Nice addition

Wall switch and remote for added convenience with Hue lights. I had the lights without the switch for a long time and it is certainly doable that way. However, it started to become very annoying to have to take out my phone every time I wanted to turn on or off my lights. I now use this switch mounted on the wall as a normal light switch with dimming capabilities. I can then use my phone in conjunction with this for more fine tuning, dimming, color changes, etc... There are a number of different settings possible with the switch making it more customizable.

Great lights

Bright, excellent colors, and exceptional dimming capabilities. The Hue phone application isn't the greatest but there are others out there that work well. I would recommend buying the switch with it for ease of control in conjunction with the phone application. You can also get an app on your computer, which is convenient when working at a desk or studying, etc...

iPad mini 4 has a gorgeous 7.9-inch Retina display, yet it's only 6.1mm thin and weighs just 0.65 pounds, making it small enough to hold in one hand. It has a powerful A8 chip with 64-bit desktop-class architecture, advanced iSight and FaceTime HD cameras, Wi-Fi and LTE connectivity, iCloud, the breakthrough Touch ID fingerprint sensor, and up to 10 hours of battery life. It also includes great apps for productivity and creativity, and powerful new features in iOS 9 like multitasking. And there are even more incredible apps available in the App Store.

iPad Mini 4, pleasantly surprised

Verified Purchase:Yes
I am a medical student and purchased this for studying/school. I was hesitant because I was uncertain of its practicality but was pleasantly surprised. I use it daily for flashcards, PDF reading, and reviewing powerpoint slides. The size is perfect for me as I think the full sized iPad would be too large and cumbersome to hold. The display is beautiful and the device is very fast. The only feature that leaves something to be desired is the camera but it is otherwise a great device.

Rotate this 25-inch Dell LED HD monitor a full 90 degrees for versatile viewing. Save energy with the built-in brightness dimmer and sleep mode, and care for the environment with the arsenic-free glass and mercury-free LED panel. Exceptional color and clarity on this 2560 x 1440 resolution Dell LED HD monitor let you look at true-to-life images.

Great 2560 x 1440p monitor
on May 25, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this as an open box item but it unfortunately arrived with a broken screen. I went to my local Best Buy store and they graciously exchanged it for a new one. I am very satisfied with this monitor. I am a student and spend many hours per day staring at a screen and working on a computer. This screen puts less strain on my eyes and has excellent quality. I was debating purchasing a 4K monitor instead of this but they are still slightly too expensive for the size I wanted and I was able to get this one not only at an open box price but also on sale and with a rewards discount.
If you're looking for a monitor and are looking for 2560 x 1440p, this is one of the best options for the price point. The non-glare screen is great, the stand is versatile, the bezels are really thin, great brightness, accurate color, and overall a very sleek looking monitor. Some people seem to have complained about the power button but I haven't really had a problem with it. If you're intentional about how you place your finger on it, it works every time. Cable management is relatively easy with this monitor. My only real complaint is in regards to the orientation of the plugins on the back of the monitor. The inputs face straight down towards the desk so it can be cumbersome to plug something into it but overall a very minor complaint. The monitor also comes with a mini display port cable (works with mac FYI) which was a nice surprise.
If you have a bunch of money to throw around and want 4K for the stunning picture quality, I would say go for it. However, beware that there is not much content yet available in 4K and you'll have to upscale the display (i.e. zoom in so you can read the text otherwise it will be too small). 4K monitors will also probably get a lot cheaper over the next year so it may be worth waiting for prices to drop. Also, be sure your graphics card in your computer/laptop is capable of running a 4K monitor. This may not be true of laptops/computers older than a couple years. I was reluctant to purchase a 2.5K monitor but for the price (and the fact that I needed one now) it was definitely worth it. Big improvement from 1080p, especially in workspace. I have more room to work with on this 25" monitor than I did on a 28" 1080p by quite a bit.

Great TV for a great price

Picked this up on sale for $499. Picture quality is great, TV speakers are respectable (although certainly not audiophile quality, but no one should expect that from a TV anyway), nice design, and reasonably easy interface.
I have no complaints yet and have owned it for about two months. I would recommend this TV to anyone looking for a high quality 4K TV at a reasonable price

Most dimmers do not dim real low. Does this one?

Yes, it dims to the same capacity as the phone app does. Meaning, it will take the bulbs down to whatever their lowest brightness is without difficulty.

I have the Hue White and Color Bridge/bulbs. Will this work with those bulbs or is there a different dimmer Switch I need to purchase? If it is different, can you tell me what it is called?

It should work just fine.
