Quick set-up - Once its plugged in, its ready to go and easy to use. It prompts you for player changes. Its alot of fun to play and very safe due to the soft tips. And if you're worried about how well they will "stick" to the board (like I was), don't worry. Every dart that hit the board stuck well. Some were even hard to get out. One caution - Don't bend the dart when you pull it out otherwise you will ruin the tip. But they are easily and cheaply replaceable so its not a big deal.
Two minor drawbacks - there's no template for drilling the mounting holes and its hard to figure out which game you playing from the game codes displayed. I suggest keeping the instructions handy.

This dartboard without a doubt is the best I've owned to date. Besides the fact that its one of the only soft-tip boards on the market that is regulation size its also one of if not the best made dartboard. A very solid piece of electronics. I've owned at least 6 electronic dartboards in my life from soft-tip electronic to standard bristle steel-tip as well as electronic bristle boards and this one hands down is the best to date. I say this being a person who takes their darts very seriously, from my league play to just shooting with friends. My only regret is that I didnt buy the model with the 4 cricket scoring display. Best board on the market for the money. Dont waste your time with the other boards like I did before I returned the last 3 I had to finally get smart and purchase this one. A great board! Everything else on the market pales in comparison. So if your looking, look no further then this board or the model up from this one. Whatever you do dont waste your time with the electronic bristle boards. They're all crap! And yes soft-tip regulation dartboards are, have, and will always be 15 1/2in if its regulation. If its not then its just a silly toy that will do you no good if your looking to get into playing real soft-tip darts. The 13 1/2in boards they try to sell are junk!!! Good shooting to all!!!

The dart board itself is good. A friend of mine has one wich convinced me to buy one. I purchased mine through amazon but when it arrived it did not work. I don't know if it was damaged in the shipping process or prior to that. The good thing about it is that a new dartboard is being shipped to me the moment I reported it to Amazon and don't have to wait untill the broken one is returned to them. I'm hopefull the new one will work.

Dartboard is nice but misleading. The blue sections do not light up and the when the voice level is set on level high it is still difficult to hear. My biggest compliant is that it doesnt record how many rounds were thrown to complete a game. Also as expected the darts included are complete trash. Nice but I would probably choose a different one if I did it again.
