Best 1080p Monitor I Have Ever Used!
on August 28, 2017
Posted by: Loomis1975

And it should be for this price, as its an enthusiast level monitor. If you have a Nvidia G-Synch capable video card, this monitor can handle synching with your video card for 240Hz. NATIVE, not overclocked. And 1ms gray to gray. Yes, it is silky smooth frame rate. I personally can't tell any difference once I get above 144Hz, but more is better I guess. The RGB lighting on the back of the monitor is very fancy. Alienware has a mechanical gaming keyboard and gaming mouse with similar RGB lighting if you want all the matching accessories. It has a USB 3.0 hub built in to connect to USB 3.0 on your PC, and one of the two USB 3.0 ports right at the front bottom of monitor is marked for charging. There is also a headphone jack on the back of the unit to plug a line out from your PC to, so you can plug headphones into the front bottom of the monitor, right between the two USB 3.0 ports. When I do this I have to switch "Playback Devices" in Windows 10 to "Dell AW2518 High Definition Audio Device" to hear the headphones. The Color on this monitor is very very good. Has built in On screen overlay of timer or frame rate. If you buy this, it will probably be your LAST 1080p monitor. By the time your are done with this monitor in 4 to 7 years, I'd wager no one will be producing any enthusiast 1080p monitors anymore.

Wi-Fi Connected Printers Have Come A Long Way
on August 17, 2017
Posted by: Loomis1975
from Kennewick, WA
This printer works best as a wireless accessed device. A lot of the features are not available if connected to a PC with a USB cable. You can set this thing up with an Android or Apple Smartphone or any Wi-Fi connected PC or MAC. You visit 123.hp.com and go from there when setting up the printer. You also visit 123.hp.com from computers and smartphones to setup your connection to the printer and get software/apps to help you use the printer.
Can setup an email address to simply email documents or photos to be printed by the printer. My wife setup her Google Drive as a "Printer App" on the printer, and you can print documents/photos directly from Google Drive at the printer if you wish, but it would be easier to do from a computer honestly. But the Google Drive setup does let you scan to Google Drive directly from the Printer Screen or through PC/phone Apps, which is the best use of the Google Apps integration. It does automatic double-sided printing, which I really like. The scan/copy function works well locally at the printer, and you can do basic scan to email as well. You can setup to use a ink-subscription based service with a monthly fee to print X number of pages a month, with a set overage fee for above that, and rollover pages that go to the next month. Think slightly older cell phone plans in concept.
Can print photos and documents from the smartphone app.
Only fancy feature I couldn't get to work was the HP Print Bot integration into Facebook Messenger, which would allow you to chat with the bot and print things from Messenger. It won't recognize the email name of the printer.
All in all this works much better than any Wi-Fi or networked printer I have ever used. Prints nice photos too.

Brought back memories of the 80s in its function
on August 10, 2017
Posted by: Loomis1975
from Kennewick, WA
When I was a young lad in the 1980's, my father bought a Magnavox Stereo system. It was an all in one system, not with separate components. It had a front loading tray cd player (pretty new for the time), a turntable for records up top and a dual cassette deck, and of course am/fm radio.
What this brings to mind is the time before wide use of computers to organize, burn, buy, music in its many forms. If you wanted to copy a cassette, you popped one in and recorded it onto the other deck, etc.
What this brings to mind is the time before wide use of computers to organize, burn, buy, music in its many forms. If you wanted to copy a cassette, you popped one in and recorded it onto the other deck, etc.
This LG system is similar. You can plug in a USB flash drive, and record from FM Radio (no AM radio, sorry) to USB MP3 file. You can also record from CD player to MP3 files on the USB drive as well. I couldn't try the functionality out with the Cassette player (this will be I'm sure the newest device most of us have ever seen with a Cassette player!) because I couldn't find a cassette anywhere in the house, even the "old time" boxes, which did have a few VHS tapes of recorded Seattle Supersonics games from the 90s, but I digress.
You cannot record from Bluetooth to USB. The Bluetooth function worked well from my phone. The 3 cd changer operated just like you would expect it to, no surprises in functionality there.
The sound is adequate, depending on the source, it can become a bit muddled as you go up high in volume, which is fairly typical for these types of speakers (small wire, low ohm, basic speaker in a particle board box). There is a jack on the front of the unit for auxiliary input (same size as earphone jack on smartphones). There is also RCA right/left input jacks on the back of the unit for further hook up.

Interesting Auto Vacuum with voice/remote control
on July 24, 2017
Posted by: Loomis1975
from Kennewick, WA
One thing to know if you haven't had one of these robot vacuum's before. They are not very compatible with young kids or pets. Many a robot vacuum's day has been ruined by various toys/dolls/etc. being swept or sucked up and jamming the mini vacuum. If you have young kids or pets, think of this as the dust bunny/small debris maintenance between regular full sized vacuuming sessions. We generally only use on the schedule when we are mostly away for periods of time, and have to have a reminder to pickup/move/secure all the aforementioned kid/pets items beforehand. Setup with smartphone app, was able to get Amazon Alexa voice control setup and working. Was not able to get Google Home speaker voice control setup at all, kept failing trying to get it to be recognized and activate in Google Home app. Voice control is basic, useful if you can't find your phone or left it at the office I guess. Remote (smartphone app) and scheduling works well. Cleans in a seemingly random pattern, you cannot directly control it with the app. Vacuum avoids drop offs on its own very well. I don't have much use for the Invisible avoidance wall / pet food and water avoider device, but I tested it at a doorway and the robot vacuum turned back dutifully. It is useful to schedule via the app and have it visually there, much better than older more manual robotic vacuums. It is also nice to be able to turn it on remotely when gone from the house, when you forgot to do it for that "one special time". Easy to remove and dump, and good instructions for cleaning provided.

Great Sound!
on July 17, 2017
Posted by: Loomis1975
from Kennewick, WA
First off, these are On-the ear headphones, not over the ear headphones, but are pretty comfortable. The sound fidelity is very good, JBL usually has great sound and doesn't disappoint here. Battery life is advertised as 20 hours and I haven't recharged them yet and have probably used them 14 hours. These don't work with JBL app, and don't announce the battery level, so hard to know when the batteries are getting low. No usb Charger included, but not much of a con these days for someone who would use a Bluetooth headset.
The controls, like just about any wireless headset where they are mounted on one of the cups, take some getting used to. Has option for corded use. Charge cord is Orange colored, hard to misplace that one. Soundshare is a novel option that worked well. Connect a second Bluetooth headset to THIS Bluetooth headset to hear the same output. Worked for two of us in bed watching a laptop movie with 3 year old asleep next to us.

SmartThings integration is a winner
on July 17, 2017
Posted by: Loomis1975
from Kennewick, WA
This is not the fastest mesh router system. It certainly is not the most configurable for router functions and special needs. What it does do the best is have your SmartThings home automation have a very good signal at three distinct points in your home where the mesh units are located. This provides you with excellent control and communication to home automation equipment without relying too much on the natural mesh of communication between home automation devices relaying the signals to each other. I had the Wi-Fi up and running in a short amount of time using the required App on my smartphone. I then configured a few spare home automation items (my main HA hub was Wink 2) with the App and tested them out and they performed perfectly every time. I can use my NETGEAR Arlo Pro cameras to trigger things with the SmartThings HA as well now, something I couldn't do with Wink 2 hub. If you need more speed in between your wireless clients and/or have a very fast internet service speed, I would suggest the PRO version of this system, which has 4x4 AC radios available to clients for much faster speeds. This system is good for basic, almost non-configurable whole home Wi-Fi coverage and home automation coverage thanks to its distributed mesh topology.

Really nice ear buds
on July 8, 2017
Posted by: Loomis1975
from Kennewick, WA
I was surprised by how good these sound. I don't think I'll go back to wired ear buds ever again. For listening at home I still prefer Cans, but these are great for out and about and working out. They do very well in sweaty environments and rainy/steamy weather/conditions. They also work well for taking calls. They come with two sizes of "cush fins" and three sizes of ear buds for a good fit.

Very Nice Bluetooth NFC Cans with Wired Option
on June 8, 2017
Posted by: Loomis1975
from Kennewick, WA
The presentation on opening the product box was done very well and elegant. These cans are very comfortable and should adjust to fit most heads and ears. I connected them very easily with Bluetooth and also Bluetooth via NFC. They sound the same using the wired option whether the power is on or not, that is a nice feature. They do not have the biggest Bass I have heard in headphones, but are sufficient, and can be tuned easily to my taste with an equalizer. I would have liked a hardcase for these phones, but I am usually pretty careful with my headphones in general, so I think they should last quite a while. It did take me a bit to get used to the controls locations. I have not had to charge the battery yet, and have near 20 hours of use with them so far. They do feature a power saving feature that saves battery if you leave them on unattended.

6 year old approved
on May 28, 2017
Posted by: Loomis1975
from Kennewick, WA
Fit 6 year old girl well at smallest band setting. She tried out all the features herself. She said it did not get loud enough to hurt at the highest volume setting, which is good. She liked choosing and putting the stickers on the ear phones. She also liked having a volume control on the earphones themselves. Her last set didn't have local volume control. She has sensitive ears like me and rarely likes to wear ear phones for more than an hour, and that was the case with these, so they are "normal" in that respect. The audio jack is kind of L-shaped with an extra slight angle, making it wider than 90 degrees by a smidgen. Should be long enough to fit most jacks on most cases on phones/tablets. A really thick case or a recessed port (like on an old cassette tape player maybe?) will present a challenge. They do fold well, but I think they will wear fairly quickly in the hands of most little kids, especially those younger than 7. All foam ones, like her previous ones are probably a better choice for pre-schoolers.

Good for many uses, not the best for loud music
on May 10, 2017
Posted by: Loomis1975
from Kennewick, WA
It paired easily and reliably to 3 devices. I used the handy built in clip to hang it for use as a speaker in the shower, and on a backpack out in the rain, both good uses for its waterproof rating. It holds a charge a good long while. The speakers sound pretty good at low and mid volume. At higher volumes they quickly become distorted.

Where’s the fun in winning if you can’t do it your way? With the Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma, next-gen customizability is now. Armed with extra remappable buttons, Razer Chroma RGB, swappable thumbsticks and more, you’ll always be spoiled for choice when it comes to tearing up the competition.
As far as pc compatibility. Is it wired only or Bluetooth? also can I run 2 of them on my PC at once. Like for co op emulators and 2 player games
It is wired only, no batteries.
As far as multiple controllers, I only have the one, can't test 2 of them at once. On my PC right now, I have a Xbox Controller connected via bluetooth and this controller via USB and they are working like normal two controllers for co-op in Humans fall flat. The app for Xbox/PC really only looks like for programming one of them at once. You can rename your controller in the app, so maybe you plug one in, name it, program it, save profile, then unplug, plug the other one in, name it different, program it, save profile. Then plug both in and off you go? Not sure though.

This Belkin CONNECT USB-C audio and charge adapter delivers up to 60W of pass-through power and supports fast charging for compatible devices.
Description and overview both state that it is 46' long. Like as in 46 FEET long. This can't be right. Looks more like 4.6 inches. Anyone want to verify that it doesn't come with a 4.6 foot or 46 foot extension cable.
Answering my own question, tacky I know. the adapter is approximately 5 and a half inches long.
