A great remote to simplify remote clutter
on August 29, 2017
Posted by: Andyj
from Germantown, MD
I'll admit that I am tech savvy, but I have a multitude of devices in my living room to control.
I have a gaming console, set-top box, AV receiver and a smart TV in my living room and have separate remotes for all of them.
The Logitech 665 is the one to rule them all, almost.
After going through the software setup process for my different devices and assigning commands such as "Watch TV" "Watch a Movie" or "Listen to Music", this remote is more than capable of doing these functions.
For example: I want to watch TV. The remote powers on my television, changes the input on the television, turns on my set-top box and powers on my AV receiver while changing it to the correct input I specified during setup. It assigns the volume control buttons to my receiver, the channel, guide and info buttons to my set-top box, etc.
The remote has built in troubleshooting on the LCD display if something didn't work right via pressing the "Help" button. This is useful if for some reason not all of your devices powered on, or it didn't change to the assigned input on your TV or AV device. It can and usually fixes most problems.
Setup was fairly simple, and only got technical for the above scenario when it asked for which device did I want to use to control the volume, change the channel, etc. Once configured the Logitech 665 works like a charm.
Not only does this replace that stack of multiple remotes in the living room, but essentially makes your more complex device arrangements feel plug-and-play for guests.
Pros:
Easy to use interface once configured
Backlit buttons
One remote instead of many for everyday use
Huge database of supported devices
Control multiple devices with one remote

Cons:
Does not support Bluetooth.
Requires extra configuration for more complex features of some devices.

This is a great remote for everyday use, but it's not a 100% replacement for all of your remotes. Keep them in a drawer, but not enough out-of-the-box functionality to put your remotes in storage.

A great classic
on September 9, 2016
Posted by: Andyj
Verified Purchase:Yes
This movie has a star studded cast that all have stood the test of time. Even a young David McCallum, which many will know affectionately as "Ducky" from the NCIS series. The movie looks great in Blu-Ray format and if you have an older copy lying around in an older format, this is worth the upgrade.

An entertaining film

The cast of characters speak for itself. Joe Pesci, Marisa Tomei, Ralph Macchio, and an unexpected familiar face Fred Gwynne (known best for his role as Herman Munster). This movie has plenty of laughs and in my opinion a classic.

A Super-Secret Organization recruits an unrefined but promising street kid into the agency's ultra-competitive training program just as a dire global threat emerges from a twisted tech genius. A phenomenal cast, including Academy Award Winners Colin Firth and Michael Caine and Oscar Nominee Samuel L. Jackson, leads this action-packed spy-thriller directed by Matthew Vaughn (X-Men First Class).

Not exactly James Bond but...
on September 9, 2016
Posted by: Andyj
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was a bit skeptical about this film as I had not seen it prior to purchasing it. There is plenty of action and in some places some comedy. I would recommend this film to anybody that loves the whole "Spy/Action" genre, but doesn't take itself as seriously as the Bond series.

A Great Movie

I do not want to spoil the plot in my review and I'm not going to. Leonardo DiCaprio won an Academy Award for Best Actor for 2015 in his role for this film. This film is not quite like anything you have seen before and is a worthy addition to your library. I liked it so much I also own the UHD version of it as well.

Clerks is a timeless classic

Kevin Smith's first foray into a feature film and made on a shoestring budget. This version of the movie is packed with bonus features that any true fan would enjoy. The price is also just right if you have been putting off adding it to your library.

An entry level Pioneer Elite
on September 9, 2016
Posted by: Andyj
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had purchased this after finding out the my Pioneer VSX-1124 supported HDMI 2.0, but not the HDCP 2.2 standard that most UHD/4K content requires. This receiver does not disappoint. The LX101 is the entry level into this year's Pioneer Elite receivers. While it has 6 HDMI inputs, bear in mind that 3 of them are HDCP 2.2 compliant and 3 are not. If you have a 4K up-scaling Blu-Ray and a 4K television, you may run into issues using one of the HDCP 2.2 ports.
This is also something to consider if you are using any device that does not output 4K natively and upscales the picture.
I was quite impressed by the sound quality, ease of use of the setup menus and capabilities built into this AV receiver. While this receiver is also capable of Dolby Atmos, it supports it in a 5.1.2 configuration, as does the LX301 and SC-LX501. I would recommend researching the products and determine which best fits your needs.
This receiver does 5.1 and DTS awesomely and if you have the room and extra speakers, 7.1 sound. In this price range it is comparable to other brands, but is more akin to features of it's parent company, Onkyo. This is my 5th Pioneer receiver and have never had the previous 4 die on me. Upgraded over the years to support newer technologies.

I purchased this recently at my local store on sale. I've had this movie for years on DVD, but I wanted to pick it up on Blu-Ray. A must have if you don't already own it.

![Chappie / District 9 / Elysium - BLU-RAY [Standard]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/52d26214-7fac-4bea-928c-07763622397b.jpg)
The world of Neill Blomkamp is unlike any other. Distinct of story and vision, and for the first time together in this limited edition Blu-ray set, District 9, Elysium and Chappie define Blomkamp as a true auteur. Relish in these action-packed hits with a new collection of extras, including limited- special features on District 9 and Elysium, and an alternate ending and exploration of visual effects, weaponry and artificial intelligence on Chappie.

Enjoy hours of reliability and speed with this HP Pavilion desktop. Its AMD Ryzen 5 processor and 12GB of RAM let you accomplish multiple tasks at the same time, and its 1TB hard drive provides plenty of space for file storage. This HP Pavilion desktop comes with a wired keyboard and mouse for interacting with Windows 10 Home.
Can this handle two monitors with extended display (not duplicate)?
This computer has 1 HDMI port and 1 VGA port. In theory, yes as they still make monitors with a 15-pin VGA connection.

I intend to purchase the HP Pavilion 590-p0044, which comes with only 1 HDMI slot. I want to run 2 monitors independently. I'm considering buying the NVIDIA Quadro P400. Does anyone any experience in using this card?
I would hit google and check the motherboard specs before doing this. It's highly impractical to run a GPU on this machine, as the case won't fit a full length card and the PSU has zero connectors for a GPU.

If I add an hard drive do I need to upgrade power supply
No, there is a third SATA power connector inside. I've run it with both the stock 1TB drive + a 2TB HHD and currently have an SSD to replace the 1TB and still have the 2TB HDD running in it.

Does the motherboard support other ryzen CPUs? Ryzen 7?
It should, but I would not invest in upgrading this build. It doesn't have enough room for a full length GPU and has a proprietary PSU, Mobo and even the DVD drive in it has a wierd half-cable SATA power connector.

Does this computer have video optical output, microphone, headset out put
No, it has minimal audio connections. Enough to connect a headset with a mic to on the front and the back has those plus maybe a line in.
