Amazing gaming monitor!!
on December 14, 2021
Posted by: btb2k
from Salt Lake City, UT
This monitor is truly amazing and with the curve, for the games that support it, they feel very immersive! The best way I could describe it is it's almost like having VR without the hassle of wearing a headset. In short, this monitor delivers as a solid high refresh rate monitor for gaming and makes gaming feel VERY immersive. Unlike other LED displays, there's no bleeding of light on this display because it's not edge lit and does support split/picture in picture. The HDR is great for gaming but for content outside of gaming it's a mixed bag and there are other monitors even from Samsung that are just as good as this one.
What's great.. the colors are bright and seem accurate out of the box. The image this monitor produce is sharp and extremely bright - in fact so bright that it's hard to sit in front of to look at if it's cranked up and on an all white screen thanks to the mini-LEDs. The curve and feel of the display is immersive. For this I would give it 5 stars, it's great for gaming with the high refresh rate and HDR gaming. Note that for higher refresh rates you need a card that supports it, in my case I have an RTX 2080 Super and it drives it with most games just fine even at 240 Hz. It definitely delivers in these areas and is the best monitor out there for gaming hands down.
That said, I would say keep in mind though that some games do not "natively" support Ultrawide resolutions and you may need to download addons to help with this (Flawless Widescreen software for example). For productivity even though this is not a monitor I would recommend strictly for productivity, and if you were using it for productivity, I would say do so ONLY with Windows 11. With Windows 11 this monitor is stellar, the snapping windows make it easy to arrange windows and multi-task several apps across the screen.
- HDR is hit and miss - it really depends on the game or what you are displaying. I think this is more a limitation of OS/software/drivers than it is the monitor. For HDR Gaming.. WOW, it's pretty good and definitely makes FPS games feel liek you're there. Trying HALO, CSGO and Warcraft, Diablo and more it's awesome for the games that have HDR support and for those that don't Windows 11 Auto HDR makes those games where it's supported look better. See more thoughts on HDR below..
- ​Infinity core lighting is cool, but honestly, it's not NEARLY BRIGHT ENOUGH to even matter if your monitor is wall mounted or sitting on a desk facing a wall. If you were buying this display for that you'll be disappointed unless you can situate it so you can see the back of the monitor. In addition, there's no software or settings to control the brightness and customize it beyond presets that Samsung has in the OSD menu. For the people like me who like their RGB - you won't be satisfied with it sadly. It's cool but "meh" because it lacks in brightness and control and thus is not a reason I would get this monitor over another without it.
-No speakers, camera, mic or KVM... I'm very surprised this monitor for being a top of the line monitor really not to have any "extras" like a webcam, mic or KVM and at the very very least to not have built-in speakers. My Dell 34" Ultra-wide monitor had built-in speakers and a built-in KVM with USB-C video and charging capability. It had a lot more features, and that display was a premium display. It's not a deal breaker as this monitor is a gaming monitor first and foremost so, some features I expected to not appear (like the KVM) but was very surprised to see no built-in speakers.
- Consoles, I did try this out on an XBOX and it works and looks good though I didn't test as extensively. For Console gamers this would be awesome but I would compell you to try a PC for a cool experience.
- This display is huge and takes up a bunch of space, I do wish the stand was designed differently but does work with my space fine.
More thoughts on HDR...
Considering if you have a scene with high contrast (half black half a bright color) you'll notice some obvious dimming/brightening on the colors next to the black and if they run through it in to a brighter portion of the screen. In most situations for most games, videos and photos you won't even notice it but if you do it makes the image appear uneven in terms of brightness. I still think this is more a limitation of the technology and the fact that you're asking the display to literally show a black pixel next to a very bright pixel - a tall order for any monitor unless it's an OLED panel and OLED's have their own limitations. I would say from my own testing, this display is better than many others that claim they support HDR because it's bright and does have fine control on brightness with the mini LED technology. The mini LED's definitely help with localized brightness though I wish Samsung gave more options to control how the LEDs behave in the monitor settings to account for your on tastes. You can adjust for this to an extent with settings in the monitor but are limited somewhat if the monitor detects HDR content from the graphics card. I have turned off HDR in Windows and adjusted the settings/brightness to tune the monitor to what I want for normal use outside of gaming and now use the Auto HDR feature through Windows for Gaming (Window Key + G) before you play a game to set it to HDR. There are limitations for HDR in Windows for normal applications which make the problems with HDR stand out more depending on what's displayed, but for gaming with FPS, and RPG games, Auto HDR is actually pretty good and works great with this monitor!

Cleaning up after pets has never been easier than with CrossWave X7 Cordless Pet Pro, our BEST CrossWave multi-surface cleaner for homes with pets. It vacuums and washes at the same time, across sealed hard floors and area rugs, combining cleaning steps and saving you time. It’s perfect for grab and go cleaning of frequent pet messes with up to 30 minutes* of hassle-free, cordless run time and it weighs just over 10.5 lbs. Our pet parent engineers incorporated three different cleaning modes: Hard Floor Mode, Area Rug Mode and TURBO PET Mode to boost cleaning performance, especially for pet and everyday stuck-on messes. CrossWave X7 Cordless Pet Pro multi-surface cleaner also has LED headlights to illuminate pet hair, dirt and debris while cleaning along baseboards and in corners. And unlike when you use a mop and bucket, there’s no need to worry about putting dirty water on the floor while you clean, since our Two-Tank Technology keeps the clean and dirty water separate. When you’re done cleaning, CrossWave X7 Cordless Pet Pro cleans itself! It has a self-cleaning cycle that rinses the brush roll and inside of the CrossWave with clean water, so there’s less clean-up after cleaning. Plus, it comes with two trial-size bottles of our PET Clean + Natural formula and two PET Multi-Surface Brush Rolls. And this machine doesn’t just clean up after pets, it helps save them! BISSELL proudly supports BISSELL Pet Foundation and its mission to help save homeless pets. When you buy a BISSELL product, you help save pets, too. We’re proud to design products that help make pet messes, odors and pet homelessness disappear.

Have pets or sealed hard floors? Get this!
on December 10, 2021
Posted by: btb2k
from Salt Lake City, UT
This machine is so easy to use, lightweight and handy that I'd recommend having one for sure if you have pets or even no pets and hard floors for quick easy cleanup of spills and messes.
Something to keep in mind is this is not a carpet shampoo machine and it's not intended to be. It is basically a super handy wet vacuum for cleaning up small spills or messes. I now also use it to clean my hard floors. I have a small dog and sometimes though infrequently accidents do happen on the carpet or happen on rugs that require me to dig out the big machine to clean up a small mess which is a pain in the neck. In addition, the cleaner helps ensure that it's cleaned up in a sanitary fashion with cleaners designed for it which is a huge plus. This machine eliminates the headache dealing with the big machine for a small quick cleanup job!
It sits on a base that charges it so it's ready to go when you need it and the base holds an extra roller (so you can have a clean one while the other one dries) and your cleaning solution. The self-cleaning feature works pretty good so that all you have to do after the self-clean is pull the roll out and let it dry or do a more thorough cleaning by hand and let it dry.
The battery lasts a decent amount of time about 20-25 minutes depending on the mode you have it on, more than enough to do spot cleans and a quick clean on my hard floors. If it's on the turbo mode it doesn't last as long but on hard floors and low pile rugs the turbo mode really isn't necessary so I'd say how long the battery lasts is going to depend a lot upon how it's used. The tanks are small so you do end up changing/emptying it a fair amount for more thorough cleaning but for a small spill it's perfect and it's easy to clean up!
The controls, handle and weight are all easy to use and the machine is very light, it actually is VERY light for what you'd expect.
I'd definitely recommend this machine, especially if you have small pets or hard floors with rugs. It's much easier than dealing with dragging out the large machine to clean up a small rug.
Things I like:
It's small, light and easy to use
Perfect for cleaning up after pets
Great for keeping your floors clean and sanitary
Includes two rollers
Charging base with storage
Included 2 bottles of soap
Could improve:
More suction/battery life (could make this machine even more versatile to use on thick carpets)

Wow, haptic feedback is amazing!
on November 14, 2021
Posted by: btb2k
from Salt Lake City, UT
This this headset is really cool and I'm happy to say it is as good in terms of sound quality as my Corsair gaming headset except it has a feature that the Corsair does not - haptic feedback. I play multi-player games with my family and the surround sound with the feedback is pretty cool and makes the whole experience more immersive. While playing Battlefield you can hear and feel the action, it's pretty cool, You can hear things behind and to the side and feel it too.
In terms of comfort, this headset is so far very comfortable to wear for extended periods of time and isn't too heavy. Sometimes it's a preference thing but I can't stand headsets that make your head feel like it's in a vice and so far this one isn't that way for me.
The RGB is pretty cool and Razer has definitely stepped up the software experience make it easy to control the sound and haptic feedback and lighting. Overall, having played games to test this headset against my Corsair headset I definitely like the feedback that this headset provides over the ones that don't have that, it just makes the whole experience that much more intense when playing FPS games or games that really take advantage of surround and the feel of the game. These are definitely worth an upgrade if you're looking to add to the intensity of the experience of playing some games.

Great humidifier!
on November 10, 2021
Posted by: btb2k
from Salt Lake City, UT
This humidifier is a great solid machine and does exactly what it should. It's super quiet and puts out a ton of vapor that actually goes into the air and not just on the floor or table around it as other machines I've tried tend to do.
It's adjustable and has the added bonus of lights you can turn on for the water tank in three different colors (red, green, or blue) - which looks amazing at night, and adds to the comfort in a room. It also has an adjustment knob to control how much vapor is release and has a sensor to auto-shut off when it runs out of water.
I have a smaller version of this machine that I have on my desk that I've had for more than a year now and have NEVER had any issues with it. This machine works just as good as the small one and the warranty is outstanding. That said, I would HIGHLY recommend purchasing the gallon jugs of DISTILLED water to use in this machine (or any other cool mist humidifier for that matter). If you don't, you'll almost certainly get that white dust on stuff (especially if your water is hard) and even if not it will lead to the machine getting dirty or worse grow bacteria and start to smell and be difficult to clean. Using distilled water is a pain but definitely ensures you avoid all that hassle. After using it for a while, follow the cleaning instructions periodically and never let it sit unused with water in the tank for any extended period of time!
What would put this machine over the top is if it had a humidity sensor accessory that you could put in the room to monitor how much humidity is going in to the room. In some situations too much humidity is bad and will cause condensation on walls, and windows which could lead to mildew or mold so it would be nice if a machine like this had a way to monitor the room. It would also be great if it had a timer you could set to turn off or on at a set time (or control via an app on WiFi and customize the colors). If you're looking for a humidifier that has all those features unfortunately this is not the machine.
Even without those features, this machine is great, it's simple to use and functions well. In addition it looks great in any room just about anywhere in the room (though I would not recommend sitting it in a window because the light will cause bacteria and algae over time). Overall, because of the warranty, the aesthetic look and simple operation I'd definitely recommend this machine.

Solid WiFi NVR for home security
on November 3, 2021
Posted by: btb2k
from Salt Lake City, UT
This NVR is an overall solid machine that's heavily focused on privacy. It also offers solid security with excellent video quality both day and night time.
When purchasing this system a key thing to keep in mind is where you want to place the 4 wireless cameras and where you can get to power to plug power in for them easily. They come with power cords that are about 9 feet long but when using them outside, you might not have a plug nearby so you'll have to find extension cables online if you run into this issue as I did. That said, it's far easier to run and hide the power cord than it is to run the cord through walls to the NVR box as you would with other wired systems! I was actually surprised to learn when setting this system up that it supports more than the 4 cameras it comes with which is another bonus to consider when looking at this system!
For the setup, it's really very easy, and anyone should be able to do it without any professional help. Pairing cameras is easy and doesn't require you to have the NVR setup with a TV or monitor which is a huge improvement over other similar systems.
For the cameras themselves, they look good and work great! The picture quality is excellent and the mounts make it easy to position them the way you want. The WiFi signal works good for my home and they were all able to connect.
My only complaint so far is there is a lot of lag in time between what you see on the app in live mode vs what is happening live. A feature is that you should be able to have two-way audio and while it does work, the lag that you get with it being WiFi and using it on your phone makes it impractical to use in that manner. There are many factors that could cause this issue and it could be just my setup - everything from how far the cameras are from the NVR to your internet speed, network setup, phone carrier when accessing it remotely and so on. I will say there's even a some lag when using it locally when using it with Google Home to view on a TV/Home Speaker with display - it works but the lag is noticeable. That said, even my Google Nest doorbell camera has some lag too so it likely it's just because they are wireless.
For the NVR itself, I like that it works with Google Home and the app and interface works actually quite well. The smart detection features work fairly well but I wouldn't say it's perfect and like most systems you can customize how the system records based on detection events and so on. The spotlights work great too and are a good alternative to have to motion lights in the back yard. I have a Google doorbell and it's actually better at identifying people with packages and cars than this system is but unlike this system it requires a paid subscription and transmits video to the internet for recording/analysis. That said, the smart identification does work surprisingly well and the Google system is far from perfect and missed packages/people all the time too (which is frustrating because it's a PAID service).
In terms of privacy and security, I think this system is top notch. No other system I have or have tried records and analyzes events locally and requires two factor authentication to access it. Just as important, you get a good system with lots of storage for video that's private and doesn't cost anything in terms of subscription fees. I would definitely consider this system over many others like Arlo, Amazon Ring, and the Google Nest cameras because of privacy and the fact there are no monthly fees with basically some of the same features. I didn't know it until setting this system up but Night Owl does have a doorbell so I am actually considering ditching my Google Nest doorbell for a Night Owl doorbell to have it all in the same system with NO FEES and better privacy.
I'd definitely recommend this system, it's been by far the easiest to setup out of any that I have setup, and some of the security features like 2FA (two factor authentication) make it a winner.

Awesome blender!
on October 26, 2021
Posted by: btb2k
from Salt Lake City, UT
I'm very impressed with this blender where the cups are actually decent cups that you can use on the go! This blender has plenty of power and makes excellent smoothies and shakes with more than enough power to crush ice and finely blend fruits/veggies. In addition, because you're blending in the cup you'll take to go it's easy to clean up. I've been using it in the mornings and tried some of the included recipes which was great. It doesn't take up much room in the cabinet so storage is simple. I've been using it in the mornings with my espresso machine to make my own Frappuccino's to go and in less time than it would take to run to Starbucks to get one! So, if you're looking for that at home, look no further, simply get one of these and an espresso machine. I'd definitely recommend this machine!

Good concept but hard to clean
on October 26, 2021
Posted by: btb2k
from Salt Lake City, UT
I've want to really like this Ninja Foodi where it has everything in one lid which makes it super convenient but is honestly a pain to clean the inside of the lid after pressure cooking or after air frying certain foods.
I can say that on a positive note the appliance works great and does what it says where you can air fry, pressure cook, slow cook, sear/sauté and more with it. The controls are super easy to use and make it easy to program so you can just set it and go. With the programming it certainly does some unique things with the steam/crisp and cook while crisping which is not something you can do with other machines and saves time by eliminating additional cook time/steps. For that, I would definitely say this machine excels in all of those areas and would be one I'd recommend for that reason only.
The non-stick pan and rack is very easy to clean but the lid with the seal is a entirely different story because it's integrated and not removeable! In addition, there is a grill that I can't see how you can move/remove to clean the top thoroughly. Because of that and having used it for some time I can say that really prefer my old Foodi over this one because it was a bunch easier to clean so any time you saved cooking you'll lose in trying to clean it up (depending on what you cooked in it of course). In terms of how this machine looks and sits, it's HUGE and takes up a lot of space on my counter and because it sits high you have to watch where the steam releases as on my counter it shoots right up to the under cabinet lighting.
I'd recommend it for it's unique time saving/cooking modes, but I don't recommend it you are looking for something that's always a cinch to clean or if you have low cabinets you may not be able to fit it under them on your countertop.

AWESOME COFFEE MACHINE!
on October 17, 2021
Posted by: btb2k
from Salt Lake City, UT
I am impressed with this machine, it looks modern, comes with a reusable travel mug to take on the go and fits most mugs. It's served up a perfect cup each time I've used it so far and saves me time in the mornings and is much more economical to use than my Keurig as I can control the strength of the brew by grinding my own coffee and measuring to what I prefer. The gold basket makes it easy to clean and filters the way I like it so you don't need to buy any filters. I'd say this is a great alternative to a Keurig, especially if you like to just grab a cup and go or make iced coffee (like what McDonald's has, except I make my own better now!).
I'd very much recommend this machine, it'd be a perfect gift for the coffee lover you know and because it's small would fit just about anywhere. Great machine!

It works and does make tuning signals easier
on October 17, 2021
Posted by: btb2k
from Salt Lake City, UT
Initial impressions of this antenna weren't that great considering all of the parts were just loose in the box. In fact, I was worried some parts were missing or broken but in the end nothing was missing and I was able to assemble the antenna so everything works. I could see this being an issue if a package was opened so if you buy one I would first check to make sure all of the parts are there before you go to assemble it.
Once I figured out how it went together, putting it up was fairly straight forward with most of the work being the time it took to run the coax. The electronic movement does make it easier to adjust the antenna and it does work. I'd say the key thing I liked the most more than the feature of it being able to move is the size/look once installed is a lot better than other antennas.
In terms of signal strength, I didn't see a ton of difference (at least where I live in a rural area) other than two channels were more stable than what they were with my indoor antenna which could just be that I was able to get a better signal with an antenna being mounted outdoors and able to be moved to fine tune the signal. In all, I'd recommend it but knock it a star for the quality of packaging and the product itself seems made in a way that makes me question how long it will last and continue to work. I anticipate it will last but I definitely think that it could have been built and packaged better.

A great alternative to airpods/beats!
on October 8, 2021
Posted by: btb2k
from Salt Lake City, UT
This is an absolutely great sounding pair of headphones with tips that make them stay in and comfortable to wear for long periods. In addition they have noise cancelling technology that works really well to adapt to the common background noises that they actively filter out.
What I have liked most is the battery life as I've had a chance to really put them through the paces at work, and I like how good they sound. For the battery life, I was able to go a whole week without charging the case and easily a day of off an on listening without fully charging the earbuds themselves. I'm actually surprised they do last longer than my airpods and blow the airpods charger case out of the water in terms of how many times they can recharge the buds before it needs to be charged. I've really wanted a good alternative to my airpods since everything I own uses a USB-C charger and not something proprietary like the now dated lightning adapter which is a huge plus. They do come with a USB cable so you can charge them with any standard USB charger or USB port.
In terms of look and feel, the case they are in looks great and has a nice feel to it making them look/feel more premium. The earbuds themselves look good but are slim and look good to wear.
They are really easy to pair and use with touch sensors for different functions. The app you can download lets you update them and customize them but it's not required for them to work.
Anker has been making some great mobile products and these are definitely no exception. Overall, these are great and I'd absolutely recommend them.

Tiny, wireless Sleepbuds II are designed for comfort with sleep technology clinically proven to help you fall asleep faster.

Or, use Bose noise-masking sounds to cover unwanted nighttime noise. Download your favorite sounds directly to Sleepbuds II, control volume, and set a personal wake-up alarm.

Get up to ten hours of battery life from a single charge, enough for a full night’s sleep — and three additional charges from the portable case.
 

If I use these and they truly block out all sounds, does it come with an alarm built in the app? I don't wanna have my alarm clock set and not hear it due to me wearing these through the night

Yes, for me they blocked out sounds especially when playing the sound clips.. they do have a built-in alarm that you can set.

Find the best fishing spots with this PowerDolphin Wizard water drone. The included PowerSeeker gives you data on water conditions, and the BaitBox function lets you drop bait to attract fish. This PowerDolphin Wizard water drone has a 4K UHD camera that captures stunning footage and quickly switches between above and underwater modes.
 

How deep can this go underwater. The add says the “SONAR” can detect up to 230 ft but nothing is stated about how deep the drone itself can go.

This one is not really designed for going and staying underwater though it can be submerged.:. it’s mostly designed to work on the surface though can skip under the surface and drop the camera under the surface to see below the drone. PowerVision has another drone that is designed for complete underwater use though.

Ninja Foodi's TenderCrisp pressure cooker allows you to achieve all the quick cooking and tenderizing wonders that you love about pressure cookers. The Foodi's Crisping Lid allows you to air fry, bake/roast, and broil. That means you can give your tender, juicy pressure-cooked meals a golden, crispy finish. The secret is TenderCrisp Technology, which produces the perfect combination of heat, fan velocity, and air circulation to give your food even crisping from top to bottom.
 

Does this pressure cooker air crisper combo item use silicone rings ? I hear the Rings hold smells and are almost impossible to get stains out of them .

It is a silicone ring that seals it. The manual states that you must keep the ring clean by removing and cleaning the ring AND lid after each time you use it or that there may be a risk it holding smells. Both the ring and lid should not be washed in the dishwasher of course!! So far, I have not noticed any stains or smells after using it while pressure cooking with really intense seasonings like rosemary, celery, and onions/garlic, and I've thoroughly cleaned the seal and appliance every time after each use as the manual states. My recommendation is going to be follow what it says in the manual and you should be okay. In terms of stains, I wouldn't rule them out from being possible to happen in the right conditions though I can't imagine it affecting anything. My thoughts on that are that the only reason you wouldn't ever see it on other kinds of seals is because the seal itself is black or another color but in terms of stains on the one i have, I've seen none so far!

does this have 3d pass through

It supports HDMI 2.0, and allows 4k passthru. 3D is supported in HDMI standard 1.4 and above so I would say yes it does.

Air is the new oil, and now with the Philips Airfryer you can use that air to fry in a healthier way with up to 75% less fat! Thanks to Philips unique TurboStar™ technology, all food is exposed to constant, circulating heat allowing you to cook your favorite foods with a tablespoon or less of oil. The result is evenly fried food – with no turning or shaking needed. Preset meals on the digital Airfryer allow you to cook your favorite recipes at the touch of a button.
 

Does the Phillips AirFryer 9621/96 have a stainless steel basket?

It does not appear to be just plain stainless (i'm sure because food would stick to it as it fries in the Air Fryer). It appears to be a non-stick metal basket, and is NOT safe to wash in the dishwasher. It has to be hand washed but I've never had any difficultly with cleaning it.
