Product Description

The BDP-51FD Bonus View Blu-ray Disc Player provides up to 1920x1080 resolution for an unrivaled picture quality. And with True24FPS, now see your movies as the director intended. One HDMI 1.3a digital connection is all you need from the BDP-51FD to output both HD audio and video signals to your HDMI-capable A/V receiver or HD flat panel. Compared to typical connections, the HDMI interface replaces multiple cords without degradation in signal quality between components. HDMI 1.3a also provides 12-bit deep color support, improving subtle gradations between colors. The BDP-51FD supports HDMI Control, which allows you to seamlessly control all your HDMI Control-equipped Pioneer A/V equipment with a single remote. Each DAC features a signal-to-noise ratio of 117db. Wolfson DACs provide top-notch audio performance from music and movie soundtracks. Utilizing a Pioneer developed IC, this circuit digitally reshapes the waveform of the audio clock to greatly reduce jitter for all content. 3D Noise Reduction based on pixel-per-pixel basis reduces Gaussian Noise without blurring the image. By tuning the low-pass filter, waveform distortion of the coaxial digital output is greatly reduced for improved audio performance. The BDP-51FD features internal decoding of all advanced audio formats including Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD High Resolution, and DTS-HD Master.

Pioneer BDP-51FD BonusView Blu-ray Player Review

I got this unit from Amazon at almost 1/3 off the MSRP; at that price I almost feel guilty. This is among the higher-quality BluRay players with regard to picture and audio quality. So far I've watched about a half dozen movies on it and I couldn't possibly love it more. My A/V receiver predates HDMI, so I needed a player with multichannel audio outputs. This unit has high-quality Wolfson DACs that really produce outstanding sound.

Perhaps the most important thing to be said about this player (any current player, for that matter), is you must *update your firmware*! As of this writing the current firmware version is 1.17 (my unit arrived with version 1.02 installed) and it fixes a ton of bugs present in earlier versions. Current firmware and instructions for installation can be easily found on the Pioneer USA website with a little patience. Still missing currently is the ability of this unit to decode DTS Master Audio, but it is promised in an any-day-now firmware upgrade; there are few BluRay units that shipped with DTS MA decoding ability, so Pioneer isn't particularly far behind any other manufacturer in this regard.

One thing to note is this player is a Profile 1.1 player and NOT a Profile 2.0 player, meaning it does not support BluRay Live content that is downloadable from the internet. Personally, I could not care less. There is very little BluRay Live content out there now that is worthwhile, and the BR Live processing and downloading is often mentioned as a performance drag on units that support it. Picture and audio quality are what mattered to me, and this unit delivers in spades.

EDIT 06/09/09: Editing to update info. As of 06/04/09, Firmware 1.32 does indeed enable in-player decoding of DTS Master Audio. It sounds outstanding!

Product Description

The Hoya NXT Circular Polarizing Slim Frame Glass Filter allows the photographer to remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass, etc. Polarizers also enable colors to become more saturated and appear clearer, with better contrast. This effect is often used to increase the contrast and saturation in blue skies and white clouds. This circular polarizer from Hoya produces these effects without affecting the overall color balance of the shot.

Hoya 82mm NXT Circular Polarizing Slim Frame Glass Filter Review

I'm using this ND filter on my Canon EF L 16-35 f/2.8. I purchased this filter because I needed a slim frame filter on such a wide angle lens. The filter appears to be of very good mechanical and optical quality. Asside from the need to turn the filter for optimum polarizing effect, I pretty much forget that it is on the camera and that is as it should be.

VHF Hand Held RADIO 5W SUBMERSIBLE, NiCad - Alkaline Review

We have used Standard Horizon radios for over 10 years on 2 research vessels, starting with the HX255, with which we were very happy. We then switched to the 350S and found them very suitable as well. Unfortunately, with the HX370, there is a weak point in the transmit amplifier and it burns out regularly. I purchased 30 of these radios 2 years ago and have sent ALL of them back at least once for warranty repair. While I can't complain about the service because they have promptly repaired them and sent them back, they have done nothing to correct the problem. So I receive them, they get used and 4 to 6 months later they fail again. Big Hassle. I would not recommend this radio due to this issue. If you do have one you can turn down the transmit power and possibly avoid this problem, BUT why get a 5W radio if you can only use ~3W?

Noppoo Choc Pro 104 keys Full size USB NKRO Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Cherry MX switches POM Key cap(BLACK switches + Backlight) Review

There must exist some twenty or so suppliers of similar product: 104 key mainly-Windows-use keyboard, mounted on a compact size frame (thin edges), black color overall, Cherry MX switches (usually brown or blue or black or red etc), primarily intended for USB connection, 6-to-n-key rollover, etc) This model uses Cherry MX-Black type switches which have less noise. There is no built-in click-over feedback as the key is depressed about 2-3mm in its total travel of about 4mm. Pressure is about two ounces, same as MX-Blue or MX-Brown type switches. If you bottom out the key, which is usually likely, the POM type plastic key caps will gently impact the back surface, and this does create an audible clunky sound. This sound is less pronounced versus the built-in tick-tick click of the Cherry MX-Blue switch, which many users like. If you hit these Black type switches hard, you feel and hear a tock-tock type of lower frequency feedback.

Overall the manufacture quality of this Noppoo Choc (horrible name!) keyboard is excellent. My sample had zero defects while many buyers of Rosewill keyboards may report frequent issues. In fact I ordered this unit because Rosewill cancelled my order for their product, admitting that there existed an unforeseen quality control issue. (I appreciate the honesty!) The Noppoo has POM type plastic (Poly-OxyMethyleneor) keycaps, while many manufacturers use PBT or ABS plastic. POM plastic is a very strong material, so it tends to hold its shape better over time; ABS on the other hand, has a tendency to get shiny quickly with heavy usage. However POM (also called "Delrin" when made into low friction bearing shapes) is somewhat slippery to the touch. So despite the excellent texturing that has been molded into the keycaps, you may or may not like the way your fingers can literally "fly" across the keys while typing! I thought this effect was pretty nice, a lot nicer than sticky, wobbly cheap PVC keycaps, for instance, as found on cheap OEM keyboards that may be thrown-in with your desktop PC purchase.

A problem with slick plastic keycaps, however, is they can be easily popped off the MX switches during transit. My keyboard lost seven keys to shipping vibrations or droppage, so these keys were bouncing around inside the sturdy keyboard double boxed corrugated container. The keyboard was simply wrapped with bubble wrap; if the importer had used a sturdy plastic keyboard cover and then closed the inner carton over that cover, the keys would've likely stayed in place. "Ducky" brand ships with such a hard plastic support device, and their out-of-box experience is much better, AT A COST OF $30-40 HIGHER PER UNIT! Once I found and reattached the keys, this embarrassment of poor presentation was cast aside. The keyboard cable is slightly longer than six feet long and is very sturdy. It is USB only, there is no PS2 adapter included; the cable is permanently attached to the back center of the keyboard. I tested the keyboard with a Logitech purple USB-to-PS2 adapter, and this keyboard is not compatible. A few keys do work, but the keyboard lacks the software for correct PS2 operation. So if you need a PS2 capability, check elsewhere! The upper row of keys also has the typical arrangement of audio control function-activated software keys, but I did not test these as I do not generally use those controls. The keycaps on this keyboard version were not backlit, though you might want to order one of those if you need better visuals and some fun special effects. This version has a yellowish off-white lettering that appears to be laser force-etched into the keycaps, so it should not rub off with your sweaty, oily finger smashes.

The keyboard's chassis is fairly robust and will not slide around on your desk when you pound on the keys. Rubber strip-feet also secure the position, but you can raise up the back edge by about three quarters of an inch if you like an angled typing experience. Just for kicks, I installed a bunch of blue WASD o-rings onto the primary alpha and bottom row and backspace/tab/enter/left-shift keys to see how the feel would be affected. This converted the tock-tock sound to a thunk-thunk with a softer bottoming out energy impulse. Either experience is good typing, but for long term use, the o-rings shorten the stroke by a third of a millimeter or so; in this case I could type faster without any added errors. Your mileage will vary! They even included a keycap puller, but no extra keys.

Shipping: awesome fast, fulfilled by Amazon, arriving two days sooner than promised. The cartons were packed with plastic balloons and condition was excellent, save for the jarred-loose bottom row keycaps. Bottom line is, if you want Cheery MX keyswitches and high quality keycaps that may last a lifetime, you won't regret buying one of the many Noppoo Choc Pro 104 models of keyboards. Just be prepared to do some minor re-assembly after you carefully open the carton! Happy typing to YOU !!
