Great for quick prints for parties and such
on November 17, 2020
Posted by: Robert116
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).

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.

When I use the sunset/sunrise routine, it defaults the color to the "white" color, even though I set it to another color. I can't seem to find the setting to keep it the color I set it to when I run this routine. Any suggestions?

I'm assuming since the sun is a big bright white/yellow light the sunrise/sunset mode follows the same colors. I do know that there are several other options for color and ambiance in the Phillips app. I use the bulbs with the Echo so I don't have that capability (it's a limitation on the Echo when you don't use the Philips hub). If you are using the hub and have the Phillips app you should have some other choices of colors that perform the way you want it to for waking and sleeping. Good Luck!

Can this be used to cycle just the fan at a set time period (say turn on every half hour for 5 minutes) just to keep the air flow going even if I don't need the AC or heat? I live in a very polluted area and want my air to be filtered.

It does have some capabilities but it doesn't appear that you can set a schedule as you describe. It appears you only have four choices a day to run the fan in circulating mode (without air or heat). I have found customer service is very helpful (so far) pre and post purchase. I had questions prior to buying the thermostat and they answered in a very timely manner. I have a small annoyance issue (nothing to do with function) and they are checking into that now for me. Good luck!

I currently have a Honeywell magic stat ct3200. Will the current wiring work with the Honeywell home smart color thermostat.

I just looked up your model and it looks like the ones I replaced. My two older Honeywell thermostats were swapped out with the two home smart color thermostats. The wiring on most thermostats is generally the same depending on your system and it capability. There are a couple of limitations about some systems that these will not work on. One that I can think of right now it electric baseboard heat (these will not work with that type of system). You can check on the Honeywell web site for more details and their customer service is very good. They answered my pre-purchase questions in a very timely manner. There are about six different combinations of wiring that you can use with these thermostats. You do need a "C" wire and that can be hooked up in about five minutes usually, my older thermostats didn't have that wire attached. There should be extra wires in the bundle behind the current thermostat and you just need one to be hooked up on you main units control board and you're good to go. I did exactly that and things work very well. Just head the warnings of turning off the units at the breaker before doing the wiring. The new thermostats are awesome, hooked them to the app and the Alexa!! Just be aware there are some limitations in the Alexa skill from Honeywell but you can change the temp, get the temp and a couple of other things, which is all you really need! That's what you would do if you walked over to it and changed it there once it was set up.Good Luck!

I bought a Nest Learning, had it installed by HVAC company, but had problems with heat. Nest support, after a lot of questions, told me it was not compatible with my 10 year old Rheem heat pump system. Is this Honeywell product compatible?

This is a very specific question about a particular unit. I would contact Honeywell customer service and ask them. They were very helpful with questions I had as pre-purchase inquiries. Good Luck!

What happens if you lose electric for a while, will it keep its settongs?

Not sure how long it will keep those settings. If you have a Honeywell account those setting will be held and you can just push them back tot he thermostat when it is operational again. I did take mine off the wall after setting it up to check it on another mount downstairs (that one wasn't working (blown fuse at the furnace) so I was testing) then when I brought it back upstairs it was still set the way I had it and I didn't' have to do anything. It was only disconnected a short time though! Good Luck!

Is it possible to use the App to control the thermostat without having a Honeywell account? I do not want my data on the internet. I just want remote control.

Honeywell didn't ask for anything sensitive to get their account for the controls of the thermostats. It was the usual kind of warranty information. Name, address, etc. If you long on and check before you buy it then you can make a decision prior to getting the thermostat. If you still don't want the account then the answer is no to your question. Good Luck!

How do I install this thermostat?

This question is quite generic. Honeywell packages these with screws and anchors to mount it to the wall. You will need a level to check for level installation and the mounting plate shows you were to place the level. You will need to know your wiring from your old thermostat and have a "C" wire available or a way to connect it at the main unit with wiring that is already present, if not you would have to run wire. If you don't quite get it you should probably call your local HVAC company to have this done. It's not hard but the main control board on the heat/ac unit is sensitive and costly to replace if you make an error. Good Luck!

Hi, can that thermostat work with a two wire

Not exactly sure what you mean by two wire. Is it that you only have heating? If that is the case it will work for your heating system as long as it's a 24V system and you have a "C" wire or are able to get one connected to power the thermostat. You may need to get an HVAC company in to check your wiring before you purchase this. If you have more pre-purchase questions the customer service at Honeywell was great when I contacted them with questions. Good Luck!

how does this unit calculate or measure humidity? I see a humidity display , so there must be a sensor or calc.

The thermostat itself is a bit heavier than I thought it was going to be so I can only assume some of what I see sticking out the back of the case might be a sensor for just that purpose. Other than that you could ask Honeywell. Their customer service was very helpful at my pre-purchase stage with questions i had before buying the Thermostat. Good Luck!

How to change the battery

This thermostat doesn't have a battery to change. It runs off the "C" wire on your 24V HVAC system.
