy another Warn winch and I've owned SEVERAL Warn winches in my last 40 years of 4X4ing in the mud. SUPERWINCH excellent!!!!!

I love the winch! I have used it three or four times and it is working beautifully. The winch, it's anodized aluminum fairlead and synthetic rope all have a quality feel especially considering it's price is considerably less than a Warn brand winch.

The kit was quite complete though some bolts were shorter than I would like. There was more than enough wire for installing it on my Gator UTV and I like that the kit comes with both a permanent mount switch and a pendant one which plugs into the provided socket.

If you don't feel comfortable figuring out basic electrical wiring like switches and solenoids you may have trouble. The instructions are pretty thin and in one place I found them to be incorrect causing the winch to run in the opposite direction as the buttons say. Simply swapping a couple wires quickly took care of it but if you don't have any electrical experience I suppose it would be frustrating.

I do not like the doubling up of two fusible links like they did. It looks cheap and they did not provide any way of mounting them. Enclosing them in a plastic soap box would work but instead I bought a re-settable breaker from the auto parts store.

I know I have made a few negative comments but all in all I feel this is a great winch at any price and a real bargain for about $230. 

Product Details :  
  • High efficiency, low amp draw, sealed 1.6 hp permanent magnet motor featuring mechanical load holding and dynamic brake
  • 55' of 1/4" synthetic rope, drum designed for use with synthetic rope and ergonomic cam action freespooling clutch
  • All steel planetary gear twice as wide as those used by the competition and utilizing machined-in, oil pocket bronze bearings
  • Circuit breaker protected and weather sealed solenoid contact
  • Anodized aluminum hawse, heavy duty latched hook with thimble and limited lifetime warranty

NETGEAR Push2TV PTV3000 Wireless Display HDMI Adapter with Miracast (PTV3000) Certified for use with Kindle Fire HDX


http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00904JILO/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00904JILO&linkCode=as2&tag=tvchoy-20&linkId=PC7MHVY3ACPGJA7T

NETGEAR Push2TV PTV3000

I am taking the time to write an in depth review of this product, the Netgear PTV3000 Push2TV Wireless Display Adapter.

I ordered this unit from Amazon and just received it yesterday.

The first thing that you need to know about this device is that it does indeed work. There are however a few things that you need to know in order to get it up and running and also to optimize its performance once that has happened.

I have my PTV3000 plugged into my Sony Bravia HDTV via an HDMI cable in the back along with a USB cable plugged into the back of the TV as its power source. No need to take up another outlet so it is best to use a spare USB jack on your TV if you have one available.

After you have plugged the PTV3000 unit in to your TV the next step is to open the Intel WiDi software program on your PC or Laptop computer. I am using a Sony Vaio Laptop to run the Intel WiDi software.

Once you have opened the WiDi software you can enable the software to scan for the PTV3000. If it finds it then simply click on "connect" and wait a few moments and see if it establishes a connection with the PTV3000.

When I first tried this I was not able to establish a connection to my PTV3000 unit after trying to get it to connect via the Intel WiDi software about 20 times.

Here is what I would recommend that everyone who buys the PTV3000 do FIRST!!

Update/download the latest firmware for the PTV3000 via the Netgear web site. The instructions for doing this are included in the brief manual that comes with the PTV3000. After you have done that I would suggest that you also update the driver/software for the Intel WiDi program on whatever PC or laptop you will be using to send content to your TV. The Sony laptop that I recently bought had an older version of the Intel WiDi software on it and after I downloaded the update for the software, which was 265MB by the way, I was able to connect to the PTV3000 via my Laptop with no problems.

Now, here is something that Netgear does not mention in the user manual. The PTV3000 works best when you have your source, laptop, PC etc..., as close to the PTV3000 as possible. I would suggest keeping your source no more than 20 feet away from the PTV3000 for best results. The second tip that I can share with you is to stand the PTV3000 end on end like a book sitting on a shelf so that the top of the unit faces the direction of your laptop/source. After much trial and error I determined that the antenna inside the PTV3000 is located on the top of the PTV3000 so by standing it end on end and pointing it towards your source you will get a much stronger signal as opposed to setting the PTV3000 flat.

One thing you will notice is that if you walk between your source and the PTV3000 that the audio will sputter and cut out briefly. This ties in with my theory that the PTV3000 likes to have a direct line of sight to your source in order to deliver the best picture with no buffering or glitches.

I had originally placed my laptop about 10 feet away from the PTV300 and after I discovered that the antenna was located in the top of the PTV3000 and stood it up end on end and pointed it towards my laptop I was actually able to have my laptop about 24 feet away and it worked perfectly.

Most of the stuff that I have shared was nowhere to be found in the manual. I learned from trial and error and hopefully this review will help those of you so that you can save some time and follow my advice so that you can be up and running in no time.

Overall the picture and sound quality that the PTV3000 delivers is excellent. The night before I received the PTV3000 I hooked up my laptop to my TV via an HDMI cable and I can honestly say that the picture and sound quality that I was able to get using the PTV3000 was the same as if I was using an HDMI cable.

If you follow my advice I feel confident that you will be pleased with the Netgear PTV3000.

VIZIO Flat Screen TV E480i-B2 48-Inch 1080p Smart LED HDTV


http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GKKI4NY/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00GKKI4NY&linkCode=as2&tag=tvchoy-20&linkId=ZVZZN7UTW3KWABVQ

VIZIO Flat Screen TV

Pros:

1. Vivid and very clear picture, especially with native 1080P content. The Smart Dimming (active LED zone dimming) feature does make a subtle improvement to the picture, so I recommend leaving it on.
2. Smart TV dock with common applications such as Amazon Instant Video, NetFlix, Hulu Plus, and more. Also may be customized.
3. WiFi and Ethernet connectivity. Ethernet is the preferred way since WiFi can be unreliable.
4. Nearly borderless.
5. 3 HDMI connections and a whole host of analog connections. Digital audio out (optical).
6. 120 Hz. I have not noticed significant judder.
7. Almost effortless picture tweaking by selecting "Calibrated" mode. This produces the best and most natural picture for a well-lit room without over-blowing the colors.
8. Blacks are very deep, and much better than my older 42" CCFL backlit Vizio TV.
9. Remote is very nice and feels sturdy. Buttons are on the small side, however.

Cons:

1. Picture is not going to rival a $1,500 Sony or Samsung, but the picture is still very good.
2. Viewing angles are OK for this set, but don't expect to get too far from front and center. Washout of the colors will occur starting at more than 20 degrees from head-on horizontally, and about 40 degrees vertically.
3. No ability to adjust how the motion compensation feature works. Older Vizio TVs allowed you to select the degree of aggressiveness of the feature. The user's manual shows the option, but the option is not actually found in the TV menu system.
4. WiFi is only 2.4 GHz. This is a major problem in my book. If you intend to stream and are in a place congested with 2.4 GHz networks, you really need 5 GHz. In my case I am using Ethernet, so it is not an issue.
5. I do notice slight judder, especially with upconverted and streaming content. Not major, but if you look for it you will find it.

Conclusion:

I am very happy with my purchase. It was a worthy upgrade from my 42" CCFL Vizio set. I am not using the TV internal speakers since I have sound piped out through digital optical to a sound bar.

My picture settings are as follows, and I highly recommend them since I have had time to fiddle with TV:

1. When initially setting up the TV, select "Home" mode. DO NOT select Retail.
2. Go into the menu, Picture settings, and then select Calibrated. Although you will be tempted to fiddle with other picture settings....resist the temptation. I learned changing this one thing is the only adjustment you need make.

Remember that you will need to select Calibrated for all inputs. It will default to Standard picture mode (very dim and not all that vivid) when you first switch to say another HDMI port for your BluRay player. Once you switch over to the different input, go ahead and make the change and it will remember the changes for each input. DON'T FORGET to also make the change for the Smart TV streaming hub "input" as well. It will default to Standard for that too until you change it. I would be happy to answer questions.

Panasonic VIERA TV TC-L47E50 47-Inch 1080p 120Hz Full HD IPS LED-LCD TV


http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00752RABI/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00752RABI&linkCode=as2&tag=tvchoy-20&linkId=QCAJQVWMWAIZCVMO

Panasonic VIERA TV

As a programmer and a gamer, I have my share of expensive monitors (just ask my wife!). And the regular LCD TV never satisfy my quality standard; colors are either too cartonish, black is not black, and white is tinted blue. So I have only used plasma as TV. It's warm, have rich real color, it's perfect for movie night, there is no argument there.

So for my second TV, which in my study and music room, I want to try something else, since I keep hearing the LED LCD are the bomb nowaday (even most of them still do not look as life like as good plasma to me), the energy usage is low, thin and light. So I try my first LED LCD with this model after researching the latest 2012 models within my "2nd tv" price range.

Sales person kept pushing LG (got magic wand, apps, thin bezel.....), but for me, IPS is the magic word. For people who do not know what it is just google "IPS panel", if no time, just know this, IPS is supposedly the best panel you can get as LCD panel (I believe all big Apple monitors are IPS, no exception), color is more vivid and the view angle should be a perfect 178.

Got the baby home, set it up, hook up to my 15TB home server w/ HDMI, play some 1080p clips. Wow, it's so clear and real looking, this is some great monitor/TV I told myself. Flipped to the movies folder, open Avatar, wow, so this is 120hz, looking real smooth, real clear.

IN FACT, it's so real and clear, I double check my refresh rate (at 60hz from source) all the codecs. The images looks like a pre-rendered animation, totally flawless. But after the first 5 minutes, it feels kind of weird to me as the movie somehow look much smoother, but "cheaper" at the same time. Then I remember the stuff I heard....soap opera effect.

I never consider my eyes to be sensitive in any case (if anything, years of looking at multi 27" monitor should have desensitized me...), so whenever I heard SOE, I'd just brush it off as some people's sensitive eyes. IT'S NOT, it's very much noticeable to anyone, albeit some people just don't care about it when watching movies in the first place. In 300, all the grains are gone! Now it's really looking like animation, watching them fighting the monsters.

By now, 2 hours after I unpacked it, I'm panicking and start looking at all the menu items. After much google, some site suggested to use Game mode, so the TV wouldn't add additional frames by itself to smooth out the frames. BINGO, the movies are looking absolutely stunning, got the good colors, no bleeding, black is pretty black (not as black as the best plasma...but blacker than most mid price monitors out there, which is a tall order for this size and price). So I open up some calibration graphic test for monitor and tune it abit, I'm pretty much set -- happy.

BTW I have not try any apps in there, but I tested the iphone app remote, works great.

So to sum it up, if you just want picture quality with a good price in a LED LCD, not gimmicks like 3D, apps, hair thin bezel, this is it.

Make sure you understand the usage of GAME MODE, tune the brightness/contrast/color to watch movie, and use all the other ones for TV, personal videos, then it's good. OTOH, if the SOE do not bother you, doesn't matter then. The color and contrast will win you over in no time.

VideoSecu Articulating TV Mount Full Motion TV Wall Mount for 32"-65" LED LCD Plasma TVs up to 165 lbs with VESA up to 684x400 mm


http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001LL5JDA/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001LL5JDA&linkCode=as2&tag=tvchoy-20&linkId=62SHYYWOMD4TPCCC

Articulating TV Mount

I recently purchased 2 Samsung LCD TVs, 40" for the master bedroom and 52" for the family room. Initially I was planning to purchase one articulating mount for the master bedroom and one simple titling mount for the family room. However, based on the quality of this unit, I purchased 2 articulating mounts. In addition to providing flexibility in viewing angles/positions, articulating mounts are great for the initial set-up and subsequent rewiring or replacement of components (you do not have to take off the TV; you simply pull it out and the back of the TV is easily accessible).

This unit is heavy (definitely 2-person job to mount the wall plate), solid, and made with high quality materials. Installation was pretty straight-forward. Instructions were somewhat terse (small/tiny diagrams) and not clear (e.g., which screws/bolts/spacers to use when attaching the back beams to the TV), but they were not that difficult to figure out.

Here are some recommendations:
1) Make sure that the back beams are attached to the TV at equal height. Even if you use the same holes, there is about 0.125" play when tightening the bolts. Otherwise, the TV could be not level even if the wall plate is level.
2) If you have a low margin of error for the height of the mount (I had to mount them in a built in cabinets with 1" gap on all 4 sides), attach the back beams to the TV first and measure the distace between the top of the TV and the point where the beam will "hook" on to the plate. Then figure out where to drill the holes based on the distance between the point where the beam will "hook" on to the plate and the center of openings for the screws/bolts.
3) Always measure twice and use a high quality level to make sure that the mount is level.

GMax GM54S Modular Street Youth ATV Helmets - X-Small/Titanium


http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004YA51DI/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B004YA51DI&linkCode=as2&tag=tvchoy-20&linkId=QGF6I3YADY2TNTP7

Youth ATV Helmets

I just totally ate it last night at 45mph. Hit my head at LEAST 5 times before rolling to a hault. On top of all of it's mass amounts of vents, LED lights on the back, built in retractable sun visor, and modular flip up face, this baby saved my ass, and I felt NO pain whatsoever, each time my head hit the solid ground. No cracks or anything. Some abrasions I guess you'd call them on the front (where my face hit first, thank god for full face helmets or I would not have a face any longer.) and some abrasions on the side.

I'd buy a new GMax right now, but I'm a bit broke at the moment. Maybe if they have a coupon or something.

But this helmet saved my life last night, and I think that's worth a perfect review. Works as intended, via human testing.

Edit:

After reading a lot of the negative reviews, I would like to add note. Just because you don't know how big your own head is, doesn't mean this helmet sucks. GMax has a helmet guide. Go to the website, look at the sizes, and measure your head. It's not that difficult.

Edit #2 9/26/2014: Still have the same Crash helmet haha. I've taken it apart and cleaned and washed it a few times now. All moving parts still work perfect. There are only two issues now: Sun visor gets stuck every now and again when I try to bring it down (no problem putting it back in), and the little triangle shaped vents on the right and left side (mainly the left side) pop off every now and again. Not when I'm riding, but if I bump it against a wall to hard or something of that nature. Not bad considering I should have replaced this baby over a year ago.

This thing is made to last.

Product Details :  
  • Optional L.E.D. Brake Light Kit Transmits your bikes brake light wirelessly and activates L.E.D. light on helmet, sold separately
  • New inner flip tint sun lens is easily raised or lowered with lever located on the exterior of the helmet

Alias TV Show Cast - The Complete Collection (Seasons 1-5 + Rambaldi artifact box)


http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000H5V8DG/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000H5V8DG&linkCode=as2&tag=tvchoy-20&linkId=3M6G5C23EQKPMOHR

Alias TV Show Cast

Other reviewers have mentioned this, but it's worth repeating: THE PACKAGING FOR THIS SET IS ILL-CONCEIVED AND WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY DAMAGE EVERY DISC. Each season's discs are packaged in beautifully detailed cardboard sleeves that are constructed so that corners and edges meet where the bottom of the disc rests. This means that each disc brushes up against four pointed corners each time it moves in the sleeve. Almost all of my discs were scratched upon delivery, and my older DVD player would not read some of them because of the depth of the scratches (my newer player didn't have any trouble, fortunately). I'd ask for a replacement set, but it would arrive in the same condition because this is a design flaw, not a manufacturing error. I'm thinking about contacting Buena Vista or its manufacturer to complain. For the price of this set, the discs ought to be protected better.

Packaging flaws aside, this is an excellent collection. The Rambaldi box itself is a great piece of eye candy and has magnetic sides and top so it closes easily; it's almost a toy itself. The bottom compartment is lined with felt and holds a bonus disc exclusive to this set. You also get a small book detailing some of the series' secrets, which is a nice bonus but not beefy enough to be a selling point.

I won't critique the content itself, other than to say that Alias is a shining example of dramatic television. It's one of my all-time favorite TV series and this collection contains every minute of every episode along with every bonus feature you could ask for.

Concerning the show alone, this product would easily merit a five-star rating, but the packaging is a real bummer. I'm as big of an Alias fan as there is, but even I have to knock off a star for the scratched discs. I'd recommend to anyone who already has two or three of the season sets to just buy the remaining seasons separately. You won't have to rely on scratched discs that way.

Product Details :

DIRECTV Genie Reviews HR34 Home Media Center DVR

DIRECTV Genie Reviews

The pros: Can record 5 programs at once. Connects to whole home Directv service. I have 3 other DVRs, an HR24 and two HR22s and now I can record 11 programs at once and watch them on any of the 4 TVs. Only 1 room can watch the same recorded program. If someone is already watching a show, you can watch other shows but not the same one. Can access on demand shows via wifi internet connection. Larger capacity to record than other DVRs.

The cons: Its expensive. No optical output for audio. HDMI and Digital Audio Coax outputs only. Picture in Picture is hard to use but its there after all these years of no PIP. Need the SWM dish. This is a lease and not a purchase so you must return it to Directv is you discontinue service. Requires a 2 year service agreement and the penalty for early term is $20 for each month you leave before the 24 months is over. Youtube feature is primative compared to smart TVs (no fast forwarding, hard to search).

DTV can offer a credit if purchased from them. Whole home DVR connection needs an installer to come out which can be arranged by Directv.

LOWERING TO 2 STARS
SOMETIMES DOES NOT RECORED PROGRAMS FOR NO REASON; ESPECIALLY THIS WEEK WITH GEORGE CLINTONOPOLIS. HAD A REPAIRMAN COME OUT AND HE WILL REPLACE IT THOUGH IT SHOWS NO ERROR CODES. FAST FORWARDING THRU COMMERCIALS IS VERY DIFFICULT; IT EITHER GOES TOO SLOW OR TOO FAST.

Product Details :  
  • Unit is considered Leased once activated by DIRECTV
  • Two-year commitment to DIRECTV service may be required upon activation.

Reclaimed Wood TV Stand

Nice, solid piece of furniture. It arrives fully assembled, which is great. Happy with our purchase. Delivery went well. It is not "perfect" if that's what you're looking for. It is rustic and made from reclaimed wood.

Very nice, looks great in our den. Color was a little lighter than expected but this is ok. Does have the green patches as described in other reviews. 

This cabinet arrived with broken shelves. We love the furniture, and rather than hassle with sending it back for a new one, we glued the shelves together. The company was willing to work with us and give us a discount for the broken shelves. The furniture is solid wood. I was worried it might look too shabby or old, but it doesn't. It has the look of reclaimed wood, which makes it look like one of a kind.

If this had not come broken, I would have given it 4 stars. The wood is much lighter than the picture and that is deceiving, though it was still a great piece of furniture and we would have loved to have it in our living room! Could not exchange for a new one, because it was delivered from Home Decorators. I would have had to return it, wait for the money to go back in my account and order it again but didn't want to mess with it since it came broken the first time.

DIRECTV Genie Remote

This remote control supposedly allows for either RF or IR usage with the DirecTV DVR. My HR44 would only allow me to set up the remote as RF to the DVR, which is fine. Once that was done, however, it was easy to pair with my Samsung TV for power and volume. I also have a Samsung sound bar, and it took some effort to figure out how to get the remote paired properly. The main issue with that pairing process is that the on-screen prompts tell you to press the POWER button after the code is programmed to verify the code works, but in fact you need to press the VOLUME buttons - this remote does not have a separate POWER button. BTW, the pairings with my TV and audio device are IR - only the DVR uses RF.

This remote does lack some of the features of the older remotes... it lacks several of the buttons - yellow, green, blue, POWER, STOP and possibly others. It also lacks the DTV/TV/AV1/AV2 switch. However, it does work fine without those things, since the HR44 is designed to work with this remote.

UPDATE: Forgot to mention that the pairing with the sound bar is incomplete - the remote will not power on/off the bar, so it's a bit annoying to have to use the bar's remote for power.

Newhart TV Show: Season 1


http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000YKYT1M/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000YKYT1M&linkCode=as2&tag=tvchoy-20&linkId=Z4K7P4N6PW2DXUME

Newhart TV Show

hey don't make them like they used to. This is one of TV's great comedies, anchored by Bob Newhart, and supported by an excellent cast that changed through the seasons. Season one has almost no Julia Duffy character - the ditzy, pampered maid - no Peter Scolari (the irritating yuppy) in love, and minimal Larry, Darryl and Darryl, the Marx brother like stooges who later become a major fixture on the show.

Still Tom Poston, the handyman, Kirk, the narcissistic cafe owner, and the wonderfully inept local Vermont Townsmen do a great job, and they just get better as the show develops. Truly intelligent family fare.

I really miss this one considering the current wasteland of staged "reality" shows, nasty and violent cop dramas, and smutty dysfunctional family comedies. You can sign me up for this one, and I can't wait for the other seasons.

Long before today's stand-up comics started to get their own series, Bob Newhart made the move from being a stand-up comic to the main character of his own situation comedy. His success as a stand-up comedian had led to his hosting a variety show in 1961, but hosting a show is not the same as acting and this show from the 1970s led the way to so many comedians making the move. As with all his series, the success of "The Bob Newhart Show" comes from the ensemble and the writing.

The first season (1972-1973) is a bit uneven at the start, but the creators and writers tweaked it a bit to get the right feel and by the end of the first season the show had really hit its stride. The difference between the pilot episode and shows like "The Man with the Golden Wrist", "Not with my Sister you don't", and "Bum Voyage" is tremendous. So if you think the show isn't as good as you remembered it when you are watching the shows from the first third of the season, don't worry too much, because it keeps getting better, and the last third of the season is very funny.

There are no extras in this DVD set. There are 24 episodes on 3 DVDs each of which has 4 episodes per side. There are no actor profiles, features, interviews, or anything like that. The sound is mono, and they probably could have done a better job of cleaning up the video. However, despite these issues this is definitely a funny show and for those who like comedy with more thought and less slapstick, this is for you. I can only give this DVD set 3 stars because of the issues I mentioned with the DVD set, and because the show itself gets better in subsequent seasons.

Polaris ATV Accessories

These things are fantastic! Very bright compared to the factory bright lights... never have a need for HIGH beams. I do think they use some battery juice though.

Direct replacement. Works Great. Remember--DO NOT touch the bulbs with your fingers when replacing., the oil on your skin will definitely BLOW the bulbs. Would give it 5 stars except price was a little higher than ebay.

Good product but it would not fit my polaris.I need some that will fit my 4/4. The fitting on the ones i got are small twist lock. The ones i need are a bigger twist lock. If you have the pure polaris headlights for the 700sportsman 4x4 2005model, let me know.

Product Details :

As Seen on TV HD-12 HD Clear TV Antenna Review Vision Ultra-Thin High Performance Indoor HDTV Antenna - Free Over The Air Digital TV


http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DDUK0H2/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00DDUK0H2&linkCode=as2&tag=tvchoy-20&linkId=6EATJVHJ236O5D6W

Clear TV Antenna Review

My dad watched that infomercial about cleartv and asked me to order him one for grandma's TV. I already had an account with Amazon and wanted to try to find it here. I read a lot of reviews about the HD Clear Vision and figured "meh, close enough". Ordered, shipped and installed. He called and raved about how well it worked. He said the fuzz and the channels going in and out are now a thing of the past.

It made my dad and grandma happy, and that makes me happy. Two Thumbs Up!

Its very simple to set up and saves me having to pay a monthly rental for another cable box. I get about 30 free channels. 

I was asked by my father to purchase two of these antennas for him, after he seen it on an infomercial. I was reluctant, but if he wanted to try, who am I to say no? He lives by a lake which is in low lying land. The lake is surrounded by tall bluffs on three sides. He has been using two different kinds of HD rabbit ears that are amplified through a transformer plugged into a wall socket. Each set contained several knobs and buttons for adjustments. My father always had issues receiving several channels. Freezing, pixelation, or no input image at all. I assumed we would have to buy a large antenna and put it on the roof.

When I opened the antenna package (HD Clear Vision) I was not impressed at first. It looked like a piece of plastic, with a thin long cord attached. After plugging them in, attaching them to a window, and auto tuning the televisions, I was amazed. all the previous channels came in clear, no freezing, or pixelation, and there were three more channels he had never received before on both televisions from a city seventy miles away. I'm going to buy another for a spare bedroom in my house where I don't have a satellite connection. I don't know why it works, but it does.

Product Details :  
  • Never pay hundreds of dollars for cable or satellite TV again!
  • Innovative flat, ultra-thin indoor HDTV antenna that measures 11 5/8" x 3"
  • HD Clear Vision receives crystal clear, 1080p High Definition TV
  • Multi-directional, pull in signals from all directions
  • Easy to install - just attach the HDTV antenna to any window, wall, door, or flat surface, then plug the antenna into your TV and scan for channels to enjoy

Debbie Macomber's Cedar Cove TV Series: Season 1 (Hallmark)


http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JM5C8WM/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00JM5C8WM&linkCode=as2&tag=tvchoy-20&linkId=EJT4XRZ4EF6HQYBD

Cedar Cove TV Series

Cedar Cove is the first series (13 episodes) that the Hallmark Channel has ever done and it was glorious to say the least. Andie MacDowell and the majority of the other women actresses are absolutely beautiful. And the incorporation of the Delilah radio show was a nice addition as well. While this series deserves a five-star rating for its integrity, I did not give it five-stars because of the quality of its substance. I did strongly like it but was slightly, ever so slightly, disenchanted with the "lightness" of the romantic and dramatic themes. You might say that the drama was low calorie. Yes, a Hallmark NutraSweet level of emotional content. Moreover, the picture quality per se was definitely not HD. If you are going to watch this on a big screen you will notice the distinction. That being said, the picture quality was sufficient to view nevertheless. An anomaly in the film (the only one that I noticed) was the switching of actors in the first two episodes (the actor portraying "Seth" got switched). And, the series does not wrap up in conclusion, but rather, induces the viewer to seek out season 2. That is cool. But it should be noted. As everyone may know, Hallmark is not Hollywood nor are these films made in the United States (to me that is a good thing). No, Hallmark is usually filmed in Canada or sometimes Europe. Hallmark also has a low budget as is demonstrated in the diminished sophistication of its productions. What Hallmark does possess, however, is a moral integrity and exquisite beauty that is difficult to find these days in our modern world. Hallmark is from the heart. Hallmark is awesome and family friendly! Enjoy the season but know that you will eagerly be anticipating season 2 when you are finished.

If you enjoyed Season 1 of Cedar Cove on the Hallmark channel last year, you will want to acquire this DVD of all 13 episodes and behind the scenes footage. It was released just in time before the Season 2 began last week. Remembering where the characters came from, the events that took place, the individuals with their challenges, and looking ahead to where the story will lead to next is all part of reviewing the DVD available.

I enjoyed watching the 13 episodes again, but liked it even more because there were no commercials to interrupt the story.
If you welcome Cedar Cove's second season, I think you will enjoy reviewing the first again.

The tires have great gipping power. They enable me to go places that I could not go with the original Polaris tires that came on my RZR. I would recommend them to anyone who is purchasing tires for an ATV or UTV.
