INCREDIBLE VACUUM!!! Does it all without a cord!!
on September 24, 2017
Posted by: DwayneL
from Lapeer, Mi
This is the best vacuum ever. It works on hard floors with cat litter and doesn't shoot the litter around the floor. It works with hard cat food as well. It has a high speed and lower speed plus it has the ability to run the beater bar or not. It comes with 2 batteries and will run for at least 1/2 hour on a charge with everything at full speed. It will pick up pet hair with super ease. The center section between the motor and the beater bar can be removed and you can connect them directly for super cleaning power for carpeted stairs. The longer center section can also be bent for cleaning under the furniture without having to bend way down. The pointy tool gets in the smallest corners and under the fridge easily. AND IT DOES IT ALL WITHOUT A CORD!!! I have a full sized shark vacuum and can easily say that this has taken it's place completely downstairs. The only reason I don't use it upstairs is because I already have another awesome vacuum cleaner up there. If you are looking for a vacuum for cleaning up pet hair then this is it. The beater bar is made with a silicone type of material that is extremely easy to clean. without having to unwind the hair from the bar.

EXCELLENT CAMERA WITH OUTSTANDING VIDEO QUALITY
on September 2, 2017
Posted by: DwayneL
from Lapeer, Mi
Camera was fairly easy to set up once you get going. The video quality was fantastic even in low light situations. The only reason I did not give it a 5 star rating was the audio quality could have been a little bit better, But overall it is good audio quality, Just not as outstanding as the video quality. This is a great option for a much lower cost security system. You don't need to buy a bunch of stuff you really don't need if you are just wanting to monitor a single area, And with this camera the wide angle lens covers a LOT OF AREA!!!
So if you are looking for something to give you a lower cost option for video and audio surveillance then this IS the best option on the market today.

SUPER FAST AND EASY SET UP~5-STARS~*****
on August 24, 2017
Posted by: DwayneL
from Lapeer, Mi
After using my old computer for many years I finally had a chance to upgrade and this unit has it all beat hands down. It has a special "Intel Optane Memory" that is an Intel Optane 16GB Internal Flash Accelerator. This speeds up things A LOT! The 1-TB hard drive is more than enough for most users. The only drawback I could find was the CD/DVD drive is a laptop style unit so I could not install my old Bly-Ray burner into the unit, But It does have 4 UBS 3.0 slots on the rear as well as 2 regular additional USB slots plus 4 more regular USB slots on the front as well as an SD Card reader and Mic & Headphone jack on the front. It also has another Mic, Headphone & Audio input on the rear.
The case is super easy to access with a push up slot that opens it up like a book for easy access to all the insides. The other thing I miss slightly was a serial and parallel port on the mother board. So if you need either you will need an external USB version which is easy to do. The software was all set with Windows 10 and it was super easy to set up. The Hard Drive is running at a speedy 7200 RPM for MUCH quicker access to data and files as well as super fast booting.
Overall I would recommend this to any home or business user looking to update their old paper weight computer. This will definitely work well and has features that will keep you at the front of the pack for some time. That is why I give this 5-Stars.

Great audio transmission! Easy to set up.
on July 24, 2017
Posted by: DwayneL
from Lapeer, Mi
While I have seen that some people are having a hard time getting it to pair with their phone, I found it SUPER EASY! And my phone is 8 YEARS OLD! It saw it right away and connected on the first try. The audio was very good with the included earbuds, But when used with high end earbuds the audio WAS SUPERB! So if you already have a great set of earbuds or head phones then you are all set. And even if you don't, The included earbuds were quite adequate. So I give it 5 stars for audio transmission quality and 4 stars for the included earbuds.

GREAT Display~Awesome Detail~Nice Color & Blacks
on July 7, 2017
Posted by: DwayneL
from Lapeer, Mi
This display has your choice of 2 types of inputs. 2-HDMI and a display port. It has a Great detail and awesome blacks with perfect contrast. About the only drawback is the location of the display controls which are placed on the rear edge of the unit without any idea where they are looking from the front. You have to look at the rear to see what controls what. Even if they would have put some writing on the front to tell you where or what controls were at what location would have been useful. That is why I gave it 4 stars out of 5. Otherwise it was perfect in every other way.

A GREAT 4-K TV With A Multitude Of Features!!!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought the LG after our Samsung 65" HDTV Died after only 3 years. We were able to get this model for only 850.00 after price matching and we couldn't be happier. The picture was AWESOME out of the box and needed minimal tweaking. Set up was a breeze and didn't even need the manual, However I checked the manual later to be sure I didn't miss anything, Which I didn't. We set up Netflix in no time at all and it's been a wonder of modern electronics ever since. Plenty of inputs and outputs to connect with our home theater system and it sounds like we are in the movie theater. I will never look at LG as a cheaper brand again. It has it all.

WOW! So Many Features & They All Work Great!!!

I like the easy to clean and very stylish Stainless Steel finish. We use it for OUTSTANDING HOT CHOCOLATE as well as ALL Kinds of Coffee, Espresso, Latte and more. Set it for 1 to 4 cups if you only need a small batch. Set it with the built-in timer and forget it until you smell the fantastic results. The reusable filter means no more coffee filters to buy which is another big advantage. I JUST LOVE THIS MACHINE!!!

Works Great!!! What a range of grinds!

Posted by: DwayneL
from Lapeer, Mi
Unit comes apart for super easy cleaning and bean loading. Grinds to so many different coarseness settings from regular to super fine. Might even be able to use it as a grain grinder? something to consider.
The motor is very strong but a bit loud, But this is expected for a unit built like a tank. A very good unit with great features for everyone.

INCREDIBLE CONTROL!!!!!
on May 16, 2017
Posted by: DwayneL
from Lapeer, Mi
We used this in a room with 6 individual LED bulb fixtures and it took very little time to set it up for use with LED Bulbs. Once we had it set for the LED bulbs it took us quickly through the set up to calibrate the hi and lowest settings. Very quick and easy set up and an incredible amount of control. We especially like the way it can make your room look like it is being used even when you are away.
NO MORE TIMERS!!! YEAH!!! Can't wait until they are available so we can get more. It would be nice if they could make one that would allow you to control a light dimmer AND Fan Speed Control!
Something to think of guys.

Make your home an internet haven with this versatile Linksys Velop wireless Wi-Fi system. Three identical tri-band dual-stream AC2200 routers, each equipped with a quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 processor, deliver lightning-fast internet. Equipped with Bluetooth 4.0/LE, this Linksys Velop wireless Wi-Fi system is simple to set up and pairs easily with computers, tablets and smart devices.
 

Does the velop support ethernet backhaul? The Linksys website does nto say for sure but makes it look like it does.

You can make up to 3 connections a "Priority" connection and they get a higher speed. Using my computer and doing a speed test it went from 20-25 Mbps to 50-60 Mbps when it was a priority connection. You can connect a switch to one of the ports on the node and connect additional items to that but I really have not had a chance to do any additional speed tests when other units on the switch are being used.

I don't think the following statement is correct "Each access point provides a maximum data transfer speed of up to 6600 Mbps" I think collectively all the routers/access points have that much throughput but not an individual one.

I think it would depend on if you made the connection a "Priority" connection. You are allowed 3 "Priority" connections that get the highest speed and we noticed a big difference in my computer when doing a speed test it was only about 20 to 25 Mbps without priority and about 50 to 60 Mbps when it was a priority. So take into consideration.

HP L1710 monitor

The screen goes black when I go on the internet but is okay if I don't (like playing games that are on the computer). If I turn it off and then back on it stays on for awhile then goes black again. If I do this repeatedly it stays on longer and longer until it finally quits going black. The next time I use the computer to go on the internet I have to go through the same procedure. Any ideas on what the problem is? It is not that old a monitor.
It sounds like it could be one of two things. Either there is a capacitor that is going bad and once it warms up it works ok. Or more likely is there is a bad solder joint on the board somewhere, And Again, Once it warms up it expands and then the connection works ok. If you are comfortable opening things up and checking it out you could, CAREFULLY, open it up and then wait for it to work correctly and then use some NON-FLAMABLE cold shot or circuit freezer and spray it on any suspected components until it acts up, Then you found it.
Good Luck!!!

resolution

is 1366 x 768 a higher resolution than 1024 x 768?
Yes and No. In strict terms it is higher however the real difference is the shape of the picture. It might make the screen look different then you are used to. You can always try a different setting and if you don't like it windows will usually revert to the old setting after 15 seconds. So you can try many different settings until you get the one you like best. I hop this helps you out.

Daylight Viewing Monitor

Do you carry any 15/16" computer monitors designed for use in full sunlight? I prefer not to have widescreen.
This monitor works great in full day light. I have it near a window with no trouble at all.

Samsung UN65F7100AFXZA LED HDTV: Get a theater-like 1080p picture with this Samsung HDTV's expansive LED screen. The built-in Wi-Fi and Samsung Smart Hub make it easy to wirelessly stream movies, TV shows and music.
 

Does this model push 5.1 surround sound from the HDMI cable through the optical cable?

Is this model campatable with the Sonis sound bar and 5.1 surround set up?
Yes, It should without any problems. Buy if you have the means to get even a minimal home theater system it's worth every cent. The sound bars do a fine job in very small rooms but tend to get lost in a larger room.
