Rating: - * It works! ... If you are wanting to hook up two monitors to one source via HDMI, this actually works! No issues with the way it works at all and easy to hook up and hide with its small size. The only bad thing I can say is its a little pricy. Rating: - * The perfect solution for what I wanted to do! ... I wanted to install a small flat-panel television on my bedroom wall, but I'll be danged if I'm going to pay the cable company an additional charge every month for a second receiver. So I figured I'd get one of these, run the second HDMI cable through the wall from my living room to the bedroom via a couple of wall plates, and hook it up that way. Mission accomplished, and there is absolutely no signal degredation on either TV. They look gorgeous! Rating: - * Does what it says! ... I needed an HDMI splitter to split my Dish HD receiver output to 2 different sources. It's a bit expensive but it sure did the trick! Outputs whatever is input from 480p to 1080p...works with other HDMI sources as well like my Playstation 3. Great product but a bit pricey...still highly recommended! |

Where the NBA Dynasty series (the other initial entry is the slightly meatier Los Angeles Lakers: The Complete History) outdoes Ultimate Jordan is in the six playoff games--one for each year--as they were originally broadcast, minus halftime and commercials. Having the nearly complete game (usually running 90-100 minutes, from the TV introductions to post-game interviews) means you can skip straight to John Paxson's clutch basket or what was expected to be the final shot of Jordan's career. Or you can savor each game in its entirety, all the better to appreciate the artistry of Jordan in his three-pointer barrage against Portland or his "flu game" against Utah. You can see other great players too, of course, including Jordan's teammates--Scottie Pippen, Horace Grant, Dennis Rodman--and those opponents unfortunate enough to face the Bulls--Clyde Drexler, Charles Barkley, John Stockton, Karl Malone, and others. Because these are all NBA Finals games, you won't see Jordan's shot over Craig Ehlo or his 63-point coming-out party against Boston, but the 1990s Chicago Bulls were a team for the ages, and merely having their games--some of them all-time classics--available for home viewing is a major milestone in archived sports. --David Horiuchi

While last-minute heroics tend to be the standard by which we define excellence, there are many other moments that have left an indelible impression, many of them highlighted here. The video clips fall into 10 categories: Dunks, Alley-oops, Assists, Steals, Blocks, Teamwork, the Clutch Shot, Moves, Hustle, and Buzzer-Beaters. At the beginning of each section is a brief introduction. Before showing the top 10 dunks of all time, for example, we learn about the evolution of the dunk--from the first slam to the man who could fly, Michael Jordan--and we hear background commentary from NBA legends such as Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley, Dr. J, and Bill Russell. This video recalls familiar moments of NBA lore that you will want to own for countless repeat viewings. --Jeremy Storey
