There are a lot humorous reviews of this book, all written (I assume) by people who aren't boaters. I sail off the coast of British Columbia, near the one of the busiest ports on the west coast of North America. There is a fair amount of shipping. The problem that most people writing their oh-so-funny reviews don't realize is that these ships generally travel up to four times faster than most pleasure craft. Imagine trying to dodge something moving as fast as a car and the size of a couple of city blocks, while you are on foot.

Been using this for the past week and it is flawless. For the price it is unbeatable. I'm using the vga connection with my computer, but this monitor also has an hdmi plug for when I upgrade. This is a perfect size for a desktop as anything bigger is overkill imho. Set up took about five minutes as I simply reused the vga and power cords from my old HP monitor that died after 7 years. Great value, thanks HP!

As others have indicated, I had a problem after installation updating the software. It would wouldn't update, then the screen would again pop up and ask for me to update. I uninstalled the software and reinstalled with the same result. I called H&R Block and they emailed me a link for a correct software version. Unfortunately, I lost 2 hours of my life to this. I emailed Amazon and got back a canned response. Guess they aren't interested in fixing the software.

Worked pretty well. Our door has full morning sun. It also has a "Welcome" sticker on it. This product was a chance to save our sticker while refreshing our door. We would purchase again. While it wasn't totally perfect, it was good enough as to not have to replace our entire front door.

This one has a wider beam compared to my regular PD32. My regular PD32 appears brighter- maybe due to the fact that it has a narrower/more concentrated beam. If I only have to pick one, I would not hesitate to go with the regular PD32.
