Works okay. Once it expired it is a bit on the expensive side, and the app is terrible. I probably recommend, but that is because no one is great IMO.

My Motorola went bad, so stopped by BB and picked this up. I like this is contained in a stick instead of cable to the device. Works so much better for my cars layout. It has connected first time every time so far.

I got this for my Switch 2 as I am not going pay $85+tax for Nintendo branded and glad I did. You may need to update the firmware as it was acting a bit crazy jumping areound on the screen from time to time. After the update all great. Feels of great quality and for a good price. Software is even good. I am not a fan of the color to be honest, I dont care that much as i dont look at it while playing. Easy recommend if you dont want to pay the Nintendo tax.

It is fine

Hard to rank. I purchased on a whim since it was in stock, and cant say it is a must have. It is basically the Switch that is a bit better. The main thing for me is the bigger screen. It doesnt hold a candle graphically to Xbx or PS5, and the crazy pricing on games is rediculouse. I usually buy a load of games with a new console, but just going with MK for now due to the high prices from Nintendo. The controllers are still uncomfortable, but better then the old ones. Best feature for me is mainly the larger screen. It looks great too. Eventhough it is better then the Switch, i wouldnt recommend unless you are looking for your first Switch.

I needed a small form factor computer, and the mini is a great price performer. I left apple as they refused to listen to their customers, and see that is still the case in some areas. However, this little box is a great deal, no denying that. Getting anything non apple to work can still be a challenge but knew what i was getting into. I didn't hold any of that against apple or this review as i live this little maxing and what it can do. So why one star. Easy, the power button. It was magnified when i got the spinning wheel of death and ending the task didn't help, so needed a hard power siren. As luck would have it, i had just got everything all tucked away and had to try and get to the power button. That solidified my thoughts that this was one of the dumbest design choice in the history of computing. But like the computer enough to only take off one star for this. Easy recommendation.

Exceded expectation. Not a fan of the company, but no denying this headset is awesome. Going from wired to wireless is a game changer. The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because it is the most uncomfortable thing I have ever put on my head no exceptions.

Usable, but very slow. As long as you just ask it questions and have it play music every now and then you might like the Echo Show, but it so laggy when trying to use it that it is so frustrating. There is a lot more to say on things I tried, but the slowness of the device just made most things not worth using this. Thankfully I got it free with a TV, or I would have taken it back to the store.

I have 3 of these. One for my personal computer. One for a sim racing setup. One for my office computer. That probably tells you how much I like these things. However, if you are not very tech savvy, it may be difficult for you to setup and use.

Fighting the Final Boss? Binge-watching your favorite series? Working on spreadsheets from home? The VIOTEK GNV34DB2 is the multimedia, multitasking solution for you! It features an ultra-wide display resolution of 3440x1440p ~ more than twice the pixel density of full-HD monitors. The GNV34DB2 delivers vibrant images, rich with color. With a 3,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, you~ll get deep, inky blacks and brilliant whites. Its lightning-fast 100Hz refresh rate produces flicker-free video with virtually zero dropped frames. The deep 1500R curved screen delivers superior viewing comfort that wraps around your field of vision. It~s more ergonomically ideal than 1800R curved monitors but still has a relatively thin frame. That puts you right at the heart of the action and into the movie. And the 21:9 aspect ratio lets you watch movies with true cinema quality, the way filmmakers intended. The GNV34DB2 is packed from edge to edge with advanced features for an incredible gaming experience. Activate AMD FreeSync and enjoy smooth gameplay with significant reduction to image distortion (stuttering, tearing, ghosting) during motion-heavy games. The Viotek Gaming Suite includes GAMEPLUS crosshairs to enhance your aim, turning every shot into a bullseye. FPS/RTS optimizations bring out extra detail in darker images: see snipers hiding in shadows before they get the drop on you. Fully adjustable, the color calibration options let you tweak the color balance to your exact preference. And a blue-light filter minimizes eyestrain so you can play or watch all night. Declutter your desktop. Say goodbye to dual-monitor setups. One GNV34DB2 is all you need. The 21:9 ultra-wide display lets you experience truly magnificent multitasking with three-input picture-in-picture (PIP) and picture-by-picture (PBP). Connect another PC or laptop, game console, or streaming box with the three HDMI ports or DisplayPort. Use the monitor~s 3.5mm audio jack to connect a soundbar or speakers. Movie lovers. Avid gamers. Content creators. Power users. The GNV34DB2 34-inch ultrawide 100Hz monitor has something for everyone.
 

I travel constantly and have to set up/break down my monitor frequently. Does this have quick release from the stand, or do you have to unscrew it to detach the monitor from the stand?

I have mine wall mounted so could not verify. However, looking at the manual and the mount itself, I think it is a quick release. You can probably get email Viotek and verify as their support has been fantastic for me during pre purchase.

Love this monitor so far, but I bought a VESA mount for it that fits VESA 75x75mm and 100x100mm, and it doesn't line up right. Is there a piece of hardware needed for this to be used wit a VESA Mount?

I am able to use my 100/75 VESA fine with it. I believe it used 75x75.

Is it LCD or LED?

LED is a type of LCD.
This explains in more detail.
https://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/led-vs-lcd-tvs/

In the description from Vitec it shows "Rear LED".
https://viotek.com/gnv34db-uwqhd-curved-gaming-monitor-100hz-1440p-vesa/

So in short this is an LCD monitor with LED backlighting. This is the case with most modern monitors. BTW..I do really like this monitor. I basically use if for sim racing.

The right temperature in the right places. These wireless room sensors work with ecobee4, ecobee3 Lite, and ecobee3 Wi-Fi smart thermostats.
 

Can these units be used without the thermostat? I just wanted to connect them to my router to monitor the temperature only. Not to control the temperature.

No. You can only pair with the Ecobee thermostat they were designed for.

I am purchasing two separate Ecobee 3 lite thermostats for two different apartments. Can I break up these sensors so that I connect them to separate thermostat units?

Yes. You will be entering the code in the back of the sensor into the main unit.
