25.5 Inch 1920X1200 High Resolution LCD Wide Monitor Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a mediocre monitor but if you want big size for a cheap price then it may be for you.
****EDIT: DO NOT BUY THIS MONITOR!! I want to change my rating to 1 star after speaking with customer "service." Customer service at Westinghouse was no help. I argued with them on two separate occasions and got 2 separate stories. First time they said they were aware of the problem and have "sent it to corporate for resolution" - HOGWASH. The second time they tried to tell me it was a problem with my computer, and the CSR tried to tell me that these were not shipped with HDMI - DVI cables- HOGWASH.
High speed (category 2) HDMI cables are supposed to be able to handle resolutions above 1080. I purchased one of these cables and it still will not display 1920 x 1200. This is clearly a problem with the monitor. I have checked my video card and tested it, and it is capable of displaying that resolution.
*******************
Pros:
- Good size to price ratio
- Classy looking monitor
Cons:
- No DVI input. It has an HDMI but the native resolution is 1920 x 1200 and the HDMI cannot go past 1920 x 1080.
Therefore the HDMI cannot be used with a computer, unless you are okay with sub par picture. If you know what a LCD monitor looks like using non-native resolution, then that's it. I have not tried it with an HDTV signal yet. When I do I will update.
- I changed to the D-sub input for my computer and going back to analog is difficult. The text is not crisp and it is just overall disappointing having such a large screen but being restricted to a sub-par analog picture.
- The specs claim it has a 2ms GTG response time but I find this to be hogwash. My other monitor is 2ms and it has no ghosting that I can see. This monitor has horrible ghosting effects clearly evident when you move the cursor.
-The control buttons are on the side of the monitor and do not have any labels indicating which button does what unless you stretch your head around to the side of the monitor and look at the little icons imprinted on the button itself. The buttons are black so unless you get a flashlight you won't be able to make heads or tails of it. Minor issue, but I thought I would bring it up.
- The stand is flimsy and does not rotate or move up and down, all it does is tilt and it is not very good at that either.
Other thoughts: I would have given this monitor a 2 star review had it not been so cheap. The third star is only because of the price. I did not know that the DVI to HDMI connection could not use the native resolution of the monitor,this is my fault for not knowing enough about HDMI before buying. But for heaven's sake, if you are going to put a HDMI input on the monitor then make 1080 the native resolution so it looks halfway decent!
If all you need is screen real estate then this is a good buy but if you want a quality digital picture then look elsewhere.

Bionaire BW2300 Twin Window Fan with Remote Control Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We got this fan a few months ago. I read the reviews and was concerned about the temp gauge not working but for the price I gave it a shot anyway. I asked the sales man about the return rate for the produce and he said that not a one had been returned (I didn't really believe him but went ahead with the purchase anyway).
Sure enough I plugged it in and the temp started rising, went up to HI and stayed there. Other than that the fan was great. Quiet, strong, the remote worked good. I went back to the store and saw that the display model was doing the same thing. I couldn't believe that they would design the unit in such a way that the circuits would heat up the thermometer. I figured that some poor kid in the factory had missed a step in the assembly process.
Last night I took it apart and found the thermometer wire. It was laying across the circuit board. All I did was move the wire thermometer away from the circuit board and when I put it back together and plugged it in, it worked like it should have in the first place. Took less than 20 minutes to fix it.
Bionaire Quality Control really slipped on this one. 5 stars for a good product, minus one for the trouble.
If you want to fix it here is how I did it, but if you break yours I accept no responsibility. The instructions state "Do NOT attempt to repair or adjust any electrical or mechanical functions on this unit. Doing so will void the warranty."
UN-PLUG THE FAN. Unscrewed all the screws in the back (7 total I think). Then use a flat-head screw driver to open it from the side that doesn't have the built in extender. I couldn't figure out how to open it all the way but was able to open it about 35 degrees, like a clam, and remove the plastic cover that shields the circuits. The thermometer is the white plastic wire that is only attached to the circuit board on one end, not the round metal thing with a hole in the middle, that is the speaker. I stretched the thermometer wire out to the side, away from the circuit board and the put it back together.

With a remote control for convenient adjustment, this double window fan draws in fresh, cool air from the outside or exhausts stale, hot air from inside. It can also do both simultaneously, because each of the two fans can be set independently to draw in or exhaust out, allowing the unit to exchange inside and outside air. Operable either manually or automatically-with its thermostat turning the fans off and on to maintain a selected temperature-the unit has three speeds, electronic controls, and an LCD screen showing the selected temperature and the room temperature. The remote control (two AAA batteries are included) alters speed, manual/automatic operation, air-flow direction, and temperature.
