TIX Color Code LED Clock, Black Review

TIX Color Code LED Clock, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This clock is definitely a conversation starter!
Quality of build seems good. The brushed aluminum faceplate is nice. LED's aren't too bright or too dim (they are adjustable). Detailed instructions are included.
If you're interested in this clock then you are probably drawn to it for the visual appeal alone. It tells the time. Nothing more, nothing less (no alarm or AM/PM designation). Watching it change every four seconds (can be adjusted) is just fun. Once you get used to it, it's really easy to tell the time at a glance.
The only downsides (and these aren't really negatives) are that it is somewhat small in size and if you have bad eyes you are going to have trouble counting the blocks. Then again...if you have bad eyes you would have trouble with most LED/digital clocks anyways. ;x
This is one of my favorite purchases I've made in quite some time and I highly recommend it.

Chass World Sync Time Zone Map Alarm Clock 00193 Review

Chass World Sync Time Zone Map Alarm Clock 00193
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I wanted a desk clock that would display time from different time zones and this clock fits the bill! It is good if you have love ones serving abroad or if you travel overseas a lot. It has a pretty good database including Kabul, Afghanistan which is an additional 10 hours and 30 minutes ahead of CST. It can sync with the major radio sync or "atomic clocks" around the world. Setting both zones it will take some time to get used. The main time is easy to read as is the temperature. The second time zone is a little smaller but will do. It is pretty compact and can be used as a travel clock. I've had this for a couple of weeks now and I've been happy with the product.

Black Nine Bulb LED Headlamp Review

Black Nine Bulb LED Headlamp
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This item worked great for me when I did my three fingers lookout hike in late October (check it out on YouTube)It is definitely a basic headlight but it performs extremely well for the 8 dollar price tag. The one thing that I was not expecting but was pleasantly surprised by was that the middle bulb, 3 on top and bottom, one in the middle, is a diffuse bulb and is not ultra bright like the other 6 bulbs in the headlamp. This is mode three on the switch and it allowed me to read my green ways topographical map in my tent without it being too bright which hurt my eyes in my tent from the reflection. To comment on the battery life as the listing description talks about is true. I changed the batteries after 4 over night camping trips so they do last a while.
Bottom line is that this product will not perform like a Petzl but this out performed my expectations, so much so that I purchased 2 units for Christmas presents.

TIX Color Code Clock, Silver Review

TIX Color Code Clock, Silver
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This clock is great for a quick "binary like" time read. Very hypnotic to watch and a simple yet functional design. Satisfies my love for geeky gadgets.
One thing I wish it had were the instructions etched on the back. (I keep losing my paper ones) and when you unplug it, there is not a cap/bat inside to keep the time long enough to move it or anything without having to reset it. Typical for a clock, but more challenging with this device and no instructions.
Additionally, I personally prefer it in 24 hour mode (aka military) which I can never remember without the instructions. ;)
I've taken a photo of the instructions and have placed a link to them below in case anyone needs it for reference.

Etón ARCFR800 American Red Cross Weather Tracker - NOAA and S.A.M.E. Weather Radio Plus Alert Review

Etón ARCFR800 American Red Cross Weather Tracker - NOAA and S.A.M.E. Weather Radio Plus Alert
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this weather radio to use at work. The idea was to have it (1) only sound an alarm for our county, and (2) only sound an alarm for tornado warnings and severe thunderstorm warnings (i.e., not for watches, tests, etc.). Following the instructions, I programmed the S.A.M.E. code for our county, and I disabled all but the aforementioned alerts. Regardless, the radio sounds at any and all events, including the weekly tests. That makes it practically worthless for use in the workplace. It is a shame, because the unit itself seems pretty well built (though surprisingly large), and the reception and sound quality are quite good. I should have bought the same Midland WR-300 we have at home, which is quite easy to program and has worked great for us.

The Weather Tracker FR800 is a great digital table top radio that receives the normal AM and FM stations with the bonus of S.A.M.E. which is a public alert system operated through NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association). It comes with and AC adapter included and can also operated on 3 D cell batteries (not included). It can also function as a normal alarm clock that gives it yet another function. Having both the options of wall plug or batteries in case of an emergency so you will always have the necessary information.

Sony ICF-C318 Automatic Time Set Clock Radio with Dual Alarm (Black) Review

Sony ICF-C318 Automatic Time Set Clock Radio with Dual Alarm (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
So easy to set & price is right. Radio works good too.
2 seperate alarms, radio or beep. Time is correct out of the box - that's the only "automatic time set" in play here - -1 star for the "automatic time set" which isn't really... Battery backup built in - not a 9v, aaa or aa...looks like it will last - round, flat battery of some type like a watch battery, only larger.
3 settings for display. The lowest is dim enough not to bother me and the highest is fairly bright - low is tough to see in full daylight..
Good value here IMHO. Would buy again ....

VIZIO 32-Inch SV320XVT Full 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV Review

VIZIO 32-Inch SV320XVT Full 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We recently purchased this television from a different store but were impressed as soon as we turned it on. We had received a 24" Vizio LCD for Christmas, but its quality was severely lacking - the picture went dark very quickly if you viewed the screen off-center, even about 10-20 degrees off axis - to the point that having the television on top of a chest of drawers caused it to be too high to watch TV with any decent quality. We returned that one and bought the SV320XVT and were blown away by comparison.
Pros: The 1080p quality at 120Hz makes digital television channels look great. Device buttons are easily accessible for changing inputs instead of pressing a single "Source" or "Input" button multiple times to get to the input you want. There are three HDMI inputs, which is great for a cable/satellite tuner, Blu-Ray player, and another source (we use it for the Canon 7D's video output). The viewing angle is excellent, especially for an LCD. We were able to get a consistent view at about 120-140 degrees off-axis. Different video modes are available for different types of viewing (Basketball, Golf, Baseball, Movies, Normal, etc.). Sound quality out-of-the-box is excellent, though a surround sound system could be hooked up with either RCA, HDMI, or TOSlink.
Cons: 120Hz can still make some live-acted shows and movies look computer animated, but that happens with any TV that has this feature. This TV does not have a 10/100 network port, which I've only seen on a few televisions at this point, but it would be nice to have it for web streaming. There is an RGB input, however, so we can still hook it up to a computer. I'd also like if the TV had an alarm clock on it, but that's a very minor issue. Also, having a jog dial on the bottom right side of the panel makes for an awkward way of controlling power, volume, and channel control; I'd rather have actual buttons for each. It took trial and error to figure out that adjusting the volume from the side did not require me to push the button inward to confirm the change, as that just turned off the TV.

22690 .6" Red LED Alarm Clock Review

22690 .6 Red LED Alarm Clock
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We had a clock just like this one for nearly 20 years. We were so happy with it that when the switches finally wore out, we wanted another. But this one is better quality, so we expect it to last even longer! The LED display is compact, not too big. The brightness is just right by night or day. The controls are intuitive and very easy to set. It keeps time even in event of a power failure (blanked until power is restored). It's a simple, no frills design, well executed and at an unbeatable price. Full marks!
