Excellent Multi-Purpose Projector
on March 20, 2018
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
This is an excellent option for those looking for an affordable projector that can do a little bit of everything.While it is not 1080p, there is no need to pay a premium for that depending on what your needs are.
The best things about this projector is it's combination of performance and portability. Picture quality is excellent and it has built in speakers so that you do not need to tote around a pair of speakers for presentations on the go. There are various ways to connect, whether you use the wireless feature, USB, HDMI, this projector gives you plenty of options.
Another key feature is this projector's ability to project from virtually anywhere in the room. With previous projectors I have used, you generally need to be straight on for your image to be square. This projector has the ability to throw its image at an angle from short or long distance which can really come in handy based on the room you are in.
Overall, this is an excellent and affordable projector that I recommend to anyone looking for a good all-around option.

Party on the Go
on March 19, 2018
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
Bluetooth speakers continue to evolve and this model from Sony is Exhibit A. I've owned/used well over a dozen Bluetooth speakers over the years and this one ranks at or near the top in terms of performance and value.
Besides the always excellent sound quality that Sony speakers provide, this model sports several cool features that make it worth a purchase. One of my favorites was the light show feature. Multi-colored lights dance to the music in a pattern that gives you a portable party machine. The lights wrap around the entire border of the speaker giving it a really cool look. This feature works on its own or can be enhanced and customized by downloading the Sony Music Center app. If the lights aren't for you they are easy to turn off with a button hidden inside the waterproof chamber in the back of the unit. Another cool feature is the ability to add multiple speakers to sync whatever you are playing. And did I mention this thing is waterproof? Just don't take it near seawater or pool water as the waterproof feature only applies to fresh water and sweat.
The battery takes up to 5 hours to charge and can last up to 24 hours. A USB port in the rear allows you to charge your phone or other electronic devices. It also has an auxiliary port in the back if you want to connect a device that way. This speaker really has all the features you need.
I highly recommend this speaker. It's a winner!

Excellent and Affordable Home Security
on March 15, 2018
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
This is the second SimpliSafe product that I have used and I am happy to report that it is an improved version of the SimpiSafe Defend product.
The SimpliSafe products continue to be very easy to set up. You do not need high technical skill to have everything up and running in under an hour. The included keypad is an improvement over previous designs. It has a sleek look to it where the older design seemed like it was designed 20 years ago. The entry and motion sensors work as expected and will help give you peace of mind as they are protecting your home. The yard sign is a valuable piece included in this kit. A prominent sign is the first line of defense and can easily cause would be burglars to choose a different target. The cost of monitoring is reasonable: $14.99/month
Things that I would have liked to see with this model is compatibility with voice assistant devices. I have a Google Home system and would like to be able to arm/disarm the system verbally. It would also be nice to have a 2nd motion sensor in this kit, but at this price point I can't complain. You can always expand your system by purchasing additional add-ons as you like.
At this price it will be difficult to find a better self-install security system. It's a great buy for folks on a budget that want to keep their family and belongings safe.

Excellent Extender for Larger Homes
on March 9, 2018
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
If you are currently in need of expanding the range of the Wi-Fi signal in your home this unit is an excellent choice. While there are cheaper options I haven't seen one that works better.
The set-up process is very quick and simple. A physical quick start guide is provided (pictured below). I prefer this rather than what some companies do, such as forcing you to install an app in order to complete the set-up process.
After using the extender for a couple of days I have found that signal strength and speed have been fantastic in every corner of my two story, 2300 square foot home. One of my favorite features is the 4 ethernet ports that allow you to hardwire devices in your home that do not have built-in Wi-Fi.
It is compatible with all Wi-Fi router types and would be an excellent choice for anyone looking to improve Wi-Fi in their home.

Excellent Desktop PC
on February 26, 2018
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
This PC met all of my performance expectations and is an excellent option for anyone looking to replace an older computer that is ready to put out to pasture.
Pros:
- The I7 processor keeps all apps running quickly. You can't ask for much better performance in a processor.
- The amount of RAM (16GB) will allow you to multitask without any issues. It is also a suffcient amount of memory for those that plan to use the system for gaming. Video editiors will also appreciate this amount of RAM.
- Boot speed is the best I have seen on any Windows PC
- The built in wireless card functioned well and provided excellent upload/download speeds for me

Cons:
- Windows updates still take longer than I would like. I appreciate the efficient updates of Chrome OS that take less than a minute. But of course, a Windows OS is capable of far more than Chrome OS.
- I would like to see a design with front facing USB ports. These days everyone is charging multiple devices over USB, and it would be nice to see the ports easily if the tower is placed under your desk.

Overall It's Great, But Sling App needs Fixing
on February 18, 2018
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
I have been interested in "cutting the cord" for quite some time so I was excited to try out the AirTV and use Sling TV for the first time. Overall I was very impressed and only had one concern.
Pros:
- Set-up was very simple. The included instructions are clear and helped me get things set up quickly. After an OS update that only took a few minutes I was ready to set up my antennae (not included) to check for OTA channels.
- The remote control is high quality. I loved the responsiveness of the buttons and during set-up there was even an automated wireless firmware update. I don't have any other remotes that get firmware updates so that was impressive to me for such an affordable media player. The remote also automatically paired to my TV so it can control power and volume.
- The integration of your local OTA channels is seamless within the Sling TV guide. You will be able to browse all Sling channels you subscribe to as well as your local channels with ease.
- You can connect a USB drive to the unit in order to use DVR functionality via the lastest Android TV update.

Cons:
My only concern with the AirTV was that the Sling TV app crashed on me 3 times, each time while switching from programming back to the guide. I'm sure this will be fixed with an app update in the near future, but it has been frustrating so far as the Sling TV app is the main app most people will use on this system.

Once the Sling TV app gets fixed, I would give this unit 5 stars. It comes at a great price and gives you control over how much you want to pay for your television programming AND still get your local TV stations all in one convenient channel guide.

Good sound quality, fit comfortably
on January 29, 2018
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
After spending a few days with these wireless earbuds I found them to be good but not great.
JBL has a reputation for high quality audio products. I have a set of wireless noise canceling over ear headphones that are fantastic. These earbuds sound good and are convenient due to their portability and ability to charge on the go.
The only downside was that audio would drop from time to time. This can happen with any bluetooth device, but I experienced more of these instances than I am used to with other similar devices.
The comfort and audio quality help make up for the occasional sound drops, so I consider these earbuds to be a decent option. But you will certainly want to compare other products before you make your decision.

Nice Accent

Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
This lamp is stylish, dimmable, and a nice addition to any room. It can be activated with voice commands, but I wish that it also had a physical on/off switch.
The bulb cover is easily removed with an innovative rubber apparatus allowing you to twist it on and off. The light itself is perfect to read by.
If you are looking to upgrade lights in your home, this smart lamp is a great choice.

Comfortable and Functional
on December 8, 2017
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
This was my first activity tracking watch and I was impressed with its performance.
What I was looking for most was for it to be comfortable throughout workouts and to provide data about those workouts in an easy to read manner. This watch accomplished both of those expectations. The fact that you can wear it in water is a huge plus for me, as I love water sports and activities.
This watch is not the most stylish activity tracker/GPS so don't expect to win any fashion shows. But if you are just using it for workouts and not a 12 hour a day accessory, then I would not be concerned. The partner App could be a little bit more user friendly but it is functional, provides the data I need about my workouts, and I'm sure it will get updates over time to make it even better. I love how you can toggle the display of the watch from the app itself.
Overall, this is a great option for athletes and everyday folks that like to track their activity. The additional features that it has over competing products make it a much better choice.

The Best of Both Worlds
on November 21, 2017
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
What do you get when you combine the best Bluetooth speaker with Amazon's Echo technology? The UE Megablast.
Logitech has been putting out great sounding speakers for years with the Ultimate Ears series. And now they have added Amazon's interactive technology to make their speakers that much better. Want to listen to your favorite playlist with a simple voice command? Done. Interested in hearing the day's weather report? You got it. Want to connect to your smart thermostat to adjust your home's temperature? Yes, it can do that too.
Simply, this speaker eliminates the need for two separate devices in your home. The optional charging dock comes in handy to keep it charged if you plan on moving it often. I keep it docked at all times unless I am taking it outside to do yardwork. The volume is the loudest I have found in a Bluetooth speaker and music does not get distorted even at high levels.
Despite combining the capabilities of Alexa and an amazing sounding speaker, the price is still reasonable. I highly recommend this device for anyone that is looking for the highest quality audio mixed with a smart home experience.

The A6G series. Proving that good things come in big packages too. Take your pick from 75”, 70”, 65”, 60”, 55”, 50” and 43” screens. For 4K UHD picture quality, in the perfect size for your space. With Android TV, you can discover 700,000+ movies and shows in one place. Ask Google to control your TV with your voice. And cast your photos, videos, and music from devices to your TV easily with Chromecast built-in™. Add to that Dolby Vision HDR and Auto Low Latency Game Mode. Or as we call it, a great looking TV.
Is this TV good for gaming?
Yes, I would say so! I have been using it with my Xbox One X for about a week now and it has been great for the games I play. What I've liked most is I can now read better for some games that have tiny text that was tough to see on smaller TVs.

Battery depletion depends on many things including your weight, what performance-mode you are in (sport uses the most juice), the terrain you are riding on, etc. But a max of 28 miles as advertised is possible, depending on those variables.

Asking the people that bought this mouse, have they fixed the wireless connection issues ??? Any software updates to address the problem ??? Thank you in advance.....
I didn't have any of these issues with mine, so it seems that the issue has been resolved. It may have just been a bad batch during their first production run.
