Great product!
Let's start with the brand... Insignia... Insignia is an "in-house" Best Buy brand, wholly owned, controlled, and managed by Best Buy. In typical Insignia fashion, these television legs offer a solid product for a reasonable value.
When the chance came to select this porioduct, I was glad to do so. I have had my television mounted to the wall since we first moved in five years ago. Needless to say, I have no idea where my original stands were put. So I saw this and thiught what a great opportunity!
First impression: this a solid and HEAVY product. Usually when you hear something is heavy, that is not necessarily a good thing. Hoiwever, when it needs to support your very expensive television, that is most certainly a good thing.
Inside, yoiu will find the leg components and multiple screws to mount to a multitude of various televisions. The specs say it will work for up to a 77 inch TV, but also up to 100 pounds. Most modern LCD flat panels clock in well under 100 pounbds, so it certainly it will have no problem most any flat panel.
Since I recentlky upgraded to a 98", I was able to move my 87" from the wall and miount on these legs. Thery had no problem supporting it's weight, and they do so with coinfidence.
Great choice if you have the need!

When this offer came up for the Yale - Smart Lock with Matter, designed for Google Home, I was excited at the opportunity. I have a robust Google Home environment with everything from camera's, to smart displays, to smoke detectors, to Yale Smart locks. In the Yale eco-system, I have a couple cabinet locks (keep medications away from curious eyes), and now 3 Yale smartlocks. Outside of my house, my daughter has a Yale smart lock for her college apartment, and my son (a US Navy Nuclear Engineer on a nuclear submarine), has Yale smartlocks on his apartment. He has it set up so that when he is underway, his mom and I get a notification if the lock is ever disengaged, so we can notify the police from 935 miles away. Needless to say, as a family, we are Yale fans.
This lock is one my favorites. It has an attractive aesthetic, and the lock also feels quite substatntial. For a security device, that is important.
Install was simple. If you may not be the handiest person, no worries. You should still be able to install it. If not, buy a buddy a six pack.
As for the tech, it comes with a platform called "Matter". What is Matter? In a nutshell, Matter is the protocol that makes most everything play nice. It’s the unifying language for smart devices, designed to eliminate the chaos of incompatible ecosystems.
After install, setting it into my Google Home system was, (per usual), simple.
End of the day, this is a great choice for most anyone. If you a Google Home, user, it's a no brainer.
Great choice.

This Epson EX3290 3-Chip 3LCD WXGA Projector is a solid choice. I have a real estate office that we hold weekly staff meetings to discuss individual performance, group performance, and market trends and updates. With our previous projector, we had to close the shades to get a decent view. This Epson EX3290 operates ina fuyll daylight environment in a con ference room with south and east facing windows withiout the need to close the shades. That said, as with ANY projector, the view is betgter, brighter, and crisper with the shades closed. That is not a knoick on this device, tht is ujst the nature of the beast. I meaqn, there is a reason that movie theaters do not have skylights or windows, right?
As foir quality, this has a well-built look and feel. It is an attractive, (well, for a projector, attractive) look and feel. Projectors are not known to be partucularly sleek or elegant.
Set up and use is simple. It has multiple inouts toi meet most any need. '
'End fo the day, this is a great choice for a decent price.

Solid Gaming Headphones; Room For Improvement
on August 2, 2025
Posted by: Posted1
Overall, a solid choice, small area's of opportunity.
This HyperX - Cloud III S Wireless Gaming Headset checks a lot of boxes, but...
The Pros:
*Excellent sound quality
*Relatively comfortable, even for long periods of time
*Multi-connectivity options
*2.4 Gig connectivity
*Bluetooth connectivity
*Noise cancelling microphone (more on that later)
*Long battery life
*Good build quality
*Ergonomic controls
*Intuitive controls and function
*Relatively comfortable, even for long periods of time
*Multi-connectivity options
*2.4 Gig connectivity
*Bluetooth connectivity
*Noise cancelling microphone (more on that later)
*Long battery life
*Good build quality
*Ergonomic controls
*Intuitive controls and function
OK, so at this point, you are probably wondering why I gave it four stars instead of five. Fair enough, but here is where (especially at this price point), I seee room for improvement
*Microphone is removeable, it only has one input, none on the other
*No Active Noise Cancelation (ANC) for the headphones
*No Active Noise Cancelation (ANC) for the headphones
OK, I know these may sound like I'm nit-picking, but again, I nhave come to expect those as we are reaching the upper-end. While the closed back and memory foam ear-cups provide passive noise cancellatiion, ANC provides for a more isolated, intense, and nuanced game play.
Minor points, I believe important points. These are a solid choice, but the one side microphone and no ANC kept me giving them them that last star rating.

First Alert Battery Smart Smoke Alarm

Excellent Choice for Smart Home Smoke/CO Detector
on August 2, 2025
Posted by: Posted1
Just last weekend, we finished building our 5th bedroom in our basement. When the opportunity came to get this battery powered First Alert - Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detector, I jumped on it. our basement is 80% finished, with the unfinished portion of the basement (per usual) cantains storage, gas fueled hot-water heater and of course, the gas fueld furnace. Given that we already have 2 classic smoke detctors, this will add a third, but of most importance, it will provide carbon moxide detection.
In the box you will findthe alarm itself, mounting plate and hardware, batteries, and the ubiquitous quick-start and manual.
Set up was simple. I would suggest first downloading the Resido First Alert app, and creating an aaccount. Once you've done that, remove the plastic strip, press the center button, and you will be alerted to scan the QR code. Next, you can add to to your WiFi network, and then, in my case, I was queued to add to my Google Home networ. And there it was, accessible via the RFesido app, but more importantly, the Google Home ecosystem.
If you press the button for a couple seconds, it runs a test. First for the smoke, and then for the carbon momoxide.
One cool feature, that I hope I'll never have to use, is that if it detects, you will sent a notification of alarm and to call 911. Nice add.
One cool feature, that I hope I'll never have to use, is that if it detects, you will sent a notification of alarm and to call 911. Nice add.
Physical mounting was, as expected, simple. Mount the base with a couple screws, and pop the detector onto it. Boom, you are done.
This can be mounted horizontily on a cieling, or vertically on a wall. I placed mikne on the cieling.
End of the day, I'm glad to have this and I hjave some immediate peace of mind

Replace a missing or damaged power cord with the Rocketfish 8 ft. 2-Slot Non-Polarized Power Cord. This high-quality, UL certified power cord features a premium design and build with an 8-foot braided cable jacket for better performance. The 2-prong male to 2-slot non-polarized female connectors feature an 18 AWG wire gauge with a 7A amp rating to power your electronics including PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X and S gaming systems.
Posted by: Posted1
OK, where to start for a 1000 charecter review for an non-polarized power cord?
Well, let's start with the brand, Rocketfish. Rocketfish is a brand owned by Best Buy. Much like Insignia and Best Buy Essentials that offer quality products at competetive pricing, Rocketfish aims for a more premium product, but is still competitively priced. This product fits that sweet-spot perfectly. It has a great quality build, and premium feel, yet priced to be easily adpted to any budget.
As for the power cord itself, both ends (wall plug and female device plug), feel high quality, and substaantial. The cord itself, is braided (as more premium cords tend to be), and has an upper-end look and feel.
The power cord is eight feet long, so more than your typical off-the-shelf competitors. It is made with 18 gauge (AWG) copper, so that is certainy suitable to move the power safely and freeley. It's engineered for 7 amps at 125 volts, so applicable everything from portable speakers, TV's, and even many small appliances.
End of the day, this is a great choice, and compliant most any budget, all while providing a more premium feel than others.

It Is What It Is. Not Bad, But Opportunites Abound
on May 29, 2025
Posted by: Posted1
For the sake of transparancy, I wanted to give it 3 strs, but part of my desire is due it's OS. That would be like giving a family sedan a 3 star rating for not being a sports car. I mean, it is what it is. More on that later.
Out of the box, it has an attractive look, and feels high quality. Nice tactile feel on the keyboard, mouse pad and touchscreen. The screen resolition is 1920 x 1080, but the refresh rate is 60Hz, meaning that it refreshes the screen 60 times per second. Perfectly adequate for daily use, entertainment and productivity, but not optimal for some games. That said, most gamers would not even considder this machine, but for every day use, the screen is nice.
At 128 gig SS storage, it is adequate for most casual use. Having 256 or 512 gig wouold be nice, but 128 is OK for entertainment and productivity suites. Memory is 8 gig. Again, on the low end, but for this machine and it's users, certainly adequate.
For input, it has one HDMI, two USB-A, and 2 USB-C ports. The USB-C ports are used for noth charking the machine, as well as for charging external devices.
This machine is rated at WiFi 6, which is very good connectivity and stability. It also has a 1080 p front facing camera and microphone. Perfectly adequate for on-line communication.
All in all a decent machine, but back to the 3 star want, but 5 star rating. While I am an Adroid guy (have been for as long as I can remember), the Chrome OS is... Quirky. To be fair, back to my sedan/sports car comaprison, Chrome OS is probably really good, but having spent decades both at work and home on Windows, I am competely engrained in that OS. Thus, I gave it a 4 as it is not the fault f the machine, but moreso the user.
Now the dealbreaker, and catalyst for wanting to give it 3 stars... There is no backlight on the keyboard. I use my laptops a great deal at nigh in my self-selected dark living areas and bedroom. On an airplane at night? No backlight = no good. You would think a machine at this price point would have the BL KB. Dissapointing.
End of the day, it is what it is. And it does what it does. Fortunately, I have several other options, but this will be a nice option for brainless app gaming, basic streaming, and Internet browsing when I travel. It is light, portable and decent battery life.

OK, this is a pretty fun little unit that does WAY more than we will ever use.
So our basement, in addition to having my adult son's bedroom, is also party central, when not outside or any given Saturday or Sunday. Bear in mind, my son is a United States Navy Nuclear Engineer, so when he is granted liberty, he has a place to call home. That said, I just happened to get this a couple days before he came home. Needless to say, he and his sister and their friends spent many hours reuniting and hearing the many amazing stories ofhis ventures benath the Pacific Ocean.
While he was here, we played multiple head-to-head games both as a family and amongst their friends. Suffice it to say, several friendly rivalries were notn only formed, but some were renewed. As for the tech, I'm not going to mention much because it is readily availble from many other sources.
Overall quality is excellent. It has a great build, great feel and easy to use interface. One tech item I will note, especially in this era of privacy, this uses radar to track individual shots and not camera's, so no privacy issues.
End of the day, this thing is tech-packed wonder, but also tons of fun.

Great choice!
The timing was perfect when I recieved this offer... My wife's laptop had just died and I had given her one that did not have the touch-screen. The poor thing struggled mightily with the non-touch screen. I wouod look over and she would be whacking on the screen and getting frusturated because nothing was happening. I must have reminded her at least five times that the screen on this one was not going to work... She was so used to having the rtouch-screen that was just operating out of habit.
Fast forward to this model and suffice it to say, she is much happier! I'm not going to get into tech specifics as thagt inpformation is readily availble from multiple sources. But I will say that this particular model is fast, efficient, and versitle. It can be iused as a laptop, tablet, or tent mode.
As far as quality, in typical HP fashion, it's very good build quality. Setup was as expected, typical Windows.
This is my tyhird experience with Copilot+, and I must admit, it is far and away my preferred AI application. Take your time and enljoy playing with it.
End of the day, this is a great choice.

Rugged, durable, waterproof and mountable, Max is ready to capture your adventures from every angle and perspective.

Very cool little toy!
Out of the box, this is a rugged and waterproof powerhouse. It has 2 camera's (one front, one rear), and each camera can be used individually or in 360 mode for the 360 degree filming. Almost like three camera's in one. Very cool!
How does it work? Each camera records in a 214 degree angle, then the software puts it all together leaving you with an image much like street view on mapping programs.
As for the invisible stick, well, there is nothing really magic about it. As long as the camera is aligned straight, it sits out of both cameras angles. Again, nothing special, but for sure pretty cool.
Here is the thing... If you are into activities like biking, motorcycling, skiiing, skateborading, etc, you can get some really interesting footage. For me, as a 54 year-old dad-bod champion, the most interesting thing I'll capture is maybe an occasional snippet of a liesurely hike in the Colorado mountains, or the occasional walk in front of my house as seen in the pics. Nothingexciting.
As for the editing in the GoPro Quick app... I don't know... It says it's simple and intuitive, but Ididn't find that to be the case. That said, I am sure it's more me that the software. I don't like any video editing, for some reason. I let my 20 year artistic daughter dive into it and she was impressed. I guess I'm lucky I have my own in-house editor.
End of the day, nice choice!
I would, and have, reccomend to a friend

how do I get my mouse to move properly on my intel computer screen
I'm not sure I understand the question. You should be able to plug the USB into your PC, turn your mouse to the "on" position and have it operate no problems.
