Top of the line TV features

I received this TV two days ago and all I can say is wow! This is Vizio's first attempt at the high scale TV market and they started out right. First of all, the packaging hints at how well this unit is crafted. The TV is well packed and protected. The unpacking instructions are simple and well thought out. Once you lay the box flat the TV pulls out easily with the built in handles in the bag surrounding the screen. The two small stands slide in easily and attach with two screws each. The connection ports are easy to get to and you will be up and running in no time. Setup is step by step and you will be connected online and the unit updated in between 15 to 30 minutes, depending on your internet speed.
Once the initial setup is complete the true magic begins. The preset calibrated settings look great. The colors from deep black to bright whites are super life-like. I have it hooked to my Xbox X and it allows to experience the best 4K experience available. The only item I had an issue with was HDR not showing available for movies and games. I spent some time reviewing documentation and could not figure out how to enable. I finally called Customer Service and my call was answered on the first ring. The agent was very friendly and my question answered in a matter of minutes. I was connected to HDMI port 5 and only ports 2 through 4 support HDR. The excellent picture got much better with HDR enabled.
The connected features are amazing. Casting from your mobile device is simple with any applications that work with Chromecast. the Vizio Cast application allows your mobile device to act as a full function remote control. in addition you can connect it to Google Home and control with voice commands.
The TV housing is beautiful and of high quality material. The P series is a good option to consider if you are looking for a high quality, budget friendly TV. The advanced features will keep this device up to date with technology for years to come.

Neat little camera unit
on June 1, 2018

from Orrville, OH
This camera is light and easy to carry anywhere with the clip built into the case cover. It charges very quick and works great with the latest Android or iOS operating systems. Turning on or off is as easy as twisting the camera lens. It can learn faces and record those dear to you more often. This is a great memory recorder if you have young kids or animals to make photos and videos of. The phone application is easy to use, store recordings and delete files. It is a much easier alternative to using your phone to take pictures and videos. The quality of recordings is very good and young and old can use with ease.

Wonderful TV companion
on May 29, 2018
Posted by: ScubaSteve
from Orrville, OH
These headphones can be connected either to a compatible HDMI connection or optical connection. Charging is super convenient by setting the headphones on the charging stand. You can easily change the sound type from Movie, Game or Voice. The surround sound quality is the best I’ve experienced in headphones. I have them hooked to my xBox X and the gaming and movie experience is top notch. Sounds seem to be coming from every direction and it really gives an advantage in first person shooting games. The unit is lightweight, comfortable and made from quality material.

Tap on NFC-compatible Bluetooth devices to connect and go with these Sony wireless headphones. Their noise-cancelling technology keeps you focused on your music, while their Ambient Sound Mode mixes in voices and other external sounds you need to hear. Sweat and splashes are not a problem for these water-resistant IPX4-rated Sony wireless headphones.

Comfortable and great sound
on May 29, 2018
Posted by: ScubaSteve
from Orrville, OH
These headphones fit really well and the controls are easy to access. It is convenient that the noise cancelling can be turned on or off from the control box on the cord that connects the two ear pieces. The control box adds a little weight, but doesn’t get in the way as long as you you get the right size ear piece. The sound is great and you can connect to Sony’s headphone Connect application to customize. I’ve been jogging with them several times and they are a great companion to my Apple Watch.

Nice features if compatible
on April 17, 2018
Posted by: ScubaSteve
from Orrville, OH
I had high hopes this would work well in my son’s room. I found out after calling Customer Service that my wiring is not compatible. I have the standard three wire setup... hot, neutral and ground wire. The switch requires four wires plus the ground. So far I have found nobody I know with this setup. It would be nice if the packaging told you this requirement. It will be a great product if you have newer wiring that will support it. Even though it would not work, customer support is very good.

Great shave for an electric razor
on April 12, 2018
Posted by: ScubaSteve
from Orrville, OH
This razor is light and has a good rubber grip. I’m surprised at how close of a shave it gives. Nothing shaves as close as a blade, but it gets just as close as electric razors costing much more. The pop out trimmer is a real plus and the top pops open easily for cleaning. It doesn’t come with a case, but the well packaged plastic it comes in can be used for storage.

Good performance and protection router
on March 29, 2018
Posted by: ScubaSteve
from Orrville, OH
This router is stylish hard to tell it is a router by its looks. The setup instructions were fairly simple once you get a Norton account configured. Two factor authentication is nice added security, but makes setup a bit more cumbersome if you are using a mobile device. If you are replacing an existing router it lets you enter the existing wireless network name and password so all your connected devices do not need reconfigured. QoS is nice so you can prioritize bandwidth on your gaming and voice over IP devices. I did experience issues with the router disconnection when renaming certain connected devices. The issue resolved itself after a few minutes. It comes with one year of compimentery norton core security software for unlimited number of devices. After the one year it is $9.99 per month, which is not bad. You can cancel the subscription and it will still work as a router but you will lose the advanced security features. There are one LAN and four high speed ethernet ports. They are slightly hard to plug into but the included cord management makes everything look tidy. Wireless performance and range is excellent. This is one of the best routers out there for the price, performance, security and style.

Small but big in features
on March 21, 2018
Posted by: ScubaSteve
from Orrville, OH
I was amazed at how small this unit is. The remote is about half it’s size. It has all the features of a full size projector. The picture is good and has several modes to choose from. It will run up to four hours on the built in battery alone. It has Bluetooth, HDMI, USB and USB-C connections. It is the perfect companion for displaying movies on the go.

Meet the secure, tamper-proof smart lock from Nest and Yale. It’s keyless, so you can lock and unlock the door from anywhere with the Nest app.[1] Give people you trust a passcode instead of a key, and get alerts when they come and go. And lock the door with a tap. If you forget, the Nest x Yale Lock even reminds you.

High quality electronic lock
on March 20, 2018
Posted by: ScubaSteve
from Orrville, OH
The lock is well made and connection setup was simple. Be sure you measure first because the lock was larger than my original and had to cut out the hole bigger. The actual lock mechanism is twice as long as most locks so your recess may need drilled out. I like there is a fail-safe option to use a 9 volt battery if the batteries go dead so the lock can be operated. Once mounted it feels solid. The phone app is very useful, easy to use and customizable.

Enhance your multimedia experience with this 15.6-inch Dell G7 gaming laptop. Its VR-ready NVIDIA GeForce GTX graphics board provides seamless, stunning images on the Full HD display, and its hexa-core Intel Core i7 processor and 8GB of RAM handle extended multitasking. Run applications efficiently with the 256B solid-state drive of this Dell G7 gaming laptop.
Will the Windows Hp Mixed Reality be compatiable with this laptop? If so, would games such as “Beat Saber” run at a decent frame rate? Thank you very much
Mixed Reality should run OK on this laptop, however I suggest at least 16 GBs of RAM to run smoothly with all VR applications.

Conquer virtual enemies with this Dell Inspiron desktop. It has an AMD Radeon graphics card with 8GB of dedicated video memory for fast image rendering, and its powerful AMD Ryzen 7 processor and 16GB of DDR4 RAM run multiple programs, games and browsers simultaneously. This Dell Inspiron desktop has a 1TB hard drive for plenty of long-term game storage.
What is the power supply for this pc
My build only has a 375 watt power supply, which I was rather disappointed in considering it is branded as a gaming PC.
