belkin Pro

Advantages: no
Disadvantages: ok

...i could find was the Belkin PRO series. This basically means that it has 2x the amount of protective sheath around the cable so that nothing can get through and distort the signal. Belkin are one of the leaders in computer products, they make everything from routers to cables and I have a few of their products and they have never gone wrong for me, so I trust them and their products. I went to my local computer shop and got this cable for the very ...
...a cable there isn't much I can write about it. You plug it into the computer and then into the back of your TV or monitor and it works, there's nothing else too it. It has a male connector on each end (it has lots of pins on it) and this plugs into a female connector (has lots of holes in it that the pins go in) ...

Review of Belkin PRO Series VGA cable - 5 m

Tinted glasses for your computer!

Advantages: Reduces headaches, eye strain and fatigue!
Disadvantages: Difficult to install, can be cumbersome...

...screen and onto your eyes. Fellowes have designed a multi layer optical coating that helps eliminate glare. This particular model (48109) is the 'Standard Glare filter' and comes with a 'Traditional Tint' which cuts down glare. It also reduces the brightness of the screen, a bit like Sunglasses for your computer. Fellowes say that this helps 'increase contrast between the background and images for easier viewing'. All this helps reduce eye strain ...
...From what I can tell Fellowes have quite a good name in PC accessories, and my mum was recommended them when she bought these screens. However, they are quite difficult to put on for the first time... I think it takes a bit of practise to get used to taking these off and putting them on your computer. Also, if you are used to getting a full screen to look at, the parts of the computer screen covered by the plastic outer rim of the glare filter ...

Review of Fellowes Standard Glare Filter Traditional Tint - display screen filter - 13" - 15"

It holds up well

Advantages: Rotatable paper holder - holds your post-its
Disadvantages: Cheap plastic parts mean its liable to break easily

...easier to read. The Fellowes Flex Arm Weighted Base does a great job of this. I have used this product for approximately 3 years now and it has proved ever so helpful. For me, I'd say it comes in 3 parts: -The base -The arm -The 'paper holder' (i cannot think of a better description) Its pretty simple to operate, so here is a quick breakdown on what it does and how it works: The base is sat on the desk, and as per the name is weighted. It has to ...
...a document onto the paper holder. The base is approximately 10cm x 20cm in area. It has rubber 'stops' on the bottom to stop it sliding. On the base there is a useful compartment where you can stow a notepad of post-it notes and possibly even a pen or two. As for the arm, it is inserted into a rotable joint in the base so it can swivel on the horizontal plane. So you can twist the arm left or right with respect to the base. The arm has two more hinged ...

Review of Fellowes Flex Arm Weighted Base

Screen Enhancing Filter!

Advantages: Shows Contrast, Colour and Photographs In Amazing Graphics!
Disadvantages: Look Quite Bulky When On Screen

This screen filter has put a stop to the cleaning on my computer screen forever! No more dirty fingermarks on your screen and best of all no dusting is ever needed again, due to this covers anti-static material. Colours and patterns on the screen stand out a mile with this filter and best of all, it makes the contrast of colours come alive on the screen. I mainly use my computer as a source to view my digital photographs on and sometimes it is hard ...
...in contrast enough etc, however this screen makes the viewing of these pictures a more pleasurable in which my photographs seem to jump out of the screen at you! Overall i felt that this screen filter was well worth the money, the only bad thing that i found with it was the fact that it makes your slim-line screen look bulky and much thicker however this is the price that you have to pay for perfection! ...

Review of 3M Executive EF200XXLB - display screen filter - 19" - 21" (CRT) / 19" -20" (LCD)

A Hasbeen

Advantages: None anymore
Disadvantages: too bulky

I have a Targus monitor stand, but it isn’t used for the purpose for which it was designed. This is no fault of the stand it is simply for one reason at least that I don’t really need it with my current monitor. I now use it as a little table for my printer and it serves this purpose very well, as indeed it did when it was used in its proper capacity. The unit is quite large when seen against comparable products, being that it stands roughly 6 inches ...
...keep the bottom of the Targus stand firmly attached to the top. Incidentally on sizes the bottom portion is slightly larger than the top portion, which is perhaps part of the reason for it looking a bit odd. They currently retail at anything from around £15 to an extortionate £26.99. At the end of the day this unit is just two slabs of plastic stuck together by funny feet, so this price range is a bit steep. Mine was free from work, it was getting ...
