A lot of AWESOME in a true gaming monitor

The AG952 Odyssey Neo G9 49" mini-LED Curved QHD G-SYNC/FreeSync Gaming Monitor has a very wide 49” 1000R Quantum Matrix HDR2000 curved screen with a super-fast 1ms response rate and a 240hz refresh rate, G-Sync and Premium Pro support, and customizable Odyssey Infinity Core lighting for RGB type effects. It was easy to set up by following the included paper instructions (full installation instructions are available on the web) and required about 10 minutes for assembly. It is W I D E and deep. It wraps well to my peripheral vision. The stand allows for ample swivel, tilt, and height adjustment. The large number of mini-LEDs grouped in zones adds great control over blacks and also brightness levels. I have experienced no dead pixels. It allows for easy connection to computers, with 2 HDMI, 1 DisplayPort, 2 USB-A and 1 USB-B ports. The built-in control interface is intuitive and allows for great flexibility in configuration. It looks very massive and cool. It is easy to work or play on all day long. I have experienced no eye or neck fatigue. This is an awesome display. fyi - I am running it on a maxed out desktop gaming PC. I love this display!

Webroot's Web Threat Shield is an additonal defense against cybercrime, it protects you while browsing the internet. It warns you about unsafe websites before you click, and automatically blocks bad ones that are trying to install viruses and malware on your computer. It does this through up-to-the-minute data about website reputations and provides real-time protection from high risk phishing sites. It also helps protect you from threats by showing a warning message.
Web Threat Shield along with Webroot's cloud intelligence is great at isolating you from internet sites that contain malware payloads. The protections is real-time. You will find installation and setup easy. I have had no security issues since I started using it.

Best indoor grill I have used!!!

The Ninja Foodi XL Pro 7-in-1 Indoor Grill & Griddle with 4-Quart Air Fryer, Roast, Bake, Dehydrate, and Broil showcases Ninja's 500F grill grate (with a surface of more than 12x8 inches). You get direct, edge-to-edge heat (which is important for uniform cooking without hot or cold spots). So sear, sizzle, and crisp! With the hood down you get cyclonic air, while with the hood up you get very intense high-heat searing. It has an awesome smoke control system that also mitigates grease spatter and helps prevent grease buildup in exhaust vents. All but the base unit are dishwasher safe (the grill plates are ceramic coated and VERY non-stick). The air fryer is as good at producing crisp food as a dedicated air fryer. 7 functions that actually work – amazing! This is my 4th indoor grill and the best one! Easy to use (intuitive for cooking, and easy to clean).

The IPX5 water resistance rating protects them rain or shine while easy-to-use controls offer the power to change volume, skip tracks, and take calls, all at your fingertips.

Belkin's SOUNDFORM Rise True Wireless Earbuds are unobtrusive and have high end looks despite their low cost. Four microphones provide for clear speech on calls. 7 hours of charge in the buds and another 24 hours in the (wireless) charging case provide extended listening time. They feel rugged and stay put in your ears (at least with mild exercise). IPX5 water resistance rating protects them from rain and dust. The controls are easy-to-use and provide audio power and nice sound quality. You can change volume, skip tracks, and take calls, all from the earbuds.

Coffeehouse Versatility meets Pod Convenience with the Ninja DualBrew Pro Specialty Coffee System. Included 12-cup, double-walled thermal carafe is perfect for both hot and over-ice beverages, with an ergonomic handle and spout allow for easy control of pouring. Tackle grounds and pods with 9 grounds brew sizes from small cup to full carafe, and 4 pod brew sizes from 6 to 12 ounces. Brews a coffee pod faster than a leading Keurig coffee maker upon startup. With Thermal Flavor Extraction DUO technology, perfect flavor for grounds and pods is delivered with even saturation and precise temperature control for ultra-flavorful coffee. Separate from the coffee system is a dedicated hot water line. Using a separate line eliminates flavor contamination and delivers clean water. 2 temperature settings, hot and boil, allow you to make tea, hot cocoa, instant soups, and oatmeal. Brew a super-rich coffee concentrate that you can use to create delicious lattes, macchiatos, cappuccinos, and other coffeehouse-style drinks. Use the built-in, fold-away frother to transform hot or cold milk/milk-alternatives into silky-smooth froth in seconds. Top your Specialty brew with frothed milk for a coffeehouse-style drink. The frother is also removable for easy cleaning. Choose from one of four different brew styles; classic or rich for a traditional hot cup of coffee, over ice for an iced coffee that's never diluted, or specialty to make a cappuccino or latte. Clean function, dishwasher-safe parts, removable Ninja pod adaptor and frother allow you to easily deep clean your unit.

The built in signal indicator displays signal strength and the bar is omni-directional providing connectivity for all directions. 4K full HD is supported if available as a source. I like the size and visual esthetics. It works well providing great reception for weak signals.

Great tones for the face

The unit is very simple to operate. It is easy to store in the bathroom (not needing a charger), so it is very accessible for use, I do not have a problem with using batteries (they are great for travel) although plug-in capability would be nice. It glides well and vibrates at a level that is comfortable. It cleans easily. Cleansers, serums and moisturizers seem to absorb better and more quickly than when I apply them manually. It feels good to the face. All said, over the long run, it should improve my facial circulation and lines based on my current experience.

Perfect Mac 3 device capable wireless keyboard
on October 10, 2021
Posted by: jhancock
from CHICAGO
The primary keyboard design uses the Mac layout and has the control, option and command keys. It is rectangular with 79 keys including curser keys but no numeric keypad. Three new F-row keys - Dictation, Emoji and Mute/unmute microphone are available and to me quite handy. It also has three Easy-Switch keys for device selection. The keyboard has just enough weight to be both comfortable to hold yet heavy enough to be stable. The keys are dished for good finger placement. They are positive with nice key travel and very functional resistance. The keys are quiet and nonintrusive. The charge connection uses USB-C charging.The Smart backlighting comes on when you use the keyboard and turns off when you leave it helping to save energy. The keys stay clean which is a plus for white keys.

A breath of fresh air - GREAT air purifier!
on September 19, 2021
Posted by: jhancock

The instant® Air Purifier AP100 is a small (can fit on a desk size) HEPA-13 air filter that is great for small rooms. It is quiet! It does not intrude on phone or video conferencing calls. It automatically goes into night mode to ensure ultra-quiet and low-light pollution operation. It also has an eco-mode for energy conservation. I took out the filter and then replaced it to see how easy it would be to change. The result – a minute’s time and supper easy! It uses activated charcoal filtration to eliminate odors and plasma ion technology to remove viruses (like COVID-19). It is attractive while being unobtrusive.

Great sound for gaming and player interaction
on August 12, 2021
Posted by: jhancock
from CHICAGO
Solid and good sound quality especially when using Dolby Atmos on my PC. It has good range and consistency of audio. Good battery life, about 16 hours. Rotating, well cushioned and very comfortable earcups provide sound isolation that is adequate for my use. A soft and flexible suspension strap takes pressure off the top of the head, this is a big plus for extended use. Logical and easy to use controls are a pleasure to work with. It has a great, easy to activate boom microphone with LED indicator. Activate it by lowering or de-activate it by raising the boom. Using the iCUE app you can control virtually all of the functions of the headset. The ability to use the long rugged, flexible braided USB cable or the included wireless adapter make it adaptable for Mac or PC. It is a well designed, constructed and durable headset. The RGB function adds a nice visual touch that is highly customizable.

Hear the world on your terms by controlling the sound around you. Innovative technologies in Bose Hearphones amplify softer sounds, let you turn down the distractions in noisy environments and focus on what you want to hear.
Can you connect them to an audio Bluetooth player, such as an iPhone, to listen to music when not using them for conversation enhancement? If so, what is the audio quality of the music? Do they compare to the similar looking Bose around you neck earbuds.
They are connectable to Bluetooth players like the iPhone and provide great audio with low noise. Yes - similar to their other around the neck earbuds.

Best way to get clear low light shots with action
What is the best way to achieve good motion shots in low light on this camera? I am frequently trying to capture images or video in poorly lighted gyms or auditoriums. Is there a recommended preset that handles these conditions well?
Use the highest ISO you are comfortable with digital noise wise. Preferably 3200 or above. Shoot at the widest aperture preferred setting 1.8 at 28mm if possible. This will give you the fastest shutter speed possible. Last but not least pan with your subject. - good shooting!
