Works as it should but a little lacking
on October 16, 2022
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
Seems to be doing it's job but I think the signal strength on this new one isn't as good as the old one I had. It also has half the antenna array the old one had. Not sure if that matters as much as what's inside. I think they do this on purpose so you have to invest in the mesh unit to extend the signal. My downstairs thermostat is barely connected and it's pretty much almost line of sight. It about 40" of open air with no walls in between and it dosn't connect well sometime. All my wired devices are excellent like they should be. Guess it's just the nature of technology!

Good stand that lets you adjust the angle
on February 11, 2022
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
This stand is not bad but it does lack the tilting angle that I was hoping for. It does tilt the unit forward but I wish it would go a little more to make the screen fully vertical. It almost gets there but there is still an angle upward toward the ceiling. As this is my bedside table alarm clock and so much more I'd like to be able to see it better from position that is a slight bit below the device. Other than that personal issue it is well made and the show stay put on the stand very well.

Very good system and great price.
on February 11, 2022
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
Seems ot be a very well made system with good components as far as I can tell. It was a very good price for the spec in the system. I was shopping around for a new tablet but it seems that they are all about 10" now so I went with a little bigger with more power than an android table. This one is a full Windows 11 and from what I have heard can handle many of the same android apps. Not sure if that is going to happen since I can do most things I do on the web browser without loading special apps. I think the only thing missing would be dedicated video and not have to rely on the integrated kind. I have found that the dedicated ones work just a bit better but this seems to be working well so I'm not complaining (yet). Hopefully everything I try to do can be accomplished with this system.

Works well but seems very flimsy. Did have trouble pairing with Bluetooth on my system and had to use the dongle. Once the dongle was used everything seemed to work fine and connect correctly.

Replaced older model
on April 9, 2021
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
I needed to replace my older model GE Microwave so I looked for the similiar model. The only thing I noticed upon opening the box was the feel of this new unit. It feels a bit light and the door and latches are nothing like the older one. It seems ot be good in the short time that I've had it and seems to do what you need it to do so I can only hope this one last as long as the one it replaces but at 20-25 years old I don't have high hopes just due to the feel but I could be wrong! I'll get back to you in 20 years on the longevity!

Overall good quality at an affordable price
on March 27, 2021
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
Overall the phone is pretty darn good. The screen is bright and responsive and the resolution is superb, everything I've done so far looks great on screen. The battery seems to last for a good long time, haven't had to charge it throughout the day and charging it overnight keeps it going all day so far. The usual thin slippery size needs an auxiliary case of some kind so you don't throw it across the room if you move. storage space and app space is good so far. A lot less than half of the 128GB storage is being used by the apps I have present and the operating system which is about 13% so plenty of room for other things. There is somewhat of a learning curve between this and my old phone (also Motorola) in regard to the operating system. I can't find things and the volume control is completely different. It has a new kind of home, open app switching and stopping apps interface but I found it did let me return to the old arrow, dot and square at the bottom to control those things. Those controls are much more decisive and easier to use than the swipe here in different ways for everything. I guess I could have gotten used to the new way but why change something that has worked. This of course is my personal preference. The camera on this model seems pretty awesome, still nowhere near the quality of my DSLR but better than previous versions. 5G seems to work OK but I'm not sure yet. Sometimes it seems to lag and it shows I have the signal and a good signal but you wait for something to happen sometimes. It does have auto switching for the data track so if you're in an area with better 4G LTE then you drop to that and have good access. My building where I work has internal antennas that are LTE so I get that there because 5G isn't available yet. So far I'm not impressed by the 5G but it is in it's infancy getting to be a toddler soon so there is room to grow. If you're at a wireless network it is easy to connect and you can always use that which could be faster than even 5G at it's best. I purchased two of these phones, one for me and one for the wife. I am always a little confused as to why two of the same model phones act differently during set up and in use in some regards. They both work well just some things work differently and it's not apps but things on the phone. This is just an observation and nothing that is a detractor for use.

They work very good for the price. I was replacing a few that were stolen and found this package and I thought I'd give it a try. They perform very well and the capacity is more than sufficient for my needs. I use them for music to be played on my car stereo using that USB port. No drops or skips and the music sound great, all I can ask for so they work!!

Not exactly what I was looking for but it does what it's meant to do. Clean your monitor screens, TV's and anything else with a screen. Comes with it's own cloth so there is no searching for the right type of cloth for that big screen TV so you don't scratch it up.

This one was to replace an older model and it was worth the price. It is much faster to boot up and has some good new features. It seems to be very accurate and gives you a heads up on what's coming up so you can make lane changes and make turns without trouble. Overall a good device.

Great TV for the price point
on November 17, 2020
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've had Samsung products for quite some time now and this TV does not disappoint. It has a great picture quality for the price point and the clarity is better than my previous TV that was maxed out at 1080P resolution. This 4K resolution is definitely noticeable in it's difference. Side by side in the store you can see a difference between the four Q series TV's but once you get it home it's hard to notice that this one doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the upper models. Overall there is good color and clarity.

Customize your gaming rig with this PNY GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER graphics card. The 4GB of GDDR6 memory and 1280 CUDA processing cores let you play modern games smoothly, while the DisplayPort, HDMI and DVI-D ports offer flexible connectivity to UHD monitors. This PNY GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER graphics card has NVIDIA Ansel technology for capturing quality in-game screenshots, and the NVIDIA Turing architecture delivers ultra-realistic visuals.
 

Does this item work with the dell optiplex 9020 mini tower

I looked up the system and it appears that it might work in that case on that motherboard. Get the Dell service manual and check on the upgrade part to be sure.

Will this work with a HP Pavillion 590-p0086? It has a 310 w power supply. Will it fit in the bay?

Not familiar with that model of HP computer so I looked it up and the specs I saw would have to make me say yes it would work. However, 310Watts is kind of pushing it to the limit. It may work depending on many other factors and components in the case that are drawing power. You'll need a six pin connector for the card itself and the specs for the card say it will be pulling 100watts on it's own. It looks like a very small tower and the motherboard pictured appears to have only one PCIe-x16 slot that is mounted very close to what appears to be USB ports that are on board. You would have to check with HP to get the tech manual that machine to see if it can accommodate a double width video card without hitting the ports. Hope this help a little, without seeing it I'm not sure how accurate this information is for you.

Enjoy enhanced viewing with this 32-inch Samsung monitor. The widescreen display lets you browse multiple windows and applications comfortably, and the upscaling technology boosts the clarity of lower resolutions to match UHD-level picture quality. This Samsung monitor uses AMD FreeSync technology to maintain a consistent refresh rate for smooth visual performance.Supporting a billion shades of color, the UJ59 delivers incredibly vivid and realistic images. Its greater accuracy means colors appear more natural and true to life, making the UJ59 ideal for photo, video and graphics applications.
 

If the monitor run in 4k 60hrz can it run in 2k 144 or 165 or 120 hrz

Doesn't appear that it is possible to run that refresh rate. The highest it goes is 75hz on some of the lowest resolutions. This was using a GTX1650Super as a video card.

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.
 

Can you set two alarm times for M-F only?

You can set as many alarms as you would like. I don't believe there is a limit but there are times I have 6-8 alarms set for different thing and it works fine. I do however set them in the app after the first one (you have to use the device for one) then you have a bit more control and can see better what you are setting. You can do them all on the device I just find it easier in the app.

Does the "drop in" feature work with this device? If so, can any friend or family drop in?

Drop in works fine and you can approve anyone you want to be able to drop in.

Can a second voice recognition be added, and if so how can this be done.

The three people in my house use the same devices and there is never an issue with it understanding everyone. It always asks to learn my voice better but I refuse her. She works fine though whoever talks to her.

Can this be used like a digital photo frame?

You can display photos from your Amazon photos but there are drawbacks. There is always other things on the screen no matter how you have the setting adjusted. It is not a true digital picture frame.

Depends on your Thermostats. I have mine connected to the show and it seems to work well for the major functions. Turn up, turn down, change mode. The interface between my Honeywell and Alexa is limited but it works fine.

Store files securely on this 1TB Samsung portable SSD. It transfers data at speeds of up to 540MB/s for increased work productivity, and it connects to Android smart phones with a downloadable app, so you can backup pictures and music. This Samsung portable SSD is smaller than a standard business card for easy transport.
 

My husband has a desktop Dell. How much data will this external hard drive hold? Also, will it connect to his Dell? We have a lot of pictures saved on the Dell and would like to unload them. We are not that computer savvy? Thanks.

I use this for my entire catalog of photos in Lightroom and there is only about half the drive space taken up. Not sure how many photos you're talking about and being a non static number for the size, as every photo is different, then it it hard to say if 1TB will store all your photos. I can tell you I have 230,000 and most are taken in a RAW format by the camera and those are the ones I have on this drive that is now half full. You can also connect this to your Dell desktop without worry. I myself have a Dell and I use it regularly with this drive. You plug it into your USB port on the computer and you should see it in your file manager very shortly after that. (takes a few moment s to read and or set itself up). Hope everything works out for you and you get the storage space you need.

Does this work with the included Type C to C cable on the 2019 iMAC's Thunderbolt port? There also is a Type A to C cable included, but want to know if C2C works?

Since I don't have the iMac I can't be sure but it should connect. However the two are not always compatible and there are differences. The only way to know for sure is to either ask Samsung or Apple if this combination will work. The ports looks similar but the technology can be very different depending on how it's implemented. Hope you get this figured out good luck!
