There are problems with the Juno G LCD display. I have two Juno G's and I have LCD display problems with both of them. Here's a link on YouTube that shows the problem. http://youtube.com/watch?v=Bqos1RpfZvA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf42TB7QjjA

Feature:
wow, SOOO many features for the price range its at! you cant go wrong with one of these beasts! TONS features to come across!

Quality:
METAL!! very durable and extremely light weight so its great for the gig! 13 pounds.

Value:
AWESOME!! best keyboard in its price range for sure!

Desirability:
Cool look, takes after the roland juno 106, not the most sexy machine though...

Sound:
It has a good amount of sounds, some not very useful though. The Acoustic Pianos and electrics are great! The organs are ok, but they are lacking a nice simple classic rock organ, but its all good. The synths are cool, Drums are awesome! But the best sounds are the Clavinets!! FAWNKAY!!

Ease of Use:
its not very easy to use at first, its a little overwhelming, but i think once you get the hang of it, its pretty straight forward.

Support:
have not yet needed it and probably won't need it at all.

Overall:
I'll have this beast for a long time....

Feature:
Amazing features for the price...! Note that the keyboard is not fully functional until you add 512MB of ram (without it you can't record more than 30 seconds of audio) and a PC card adapter/compact flash card (which let's you save all your sequences, patches, and performances and makes it easy to move files to and from your PC) If you're a smart shopper, you can probably do all of this for about $100. Note that saving and loading audio to the CF is frigin' slow! It takes almost a minute just to load about 40 seconds of loops. It takes well over 15 minutes to load a full 4 minute song with a full 3-4 tracks of audio. You'll learn very quickly NOT to try to do this live in the middle of a set :)

Quality:
Awesome.. metal

Value:
You won't find a keyboard in this price range that does anywhere near what this one does.

Desirability:
Classic 80s Juno styling complete with analog sliders and knobs.. nice!

Sound:
Sound is very good. However, even though it's "based on the fantom sound engine" you'd be fooling yourself if you think it sounds as good as the fantom - which simply blows the juno-g away. (albeit the fantom is at least 2x the price..!)

Ease of Use:
A bit overwhelming at first but now that I'm used to it I fly though all the menus and buttons...

Support:
never needed to call

Overall:
Very satisfied overall. I, for one, wish I'd spent the money on the fantom though. The juno-g is still just a toy compared to the fantom series! Even if I do buy a fantom, I'm not looking forward to learning how to use my keyboard all over again or worrying about transferring all my custom patches, performances, and sequences. Still, the juno-g is alot of fun and great overall...!
