"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
Sharps are so crappy these days... I use to think so highly of them but everything they've been crankin out is old last gen crap. Their current bluray players are slow and not intuitive at all. Little things like pressing play to close the disc tray and play the BD does not work. You have to actually press the open close button, then press play. Also the finish is crap. Cheap plastic that gets swirls and scratches by even microfiber cloths. As for their TV's? more crap... purple haze and bad screen uniformity problems. Horrible off angle viewing and sub par contrast. Also the remotes are cheap looking. I can go on and on... I'll just stop my rambling now... I've been working electronics too long. =/
