I bought the Asus VS248H-P based on the numerous positive reviews on many other sites. From the reviews, the display was great and had no ghosting. (If I do notice ghosting down the line, I'll probably try some better cables as the ones supplied only support 60Hz) Some reviews commented on wobbly stands. The stand itself is good. The monitor does move a little when you use the buttons, but that's only because you're exerting a momentary force on the edge of a cantilevered system. It has a vesa mount if you want to use a different stand system. It has 3 different video inputs. Wished it had speakers and/or 1200 lines, but for the price, I really can't complain. On average, I'm looking at this display around 12 hours a day, very comfortable. Videos are great. It came with 1 dead pixel, but really just looks like a fleck of dust, not worth trying to exchange. Unfortunately, this product was only available online from BB, but had prompt delivery.
What's great about it: Good Price, Pleasant Display.
What's not so great: 1 dead pixel, no speakers, not 1200 lines.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This kit with 3 filters provides a variety of creative effects for your photography. The UV protector lens filter, 812 warming lens filter and circular lens polarizer fit conveniently in the included 4-pocket filter pouch for storage and easy transport.

I purchsed these filters primarily for the UV Filter. I'm using it as dirt/dust/fingerprint/etc. insurance for my lens. It fits nicely and gives me peace of mind. I am getting lens flares whenever I shoot something with a light source in the frame. If you really want to prevent that, invest more money to get multi-coated filters. Otherwise, it's a nice set and if I ever have an inclination to play with the other filters in the set, I have that choice. Not bad given the low price.
What's great about it: Cheap, easy to use, does what it is supposed to do.
What's not so great: Lens flare, but can't really fault it when given the cheap price.

First and foremost, this phone is amazing. Performance and quality exceed my expectations from Google.
Pro’s:

- Unlimited photo storage

Con’s:

Build quality: This phone is solid in your hand from the moment you pick it up. The aluminum body feels solid and the phone has enough weight behind it to sit comfortably in your hand. I was concerned about the glass portion of the back panel, as I cringed every time I put the phone down on a solid surface, but it has endured very well so far and beyond adding a little flair it helps to quickly identify the top from bottom of the phone as I bring it out of my pocket. The front screen is probably the best screen I have ever used on a smart phone, colors are vibrant, the blacks are deep, and I would put it up against any screen that Apple or Samsung produce. It would really be nice if this was IP 67 rated for water resistance and dust resistance.
Performance: The new Qualcomm 821 processor doesn’t seem leaps and bounds above the older 820 model, but there are times where it is noticeable. Transitions are smooth, scrolling is faster and more responsive, and the phone overall just seems more fluid. The finger print reader is very quick. The camera does load faster than my old phone, but isn’t instant.
Software: The new launcher is very smooth. Took a little bit of time to get used to the “pull up” for the app drawer, but it seems much more natural than the old app drawer button. The Google assistant is nice, but seems to be a slightly more powerful Google now… I expect this will get better over time, but right now seems to be a little basic. Verizon did a great job with the phone’s “bloatware”. I haven’t “noticed” the applications and it seems that they can be uninstalled if I want to. (good job guys). Everything seems to work really well, and the 3D touch is really nice for the applications it works with right now (mostly google apps) but as with most of the software, it will just get better with time.
Camera: This is hands down the best camera I have ever used on a phone. I was worried about the lack of OIS (optical image stabilization) but after seeing how well the EIS performs, it really isn’t a concern anymore. Photos look amazing, the stabilization is awesome, and the HDR+ mode is so fast, I do not even know it’s on. Combined with the unlimited Google photos storage, I really don’t mind the 32GB storage size. Low light photos are amazing and the autofocus is fast. Colors look amazing. I really can’t say enough about this thing. I do wish it had OIS to cover those situations where EIS struggles (lose some details in low light with HDR+ and shaky hands) but I do not think it’s needed overall.
Battery: bottom line, rock solid. I run my phones hard, and normally have to charge them in the car to and from work. (sometimes even at work). But no issues with this Pixel XL. The Qualcomm 821 processor combined with the OLED screen seem to have really helped battery life out. I am looking at 18 hours of life today alone and that’s with about 7 hours of screen time on.)
If you are in the market for a phone, and you have the money, this phone will not disappoint.

Yes 3D Touch!
October 25, 2016
@RTB1980, to answer your question, yes 3D Touch. So when I press and hold a Google application, it displays a context menu specific to that application. It may not be based on pressure sensitivity, but timing. The same action on a non-Google app will 'zoom-out' so that you can drag and drop the app like in previous generations of Android.

How do I connect monitor with my iPad.
If your iPad is a more modern one with a lightning connector, you would need to purchase an adapter. Such as this one: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/apple-lightning-digital-a-v-adapter-white/7007013.p?skuId=7007013
Connect the adapter's lightning connection to your iPad and then connect an HDMI cable from the adapter to the monitor.

This monitor have the remote control
No it does not. The sole control is on the bottom of the monitor just behind the LG logo that's on the bottom front bezel. It's a little controller nub that controls on/off, volume, and leads you into the settings.

Will these work while on an airplane watching their movies.
In the case, there is a 3.5mm male-to-male cable which should allow you to connect to most airplane jacks. If however you are in a plane that requires a dual 3.5mm plug, an adapter is also included in the case.

How is the phone clarity while talking from both ends. What makes Sony WH1000 mx3 better than Bose Quiey Sound 35 II
Unfortunately, there seems to be quality control problems with these WH-1000XM3 headphones. Some reviews say they sound great, but I've personally experienced two bad headphones in a row and my co-worker also has a set that performs poorly.
First Set: You will hear everything clearly, but the other party will hear you as if you're talking through a pillow. When they speak, they will hear a echo of themselves.
After connecting with Sony, they sent me a second set with a return label for the first set.
Second Set: Greatly improved over first set, but the other party hears a bit of static on the line and the echo of themselves is still present. In addition, the right ear cup has a clicking sound even with small head movements or even moving my jaw. I can reproduce this clicking if I compress the padding with my palm.
Hoping you get a great quality set. By comparison, I have not had any problems with my Bose QC-35 and the QC-35 II is supposed to be the same.

Does this fit in all macbooks?
It will depend on how old your MacBook is. If your old drive is a mechanical drive, this will likely fit. If you have a newer MacBook, it might have an m.2 drive which is a different form factor and thus will need to be replaced with another m.2 drive and not this SSD.

This will depend on what model MacBook Pro you have. If your MacBook Pro had a mechanical drive, then this will likely fit. However, newer systems have m.2 drives which are a different form factor and you'll need to replace it with another m.2 drive.

Coming back in stock?
is this monitor going to be restocked at some point? It been a few weeks.
Looks like it is back in stock now. I don't believe it is a product they have in-store though. I bought this monitor from BestBuy.com almost 2 years ago and have enjoyed it since.
