A nice 4K mini led tv, with limited viewing angles
on April 17, 2024
Posted by: Todd
This in my opinion a great TV for a bedroom or room where everyone watching it sits directly in front of the TV, as the more off angle you view the TV the worse the picture becomes since the panel is VA.
I gave this 55" mini led tv installed on my wall in my master bedroom, and I sit about 12' away from it directly in front of it, and it looks beautiful. If I sit in my recliner, in my bay window about 5' of to the side the picture is washed out leaving the colors dull and the picture lifeless.
This mini led 4k tv with full array local dimming can get super bright, day or night. I do not use the ambient light sensor as I like the picture to be as accurate as possible regardless of night or daytime viewing. I will say during nighttime usage this TV is a torch during bright scenes or shows. There is definitely some blooming during dark scenes around a bright object, although it's not what I'd consider distracting.
If your watching this tv straight ahead you will not be disappointed for the price. The tv has 4 HDMI inputs, 2 capable of 4k 60 hz for a 4k Blu-ray player or streaming device, and 2 capable of 4k 120 hz for say a PS5 or Xbox X. Plenty of HDMI inputs if your not using a avr with this tv.
The built in speakers and small sub on this U8N sound amazing for such a smaller tv, in my opinion it sounds as good if not better than using a separate sound bar and subwoofer. Watching Top gun Maverick in 4K on a 4K Blu-ray sounded incredible for a tvs built in speakers.
I would highly recommend getting this TV if you want want OLED colors on a mini led budget.

A great cordless shaver that can be used wet & dry
on April 10, 2024
Posted by: Todd
Always loved Norelco cordless shavers always reliable especially when you replace the blades yearly.
I've always been a fan of Norelco cordless shavers, especially ones that you can use in the shower or shaving your face when wet. They work great and always give a good shave whether you're doing touch up or shaving in the shower.
The shaver comes with the usual sideburn trimmer on the back as well as a carrying bag and a USB charging cable but no USB power brick, it seems norelco's following the smartphone industry removing the power brick.
Thankfully I have numerous Norelco trimmers and shavers so I have plenty of extra Norelco charging cables with a included power supply that work with this trimmer. This works great shaving dry or wet I've used it multiple times the blades are nice and sharp and get every hair leaving none behind, with its 5 axis turning head it gets in every spot on my neck and throat where I've had other cordless trimmers that have had issues are just a pain to use to get every single hair on your face and neck.
Hopefully this turns out to be a rigorous trimmer as my other norelco's having the past as I love to use them in the shower, I seem to get less razor burn that way versus shaving dry.

Great gaming laptop,with a killer OLED display.
on March 13, 2024
Posted by: Todd
Small footprint gaming laptop, especially compared to my 5 yr old Asus gaming laptop which was much thicker. Battery life is pretty good considering the fact it has a Intel 9 series CPU and 4090 GPU.
I love the beautiful colors the oled display has compared to my many other gaming laptops of the past with a led or lcd display. Which e\were always washed out, with terrible black. The oled display on this new Asus gaming laptop has some great colors and inky looking black levels.
I love playing fortnite on this PC, it obviously handles it with ease and makes the game look so good and smooth. I need to pickup a new Asus wireless gaming mouse now to pair with this beast of a laptop.
The battery life is pretty decent when I disable the lid led strip and dim down the display brightness level. I honestly wish this looked more like gaming laptops or old vs a apple laptop. I plan to add a extra 1 tb m.2 SSD for extra storage down the road. The included 1 tb m.2 will be enough for me for games and storage as well as os updates.
I definitely recommend this laptop to anyone looking for a great gaming laptop with a OLED display.

Very nice rechargeable rgb controller for Xbox.
on December 17, 2023
Posted by: Todd
I got this for my son to use with up his Xbox consoles. Works great with box the Xbox one S and Xbox Series X consoles. My one and only complaint about this wireless controller is it only works with the included USB dongle inserted into the charging base connected to the Xbox USB port. I wish it worked truly wirelessly with either of the Xbox consoles.
My son's favorite feature of this controller is the built in rgb on the front sides of the controller. He doesn't use the social media feature which is weird for a game controller. But this seems to do everything gaming related very well..
The built in rechargeable battery lasts for a full weekend for him which is nice. No more AA batteries to replace like in the OEM Xbox controllers. This to me seems slightly slimmer and sleeker than a standard Xbox controller.
The batteries do recharge fairly quick in my opinion. As my son seems to burn through batteries in his regular remote. To me the price is on the high side for a wireless controller, but I still recommend it.

Great looking and sound over the ear headphones.
on November 21, 2023
Posted by: Todd
I love the fit and finish of these over the ear headphones by Bowers & Wilkens. Not my favorite color by far, but the sound make the garrish color go away. These Bluetooth headphones paired simply with both my Samsung s22 ultra phone and my Samsung ta s9 ultra tablet. Both devices noticed the headphones before even searching for them.
The bulid quality of these headphones helps justify they're high price tag, the included matching carrying case is nice as well. I like that besides a usb-c to usb-c cable you also get a usb-c to 3.5mm cable for devices with a headphone jack.
I couldn't find any trailered sound options in the Music app by Bowers and Wilkens, I need to dive deeper into that option. As I feel these sound good but could be great with some minor tweaking in a eq app for the drivers.
The battery lasts long enough for three issues before needing to be charged, which is awesome. I find myself grabbing these over my sony 1000X4s. These really are comfortable with great sound to match.
If you have the extra cash I highly recommend giving these headphones a go.

Good photo editing software for PC.
on October 28, 2023
Posted by: Todd
I like this software for cleaning up photos and editing them. You can remove moles and blemishes from photos on your desktop window pc very easily with this Adobe software. There's so many different options as well. From making the photograph darker, brighter, adding and removing grain. Making the color cooler or warmer, just endless options for tweaking your perfect or not so perfect photo.
I really wish they offered a true editing app that works as the pc software does, last time the app was available was 2019 I believe. The app still works and is available just nothing new since. 2019.
I mainly use this on photos and portraits taken on mine and my wife's smartphones, as we almost never use our dslr camera anymore due to its bulkiness and extra accessories required for it to work it best. This photo editing software in my opinion is awesome and the best option for ametuer photo editors like myself.
I would highly recommend this PC photo editing software to anyone on the fence. Adobe is one of the best options in my opinion for photo editing, the price is fair as well.

A beast of a mixer.
on October 21, 2023
Posted by: Todd
This mixer is a beast, it weighs 48 pounds. When I brought it in off the porch I thought I might have mistakenly received two by mistake. I got this for my wife as she loves to make breads, and it looks like a high quality mixer for sure.
The auto sense is great for weighing out the contents of your mix. Everything included with this mixer is well made in my opinion except for the floppy thin plastic splatter cover. I do like how the bowl arms drop down for swapping out mixing attachments as well as for cleaning your mixing bowl.
This has multiple speed setting for easily mixing your ingredients of any dough your mixing for bread or rolls, that will easily power through it all without struggling. The Auto-Sense will tell you the exact weight of the ingredients in the mixers bowl.
If you have Alexa or Google assistant, you can connect this to your wifi and control things like the mixing speed while your hands are full baking a different dish. I'm not into cooking with smart devices, but for multitasking cooks I can see where this comes in handy.
This permanently resides on my counter as it very heavy to transport from a cabinet and to the counter.

A nice smartphone still with caveats...
on October 15, 2023
Posted by: Todd
I do like the look and power of the new pixel 8 pro with tensor 3 chip, however I miss the curved display. The curve just made the phone look more high end in my opinion vs the flat display.
I found as always switching over my Google account and details from my Samsung phone to the pixel 8 pro wirelessly was fast and simple without any issues. I'm shocked Google is still using a optical fingerprint reader vs the ultrasonic reader, but somehow managed to use facial recognition with the front facing selfie camera. The facial recognition works well except nighttime.
All the cameras take great looking photos as most all pixel phones have done over time. Night time shots look best and most natural to me vs iPhone or Samsung phones.
Battery life is really good on the pro for all-day use, charging is pretty fast whether using wired or wireless charging for me. Even though the pixel 8 pro has reverse wireless charging, inever useit or have the need to.
I used bothe the pixel watch 2 and galaxy watch 6 classic with the pixel 8 pro, I prefer the watch 6 classic for it larger size and better functionality for my needs over the pixel watch 2. I really like how well google assistant and Google home integration with the pixel 8 pro work within the Google ecosystem. From the pull down menu screens, to just simply saying "Hey Google"!
5G coverage for me on the T-Mobile network is pretty good for me with 8 pro. I usually get around 350-600gbps depending on my location. My experience with this phone has been really positive, I find all its features to be useful and easy to use.
One thing that I really like about the new pixel 8 pro was it's haptics, especially for phone calls. The new haptic motor is close to the iPhone that I've ever experienced with a Android phone. I've not heard one reviewer mention it yet, but it's definitely the best in any smartphone I've ever used. When I got my first phone call on the pixel 8pro, I was like " wow this phone really has some impressive haptics to it"!

Good smartwatch, more size options needed.
on October 15, 2023
Posted by: Todd
I tried so hard to like this pixel 2 smartwatch with LTE, my biggest issue with it is it's small and looks more like a toy than a smartwatch. Especially on a man's wrist, it looks so small. The pixel 2 works just fine as a smartwatch whether your checking the time, receiving a text or sending one, tracking your sleep or making a phone call on it. I just wish they made a larger option somewhere around 47mm-50mm.
I had no problems setting up this pixel watch 2 with my new pixel 8 pro phone. After initial setup and pairing of the watch to my phone there was a firmware update for the watch that I installed. I also had to setup a Fitbit account for the watch which was fast and simple. Wear OS 4 works and looks good on the pixel watch 2, in my opinion the pixel watch 2 is a pixel phone made for your wrist.
My lte model watch worked great when away from my phone for call and texts on the T-Mobile network, as well as updating apps on the watch via the playstore. No issues using this watch with LTE whatsoever for me.
Sleep tracking works great, and my favorite keeping track of my daily steps and heart rate. All work well via the Fitbit app. Notifications for my Google calendar events all synced from my phone easily to keep track of nicely.
I did not like the charging puck with its 4 contact points, I would rather have wireless charging built in like Samsung and apple watches do. Charging for the pixel watch 2 is slow and cumbersome with the charging puck.
Battery life, ugh battery life... It's terrible only a day, so this needs charging every single day, which is horrible. If your a medium to heavy user like me you may need to charges this watch 2x in a single day, which was a real downer. For me to reconsider the pixel watch as a real smartwatch contender Google needs to put a battery in it that will last a minimum of two days, and make a larger version of the watch. Please also bring back wireless charging like the first pixel watch had.

Best all around view from a doorbell camera.
on October 15, 2023
Posted by: Todd
I'll start out by saying I'm so impressed with the coverage of this Eufy E340 doorbell security camera. I've used and owned multiple doorbell security cameras, and this is by far the best option to not only see who's at the door but what was delivered as well.
Thanks to Eufy's dual camera setup, this allows you to see not only your guest or delivery driver, but the package that was left as well. As the second ground aimed camera allows you to clearly see your packages, for the perfect peace of mind.
The dual camera setup records up to 2K, which har great clarity to the footage to the day. Also infared at night with clarity for night time viewing. There's also LEDs for added light at the top and bottom cameras as well.
I connected this to my 2.4 GHZ wifi, via the Eufy Security App, which took me around 20 minutes for the install start to finish. You can adjust the area both cameras monitor for motion as well as how sensitive the cameras are as well, I left mine at the default setting of medium.
My favorite part of this Eufy doorbell camera is it has local storage internally, so there's no need to pay extra for cloud storage like most doorbell cameras on the market today. This model has 8GB built in for storage which should be more than enough for footage storage up to a week or more.
Install is very simple and straightforward using hand tools for me since I previously had a Arlo video doorbell installed. At most you'll need a drill for making a new hole to mount the doorbell on its bracket, only 2 holes required, and this uses your original wires from a standard doorbell and interior electric wall mounted chime. There's no extra parts if you have a standard doorbell and electric indoor chime already installed.

Good Budget gaming PC
By Paul
Bestbuy really doesn't give much info on the exact internals so here they are. The motherboard is a gigabyte z170-hd3p, the ram is Adata brand 2133mhz 2x4gb, cpu i5 6600k, stock Intel cpu cooler, toshiba 2tb hdd, lg dvd drive, gpu is the amd r7 250, and it's all powered by a generic 400w power supply. Overall a good budget pc that will run games on low to medium settings. If want high to ultra settings I suggest upgrading the power supply to atleast 500w and the r7 250 to a nvidia gtx 970. Since the motherboard is a z board you have the ability to overclock the cpu. (Very easy within the BIOS).

This is a free sample product received from Linksys Family and Friends program and is really awesome looking, it performs well and gives good signal coverage throughout my three room apartment.
I was dissapointed to find it has no WPS button anywhere, and it dosen't recognize my wireless printer, it's probably something simple and I haven't contacted tech yet, I'm sure it will work fine when I can do that, You can't go wrong with Linksys.
You will be impessed by it's looks and the coverage you get from it, If you invest in one I'm sure you won' be disappointed

Absolutly amazing
By BoomBox
this is honestly one of the best headphones I have ever purchased in my life, and definitely a step up in Razers game of audio-phile grade headphones. they are very comfortable and sound amazing with a very balanced frequency signature. I'm so glad they upgraded to 50mm speakers over last gens 40mm. if you want a reasonably priced music headphone, look no further. I would recommend the 7.1 chroma variant for gaming though, plus those come with stickers, these, sadly, do not.
