5.0 out of 5 stars What do we do without females?, October 14, 2010

This review is from: C2G / Cables to Go - 03170 - 3.5mm Stereo Coupler F/F (Electronics)
When I tried to connect my Xbox 360 to my newly acquired mp3 speaker, I found that they both ended in 3.5-mm male mini-plugs. I was scratching my head at my dilemma until I found and ordered this 3.5-mm Female/Female coupler. It worked well and my problem solved. It proves that the world will grind to a halt without females.

Update: After close to 2 years, this 3.5mm Stero Coupler still works, folks.

1.0 out of 5 stars Will not provide both stereo channels, December 18, 2010

This review is from: C2G / Cables to Go - 03170 - 3.5mm Stereo Coupler F/F (Electronics)
I purchased two of these; neither works properly. If I plug both male connectors in fully, I get sound from only the left speaker. If I pull one connector partway out I can get sound out of the left speaker, but also get a huge buzzing sound.

I've tried this every way I can, but cannot get clean sound from both speakers. And this is not due to any other cables I am using as I have tested both cables in a direct mode from the amplifier through another test setup. Both cables check out fine. The problem is in this connector.

I'm going to try another brand and vendor. Very frustrating and time wasting.

3.0 out of 5 stars A little shoddy... But that's okay., December 2, 2009

This review is from: New Adapter for HP Spare 402018-001 Dc359a Ppp09h 380467-003 Hp-0k065b13 LF 65W- Laptop AC Power Adapter (Electronics)
This adapter comes in two pieces: (1) A simple three-prong cord that attaches to the wall; and (2) an AC adapter that accepts the wall cord and connects to the laptop.

The wall cord is pretty shoddy. The rubber is very stiff and doesn't bend easily. After using this adapter for only two weeks, the rubber wrapping the cord has come disconnected from the plug and there's about a 1/4-inch gap where I can see the underlying wired (themselves wrapped in rubber, so it's not a shock hazard). Also, because of the stiffness of this cord, it doesn't coil well. In fact, I'm pretty sure my twice-daily coiling of the cord is the reason it came apart like it did.

But I'm not really worried about the wall cord. It uses a standard PC connector to attach to the AC adapter, so it's functionally identical to all other PC power cords. I have a thousand of those cords lying around, so I'm not worried.

On the other hand, the AC adapter (with its own smaller cord for... Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Stopped working after three months, February 26, 2010

Believe it, folks. This item stopped working after three months (almost to the day!). I use my computer every day but I do not abuse the cord. In fact, I took extra care with this cord because I wanted it to last longer than it did. I needed a quick, cheap fix when I bought it and this fit the bill. I would recommend you spend a little extra and get the real thing. If you end up replacing the cord more than once you'll spend the same amount anyway. You might as well start out right.

Bought this product about 6 months ago, works fine but the cord going into the wall and into the power-pack falling apart. Wires exposed on both ends, poor construction/quality and now a safety hazard. No problems with the seller, shipping ect.. Just a poor Product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic - The future is here!, October 3, 2011
By 
This review is from: Optoma's ML500, WXGA, 500 Lumen, Mobile LED Projector (Office Product)
I ordered this product on the day of release (not from Amazon, wasn't released yet). I am seriously impressed by it and will post a video after I clean up my place. It will also be with a cell phone camera so if it's not good enough I won't bother to upload it.

Fan & Brightness

Ok first, right out the box it is very bright and vivid. The colors really pop and are saturated, but in a good way. 500 lumens doesn't seem like a lot compared to bulb projectors but this holds its own. I have about a 90" screen right now with my light on and even on Eco mode (lower in brightness to save power everything is easily viewable. I don't even use regular mode as it makes the fan louder. The fan is not that loud but can easily be heard if the room is perfectly quiet. It sounds like a desktop computer with no dedicated graphics card. On Eco mode you can barely hear it. On regular, it's audible but nothing that would bother you. I sleep right next to it and it doesn't bother me... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Game changer........, January 11, 2012
This review is from: Optoma's ML500, WXGA, 500 Lumen, Mobile LED Projector (Office Product)
::::.. I've been waiting for a decent led powered portable projector for a long long time. In the past the specs and performance of a led powered projectors were downright toyish. 30 - 50 lumens were way too dim, resolution was a new low, and the best connection you got was so 80's s-video. In the age of 1080p, over few thousand lumens, hdmi, HDTV, up conversion, and every other bragging gimmick the past "pico" led powered projectors ended up in gizmo crazys trophy stash, quickly forgotten, and I could see why...
::::.. Well this projector will change all that... There are other led powered projectors out there, some cost over $8000 that are focused on home theater, and there are comparable portable projectors like the LG HX350T (Only 300 lumen - 1024 x 768 not even a true 720p), The NEC NP-L50W which has the same specs as the Optima, but costs over $750 and gets complaints on focusing issues, there is the ViewSonic PLED-W200 which is only 200 lumens,. The only one... Read more

This review is from: Optoma's ML500, WXGA, 500 Lumen, Mobile LED Projector (Office Product)
UPDATE: January 29, 2012; I have posted a youtube video showing the focus at startup. As you'll see, it isn't that bad. It is slightly fuzzy but still readable and the videos don't seem to be affected (although I'm sure they are, if you look hard enough). With the price of this projector, the longevity of the lamp, and the quality of the picture, a 10 minute period at the start shouldn't be a huge problem for anyone. But to each his own. I still stand by my five star rating. I will update again if I come across something else. Good Luck!!!!

UPDATE: March 26, 2012; I continue to add videos to youtube. (optoma ml500 user review) I am 100% sure the focus at startup is because of the room temperature. Now that I am in warmer weather, the focus is clearing up in about 2 minutes. Once in the winter, I had the wood stove pretty hot, which made the livingroom warmer than normal and the projector started up completely in focus. So once spring and summer temps are up, there won't be... Read more
