I have been using the Microsoft LifeCam VX-3000 for about a year now, and I have the product to work very well. I am using Apple Talk to stay in contact with family and friends and this web cam works great. It includes a built in microphone and setup is fairly easy with the software that comes with the unit. If you are using Windows 7 Microsoft has a download to update the software to make the web cam compatible with Windows 7.
On the Amazon site they describe the product as:
Technical Details
- Superior video quality and high definition still photos
- Automatic face tracking software
- Crystal-clear audio with built-in microphone
- Video effects let you express yourself during chats
- Optimized for Windows Live; Windows Live Call Button, LifeCam Dashboard, and One-Touch Blogging
As I previously stated, new software is available from Microsoft for Windows 7 users. Check out the link below.

I got an iPad 2 32-GB for $21.68 and my girlfriend loves her Panasonic Lumix GF 1 Camera that we got for $ 38.76 there arriving tomorrow by UPS. I will never pay such expensive retail prices in stores again. Especially when I also sold a 40 inch LED TV to my boss for $ 657 which only cost me $ 62.81 . Here is the site we use to get it al from, http://to.ly/aXGE
Surround sound is the best THX. Stereo is great if you cant get surround sound of course. Possibly the next best thing would be dual stereo or quadraphonic.
I just hate having to sit with remote in hand adjusting the volume between the talking and the music during a movie. I’m assuming from reading that I need a center channel to help this problem. So the true question to me is will the 2.1 set up allow me to finally put down the remove and enjoy the movie?
