Size not adjustable - work poorly over glasses, October 18, 2010

(Electronics)

These glasses are designed with adjustable prisms so you can center the 3D image, but the glasses themselves do not adjust to fit. They probably fit a child or maybe if you have a small head. The 3D image actually appears once you get the prisms positioned properly, but the image size gets reduced so the 3D effect is not very pronounced. I'm going to try to modify the glasses so they will work over prescription glasses and clip on some how.

Not worth the money, February 3, 2011

First off they do what they say on the tin. They are prism glasses for viewing stereograms, and they do that job.

My problems come from the cost at $17 they are too expensive for what you get. They don't look very good, and the hinges are a bit flimsy. It wouldn't be that hard to break them.

Next comes the fact that they are really only suitable for small heads. And the bump for the nose caused actual pain when I wore them. In the end I had to take them off their ear pieces, attach them to a flip up hinge, and use a dremel to make a bigger nose bridge. All of which compounded my feeling that these were way over priced.

And needless to say they cannot be worn over glasses. Think very carefully before you buy this item.

A bit disappointed., February 23, 2011

These are parallel prism glasses. They work by obstructing your left eye to see the image on the right and vice versa.
Way better than blue-red or crossed eyes method which is tiresome, however the focal distance is pretty far from the screen, so the 3D image is relatively small. For example on a 19 inch monitor, your viewing distance would be from around 2 feet (around 60 cm).
When paired with good 3D images, the result is quite nice.
Note: I did not receive the DVD advertised as bonus...not the end of the world, but I find this misleading.

This adapter is surprisingly light - much lighter than Sony's adapter. It also works exactly as advertised: 100% compatible with the HDR-SR5. Great product with an even better price tag.

Comment on Sony RDR-VX560 1080p Tunerless DVD Recorder/VHS Combo Player by Amenpanefer

I recommend this unit, December 30, 2008

Amenpanefer -

This review is from: Sony RDR-VX560 1080p Tunerless DVD Recorder/VHS Combo Player (Electronics)

I purchased this unit to dub instructional video tapes to DVD. After reading the reviews I was skeptical the unit would work, but to my surprise it did. The video quality was about the same as the video tapes and the process was fairly simple.

Please note:

- Finalize the created DVDs, otherwise they will not play on other machines, also the automatic finalization was not as effective as the manual version.

- I used -R DVDs and they all worked with no errors (unlike my computer).

- It will not record encrypted tapes (those with Macrovision from the movie studios), so do not buy this unit if that is your main purpose.

BAD PRODUCT - FREEZES DURING DVD PLAYBACK, April 1, 2009

Bob (Georgia) -

This review is from: Sony RDR-VX560 1080p Tunerless DVD Recorder/VHS Combo Player (Electronics)

Unfortunately, I own two of thse units. They both have the same problem. The unit freezes while playing commercial DVDs that play perfectly on other players including other Sony models. Sony is aware of the problem with the 500 series (check the Sony website), AND SONY CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS SAID SONY DOES NOT HAVE A FIX. The reality is this: If you buy this unit, the Sony warrenty is WORTHLESS because they can not fix the unit and cannot offer any remedy. Hopefully you will discover this flaw in time to return it to the seller. The unit will play most commercial DVDs ok, but many commercial DVDs will fail 100% of the time even if you try a second copy.

Would I recommend this product to a friend?: No

Finally, VHS through HDMI, June 4, 2008

Paul A. Fucito "fabfriday" (Washington, DC) -

This review is from: Sony RDR-VX560 1080p Tunerless DVD Recorder/VHS Combo Player (Electronics)

Finally, a DVD Recorder and VHS combination unit that allows you to view DVD and your old VHS through your HDMI connection. That's right, you read that correctly. One of the biggest drawbacks of earlier upscaling machines from a variety of manufacturers was that you STILL had to use primitive S or RCA cables to output VHS images onto your HDTV.

Like many folks, I still have a large collection of movies on VHS (for some films, it remains the only version in print), but I was not going to buy another VCR unless I could really view them on my Samsung HDTV. Some VCRs connect with component cables, but cost as much (if not more) than this combo unit, which is so feature laden that I'm glad I waited.

The upconversion is very impressive so far for both DVD and factory VHS releases (lets face it, grainy home recorded VHS copies of TV programs will never look sharp at 1080p, so keep that in mind) and the controls are no more complicated than the average machine (which, may in itself be a problem for some already).

I have yet to fully utilize all the features, including the use of my Sony HD digital camera or camcorder, but those were secondary parts of the purchase. For me, the fact that I can now view my VHS library (and non-Blue Ray DVD library) on my HDTV through HDMI with such impressive image quality is more than enough to satisfy me.

If you are in the market for a combo unit to use with your HDTV, then this may finally be what you and I have been waiting for. Stellar product.

Why 4 stars? Well, I've only had the product a week, so it is too early to throw a 5th star onto the score, but it certainly merits 4 right out of the box.

Absolute junk. This screen protector does not apply well. Bubbles are easy to make, unlike other, more reliable, and thicker screen protectors. Scratches are all other the thing just from touching and are easily visible. Spend a little more money and buy a better product that will be scratch free.

Comment on HP TouchPad Wi-Fi 32 GB 9.7-Inch Tablet Computer by D. Higgins "Code Farmer"

From a dedicated apple fan... This IS a good device, July 2, 2011

D. Higgins "Code Farmer" (Boston, Mass) -

This review is from: HP TouchPad Wi-Fi 32 GB 9.7-Inch Tablet Computer (Personal Computers)

I'm an admitted mac guy, I have the iPhone 4, iPad, Macbook Pro, etc...

I have to share my support now with the HP TouchPad. The webOS 3.0 is really pretty amazing. I didn't think it would make much of a difference in the use of a tablet, but it's outstanding, and here's why:

1) The integration of so many mainstream services used today. (they probably have some fancy term for this concept)
2) Flash plays well
3) Services missing on the iPad like Grooveshark and Amazon's cloud music all work.

First, the services:
On my TouchPad, I setup my
Email (yahoo, google, and microsoft exchange)
Skype
Dropbox
AIM
LinkedIn
Facebook
(there were others, but I don't use snapfish, and photobucket, etc... even a "find others")

I love this integration of all these mainstream services! It's really clever.

While my iPad seems very app-centric, webOS 3.0 feels more like "the matrix has you". It takes your online world and puts it into the tablet. I love that. All of those websites I often interact with get glued together seamlessly so I feel like I'm "jacked in".

A major strength of the TouchPad is the web functionality that won't work on the iPad. For example, I ran Amazon's cloud music player and Grooveshark just fine (awesome!).

On the down side, the apps are slim, but trust me, they will be coming fast and furious over the next year, like a modern-age gold rush. As someone who has ported over my C++ game engine and product ( atPeace ) to TouchPad from IOS, I can tell you that it was pretty easy, and others will certainly follow. This version 1 of the product is the closest any tablet is to competing with Apple, developers will soon be pouring over.

My only real gripe is not having NetFlix working with it yet. That's coming I'm sure, but something I use on my iPad a lot, and I miss. :(

All in all, I'd say if you want something for business, or to have a tablet built around your online presence, or just a good tablet which can run flash, this might be for you. I still love my iPad, don't get me wrong, but for a long time I didn't see why anyone was realistically imagining they could compete with the iPad. I mean, Apple does it sooooo well. Well, now I understand why. WebOS 3.0.

Don't discount this device, it's got great potential. We finally a good competitor for Apple in the tablet world, which should make both products improve.
