Great receiver, terrible app support
on July 15, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
The receiver itself is great. Exceeded my expectations. It was easy to set up and has a very nice interface to work with. The problem with this is if you want to use the Alexa assistant or the MusicCast app. Getting this part set up was a pain to say the least, and worse is there is no manual on how to do so. No youtube video, no pdf downloadable from Yamaha website, no physical pamphlet in the box. I managed to finally get it set up, but not without frustration. Yamaha would be smart to put a more in depth instruction on their website and/or put up a youtube video showing how to. Would have been 5 stars, but since I bought this for its ease to use with Alexa, I had to give it only 4 for the frustration

The new Multi-Touch subsystem in the new iPad 9.7" and iPad Pro gives Apple Pencil striking capabilities alongside pixel perfect precision. Using incredibly sensitive pressure and tilt sensors, Apple Pencil instantly recognizes when you are pressing harder or shifting its angle. So you can vary line weight, create subtle shading, and produce a wide range of artistic effects — just like with a conventional pencil.

Apple is Apple
on June 25, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
It works as described and of course is the only item on the market that will work correctly with apple devices. Only problem is paying the Apple premium prices for something I am sure was manufactured for under $5

I had a lot of fun playing this game. Not a whole lot of replay value, but I didn't expect there to be since it is a 3DS game

Fun game

I found this game to be fun. Only complaint is the intro/setup to the whole game took far too long. I am still a fan of the originals (Red/Blue)

7.1 Surround
on June 25, 2017
Posted by: CaptnObv
Verified Purchase:Yes
Once you experience the 7.1 surround while gaming you will never want to go back. Excellent product, excellent sound quality, and excellent battery life. The only negatives I have is that the buttons on the rear left ear are too easy to bump when trying to raise the volume (also on rear left ear). This can turn off your surround, mute, as well as just screwing up settings you have. I turned the buttons off through the app, however, which solved this issue.

Works as described and got it for a fraction of the cost of the apple product. It also serves as more of a whole body case .

Excellent Addition to HP Universe
on June 25, 2017

I was skeptical of this movie going into it because I am such a big Harry Potter fan (both movies and books). However, this movie is an excellent addition to the universe of Harry Potter and I cannot wait to see where this story leads in the future.

Between this G933 and the Logitech - G633 Artemis Spectrum Gaming Headset - Black, which one is better? Or at least say the differences between the 2.

G933 = Wireless, G633 = Wired. Other than that they are the exact same model. I can tell you the cords are nice and long on the G633 and the optional cords are also long on the G933. So if you don't mind the cables, and want to save some money, go with the G633. If you don't want the cable management, then go with G933. These are some of the best value 7.1 surround headsets on the market currently either way.

Get more out of your gaming experience with this ASUS gaming monitor. The 27-inch WQHD display delivers greater detail, while in-plane switching technology provides a 178-degree viewing angle, making this monitor ideal for multiplayer games. Featuring a 4 ms response time, this ASUS gaming monitor eliminates streaking and ghosting for smooth, continuous play.
 

Is a NVIDIA GeForce GTX980 dedicated video card with 4 Gigabytes capable of driving this monitor properly?

I don't think your graphics card will tap into the true potential of this monitor. The 980 is a great card but it depending on what you are looking to do on this monitor, it might not be so great. I have the Asus Strix 1070 08G and I primarily use it for gaming. My framerates generally don't drop below 100FPS, and I have played some games that hit the max 144FPS on this monitor, however some intensive games I have to lower the settings to hit good framerates (I have had GTA V dip into the 30s which is painful after seeing 144). If you are a gamer and don't mind playing at lower graphical settings then I recommend this monitor, but then what is the point in having such a nice monitor if you aren't going to see the nice graphics? This might be a nice monitor to have if you plan on upgrading in the future, but by that time it might also be cheaper as well. I don't know if I have answered your question or just opened up more...
