Great for quick prints for parties and such
on November 17, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
Not perfect but a good tool for quickly getting portraits out to folks. I usually run it through Lightroom with my camera tethered and then can print a photo right after the client sees it. It can also be used for fund raisers possibly with a few props for the particular venue or charity so people have a quick souvenir to take with them after an event. You can also use it as a stand alone to print right from your phone or memory card. It has versatility. The prints have decent gamut of color and they are printed dry so there is no chance of smudges or running when giving them out. Overall a good quick printer and the only draw back is possibly the size of the print, you can only go to 4x6 which isn't bad but it's a little skimpy when you want to make an moderate impact visually.

Good wide angle for occasional use
on October 30, 2020
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
Not the top of the line lens but does do what you need it to do. I don't usually take those wide epic expanse shots so this was sufficient for what I wanted to use it for. It functions as it should and gets the job done. Crisp clean looking images and lots of real estate to compose the image with. Although for the beginner it's a little misleading since 10mm translates to 16mm on your crop sensor camera (APS-C) which this lens is specifically made for. Even at that focal length it has that wide angle you can use to get the inside of the cathedral all in. There is a little bit of distortion but that is to be expected and most software can adjust for that with the lens adjustment profiles. Overall a good lens for those occasional shots you want that are wide.

Just a slight upgrade
on October 5, 2020
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
Got this one on sale and needed a little upgrade boost for my older computer. It worked like a charm and I was bale to get a bigger and higher resolution monitor and have enough power to drive the graphics for my photo editing and everything else. Quick and easy swap from my old card to this new card. (bot NVIDIA) Everything continues to run fine with no glitches so far. Hoping it stays that way. This coupled with the new monitor was a great treat and so much wanted.

Great monitor for the money
on October 5, 2020
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
There is plenty of hype about which monitor is the best visually. Is it VA, IPS, TN? Well you know what there is probably a difference technically but for most uses any of the formats will work well. Unless you have a specific need for a specific type this monitor will work fine for what you use it for. I use it for photos and editing with Lightroom and Photoshop. This monitor is a bit of a wide gamut monitor, which I wasn't aware of, at least that is what my color calibration device and software told me. That is a plus for the photo community. It also provides me with more real estate to view my large megapixel images and lets me keep them sharp even when getting it tight to edit them. Overall it looks good and the 4ms refresh time isn't an issue for my needs and even if I watch a movie or trailers things look fine with no noticeable artifacts. As with anything this is something that personal preference will dictate how someone feels about the specifications but they really aren't that important in my opinion. As long as the monitor does what you need it to do and looks good it is good. The one small quirk I found was the refresh rate, you have to be sure to use the HDMI 2 port if that is how you're connecting it to get the 60hz refresh rate.

Great Camera for a great price
on June 20, 2020
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
Although not as good as a high end video camera it is a very good camera for the price point. Very easy to install and looks pretty decent when video conferencing with friends and family. The built in mic is a bit sensitive and can get very load if you're not careful with your software settings. If you need better audio it would be wise to get a stand alone mic which comes in many styles. Overall this is a good compact unit that suits the purpose for which it was intended. This one was so good this is the second one and I've had the first for many years (had to relocate it and needed another).

Echo Show 8 connects to Alexa to give you rich stereo sound with vivid visuals on an 8" HD screen. Set alarms and timers, display your favorite photos, check weather and traffic as you head out, or catch up on news highlights and movie trailers. Connect with your favorite people by making hands-free video calls to the Alexa app or another Echo with a screen, use Announcements to send voice messages to every room with a supported Echo device, or use Drop In as a two-way intercom between rooms.

Good device and a nice upgrade
on March 22, 2020
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
Upgraded my bedroom first generation show to this one. It is a little bigger screen with a shorter height but it sticks out in back a little more. The one drawback I see with the device is the power cord. While it is nice that it is now detachable it could be better by getting a 90 angle plug in tip. The straight one that comes with it sticks out even further and seems to get in the way a little, at least where I have mine. The system is pretty much the same as the other ones I have but seems a bit more responsive and I noticed things are a little faster as well. Overall I would say it was a good upgrade.

Small, lightweight, easy to move around
on December 21, 2019
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
Needed some extra portable storage that was easy to store and move. This thing is great and now I am able to store all my photos so I can edit or use them on my desktop or my laptop. There are no moving parts so there is no chance the internal components will get harmed with moderate bouncing around even when files are being read or written. Happy that I was able to find this device and hoping it will hold up to the rigors of my day to day use! So far so good!

Great addition to the smart home
on December 7, 2019
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was a little skeptical when I first thought of getting these. I was pleasantly surprised after getting them and setting them up in my bedroom. My Alexa is my alarm clock to I connected the bulbs directly to the Alexa without having the need for the Phillips Hub. Once I got them connected which was pretty easy, had a fight with one but followed the direction on the Phillips web site and it worked like a charm, they were easy to control with the voice interface of the Echo Show Alexa! I never have to touch my lamps again. I have one on the wife's side and one on mine then have the two in a group. You can control each individually or both as a set. Whitest white is quite bright and you can dim them from 100% to 1% (there seems to be a little pulsing at anything under 10% I noticed). You can also change the color to whatever mood you're in and also at any level of brightness. Goes through the entire spectrum of white from 3200K to 6000K. The colors are anything in the rainbow and then some. The Alexa doesn't have the total range of color so that is a little limitation. It does have about a 30 color range. The Phillips app uses a color wheel with with the full sRGB range it appears so about 16.7 million colors (not that you'd notice some of the changes anyway). I'm not unhappy with what I can do with these in the realm of color and brightness!

Great item for the smart home
on December 7, 2019
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
I like this thermostat and it was easy to install. They look great on the wall and the neutral silver/gray frame matches pretty well and you can change the screen color to almost any shade and you can match the walls pretty close if you want to do that or just choose your favorite color. It works well with the app but it is a little limited when using it with Alexa. The skill that Honeywell wrote for the Alexa has a few things that are not as intuitive as they could be. I am also told there are things you can't do with voice but I haven't found anything yet. If you want the heat higher just say make it higher, lower then ask for lower. You can do what you can do by walking over to the thermostat on the wall so I guess that's what you need. I do have one other complaint and I am awaiting customer service to address the issue. The screen sometimes go to bright white even though I have it set to green. When it's in bright white it also doesn't dim so in the middle of the night there is a bright light streaming into my bedroom from the thermostat. You have to go to it and touch it and it is fixed, goes right back to green then dims in a few seconds. Small glitch but a little annoying. Still better than my old thermostats by a wide margin!!

OEM Ink great for the printer
on November 15, 2019
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the canon ink for my canon printer and works very well making canon prints! All the colors you need for your printer are present and in separate ink cartridges which makes it more economical. You only need to change one in color when it gets depleted and not waste any other colors. You get exceptional images with the correct inks, not washed out looking and great contrast! Wish the ink tanks were just a little bigger for the price. They seem very small.

Satisfy bandwidth-hungry gaming and streaming demands with this Linksys Max-Stream Wi-Fi router. Its next-generation multiuser MIMO technology works four times faster than conventional routers, letting multiple users enjoy low-latency VR gaming and glitch-free 4K simulcasting. This tri-band Linksys Max-Stream Wi-Fi router provides wired network sharing with its four Gigabit Ethernet ports and a USB 3.0 connector.
 

I bought the Linksys AC2200 router and installed it into my vacation home, in which, the area has very poor internet bandwidth. Speedtests show I get like 8/9 mbps Down and 3/4 mbps up. I tried installing a smartcam and it will not connect to my router.

Since connecting your camera to the router has nothing to do with the internet speed there is something else you need to look for in the connection. If you're having trouble viewing the camera through the internet then it has to do with your internet speed. You should be able to view the camera locally once connected, the modem doesn't even have to be connected tot he router for that to work.

Is this compatible with Time Warner Cable Spectrum?

This is a router and has nothing to do with your ISP. If your Modem has a ethernet port then the signal from your modem is compatible with this device. The router goes downstream from the Modem so has no bearing on ISP compatibility. The router only gives you more connection to the signal your Modem receives.

Since I already have Century link and get this router would it increase my internet connection on my gaming console?? Thanks

This has nothing to do with the speed of your internet connect. This is a device to route the signal to other devises within your network. Century Link paired with your modem controls how fast your speed is. Example would be if you are getting 100Mbps from your modem then you will get 100Mbps from you router and that's what you'll get at your console (if it can except that. If your Modem is only letting you receive 10Mbps then that's what you'll get on the rest of your network. There are a couple of other variables but that is the quick answer. There are many other things that effect your speed at the console. Hope this help a little.
