Impressive Form And Function
on June 1, 2021
Posted by: Kotor
from Orlando, FL
After having had this lamp for about two weeks, I am quite impressed by its form and function. I am using it for a couple of hours every day to brighten up my day in a room that does not get a lot of sunlight. The beneficial effect is especially noticeable early in the morning or when it is cloudy. I am looking forward to using this lamp during the winter months when natural sunshine is in short supply due to the shorter days. If I lived in a part of the world that had long winters and short days, I would certainly want a few of these lamps.
The Lattis design is very attractive and will look nice anywhere you need light. It has 3 different brightness settings, with the brightest being ultra bright. My significant other likes the brightness so much that she uses it to apply her makeup in the morning.
The actual mood enhancing effect will vary from person to person, but for me this lamp works. Not only does this lamp look great, but it gets so bright that it would be useful for multiple applications such as video conferencing or grooming.
An additional benefit of this lamp is that it creates simulated sunlight without actually being exposed to the sun. This could be beneficial to people who have been medically advised to stay out of the sun.

Good For Gaming and Everyday Computing
on May 24, 2021
Posted by: Kotor
from Orlando, FL
This ASUS gaming monitor is a great choice for anyone that wants a nice display for gaming, but is on a limited budget. The full HD picture quality is excellent, and the 75 Hz refresh rate is the minimum needed for gaming. Since this monitor is good for gaming, it is even better for everyday computing functions.
The overall image quality of this monitor is excellent. The colors are accurate and vibrant. There are better looking gaming monitors out there, but definitely not at the price point of this ASUS.
A high refresh rate is a must for gaming, but hardcore PC gamers will likely not be satisfied with the 75 Hz refresh rate, and will opt for a monitor with a higher refresh rate and higher cost. I am using this monitor for PC and PlayStation gaming and find that it performs well, with no noticeable lag.
Even though this is a gaming monitor, it is very common for people to use displays for multiple functions, so I also used it to watch videos on Vudu, YouTube and Netflix. Video playback was excellent so this display can be easily used for gaming as well as everyday computing applications.
This monitor is highly adjustable, and rotates from the standard horizontal orientation to a complete vertical orientation. I will likely not use it vertically, but it is a nice feature because you never know, and it could prove to be useful with some applications.
This monitor is limited to 1 HDMI and 1 VGA input. VGA is so antiquated (I am not sure why it is even included) that most people likely will never use it. I would much prefer a second HDMI input, but one HDMI input will get the job done. If your video card has a DisplayPort output then an HDMI adapter cable can be used. There are no internal speakers, but there is a standard audio jack that can be used for headphones or speakers.

Sticking With Wireless Earbuds
on May 17, 2021
Posted by: Kotor
from Orlando, FL
I really wanted to like these eyeglass frame clip-on Bluetooth speakers, but I found that they did not work well for me. The concept is interesting, but unfortunately fell short of my expectations. For most applications, a nice pair of wireless earbuds will work better.
I tried them with four different pairs of sunglasses, but was able to achieve a solid attachment with only one pair. Glasses come in so many different configurations that I think it is very difficult to make a universal fit product of this type. Even using the included silicon adjustment sleeves, I was unable to achieve a solid lock on only one pair of glasses that I felt secure taking them on and off. I also did not feel that they were secure enough for most outdoor activities besides taking a walk.
On the plus side, they do sound very good, especially since the sound is projected at your ear as opposed to directly radiating inside of the ear canal. Another benefit to this design is that you will hear more of what is going on around you, if that is a concern.
This product may work better for other people and other glasses then it did for me. Especially if you get creative about locking them down to a specific pair of glasses, or maybe a bike helmet. But there are too many limitations here for me to recommend. I am sticking with traditional wireless earbuds.

Perfect For Working From Home!
on May 12, 2021

Perfect For Working From Home!
If you are in the market for a 32” monitor, then there is a lot to like about this Samsung product. Samsung is known for making quality displays, and this monitor does not disappoint. It is an excellent choice for working from home and personal computing needs. The 32” size has vastly improved my work from home life.
This monitor replaced a 25” one that I have been using to work from home, and the improvement due to the size difference was immediately noticeable. Not as much the picture quality, which are both great, but the jump in screen size. I have really noticed the difference and working is not only more efficient, but easier on my eyes. Now that I have used a screen this size, I am hooked. My p;d 25 inch monitor will now live in my work area as a second monitor, next to this Samsung which is now my primary monitor.
The overall picture quality is excellent. The colors are vibrant and very rich. The contrast is superb and is capable of producing nice black levels. Contrast is crucial to picture quality and is what causes the picture to look really good. Overall I am impressed with the picture quality for general computing activities.
HDR Capability:
Is this monitor 4K UHD capable? Most definitely yes. I need to address HDR at length because the topic needs a detailed explanation. To test the HDR capability I used a Dell XPS 13 that is equipped to render 4K UHD HDR via Dolby Vision. I have attached pictures of the settings screen from my laptop to show what a PC that is HDR capable will show in the settings when it detects a HDR capable display. In order to get a HDR picture on this monitor, a HDR capable device must be used. Important to understand is that even with a HDR capable device, HDR is app and game specific. Even within a specific app, Netflix for example, HDR quality will vary wildly from title to title as each show or movie is mastered differently and with varying levels of quality and effectiveness. The same principle applies to games. In other words all HDR is not created equally, and HDR quality and utilization varies from app to app and title to title. I watched a few HDR titles on Netflix and Vudu and was pleased with the results.
This monitor is equipped with 1 HDMI input and a DisplayPort input. Thankfully manufacturers are moving away from the antiquated VGA input and opting for the more capable Display Port standard. But I wish PC manufactures would simplify things and just use HDMI exclusively. There are no internal speakers but there is a rear headphone jack.

Gives Me Peace of Mind…
on May 11, 2021
Posted by: Kotor
from Orlando, FL
Dyson has a reputation for premium performance and this product completely lives up to that reputation. I would recommend this air purifier to anyone that is concerned about having the best indoor air quality, and is willing to pay a premium price to get it, or in my case maintain it. This product and replacement filters are expensive, but they are worth it for the improved air quality and advanced features it offers. Using it gives me peace of mind, and my peace of mind is well worth it.
The high build quality and visual appeal are immediately apparent. It features an attractive white and silver finish that makes it easy to place and blend. I am using it in my master bedroom and my significant other commented about how remarkable it looks.
Getting the product ready to use was simple and consisted of downloading the Dyson app, taking the product out of the box, inserting the air filter, and plugging it in. The air filter comes in 2 separate pieces that attach to 2 corresponding covers, which in turn snap on to the unit. it is a very simple process, and I posted a picture to show what it looks like.
Included is a compact remote control that is logically designed. The remote magnetically attaches to the top of the air purifier, which is a nice touch that helps it from getting lost. The remote control can nearly fully control the unit, with the exception of setting up a schedule. Linking the product to the app was fast and straightforward. The app offers detailed information, and as I previously stated, allows a schedule to be set, and can also remotely control the product from anywhere.
I would like to give a separate honorable mention to the outstanding LCD screen. It is the best I have ever seen on an air purifier, and clearly shows what mode the product is in. It also gives a usable readout of the various air quality levels this product measures. Use the app to get more specific information, or hit the info button on the remote to cycle through the readouts. If it shows green, then that particular measurement is good. See the Dyson HP07 product page for a more detailed explanation about what pollutant levels are being measured.
This Dyson can be operated in a few different modes. I am keeping it in Auto mode which monitors the temperature in the room as well as the air quality. Then as needed, it will operate at the appropriate fan speed. It can also be operated in a heat mode, which runs via a digital temperature setting.
The air flow direction can be adjusted a few different ways. If the fan mode is not desired for cooling, then the air flow can be set to flow upward so only air purification is used. Another nice feature is that the unit can be manually tilted up or down to target the air flow. The app or the remote can also set the automatic turn (oscillation) to 45, 90, 180, or 350 degrees.
This Dyson is about as loud as you would expect for a powerful fan. At the lower speeds, it is hardly noticeable. At the higher speeds, it is subjectively much louder. There is a night mode that will dim the screen and keep the fan noise low.
One filter is included. A specific filter life in hours is not provided. The Dyson app and LCD screen rates the remaining filter life as a percentage. I have been using it for a few days, and the filter life shows at 100 percent.

The Roomba 600 series robot vacuum is a great way to begin cleaning your home smarter. It learns your cleaning habits and then offers up custom cleaning schedules—taking on daily dirt, dust, and debris from carpets and hard floors. It even has an edge-sweeping brush to get into corners and along edges. Google Assistant and Alexa compatibility let you start a cleaning session with just your voice, or simply use the iRobot Home App. When your area’s pollen count is high or during pet shedding season, the Roomba 600 series robot vacuum can even suggest extra cleanings —to help keep your floors clean every day of the year. *(Alexa and all related logos are trademarks of Amazon.com or its affiliates.

Powerful and Affordable Robotic Vacuuming
on March 31, 2021
Posted by: Kotor
from Orlando, FL
This is an entry-level Roomba robotic vacuum. It will introduce you to the wonderful world of Roomba, without breaking the bank. Roomba is on the cutting edge of automated vacuuming, and this model provides some of the benefits of the more expensive Roombas at a lower price point.
The Roomba 694 is very good at it’s primary job, which is to save time by automating the vacuuming of your home. This model does that task extremely well. It is quite powerful, and does a great job of keeping my home clean. I was pleasantly surprised by how much dirt and particles it is able to suck up.
This Roomba is about as loud as a cordless hand vacuum. This is not surprising because suction is created by a motor that makes noise. The more powerful the suction, the louder the noise. My dog doesn't mind it much, but she keeps her distance.
Before putting it in use, it is necessary to clear obstacles and pick up loose items from its path. This is a robot vacuum not a jeep, so it can get stuck on things that get in its way.
I have a two story home and it was able to completely clean my whole home with one charge. I deploy it on the second story first and then move it to the first story, where I keep the docking station, so that when finished it automatically returns to the charger. The Cliff Detect feature works and stops it before it goes off of the edge of the stairs.
The App is easy to use and very functional. The Roomba and App connect via Wi-Fi, and make scheduling, controlling, and monitoring it very convenient. The App features a high degree of control and customization.
Everything needed to use it is included, as well as an extra filter.

Strong Gaming Performance
on March 21, 2021
Posted by: Kotor
from Orlando, FL
This is my first experience with a curved monitor, so I was excited to try it out. Does having a curved monitor improve my gaming experience? I would say yes, but the difference is very subtle and slight, and you must be sitting very close to the monitor to notice. That is the main reason curved TV’s did not catch on, they are not big enough and people sit too far away to actually notice a difference. For PC gaming I sit right on top of the action, so I found myself enjoying the difference a curved monitor makes. Since it replaced another monitor of a similar size that I am very familiar with, I was able to immediately notice the improved immersion. The main factor being that my eyes were able to more easily scan the left and right periphery of the screen.
The overall picture quality is excellent. The colors are rich and vibrant. The contrast is excellent and can produce very respectable black levels. Contrast ratio is in my opinion the most critical factor affecting picture quality, and this monitor does contrast well. This 1080P full HD panel is not perfect, but at this price range you will not find a better picture quality.
This monitor excels at rendering fast moving games. The high native refresh rate resulted in no noticeable flicker. I was also impressed by how fast the response time was. I would describe the response time to be, for all intents and purposes near instantaneous, with no noticeable lag.
This monitor is primarily designed for PC gaming, but I also tried it with my PS4 and it worked flawlessly. I normally prefer to play PS4 games on my large screen TV, but for those that like to play console games on a monitor, this panel works great for that as well.
Since it is common to use monitors for multiple applications, I also tested it by watching videos and browsing the internet to see how well it performed. Video playback was very easy on the eyes, and most people will not have a problem using it to play PC games as well as an everyday monitor.
It is not equipped with built in speakers, so external speakers or headphones are a must. This is not a problem because monitor speakers are usually too thin and small to produce satisfying sound. Using quality headsets or external speakers vastly improves the game playing experience.
This monitor is equipped with 2 HDMI inputs as well as a DisplayPort input. I am glad that Dell has moved away from VGA inputs, and included the more capable Display Port input, which is more widespread and useful than VGA. Included in the box is a DisplayPort cable.
Overall I am very impressed with this gaming monitor. How much the curved screen makes a difference will vary from person to person, but I am enjoying it and highly recommend it if you are in the market for a gaming monitor in this price range.

Great For Bald Heads
on March 12, 2021
Posted by: Kotor
from Orlando, FL
Since I am bald, I need a razor that excels at giving me a whole head shave. This style of razor does just that. I usually only shave my head 3 or 4 times a week, and with this razor I am easily able to shave my head and neck.
The rubberized grip makes it comfortable to hold and use. It shaves almost as close as a manual blade. This is important to me because I have stopped using a manual blade because I got tired of occasional cuts from them. This razor is also great for times when I am in a hurry and just need a quick clean up.
The pop up trimmer works well for creating clean lines at the edges of my beard.
The battery is rated to last for about 1 hour when fully charged. I have been using it 3-4 times a week and I didn’t have to recharge for about 3 weeks.
Included is a storage bag and cleaning accessories. I really like that it includes oil because that can make a difference in cutting performance if used.

The all new XPS 13 featuring 11th Gen InteI Core mobile processors, it’s now possible to enjoy incredibly immersive entertainment on a remarkably thin and light laptop. The stunning 4-sided InfinityEdge display enables us to bring a 6.8% larger 16:10 display to the 13-inch, all in a 2% smaller size than before, delivering a 91.5% screen to body ratio. 100% of the enclosure is sculpted by a CNC (computer numerical control) machining process. A high precision, machine-milled aluminum chassis creates an elegant design with high build quality that’s stronger and stiffer than magnesium or plastic.

Elegant and Powerful Compact Laptop
on March 2, 2021
Posted by: Kotor
from Orlando, FL
This device is an elegant and powerful compact laptop that has enough processing power and memory to easily handle any productivity and entertainment needs you can throw at it. The system startup and app response times are near instantaneous. The Intel Evo processor and 16 GB of system memory really makes a difference! If you need a powerful Windows PC, then this is the laptop for you.
Before I discuss this laptop in more detail, I want to address that the 4K UHD display creates a bright and beautiful image quality, but at the expense of battery life. I am averaging about 8 hours of total run time per charge. This is not a problem for me since I am rarely anywhere without a charger for more than a couple of hours. But if battery life is a priority, then consider an XPS-13 model with a FHD display, which will provide more hours of battery life.

The 4K UHD display is Dolby Vision capable, and it creates the best image quality I have seen on a laptop. The difference in image quality is truly night and day. The display features superb color and contrast and is rated at up to 500 nits.. I have begun experimenting with reducing the resolution to HD quality levels to see if it improves the battery run time. Not only does that seem to improve the battery life somewhat, but I also noticed no appreciable loss of image quality. This leads me to believe that the excellent image quality is due to the color and contrast capability of the display, rather than the resolution.
Dell really went out of the way to engineer this laptop with an emphasis on elevated build quality. The aluminum design makes it attractive, slim, and light. The first time I handled it, I was immediately impressed with how solid it feels and how easy it is to handle. Not only is this laptop beautiful to look at, but it is an absolute pleasure to use. The color, called Frost White, is white/silver hue.
This laptop is equipped with two Thunderbolt 4 capable USB-C ports. Both are data and charge capable. The power button also functions as a fingerprint scanner. It features the classic laptop design but this is not an issue for me because the only time I even consider using a 2 and 1 in a hybrid layout, is when I am traveling and even then I usually use the traditional laptop mode.
The touch screen and trackpad are very responsive and work well. The keyboard layout is spacious for a compact laptop, and comfortable to use. It is backlit and nicely illuminated.
This laptop is equipped with a Wi-Fi 6 (AX) wireless adapter. To get the maximum benefit from this latest standard, it must be used with a Wi-Fi 6 router. But Wi-Fi 6 adapters are backwards compatible with the previous wireless standard.
The stereo speakers produce sound that is typical for a compact laptop. When listening to music or videos, I use quality headphones. The 720P camera is also of average quality, but more than sufficient for basic video conferencing. The microphone array is of above average quality, and does a great job of capturing sounds.
Included in the box are: a 45 W USB-C power adapter, and a USB-A to USB-C adapter.

Superior Video and Sound Performance
on February 8, 2021
Posted by: Kotor
from Orlando, FL
The Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 features a hybrid laptop/tablet design that is ultra slim, attractive, and a complete pleasure to use. It has more than enough processing power and system memory to easily handle any entertainment or productivity needs. It is an excellent choice for anyone that wants an elegant and powerful laptop that is controlled by the Chrome Operating System.
There is a lot to like about this laptop, but the first thing that I want to mention is the QLED screen, which is highly colorful, HD capable, and looks amazing! The bright, beautiful display offers superb picture quality, and is perfect for watching videos and viewing pictures. The QLED display produces noticeably vibrant colors that really make whatever you are looking at on the screen pop.
The next thing that really stands out is the sound quality. The laptop speakers produce sound that is exceptionally loud and crystal clear, which is truly remarkable for such a slim laptop. Normally I use headphones with my laptops, but in this case I had no problem hearing anything I played over the laptop speakers.
The battery charges fully in about 2 hours, and is rated to last for an impressive 12 hours. After using it for a few days, I have been actually getting close to 13 hours. But your mileage will vary depending on what you are doing. I was using it mostly to watch videos and access the internet. There is a USB C port on both sides of the laptop, so either side can be used to power it.
Setup was as simple as turning it on, and then signing on to my Wi-Fi network and Google account. If you already have a Google account then you will have immediate access to your saved Chrome favorites and Google Drive.
The 2 in 1 design allows this device to function as a laptop or a tablet. I mostly use the laptop mode, but sometimes use the tablet orientations for watching videos.
The keyboard is backlit and well laid out. The keys are well spaced and have a nice feel to them. Likewise the touch screen and touch pad are responsive and both respond well to the touch

This laptop is equipped with a wireless adapter that uses the latest Wi-Fi 6 (AX) standard. But in order to get the most benefit from this latest standard, it must be used with a Wi-Fi 6 router. But don’t be concerned if you don’t have a Wi-Fi 6 router yet, because Wi-Fi 6 adapters are backwards compatible with the older wireless standard.
The build quality of this laptop is really impressive. It features an aluminum chassis that feels very solid, but lightweight at the same time. If you want a slim and lightweight laptop that offers a long battery life and outstanding video quality, you can’t go wrong by choosing the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2.

Great Picture, poor remote Arc audio does not work
By wstcsttechy
Replaced an old SXRD Sony 60" from 8 years ago. Tried the 65" 930 model and that picture was good however not like the 940D. Full array backlighting makes a big difference. First one upon delivery had a line all along the right side of the screen and a horizontal line about 6 inches up from the bottom of the screen. Magnolia came out a few days later with a replacement and this one is much better. Remote control is not user friendly, poor design, Arc audio does not work with my 2 year old Yamaha receiver so must use separate fibre optic cable to allow audio to services. Sony 3D nothing like the Samsung. 4 free movies promotion was difficult to set up and must supply credit card info to get promo and only 8 titles to choose from. I wish they would have included the 3D glasses instead of free movies with a $6500 TV. Overall happy with the purchase and would recommend as a great home theater TV with lots of smart features.

Cable Box breaks ARC
April 24, 2017
Are you using a cable box? Cable and satellite boxes are notorious for breaking ARC. When I disconnected the cable box HDMI cable from the chain, ARC started working. I am going to get a HDMI "CEC less adapter" and connect it to the cable box which should fix the problem.

Given the choice between buying the 930D and the 940D (if price and size is not a issue), which is the better tv? I am confused with hearing about edge lit vs direct full lit, darkness at the corners with white background, 940D no extended range HDR .

The 940D has superior contrast due to the full array local dimming. This allows for deeper blacks than edge dimming. Wider contrast makes the picture "pop" more and creates a better picture quality.

This 64GB Sony SR64UY2A/TQ microSDXC UHS-I memory card features 70MB/sec. data transfer speeds, so you can easily capture and store photos and videos from your compatible camera or mobile device. The card resists water and dust for reliable performance.
 

Will this Sony mico SD card capture full HD video??

It can record 1080P video smoothly due to the high read/write speed. This is a high quality product. I use it in a dash cam with great results.
