Massage therapist in a box
on September 12, 2019
Posted by: DavidJr
from Roanoke, VA
I had surgery on my foot over a year ago and haven’t had normal sensation throughout my foot and leg since then. Within days of using the Theragun G3 my foot already feels drastically different. Upon first use, it really took some getting used to because it felt like it hurt, but it was like sensory overload. I’ve been using it for a few minutes multiple times each day on my foot and other various sore spots. It is surprising the difference it makes within a few seconds.
I thought it was kind of odd that they advertised the handle, because it doesn’t look like much to it. Then I realized as I tried to reach other parts of my body, that the triangle allows it to be held in different angles. Unlike other massage guns, which only have a 90 degree handle, the G3 makes it easy to get harder to reach areas. Like the fact that I can do the major areas of my back on my own.
The included directions are very limited, however, getting the Theragun phone app helps explain a lot more. There are pictures to show patterns for specific treatments and some tips, but for the most part it still leaves it up to the individual to find what works for them. Even the included heads have general uses, but comes down to what works best in your situation. The battery says it lasts up to 60 minutes per charge, but considering how you can get relief in seconds, it makes it seem like it lasts so much longer.
The included case helps keep everything together, but is kind of large. It does a fair job of preventing the device from accidentally being turned on if you decide to pack it in your luggage. Just make sure nothing is directly poking where the power button is.

Better than most 40" TV speakers
on August 27, 2019

This sound bar is super easy to set up and sounds pretty decent. Which is a good thing since the included “Simple Manual” is super simple. Reasonable deduction led me to figuring out what the plastic things with stickers were, the elevated feet. If you want to know more about the device, like how to disable the auto power off and that there is an app for additional settings, Music Flow Bluetooth, go to the LG support page.
This soundbar is limited with inputs of optical, Bluetooth and USB so any other input methods must go through your TV. The optical cable is included and is the best option for connection. If you have a recent LG TV it can use LG TV Sync over optical or Bluetooth. It was instantly recognized on my 2016 TV and controls the volume of the TV, but every time I change the speaker function to something else, it changes the TV settings to internal and then asks to turn it back when returned. Bluetooth is the same way, completely turned off the moment the function is changed, so you have to reconnect any device that was using it. The USB port allows you to plug in a thumb drive and play music directly and I was surprised at just how quick it loads MP3 files. I don’t think my PC even loads them that fast.
The LCD display on the front only displays 5 characters, but provides enough info even if it requires it to scroll by, like the filename of an MP3. It’s bright enough to see in a well lit room and dims where it is barely noticeable in a dark room after 15 seconds.
Though not listed on the Best Buy page, the dimensions are about the width of a 40” TV at 35.1" x 2.3" x 3.4", this is without the extended feet, wall brackets or power cord. The power cord isn’t recessed in any way, so it makes it about 3.75” deep and the extended feet help raise it above a thin TV plate, giving it about 0.75” clearance making it about 3” tall. The wall brackets are just a bit longer to allow for room to run the cables but you need your own screws to install in a wall. The subwoofer is 6.8" x 15.4" x 10.3" and only needs power, so can be hidden behind a couch or table. It has an interesting black carbon fiber laminate on the box and cloth front. Sometimes when first turning on, there is a delay of about 30 seconds for the subwoofer to kick on. Kind of a thing with anything wireless though.
Sold separately, you can add the SPK8-S two channel wireless rear speakers for added surround. However, I do not have those to test out and curious as there is a setting to turn off the surround sound which allows for original sound. So by default it is filling sound to the rear speakers, but disabling it will provide the true cinema sound if available.
Overall, not a bad speaker system, as it is better than most built in TV sound systems. However, I feel there's still room for improvements.

Nice snug fit and easy grip.
on August 23, 2019
Posted by: DavidJr
from Roanoke, VA
The grip on this case really helps it feel safer in your hand, but isnt a soft rubber like material that it can’t slide into your pocket like some other grip cases. The raised bezel is just enough to prevent the face of the phone from landing on a flat surface, but not so much that it makes the phone feel gawdy thick. The phone feels well protected and with the snug fit it’s not going to pop out like some cheap cases do. It says it is rated for 10ft, but I didn’t test that theory, just in case. It’s also still thin enough to still work with wireless charging.

Long lasting, truly wireless
on August 14, 2019
Posted by: DavidJr
from Roanoke, VA
Truly wireless, small profile, decent audio quality and long battery life, uncommon to get all of that is truly wireless earbuds. Most I have tried usually last maybe a couple hours or if they did last longer had a cylinder sticking out of your ear. The Jaybird Vista is simple to connect with one button on the case and standard Bluetooth connection. Sound quality by default is pretty decent, but I found it best when I installed the Jaybird app and used the equalizer. After using the “Discover more presets” option I was able to find exactly the sound I was looking for. Surprisingly low bass and range for such small earbuds.
I used these for several hours this weekend while doing some strenuous yard work and with all the sweat and activity they stayed in place. One thing that may be of concern for some out exercising is that these provide a decent amount of passive noise isolation. Meaning with music playing, you aren’t going to hear much of your surroundings. So, for me this weekend they actually acted as noise protection from the lawn equipment.
The only interaction these earbuds have is a single button that by default you click once for play/pause or call answer, twice for skip or ignore call or long hold for power off. However, you can change the clicks to be the voice assistant of your phone or some other custom commands for Spotify. I found the pressure needed to press the buttons a little excessive as they push the earbud into your ear a bit more. The only thing that would make them better is a touch sensitive button.
You can use the earbuds individually if you want to extend your battery life even more. For instance, when you get the 20% audio warning, take one out and throw it in the case till you run the other one dead, then swap out and keep going. With about 6 hours on a single full charge you can make these last more than a day with one at a time.

Decent sized with analog timer
on August 8, 2019
Posted by: DavidJr
from Roanoke, VA
Air fryers are pretty awesome, providing the crispy frying capability without all of the oil and mess. However, the ones that still use a basket like this one have a slight disadvantage since items tend to float around in oil and fry on all sides. When in the air fryer, if layered, you will have to stir, flip or shake them occasionally to ensure an even fry, such as a decent amount of fries. Even though this has a large 3.7qt/3.5L, it is still recommended to keep the layering of items down for best consistency. Even the recommended sizes and cooking times are on average for 2-3 servings.
Overall though, the Chefman Turbofry Air Fryer has fried everything I have thrown in it with a clean crispness and consistency. I do find this model a little dated with the simple 2 dial system that uses a basic analog timer. However, I know there are some that prefer that style. I personally like to know that the timer is exactly 18 minutes and not just roughly past the dot between 10 and 20, same goes for remaining time. But, this one is bigger, longer timer and cheaper than an older model Chefman Analog air fryer.

Experience absolute audio immersion with the A50 Wireless + Base Station.
Posted by: DavidJr
from Roanoke, VA
The new Astro A50 isn’t much different from the 3rd generation, but there are some changes. The audio is clear and refined, they work with Dolby Atmos, I haven’t had any of the disconnect issues I had with Gen 3 and the base station is slightly changed for a marginally better charging stand.
Upon first use, I was concerned on how low the volume was, even with all the volume settings maxed out. You will find there is a mixer control on the right ear panel that changes volume level between voice and game that makes a difference. However, the real game changer for me was when I used ASTRO Command Center settings. Though the Command Center requires a PC to use it, I feel it is essential to get the best out of these headphones.
Through the ASTRO Command Center you can select from the pre-installed equalizer presets, slightly tune them yourself or go into the advanced settings and really fine tune the sound. However, through advanced settings I found that you can really mess up the sound if you don’t know what you’re doing. The best option was when I went to Reddit r/AstroGaming and found the user made presets. Through the subreddit there were a good selection of other presets that put the sound where I was looking for. Once these presets are synced to the device, you can move it back over to the Xbox and enjoy the same sound. You can also use three different presets for your gaming preference which can easily be switched by the press of a button. The selected preset is noted by an audible beep and by a number on the base station. Some other settings in the Command Center include EQ settings, noise gate level and sidetone level for the microphone as well as level settings for the stream port of the base station.
The large foam earpads are comfortable for long term use and avoid touching my huge ears. A separate mod kit is available for the synthetic leather and the previous generation is not compatible. The battery lasts about 15 hours for straight play time, but they also have an auto-power off when they are set down to help extend their life during any down time, which isn’t adjustable. There is also a micro-USB port that you can use to directly charge them if you must keep going.
The other button on the headset cycles between straight audio and Dolby Audio, however, this is not the same as the Dolby Atmos audio that can be enabled on Xbox and PC. The Dolby button uses Pro-logic that simulates a surround sound where there is not sound. So, in game having this feature enabled can really mess things up because when you are listening for directional sound it might simulate it around you. The best option is to enable Dolby Atmos with the included code and leave the headset in the straight mode, which is noted by a star on the base station.
Some minor annoyances I have is the fact that you really must connect this to a computer to make the most of it. Even changing the side tone of the mic could have been built in instead of the app. Also, if you want the latest version of the application, your best bet is to go through the Windows Store and not their own support site. Another thing is the volume knob is continuous, there is no indication of max or min as it just keeps spinning. The Voice/Game setting gives a tone when it reaches one extreme or the other, but not volume. I’m also a little upset that the 3rd generation mod kit won’t fit this generation. The only thing different is the slight variation in shape so they won’t work. Though slightly better, the same issue I had with the 3rd generation was the base station charging, it is still a pain to get right every time. The headphones feel like they lock in from the magnets, but then the base station starts flashing like it is in panic mode. It requires a little shake of the headset to try and get the exact contact so that they properly charge. After a few tries the lights will blink individually showing it’s level and that it is charging.
I also feel they should offer more for their asking price. The fact it is cloth earpads and they up charge even more for the leather like material when other cheaper sets come with them by default. There are other wireless headsets that also offer different connectivity, such as Bluetooth and have longer battery life. Even cheap headsets offer an easier switch between Xbox and PC than this one does. Besides the changes mentioned above, I really don’t see a true generation change here. It is more like Generation 3.5 which adds Dolby Atmos support.

Quality headphones for USB and 3.5mm
on August 1, 2019
Posted by: DavidJr
from Roanoke, VA
Just to get this out front, the only reason these are “For Windows” is because of the Pro feature that requires the USB digital audio converter (DAC). This is what gives the special equalizer and acoustic settings through the Logitech G Hub. The settings once saved only apply to the USB DAC, not the headset and will work with any headphones. This USB device can then be moved from system to system retaining the EQ settings you saved to it. However, these have a standard 4 pin 3.5mm wire that makes it so it can be used in anything that has a standard headphone jack. So it works just fine in Xbox and Playstation controllers as well as a cell phone. The only thing is, the EQ settings remain on the USB DAC.
As for the headphones themselves, they have a really nice microsuede memory foam padding and large earcups that provide a decent amount of passive noise isolation without touching your ears. The frequency range on these is nice, with ear tickling lows and crisp highs. I found the sound to be a little more refined using the Logitech G Hub to get the sound I prefered on the PC, but had to use other means on other devices.
The 2m (6.5ft) long braided cord gives you plenty of room for PCs that might be under a desk, but a bit excessive when using something like a controller. It has inline volume and mic mute controls which can be clipped to your shirt for easy access. It also comes with a split cable for computers that have a seperate mic and headphone output, which is also the same braided material. The microphone is flexible and removable, so you don’t have to have it on all the time.
Comparing these directly with another pair of gaming headphones, by only switching out the 3.5mm connection on the headset so everything else was the same, I found the Logitech G Pro had a broader sound range. With features like Dolby Atmos for headphones on PC and Xbox, having that clarity is what really helps the spatial audio.

Quick, sharp, black/grayscale prints
on July 15, 2019
Posted by: DavidJr
from Roanoke, VA
This is a simple ethernet or USB connected monochrome laserjet printer. Super fast printing which claims up to 40ppm. It is a matter of seconds from the time the computer spools it to the time in hand. Multiple page documents completed before most inkjet printers even get the first page out. However, it is single sided only with manual double sided requiring the user to place the documents back in tray 1.
Setup can be simple or complex, depending on how you want to manage the printer. If it is self managed it will use DHCP IP and basic default settings. If it is IT Managed you can get down to the fine details of how you want to use this printer and ensure it meets your security demands. All of the settings can be changed later through its IP web page. The web interface allows for most of the advanced configuration. This includes access lists, firewall rules, security certificates, syslog connection and enabling/disabling certain web features such as AirPrint and Google Cloud Print. It also provides usage details, ink levels and tools in case of print quality issues.
Once it was identified on my network I used the default Windows 10 drivers and the HP Smart app and have experienced a fair bit of delay in getting documents to spool to the printer. However, on a different computer I used the HP m404-m405 installation software first and had no delay. I ended up going back and removing the installed drivers under printer server properties and doing the HP install again and all works perfectly. The installation software requires diagnostic information to be collected, but that can later be disabled in the printer assistant software. During setup it also mentions that Wi-Fi Direct is enabled, even though the M404n does not include wireless.
Besides printing quickly, the black levels are sharp and detailed. Even sending full colored photos to it to print came out in a wide range or gray scale detail. If you are looking for a small quick black only quality printer, that you can customize to meet your security demands, then this is certainly a worthwhile contender.

Big screen gaming laptop, fairly small profile
on July 10, 2019
Posted by: DavidJr
from Roanoke, VA
I’ve had several laptops over the years, from business to top of the line gaming and usually what I find is the higher the capability, the thicker and heavier they become. Tha Acer Nitro 5 is surprisingly light and thin for its capabilities. This has a 9th gen i5 quad core processor, 8GB RAM, 512GB WD PC SN520 NVMe SSD, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 with 4GB GDDR5 memory and a 17.3 inch IPS display. The available space on the M2 drive can get filled up quickly with modern games coming in at 60GB or more. However, this does have space for an additional M2 drive as well as a 2.5” drive and it comes with the screws and ribbon cable needed to install one. The only issue I had is that you have to take the entire plastic bottom off to access them and if you aren’t careful, it is easy to break the huge plastic piece.
I’ve played several newer games on this laptop and most of them defaulted with high or near high custom graphics settings and smoothly played around 60 frames per second at 1080. Out of curiosity I used the HDMI out to test 4K gaming capabilities and this is clearly not meant for that at about 20fps or less.
Running some benchmark tests, 3D Mark Time Spy and PC Mark 10, this laptop comes in just below their typical results of a gaming laptop but slightly above a VR minimum spec gaming PC, screenshots attached. So, with that, I had to give VR a try and hooked up my Samsung Odyssey+ Windows Mixed Reality headset and played VR for several hours. Besides some loading lag between games and the mixed reality home screen, everything played just as it would with my desktop PC. However, since this laptop is not listed as VR Ready and only has an HDMI port connected to the video card, that means the new VR systems that require Display Port won’t work and the USB-C appears to be connected to the motherboard’s Intel UHD 630. There are also only two USB 3.0 Type A ports.
There are some minor issues I have with the design. For example, the speakers, though fairly capable for a laptop, point downwards. On a desk this works nice and gives a full sound, but on your lap or any other non-hard surface the sound gets dampened. Another thing, the power plugs in the middle right side, making it awkward for all sorts of reasons. Since it is so far in, it makes the already short power cord feel shorter. The other thing to get used to is how they shifted the keyboard around to incorporate the power and NitroSense buttons into the layout. Also the keyboard back light by default times out every 30 seconds and if you don’t tap a key, you get this constant on/off of the back light. So check that setting under the gear icon in NitroSense.
As with any computer, be sure to get all of the latest drivers and updates before you start judging it. The Nvidia GeForce drivers were old but the Acer Care Center says it was all up to date. There is also a new BIOS version that everyone should check into as there is a vulnerability in the Intel Management Engine that the firmware addresses. After two weeks of use, my keyboard started acting up, part of the reason I discovered the firmware update. However, a quick turn around with Acer support and everything is back to normal. The report was that the keyboard needed reseating. Hopefully just a random occurrence.

This is by far one of the cheapest “high end” TVs I have ever had. Some of the features and settings in this TV I don’t even have in a TV that cost 10x as much. Some settings include individual color tuner under Picture > Calibration settings and an Audio only option if you want to listen to music without using the power for the screen. Also with this running Android TV, it easily connected with my Android phone and imported my account and network settings. Once connected it did need to run some updates, but had several of the typical media apps already installed. It even has its own buttons for Netflix, YouTube, Google PLay and VUDU on the remote.
This is my first Android TV, but I enjoyed the familiarity of Google, to include voice activated Google Assistant through the remote. There is a decent variety of apps available in the Google Play store, from video or music streaming to straight up video game playing. Some games will work with the remote, however several of them require a gamepad. I use the Steelseries Stratus XL and it easily connected via Bluetooth with the TV, which you can also connect a mouse, keyboard and headphones. The Play store is kind of limited though as you might look for your favorite phone game. However, being that this is running Android 8.0, you can find ways to install anything you want to. Although, the processing power of this TV is that of a mid to low end Android phone, so, even if you do get that one game installed, don’t expect it to run at it’s best. Also, there is only 4GB of storage available.
As for standard TV capabilities it has Four HDMI 2.0 ports all labeled as 4K @60HZ and one with ARC. It also has two USB ports, one with .5 amp max, the other at 1amp. It has standard Ant/Cable, Ethernet, Optical Digital Out, Red/White/Yellow Component input and a 3.5mm headphone jack. If you intend to use an HDR capable device, it will work on any HDMI port so long as you go into the TV Menu > Picture and change HDMI 2.0 Format from Standard to Enhanced.
Quality of the picture, with the right picture settings, looks colorful and detailed. However, I felt that it was a little dull, as in it could use more backlight brightness. However, it was still good enough for a well lit room, provided you sit directly in front of it. If you sit at any angle from this screen, everything appears washed out and even more dull. The full array backlighting works decently for low lit scenes, but the refresh of the screen appears slow with a bit of smearing in fast images. Also noticeable in a full bright screen is dimming in the corners.
Audio is loud and clear, but sounds tiny, as many low budget TVs sound. There are settings to help give a fuller sound depending on your preference, but all sounded tiny.
I have used this TV as a PC monitor and a gaming TV both in 4K HDR as well as streaming movies on Netflix in Dolby Vision and Youtube in HDR. With the Picture setting in HDR Game I didn’t notice any input lag. However, in high contrasting motion there is a blur effect that is noticeable, but not game breaking. If you don’t have it already, Netflix requires the upgraded 4K account to take advantage of Dolby Vision. The built in Youtube app had some dropped frames when watching 4K HDR content, but I think that is more of processing power of the Android system than the display as playing Youtube through my PC on the same video had no issues.
Overall, for the price, this is a feature rich TV that can be the center of entertainment while letting you take advantage of 4K HDR and Dolby Vision content. It has the likeness of a high end TV with the signs of budget TV.

Once you connect the Gear VR to the phone it starts a download for the software. There appears to be no other way to initiate the install. Once the Oculus software is installed, games and applications can be purchased through the application or from inside the store while wearing the device.

1 out of 5Need certain phones to use this.
By Donna
Wasn't told at time of purchase that certain phones were required to use this device. After purchase was when this was discovered. During this time we purchased a new home and was moving. After the move, tried to return the item because I didn't want to purchase a new phone. The only way the store would accept this return was to give me a gift card. I didn't want a gift card that I would most likely not use. Not happy with this policy at all. Also have made posts to FB in regards to your policy. I will not EVER enter your store again or make another purchase from you online. This is NOT how you treat a customer and expect more business from them.

Upgrade your home office with this Dell Inspiron desktop. Its Intel Core i7 processor and 12GB of RAM let you multitask seamlessly, and the 1TB hard drive offers plenty of storage for photos and games. This Dell Inspiron desktop has a 27-inch FHD wide-angle touch screen display for watching your favorite videos.
Has anyone played any games on this unit ? I know it’s not a gaming system , however just wondering if anyone has tried any games.
For an example, I tried to play Battlefield V, which I was surprised that it loaded, but quickly crashes. I kind of expected this as their minimum requirements are for a higher graphics card, which this one has an integrated Intel UHD 630. Games like Sims 4 and other less intensive games work just fine. With the HDMI input, you can always just hook up a PS/Xbox.

Listen to your TV or music wirelessly without disturbing others.
Can you have 2 sets of headphones working on the same tv ?
You cannot pair another pair of headphones with the base station. However, you could use a second set with the RCA cables. There is an IN and OUT on the base station, so you could essentially take the audio from your device, like a TV, to one base station using RCA cables and OUT to the the IN of the other base station.

Samsung's website indicates this TV comes with "OneRemote" technology that automatically detects and controls your connected devices and content with no manual programming required. What are the limitations? What types of devices does this work with?
The One Remote will automatically work with devices that it identifies through HDMI, especially other Samsung products. However, if it does not recognize the device and gives a generic device, you can manually set it to possibly provide some functionality. Most common cable/satellite boxes, all in one sound systems, media players and DVD/Blu-ray players will get basic functionality such as volume, play/pause while some use the colored button function.
