Ready for all the new standards!

Great and compact receiver. It does have support for HDR10, HLG (Hybrid log gamma) and Dolby vision!! I like that it has 4K HDMI in passthrough and it also has standby passthrough (allowing you to turn off the receiver and still passthrough video and sound signals to your tv, when in example, you want to watch quietly at night).
Setup was easy and it comes with a calibration mic. You just plug your speakers and woofer, turn on the receiver and do an easy setup, the receiver will emit sounds from each speaker and tune accordingly based on the position of the mic (the mic should be situated where you usually sit at). It correctly detected my speakers as small and my subwoofer.
I has a pure direct mode, no extra processing. It also has some upmixing features like sonys own, dolby movie prologic 2 for movies etc.
Only con is the GUI is very rudimentary and you can only use it for basic tuning. More advanced tuning (like setting each HDMI port to enhanced to accept HDR), requires you to use the small LCD screen and scroll over options. However, at this price point, its ok. Quality and punch of the bass is really good! It decodes newer formats like DTS master HD, Dolby true HD (no atmos or dtsx though, which is ok with me, I don't have ceiling speakers).

Great antimalware and light!

Great security suite. Easy to install. It doesn't come with a cd, just a keycode and a website you can download the latest version. Once you install you enter your code and the product is registered. You can install it on up to 3 PC's. Really great program and very light, didn't slow down my PC at all. The registered version (this one) leaves a background scanner on so it protects you in real time (the free one doesn't). Will highly recommend, specially these days with so many malwares that can hijack your info for payment in example.

Great security suit and small footprint

Great security suite, not only it has an active antivirus and antimalware, but it also has a firewall and other protections to avoid any malware from taking over your pc, android or mac. Initially it also installs a cleaner/optimizer for windows, which will scan for left over files, cache, etc and keep your pc running tip toe. I like to do things manually so I unistalled that part and left the protection on. PC still runs fast, no slow downs and the the suite is very light and intuitive, love the GUI. Will highly recommend.

Great light!
on December 11, 2017
Posted by: JamexRZ
from Salt Lake City, UT
Really nice smart light. You have to make sure you have the Phillips Hue central hub or you will not be able to use the smart features of the dimable included bulb. If you do, you can dim it, switch from cool to warm color, make a schedule etc. You can also add your Hue central unit to google home app to control it from there by the way.
The footprint of the glass stand is very wide. I was thinking on putting this on my night stand however due the massive size of the base, I just moved it to my coffee table on my living room, so consider that! Other than that its a nice light that I can dim or turn on while watching movies etc so I can see. Some people use it for light therapy but I haven't, no need, but you could. Great value with the included smart bulb!

Great speaker and assistant
on December 7, 2017
Posted by: JamexRZ
from Salt Lake City, UT
Really nice quality speaker, feels sturdy. In the box there were only the speaker and an orange usb cable with some warranty booklets. No instructions, but was able to figure out that the whole setup is done with the Google Home app (both on ios and android). After that, the app guides you thru the setup of your wifi, your google account and that's it.
Really nice you can use Google assistant for almost anything, like setup your alarm, set reminders, play music, do a google search, cast from netflix etc. I have the speaker on my night stand and I mostly use it for that. However, since you can charge the battery, you can take the speaker with you anywhere and oh, its IPX7 water proof. Other than that, the quality of the speaker and sound is exceptional, as you may expect from JBL!

Great and strong blender!
on November 26, 2017
Posted by: JamexRZ
from Salt Lake City, UT
Really great blender. I love the digital display and the touch buttons. You have manual strengths, pulse, 60 and 90 seconds, smoothie and dry. At the beginning the motors smelled a little bit, but the odor went away, I guess its the strong motor breaking in. Remember to wash the plastic-plexi? Jar the first time. The blades are non sharp (no cut fingers) however I don't know how it works its magic but so far nothing has been able to beat this blender. I have even chopped some dry nuts lol. It comes with a very scarce manual, which is more of a recipe book. I tried the tomatillo sauce recipe it comes with and it was amazing!!! I highly recommend this blender to anyone looking to make from simple smoothies to complex cooking, you won't be dissapointed.

Great quality cameras and easy setup!
on November 13, 2017
Posted by: JamexRZ
from Salt Lake City, UT
Really good camera system. The setup was a breeze. Had to plug the receiving station to my router, wait a bit and then sync each camera. There was a firmware update for the station and for each camera that went by fast. After that, downloaded the arlo app, signed in and setup my system. They have 3 plans, one free with 7 days cloud recording and two other paid ones with more days. I went for the free one as it was enough. You can also plug a flash drive to the station to have local recording if you wish. They also have a constant recording plan, however they are very expensive (the first 3 ones are based on motion rules when the cam detects something).
The mounting system was very sturdy, it comes with two magnetic bases that seem strong enough (I may go for the security one they sell at a later time). I mounted one cam on my porch over looking my parking lot. The other one is at my living room. I tested the siren and its super loud, to the point of hurting, good thing if you have someone unwanted in your home, for sure they either run, or destroy your base in a rage fit. Recording quality was great, even in the "optimized" setting. The night vision was also very clear! I will highly recommend this recording system to anyone!

Great thermostat!
on November 11, 2017
Posted by: JamexRZ
from Salt Lake City, UT
Really good thermostat. I like that you can program it by times and temp. One thing that is very important though, is you have to make sure that you have a "C" wire as it provides power to the device. My home was so old it didn't have one, neither the alternative wires (it comes with instructions in case you have other wires you can re purpose as a "C" wire). So I had to bring an AC/Heath tech to my home to add an additional 24v transformer and wire me a "C" wire to make the thermostat work. So double check this first!
The screen isn't as responsive as I would like it to be, however I was able to make it work, it just requires some more pressure than, say a phone touch screen. Setup was easy and it paired with my wifi just fine. Other than that I'm loving that I can program different temps by the hour and I can also monitor it from work (I have pets at home so I'm always trying to keep a good temp at home while saving some power while I'm at work). I hope it saves me some money, now that I'm not having my heater work all the time (its already cold here so next year will see about ac). I recommend this to anyone looking forward having an intelligent home, its a must!!

Great and portable vacuum!
on November 11, 2017
Posted by: JamexRZ
from Salt Lake City, UT
I love this vacuum. Its very modular, you can use the long rod to use it as regular carpet and hard floor vacuum, it can even swivel! I love that you can also take out the long rod and it becomes a very powerful handy vacuum. I used to have those small ones that sell on walmart (I think they were a dust buster brand) but this one blows them out of the water. Extremely more powerful and the battery lasts way longer. I just took it to clean my 2 cars and the battery was still on 3 lines of full charge. Amazing!! In short, it can be a full blown vacuum or a handy one!

Great wireless security system!
on November 3, 2017
Posted by: JamexRZ
from Salt Lake City, UT
Great little package to keep you home secure. What I like the most of it is that its wireless. No need to poke holes on your home and wiring. All of the devices have a replaceable battery (supposed to last long) and they all attach with included double sided tape (pre applied). Setup is simple, you could either follow the instructions to do it pairing with the keypad or you could plug the keychain (which has an usb male port) to the base and then plug it in a computer and the do the setup via their windows program.
The package includes door opening sensors and motion sensors, however you could add more by simply buying them from their website (I'm planning on adding a co2, smoke and glass break detector).
The only thing I don't like much is the pricing for their monitoring plans, they're $15 and $25. The second one lets you monitor your system remotely via their app, I wish this was included anyways, since what is the cost? All you need is data on you phone and wifi on you home, none of which they are paying... If you don't get the plans, no notification to the police or emergency services, just your in home siren. I wish the pricing of the service would be something like $10 and $20. I hope they reconsider their cost, being that the package isn't that cheap either. At least you get a free month. This is my only con, other than that, the system is a very nice one and I would recommend it to anyone (remember you may get a discount on home owners insurance and/or renters, mention you have an alarm system to your insurance guy).

Dominate on a different scale with the Razer Huntsman Mini TKL ~ a 60% gaming keyboard with cutting-edge Razer Clicky Optical Switches. Highly portable and ideal for streamlined setups, it~s time to experience lightning-fast actuation in our most compact form factor yet.
This is ther 2nd-gen Razer Huntsman mini .?
There is no first version. This is the first time Razer gets out a 60% keyboard. You must be confusing it with the Huntsman Tournament edition (that one is a ten keyless version, bigger than this one).

Experience high-quality audio with this Arctis Pro + GameDAC gaming headset system. An Arctis ClearCast microphone delivers background cancellation and voice clarity for use with multiplayer co-op games, while the ski goggle suspension headband allows for a comfortable fit. With premium Hi-Res speakers and a dedicated DAC and headphone amp, this Arctis Pro + GameDAC gaming headset system offers dynamic sound quality through your desktop or laptop.
How long is the cable to go from the DAC to the headset? Would i be able to purchase a longer one and still get the high quality sound?
It's long enough, It's about 3 feet, just a tad longer. And, no, so far there are no replacements available from steelseries as its a new product (some guy in the official steelseries reddit asked for a replacement after his cat chewed his cable and they told them, sorry no replacements yet). So better take care of it and hope there are replacements soon.

Add stability to your home network with the Amped Wireless HELIOS-EX Wi-Fi Extender. With DirectLink technology, it avoids signal loss by adding another 5GHz Wi-Fi channel to the standard setup, which it then uses strictly for receiving signal from the source. This Amped Wireless HELIOS-EX Wi-Fi Extender covers an area of up to 12,000 sq. ft. and includes four Gigabit network ports.
Can it use the same SSID as my TWC modem?
No, however you can have the extender kind of clone your SSID close to it. I.E if you SSID on your original router is "ONE" the extender would be "ONE_RE" for the 5ghz and "ONE_RE_2.4" for the 2.4 ghz.

A quad-core processor, a 5.5-inch LED screen and 32GB of memory ensure this phone is able to handle daily life, and Corning Gorilla Glass 4 protects the screen. Easy cloud storage ensures you never run out of space on the Google Pixel XL.
there are conflicting answers as to whether the verizon model will be locked or not. purchase would be at full retail obviously
Phone is sim unlocked. I popped in a tmobile sim card and worked fine. Google search the latest official statement by verizon and google: The verizon phones are sim unlocked, verizon will not get in the way of updates (meaning these phones will get updates from google directly and fast as any other pixel bought directly from google) and if you boot the phone with a verizon sim card, it will download just 3 verizon apps, however they are fully uninstallable.

Does your Best Buy Pixel phone have the Verizon crapware on it?
It doesn't. Per previous nexus phones, it depends on the sim card installed upon first boot. If you have the verizon sim card (it comes preinstalled) it will download just 3 apps, @@however they are uninstallable@@. If you remove the verizon sim card, and use another sim (the phone is sim unlocked by the way) from another carrier and turn it on, it will not download the 3 verizon apps.
