it's pretty good, visually

For the money it's hard to beat. I connected this to my (new and expensive) router via an ethernet cable, but there is a noticeable lag of a second or two behind "real time" on my Wi-Fi connected computer. I wish there was a way to tweak the color rendering, but overall it looks pretty good visually.

Pros
  • Easy setup

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Crumpled

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • weak
