Great monitor is color accuracy is important
on July 17, 2017
Posted by: jtaz
Verified Purchase:Yes
I wasn't prepared to spend $500 or more for a color calibrated monitor right now. This is about as close as you will get. They are calibrated by Dell, and come with the calibrated results in a certificate. I bought 2, and they were extremely close to each other. You will want to reduce the brightness a bit under most circumstances, and set the color temp to 6500K, which should suit most users just fine. I may buy a calibration tool to further tweak, but out of the box, the performance is more than satisfactory.

Good small screen TV, but not for off axis viewing
on May 19, 2017
Posted by: jtaz
Verified Purchase:Yes
Good to great picture for on-axis viewing, but not for off-axis. I like having the ISF settings although I found a little tweaking yielded the best picture. Great for kitchens, small bedrooms, etc. If you wall mount it, I highly recommend you get an articulating mount.

Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G Standard Lens: Whether you're a beginner or professional, you'll love this compact, lightweight lens from Nikon. The normal angle of view captures approximately what the human eye sees, making it a great all-around lens. Plus, the f/1.8 maximum aperture is ideal for creating softly blurred backgrounds and shooting in low light.

Best wireless router I've owned
on January 29, 2015
Posted by: jtaz
Verified Purchase:Yes
I replaced a Cisco router that was frequently locking up and required resetting multiple times per week. Since installing several weeks ago the Airport Extreme I have not had to reboot yet. I also have fewer dropouts and missing devices incidents with my Airtunes network (4 devices). Highly recommended.

Will this work with an iPhone 7 to connect to tv

It would need an adaptor, as the iPnone has no mini hdmi connector

is this a good lens to use for sports?

I need a new lens to take indoor sports shots with, would this be a good lens? light indoor is pretty poor, & can not use a flash.
For wide shots. It's a fast lens so it does well in low light. If you want close action you may want to consider another lens.

Will it work on the D5100?

I'm getting a D5100 and want to get this lens. Also, does it have to be really close up (example: flower) or can it take portraits? (like having the subject clear and backround blurred) and not have to be really close to them
This a a great general purpose lens and will do fine for portraits unless you are doing close work in which case you might want a 50mm. But for general purposes this is a better all around lens for general photography.

will it work for macros of gemstones

Just ordered the Nikon D3300, looking to take macro photos of gemstones I cut, will this lens work for that purpose? Will it work with the D3300?
It will work on a D3300. DX series are designed for APS-C Nikons. As for macro, if that is your primary use for the lens you may want to consider one of Nikon's macro specific lenses, or something a little less wide, like a 50 or 85mm lens. If this is your walkarouns lens and you just want to do some macros you may be ok.
