Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 100 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the excellent quality of the products, often highlighting their effectiveness for retro computing needs and the superior image quality they provide. Many people appreciate the fast and efficient delivery service, noting that items arrive promptly, well-packaged, and in good condition. Reviewers also find the pricing to be reasonable, especially for hard-to-find items, and commend the helpfulness of the company. Though some customers experienced delays in receiving tracking information or their orders, the company promptly resent items in perfect condition when issues arose. A few other people also felt that the audio level output seemed a bit muted at first, or noted a vertical blue line at the edge of the display, though it did not interfere with the image.

Needed a cable for my Atari SC1435 monitor and CoolNovelties came through so that I did not need to make my own. Price was right and shipping to the US was very reasonable.

It was a pleasant experience, and I will look to do business with you again in near future.
