I bought this screen along with the Optoma HD20 High Definition 1080p DLP Home Theater Projector (Grey) for my home theater and it shows a fabulous picture.
Out of the box it was well assembled and the only thing required of me were my own mounting screws. I was pleased to see an RF and IR remote included for operating the screen as well as the optional wall mount switch with an optional 12V toggle.
Installation was simple, my friend and I mounted it to wall studs and finished in about 30 minutes. Like I said, all you need to buy are your choice of mounting screws as the case ships fully assembled and ready to mount. It takes about 40 seconds for the screen to completely lower or raise up. This is by design since this isn't a tensioned screen. If the motor were too fast, the screen might get folded up during rolling and cause a nasty crease or wrinkle like a window shade that went up too fast. The slow retraction makes sure this doesn't happen. This doesn't bother me anyway because it takes me longer than that to warm up the projector and find a Blu-Ray to watch. The electric motor is very quiet too as a bonus.
The quality of the screen material was astounding. I had heard some users having wrinkled screens but my screen turned out nice and smooth. Colors and blacks turn out nicely on it when watching movies. Let me tell you also, 150 inches of real-estate looks flat-out beautiful. Words cannot describe it.
I have to give this a 5-star rating because it exceeded what my original expectations were and has really enhanced my home theater experience for a really good price. Good luck.

ES2 Stream 2 Wireless Audio System Review

ES2 Stream 2 Wireless Audio System
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I recently purchased the ES2 Stream 2 System and was amazed.
I have been in the audio business for over 20 years and carry most of the top brands and I can say I was skeptical, as many companies
have tried this before and have fallen short, but after I hooked it up - it definitely exceeded my expectations.
The system was as easy as plugging it in, powering up, connecting a data source and playing. The sound quality was pure and clean - no
distortion or loss of data. I would recommend it to a novice or to an audiophile. Whether you need a to hook up rear speakers for your home
theater or to provide sound at the pool or the patio - it just works!
I can see many applications for it, especially where I don't want to run a bunch of wire or can't.

XANTECH PM110/RP Smartpad3 Dual-Gang Programmable Module Review

XANTECH PM110/RP Smartpad3 Dual-Gang Programmable Module
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have installed this Xantech programmable module for commercial and residential applications. The programming is very simple and continued use has been flawless. I strongly suggest using this module instead of a standard handheld remote for public locations like bar rooms or waiting rooms. Use in residential kitchen or workspaces and you will never lose the remote again and never have to replace the batteries. Combine this unit with the variety of Xantech Smart module keypads for a wide variety in control options.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This screen works fine, and images and clear and bright. The screen moves basically silently up and down which is great. I would recommend this and my only issues are:
- When you send the screen up to close with the remote, you have to stop it when it reaches the top or it will just start coming down again. Not a big deal, but you need to know this.
- The remote control receiver has to be connected on a wire and installed next to the screen which is a bit unsightly I think.

MADCATZ 8241 DVD 2 Wireless Remote for PlayStation 2 Review

MADCATZ 8241 DVD 2 Wireless Remote for PlayStation 2
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
When I was shopping for PS2 DVD remotes, the one made by Sony was about $25. I looked around and saw this one for about $15. So, I picked this one up and brought it home with me, and I thought I got a pretty good deal on it.
The setup and all was pretty simple. Put in the 2 AA batteries that came with the remote, plug in the reciever to the PS2 controller port, and pop in the DVD. There was no need for any setup or anything to use the remote, so I didn't need to take up any space on my memory card. Also, the reciever had an open controller port, so it didn't leave only one port open. This remote is also a universal remote, which means you can program it to work as a remote for your TV and VCR.
When I started to use the remote, it worked just like a regualr PS2 controller, but this also meant that there was still a slow rewind and fast-forward if you have an older version of the PS2. Also, I became a bit frustrated that you had to point the remote directly at the reciever in order for it to work.
Overall, this product isn't all that bad, but it's not the one I'd go with, since now you can buy Sony's DVD Remote for the same price here on Amazon.com, at about $15, or you can go to your local retailer that sells gaming equipment and get it for $20. If you really don't care, then you can get this.

We used this on our vacation to Maui so that we can take photos of us without constantly bugging people. It worked but the range is pretty short (like 15'). So if you have a scenic photo and you're standing more than 20' away, good luck getting the camera to trigger.

Ten Technology naviPod 3G - remote control for your Apple iPod Review

Ten Technology naviPod 3G - remote control for your Apple iPod
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
There is not a lot to this device, but it works just like you'd expect.
It has three pieces:
(1) An IR sensor. This plugs into the top of your iPod into the remote control jack. Because in this position it blocks the iPod's headphone jack, it also plugs into the iPod's headphone jack and has its own headphone jack in the back of the IR sensor. If you use this jack to connect to your stereo, be aware that the iPod volume control does affect the output on this jack, which can be a nuisance if you wanted to use the volume control in your stereo for that purpose (it is pretty easy to accidently overdrive one volume control when trying to use two at the same time). To avoid that problem, get a dock, which has an audio line-level out at the back and connect the iPod to your stereo through that; then only the stereo volume control will affect the playback volume.
(2) A stand. This allows the iPod to stand up without a dock. If you have a dock, you don't need the stand. Apart from a line-level out, a dock also provides a socket for re-charging; you can recharge your iPod without a dock while it is plugged into the stand, but it becomes rather tippy and leans too far backwards.
(3) A remote control. This simple remote has volume up/down buttons, jump back, jump ahead, and pause/play. Note that it does not have a "menu" or "select" button, so it cannot be used for full iPod operation. I only used the NaviPod remote to program a universal learning remote, which worked great. Note: universal remotes that are not "learning" remotes - i.e. remotes that can only operate through factory-installed codes and which cannot learn arbitrary commands from arbitrary remotes will almost certainly not work with so esoteric a device as the NaviPod, so if you have such a remote: you have been warned. The fact that the NaviPod remote does not have a "menu" or "select" button is not a problem when it is used as part of a stero system at the other end of the room (the iPod's display isn't reabable at that distance anyway) but if you for some reason were thinking about using it a few feet away on your desk, you might find that limitation an annoyance: the remote is simply not a complete replacement for the buttons on the front of the iPod.
As a compatibility note, the NaviPod is compatible with the iPod mini's and 3rd and 4th generation iPods. The 1st and 2nd generation iPod's (those with mechanical buttons around the wheel) are not compatible. Those iPod's did not have a remote control jack on top (if you are unsure whether your iPod has one, look at the top - if next to the headphone jack you don't see a small slot with four metal contacts inside it, then you're out of luck).

Elite Screens VMAX2 Electric projection Screen, 16:9 Aspect Ratio-92in (Max White) Review

Elite Screens VMAX2 Electric projection Screen, 16:9 Aspect Ratio-92in (Max White)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This screen is very poorly made. I purchased one and looks great at first, but when I tried to use it, the nightmare began. The up and down stops did not work so the motor would stop at unpredictable locations. The remote control did not work at all, in fact the internal parts were loose and rattling. The manual control box cover is not designed to fasten tightly on the base, so it just pops off when it is hadled. The literature that accompanies the screen is very brief, hardly descriptive, and premature to be distributed with production units.
I called the manufacturer for help with this, before trying to return it, because shipping is expensive for these large items. To make a long story short, they first sent me a new remote, it didn't work either. They sent me instructions to set the up and down stops myself, they didn't work either. Then a new manual control box, the wrong one. I got a new unit, the screen was all wrinkled. Speaking with customer service, they were helpful but limited in capacity. A month later I bought a different screen.
The screen is trouble.

This was a gift from my son last week to go with my Canon T1I.
Pro's
- Solid build and comfortable feel
- Expands on the camera's capability
- Holds 2 batteries so you can keep shooting during extended sessions
- Has an additional tray for using "AA" batteries in an 'emergency'
- Interfaces with the DSLR
- Setting are easily adjusted
- Several of the camera controls are remoted for easy use during portrait shots
- Off/On switch for remote buttons if you want to disable them for landscape shots
Con's
- Does not retain settings when the battery tray is removed (no battery backup). EDIT - IGNORE THIS CON STATEMENT AND SEE THE EXCELLENT INFO IN SUBSEQUENT POSTS REGARDING BATTERY BACK UP AND ORIGINAL BATTERY COVER STORAGE!!!
Minor irritation in the grand scheme of things since setting clock/calendar is
so easy
EDIT - I've now had this grip for almost a year and still love it, particularly after being corrected by subsequent reviewers regarding battery back up and, as a bonus, the original battery cove/door storage.

Doesn't recognize DIRECTV HD HDMI signal, I contacted Cables Unlimited and they confirmed that the signal from DIRECTV HD Receivers don't send out a strong enough signal for the Switch box to recognize. When I purchased this item shipping was free on because it was a super saver shipping item but when I ended up returning the product back to Amazon they ended up charging me $5.95 for returning shipping charges.

Jenis J-ND90-P-B Professional Battery Grip for Nikon D90/D80 (Black) Review

Jenis J-ND90-P-B Professional Battery Grip for Nikon D90/D80 (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Overall, this is a good grip for the money. Looking at it and comparing it to the Satechi battery grip which sells for considerably more, I'd say they are identical. It performs well in every function available in this model. The quality of construction is consistent with the price. The battery grip is made of plastic, but let's admit it, so is the Nikon D90 and D80. The quality of the plastic in the battery grip is made of a slightly less quality plastic than the Nikon camera body and I assume, the OEM Nikon MB-D80 battery grip. If I were to grade the quality and durability of the plastic it is made of I'd give it 6 out of 10. For comparison, I'd rate the durability of the plastic in the Nikon D90 body as 8 out of 10. 10 being virtually indestructible. For everyday use, I'm not concerned at all that I'll break this grip. The function wheels on the front and rear mimic the wheel functions on the camera body and perform just as well. They feel a bit different to the camera body wheels, which I prefer, but do the job just fine. The shutter release button works well and feels about the same as the shutter release button on the camera body. The function buttons to program the clock, shutter release timer and intervalometer (for shooting time-lapse) are a little sluggish, but not enough to cause me problems. The instructions that are included leave a lot to be desired as they are obviously translated from Chinese to English, French and German. Even with the poor translation, I understood the instructions enough to work every setting and program the grip to complete every function available. If you are looking for an inexpensive battery grip, buy this one. If you want a perfect match for your Nikon and don't need the intervalometer, then spend twice the money and get the OEM Nikon grip. If you must have an intervalometer (a function Nikon doesn't offer in a battery grip), then this is the grip for you.

Worth buying for sure. Though it is a little flimsy. Be careful with the sliding button on the side. Other than that it has performed great. I use it for extremely long exposures that require the bulb setting and it has not failed me while hooked up through the wire. I am not sure about the wireless mode because I have hardly used it. Seems to work at an acceptable range when I do.

JobSite M-64R Handheld Multizone Remote Control Review

JobSite M-64R Handheld Multizone Remote Control
Average Reviews:

These remotes are not easy to find. I needed this type of remote for my whole house audio system and this one fit the bill. It works perfectly.


Click Here to see more reviews about: JobSite M-64R Handheld Multizone Remote Control

Enjoy complete wireless control over your JobSite multizone audio system with this handheld remote control. Compatible with such JobSite IR receivers as the IR-FMR flush-mount, IR-SMR surface-mount, and IR-WMR wall-mount models, the remote lets you control virtually any A/V component from another room, provided an IR receiver is installed nearby. Simply point the remote at the IR receiver, which sends the signal to an IR connecting block hub. The hub then routes the signal to the IR emitters mounted on your components. As the emitter reads the information, it tells a component to play, skip, repeat, or whatever else you want it to do--all from a location several rooms away.
The M-64R remote is particularly handy when teamed with JobSite's M-64 multizone receiver, which can control up to six different zones of stereo speakers. Once the entire system is integrated, you can operate your components from wherever your speakers are located, whether in the garage, the upstairs bedroom, or the kitchen. The remote buttons range from frequently used keys such as volume and channel up/down to more specific function keys, which can be programmed to handle specialized tasks. The keypad also offers numeric keys for direct disc and channel access of CD changers and DSS tuners; transport keys such as play, fast-forward, rewind, stop, and pause; cursor keys for menu operation; and source keys that let you choose the component and control the overall system.
The remote comes with a pair of AA batteries and measures 2.5 by 8.5 by 1.62 inches (W x H x D). Homeowners with complex multizone systems may want to purchase a separate remote for each zone to prevent frustrating "where's the remote?" moments. The M-64R is backed by a two-year warranty.
What's in the Box M-64R remote control, two AA batteries, user's manual.
