This adjustable LG UltraWide LED monitor can be mounted on a table or on a wall. To prevent theft, a Kensington security system connector is attached to the monitor that features plug and play functionality with a PC. The HDMI port allows connections of AV devices to this LG UltraWide LED monitor.

Great All Around Monitor
on April 30, 2016
Posted by: AccessDenied
So I set out to replace my old gaming setup which was 3x 24" Samsung monitors. I am a big fan of the monitors that can do a real crisp black and this one seemed to be quite nice. Beyond that the screen size is huge and styling on the monitor itself is nice, The bezel size is nice and small (about 1/4 inch so its good for multi monitor setups.
Excellent refresh rate, I very rarely experience motion blur in games or movies. While this monitor does not use V-Sync most don't still and it is not branded as a gaming monitor so no -star from me. Even without tearing seems to be minimal as well.
2 HDMI inputs and 1 Display port input make it easy to use multiple inputs and the pip functions work nicely when I tried them out.
At the time or purchase Bestbuy did not sell a Display port cable for it so I was forced to use another online retailer. Keep this in mind when buying if you plan to use Display Port. In some of the reviews I read on here before purchasing people complained of low refresh rates and resolutions. I believe this has more to do with them using HDMI which is limited as I have had zero problems currently running 2x nvidia GTX 970 in surround mode 7860x1080 @ 60hrz and have used many many others. The newer generation of this monitor is currently out as well, but improvements seem to be small and price tag is not. Great all around monitor but might not be the best for every gamer. If you do quickbooks or excel a lot you will love this.

Perhaps I've been Spoiled

I had previously owned a roomba 770 (it works great and I love it) and wanted to pick up an assistant for it so I wouldn't have to move it upstairs. My Upstairs is basically one big room about 700square feet very few obstacles. I was disappointed and somewhat shocked that this one failed me so miserably. Constantly misses spots of dirt or debris. I don't really know why this one was such a let down but I'd spend the extra money and go with a higher model. If it ever gets to the right spot it does clean well still so I gave it a fair rating.

Wow What a difference

So this was actually a replacement for a Netgear Nighthawk R8000 which had serious problems with access ponts and extenders being compatible. I had never tried Asus out but I am pleasantly surprised. I plugged it in changed a couple settings and was up and running in just a few minutes. Something that still wasn't achieved after hours of netgear product support. Wifi Speed and Coverage are great, The gigabit lan is as advertised and the Asus web interface is one of the nicest i've seen.

Not Worth the Price
on November 28, 2015
Posted by: AccessDenied
Router was unable to keep my other netgear router connected as an access point, Apparently this has been an issue with this router since day 1, I looked at the firmware update change log and they are filled with update after update of access point or extender fixes. I worked for hours with netgear changing every setting. I RMA'd it and had a local network tech look at it. Still wont work correctly. I only wish I was still in the return period. For advanced networking another brand is the way to go. It is now operating as a $300 access point.

Designed for use with Viper home monitoring and security system starter kits, this Viper 502M motion detector features PIR (passive infrared) technology, which senses movement from up to 39.4' away, so you can keep tabs on your home while you're out.

Works after a couple returns
on December 13, 2014
Posted by: AccessDenied
Bought the starter pack and it worked fine but I definitely needed more sensors picked up 3 of these 1 worked great other two I had to exchange because they did not have more than a 2 foot range if they worked at all. Viper support for this is absolutely terrible I have had 2 viper car security systems that worked great but they are clearly not ready for home support.

I already contacted Netgear support After 2 or 3 agents tried to get me to buy things I finally got 1 helpful person who knew what she was doing, we worked for hours she was knowledgeable but her determination was the same as mine, this router cannot support certain access points after awhile the connection drops. I'm pretty disappointed in Netgear I have always liked them in the past but the response from support and the low quality of the product given the price really let me down. That being said Bestbuy at my local store in Burlington WA was great, they exchanged this for me and really tried to figure out what the problem I was having was. They also lead me to an Asus router that I am quite happy with.

Started out as a great product but...
By Cruising
I bought this product on 7/17/15 and everything was working without issue. Just right outside of the 90 days phone support the router won't allow WiFi speeds greater than 3Mbps and it was very intermittent too. When hardwired no internet at all. The software was updated and even cycled the power too. I also called my internet service provider originally and they came to inspect their equipment but nothing was found at fault.
I called NetGear and to end a long story short the Service Adviser only wanted from me was my credit card information to pay for a service which hasn't been completed, wouldn't provide me a RMA number so I can return the product for replacement and wouldn't allow me to speak to a supervisor. Also due to their faulty product while under warranty, you have to pay for the shipping yourself.
I filled a complaint with the BBB and hope this issue gets resolved. I never had an issue with NetGear until then and I considered myself a fan but now I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND ANY PRODUCT OF NETGEAR to anyone.
I did some research on this product and seems other consumers have had the same issue with this and other routers right after the 90 day mark. Many other complaints about their consumer service too.

Had the same experience with their Phone support, Have to buy something or don't even bother calling. I was a fan of netgear as well. I'll never go back after the experience with this router.

Is this Asus router the same with RT-AC88U (8 LAN ports) ?
