Perfect for gaming and Photo/Video Editing!
on June 21, 2018

This monitor provides an excellent response time, great color accuracy, numerous options for customization, easy setup, and flexibility! The base not only swivels to suit your needs but allows you to rotate the screen and adjust the height! The only real drawback I've noticed comes from the speakers, they're nothing to brag about but they do give you some sound. Chances are, if you're using this monitor for gaming, movies, and/or video editing... you'll have a different sound system and won't be using the built-in speakers. Overall, great monitor that offers excellent flexibility!

Big screen, tiny bezels!
on May 14, 2018
Posted by: Mike
from Milwaukee, WI
This TV fits perfectly for my living room setup, the ultra-thin bezels make the set disappear into the background bringing a better focus on what's on the screen instead of what's around the screen. Sharp, clear, accurate picture with deep blacks that will leave you impressed! The smart features are easy to set up and use, the included remote works as a cursor on the screen for point and click functionality. One of the easiest TVs to set up and use I've ever experienced! The base can be a hassle if you don't have room to lay the set down but, if you can, move some furniture before opening to box to leave plenty of work room. Overall, fantastic set for sports and movies! Highly recommended!

Smart, effective, well worth the price!

I've been using this toothbrush for two week now and the results have been incredible! I previously had a Philips Sonicare that was a little less feature heavy and within the first few days was able to notice a sizable difference in the cleaning efficiency. The companion app and in-handle features that guide you to a better and healthier clean are well worth the cost of the brush. It also comes with a variety of smart brushing heads that are automatically tracked through the app to give you an in-depth look at how much longer they'll last. The higher cost also includes multiples of these, so that offsets it a bit. You can also sign up for a program within the app that will sync with your dentists results, optimize your cleaning experience, and track what has been done and how well it was accomplished. The only drawback is with the initial firmware update that was ready to install upon opening the box is the instructions are vary vague, my advice (and seemingly the only way to install the update) is to use your toothbrush once before attempting and that seems to fix that issue. Aside from that, this product has been incredibly amazing!

Larger than expected but great results!
on April 9, 2018

When the Mohu Sail antenna arrived it was much larger than I had expected, that's mostly on me for overlooking the dimensions! Still a very manageable size for indoor use and perfect for being mounted outdoors or in an attic. My placement options were a little limited being in an apartment but it fits perfect in our utility closet located on an exterior wall but, you could still easily hide this behind a TV. We previously had issues with receiving certain channels that were further away because of physical interference of walls and floors inside an apartment building with smaller antennas but this solved all of those! We gained 15 more channels and were able to link this into the cable connections to get to all of our TVs! It comes with an amplifier to further improve signal quality. With the amplifier, we gained 15 channels and without the amplifier still managed to grab about 5 more! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who's been having some issues receiving all their available local channels!

Great, if you mostly use SlingTV
on February 23, 2018
Posted by: Mike
from Milwaukee, WI
This set top box is an excellent alternative to traditional cable TV and incorporates SlingTV perfectly. The only real down side I noticed is with the integration of broadcast channels, the tuner in my TV and many others can receive channel information and display it but this system only shows the channel logo and name in the lineup with SlingTV channels. It would be great to be able to have the current program displayed as well when looking for what to watch without having to tune to that channel, maybe they'll integrate a channel guide at some point. That is currently the only real downside I've seen. Outside of SlingTV and broadcast channels, this system works like more Android powered streaming boxes, easy to use and set up. Kind of a goofy remote at first but, after you use it with SlingTV it becomes abundantly clear why it's laid out the way it is. For the price, I'd still recommend a Roku Premier but, the soon to come OTA DVR will be a great addition!

Great addition to the Hue line up!

The Hue Ambiance White adds the ability to change the color temperature of your lighting to suit you preference, comfort level, and mood! When paired with the Hue Hub, you are able to set up different scenes and settings with these lights. The most notable one is the "Go to sleep" and "Wake up" settings, these adjust the light gradually to assist in putting you to sleep and waking you up in a more natural way. Both of these function has left me more awake and alert, a huge benefit to have by just changing out the lights! They also integrate very nicely with Google Home/Assistant in offering a convenient way to bring lighting into you smart home!

Better than the rest!

The JBL Link 20 is an extremely capable Bluetooth speaker, one of the (if not THE) best Google Home products, and IT CAN COME WITH YOU!!! Yes, you read that right! It is a fully wireless Bluetooth speaker AND Google Home Assistant! Great battery life, looks great in the open but small enough to be hidden away if you'd like, very light weight, and completely wireless! This speaker and it's built in Google Assistant can come with you where ever you may go around the house, from reciting recipes in the kitchen to playing music in the back yard perfectly! I would highly recommend it for those looking for a solid hub of their smart home experience!

Excellent choice for runners!

These headphones work fantastic for running and other highly mobile sports! They learn and adapt to the shape of your head and where you keep your phone. Setup is quick and easy, with very clear instructions in the box. Comes with the charging case for both carrying and keeping them charged up and ready for use! Good sound, not the greatest but very good for small earbuds!

Great for beginners and everyday picture takers!

This combo pack gives you everything you need to start enhancing your pictures and videos! Definitely a great set of tools to learn the art of Photoshop and for use at home. The combo pack comes with a DVD to install each program, the serial numbers also allow you to download them instead! This is especially important for those who do not have a DVD drive or wish to use on a windows tablet. This is not the option for professionals or those looking for the full suite of professional tools offered by higher tiers of Photoshop. I would highly recommend for this for the amateur photographers or those who enjoy editing photos and videos.

Screen is amazing!

The biggest pro to this smart thermostat is the large touchscreen interface! I have a Nest set up in a different area and the two work very similarly, but the Honeywell's screen and ease of use is what sets it apart. The app is easy to learn and the thermostat overall looks great, definitely not the ultra-modern style of Nest but much more contemporary.

Does this support the same wiring configurations as the Nest 3rd gen? I live in an apartment and cannot run extra wiring for the HVAC system.
Yes, it does. I would double check the compatibility on Honeywell's website but I went from Nest to this as well (in an apartment too) and it was a smooth transition.
My system has Central air, forced air gas furnace, and a central fan (4 wires with the ground, looks identical to your picture).

Only at Best BuyBring flexibility to work with the powerful and versatile Samsung Notebook 9 Pro. Easily switch between typing on the keyboard, writing with the intuitive S Pen, and navigating the brilliant touchscreen. And do it all at once with an ultra-fast Intel® Core™ i7 processor. The Samsung Notebook 9 Pro keeps up with all the ways you work.
Is the screen anti-glare/matte display?
Daniel, the screen is not matte but compared to other touchscreen systems the glare is not terrible. Any kind of direct light, as with most touchscreens, will cause glare but this is mitigated on the Notebook 9 Pro by having an easily accessed "Outdoor" mode. The outdoor mode will decrease battery life substantially as it combats the sunlight and glare with a much higher brightness level!

Get rid of unwanted hair with this Venus Silk-expert IPL hair remover. This pulsed-light hair removal system has a gentle mode that removes hair just as effectively, but with a lower energy level for sensitive skin. This Venus Silk-expert IPL can treat larger body parts such as arms and legs in roughly eight minutes.
Does it work on dark and coarse hair?
It most definitely does! It does come with a bottle of trimmer oil to keep it lubricated which is very important for coarse hair to allow the trimmer to cut through effortlessly. It does not come with a brush but the trimming heads are very easy to clean!
