I love Pioneer Elite receivers. They have the Class D digital D3 amps which are very powerful, sounds great and very efficient plus the fact that they can drive 4-ohm speakers with ease unlike many Class AB amps which most manufacturers use. The SC-97 sounds even better than my older SC-67 with better soundstage than the older one, especially with the new MCACC Pro.
Pioneer AVRs have a clean uncluttered look which looks luxurious with their amber displays. Pioneer's MCACC calibration works fine, just as good as Audyssey.
The only downside is that Pioneer has terrible remote controls with puny buttons and hard to read print. Since I normally use Logitech Harmony remotes, this is a non-issue.
I was so impressed with the SC-97, I bought another one for another room. More so since Pioneer was bought out by Onkyo. This generation models are the last designed entirely under Pioneer. Onkyo is known for shoddy reliability recently and I was concerned about their future models.

Another Great BBC presentation...

BBC has been releasing an updated modern version of Sherlock Holmes with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. This episode goes back to the late 19th century and is more like the regular perios Holmes movies. It is not as good as the modern releases but still a satisfying release.

Cheap 3D glasses but it works...

Verified Purchase:Yes
Most active 3D glasses are very expensive or poorly built. The glasses that comes with the current Samsung TVs are pretty flimsy. The battery cover will not stay in place, causing the battery to pop out all the time.
This glasses is more comfortable and rechargeable. It is universal and will work with most TVs. Note that it is NOT compatible with JVC projectors which have a different polarity.

A pretty good UPS for its price

Verified Purchase:Yes
I needed a cheap but effective UPS to maintain my NAS. This UPS connects to the NAS through a USB cable. If the power goes out, the UPS will notify the NAS and the NAS will do a automatic shutdown after 10 minutes. The time can be set by the user.
Note that this UPS is too small to maintain power to a PC. The NAS only draws 10-100 watts depending on its state. The UPS has way more power than needed for this.
The only thing is that I wish the UPS supported pure sine wave power but won't find it for this price...

Featuring 1920 x 1080 maximum resolution, this Dell S2415H 3R3XN LED monitor presents stunningly realistic images in clear detail on its 23.8" display. The virtually borderless, ultranarrow bezel delivers an enveloping widescreen viewing experience.

A good monitor for the price...

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this because I needed a bigger screen for my laptop when I am at home. It fit the bill perfectly. It's not too big and not too small. It accepts HDMI (but not sure if it is HDMI 2.0/HDCP compatible to use with a BR player.
The colors are vivid and the screen is quite bright. Since it is an IPS screen, the image retains picture quality when viewed off axis. The cost of this is that the contrast is hampered when in a dark room, the blacks turn to a muddy gray. if you have external lighting on, this issue fades away.

This is the third Toshiba 5TB HDD I have bought for my computer. For the price it cannot be beat. It's quiet and reliable. Please note that it is NOT recommended to use a desktop drive like this for a NAS....

Solid black ink

The OEM Epson ink is probably the only way to buy their ink... Refills from third parties do not match the Epson inks. I wish BB would sell the higher capacity cartridges but at least I get them at a discount as a BB member...
Epson should also include this cartridge in their all-in-one pack.

A great SSD

The Sandisk Ultra II SSd is a great drive. It uses TLC memory which is longer lasting than MLC type of RAM. It is easy to install.
I backed u my boot drive using Paragon (free drive imaging program) to an external HDD. I installed the SSD as the boot drive and restored the image to the SSD from the external drive.

The PC (Windows 10) now boots and log-ins in several seconds. I keep my data on another internal drive. The SSD is only to boot and load apps.
