Received comment from Bason concerning the issue with male and female ends on the LED strips.

Tech geeks, you know that "damn" comment when you hear it.

Was a bit turned off with the higher price compared to others but to me it was worth it since so many others seem shoddy and reviewers had a lot of negative comments

I don't really have any negative comments except if you don't have a TV with a USB port you will need some sort of adapter or USB plug in for them to work.
