No more notch.

I just couldn't take the iPhone notch any longer. Been using an iPhone for years, and decided to finally go for an Android powered device. So glad I did. You can do so much more with this than I could do with my iPhone, and surprising to me...it is easier to use. But the best feature of all...NO NOTCH.

Great device for most.

5 star device for most, but a 4 star for me. This is a good device for most people. It is easy to use, easy to hook up, and has almost any channel you can imagine, so why only 4 stars? Because there are better devices (that cost more), so wouldn't be fair to rate this as high as other devices that I own that are better and faster. But for most people this is probably the price performance champ. If you want a snappier faster interface you are going to have to spend a little more.

The Hisense A4 Series HD Smart TV is an entertainment must-have that features tons of built-in apps via the Hisense Smart Platform (VIDAA OS), making it easier than ever to personalize your entertainment experience. Other details include DTS Virtual X for crisp audio, and Motion Rate 120 keeps up with the fastest sports, movies and gaming. The screen size also makes it ideal for smaller rooms and budgets.

Not good at all.
on December 2, 2023
Posted by: RanPer
Verified Purchase:Yes
Okay at best. The TV feels cheap, the remote is terrible, the smart TV features are almost not usable, and the picture is below average. And the sound...it has it. I had to add a smart stick to it so would add that as a cost. It works for what we use it for, but even for a second TV or bedroom TV I would pass on this and go with something else.

Experience true versatility with Legion Go handheld Gaming PC from Lenovo.
Posted by: RanPer
Coming from the 256GB Steam Deck, and this is exactly what I was looking for when I purchased the Deck. Better screen, better compatibility, buttons feel better, and the ability to easily install other apps such as Playnite. One thing the reviewers are not doing is upping the settings for the VRAM when testing, so it looks to test a little slower than the ROG Ally when they are actually the same performance in the graphics area. When I see a reviewer do this (not up the VRAM), I totally discount their knowledge of the product they are reviewing. Some complain about it having Windows as the underpinnings, but for me that is a pro. I can minimize the game and check my emails, and then back to gaming. Also, games just work and I don't have to worry if the game has a green checkmark like I have to do with my Deck. My only complaint is the Legion Go software, but it is exactly what I expected as it a new device and the ROG Ally and Steam Deck had early issues as well, but again, I installed Playnite and just bypassed anyway, so not a huge deal at all as I probably would have done this anyway. Pros: Comfort (this one suppressed me), stick and button feel, D-Pad feels great as well, screen size (great for those of us that like games where there is text we have to be able to actually read), color, brightness, and vibrancy. Has a very nice and usable mouse (A must for these type of devices IMO). Built in kickstand. Performance. Easy to install other games that are not Steam. Cons: The Legion Go software (Legion Space) still has to grow. Battery life (But all these devices are plagued by this),
This thing exceeded my expectations, and have the handheld I was hoping for.

Better than expected, and so glad I bought this.

Verified Purchase:Yes
This thing is awesome. I wasn't sure what to expect, but seemed like a unique item. It did come with 2 of the pods out of their plastic containers, but AeroGarden was great to send out a replacement for those. I like to buy from companies with good customer service. Been spicing up our cooking on a regular basis. One thing to note is the light is very very bright, so keep that in mind as you will have to find a place out of the way if bright lights bother you. Easy to recommend.

Good, but has shortcomings that seem to be ignored
on February 18, 2022
Posted by: RanPer
Verified Purchase:Yes
Happy, but has some shortcomings. I have used 2 different Android Wear watches over the years with my iPhone before purchasing this.
Pros: Comfortable, Easy to read display, notifications work better than, good menu, fast charging.
Cons: Charger is very picky on the charging brick you use. Only one I could get to work is..you guessed it...Apples. Missing basic apps that my Android watch had..like a keyboard. Not very many standard watch faces compared to my Android watches, and not as good. Everything app seems to be a "rental". I am okay with purchasing, but not a monthly fee for better watch faces or complications, etc. Grid view management is terrible to manage as when you move anything touching icons drop. Auto dim is not very good. Too dim when it is dark. Notifications popping up can be hit or miss. Memoji app is only womens faces. They say it is gender neutral, but it looks like it is just all womens faces you can put facial hair on or short hair cuts on. But no matter how you create your avatar it will look like a women. Price is still high even for the SE. Family member has a Samsung Galaxy 4 and it was much less, and more comparable to the 7.
I know it sounds like I don't like the watch, but I really do like it, but the shortcomings do not seem to be pointed out in reviews.

I didn't know what to expect with this thing, but can say I love it. Are fries chicken nuggets, etc. as crispy as if you really fried them...no. However, I can say that it is better than the regular oven. It is a good balance of health and taste, and that is exactly what I was hoping for.

Avoid speeding tickets with this Uniden R7 radar detector.

This Uniden R7 radar tracks up to four signals simultaneously for greater awareness as you drive. The RDA-HDWKT, hardwire kit is available as an additional sale.

No regrets.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I really like this thing. So far has been the best RD I have purchased, and I have had many in my day from most companies. Uniden during the early days when X & K was the only bands to Whistler, Bel (Before and after Escort), and Escort. And even the R3. Of all the ones I have owned this one is probably my favorite. I will say, that although the arrows are nice, I would probably not sell a detector I liked just because of them. IMO, the only other "must have" feature away from detection reliability would be auto lockouts of false alarms. My Escort Max was fantastic here, and believe they recently added this feature for the R7 (Validate this is correct before purchasing if that is a must have feature for you). Very easy to recommend this RD. Detection is second to non, looks great, and has a lot of features I really like. Although I don't use an RD to speed I do like the extra awareness it provides.

Would not buy again.
on May 8, 2021

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have only used it once, and it worked fine. It replaced a Blu-ray/DVD RW drive that I left at a job site. I did prefer my other drive. I don't use these often, but do need from time to time. I would not buy this again. Not because I don't like it, and it did work, but shortly after purchasing Dell hit us with a commercial that, IMO, is political, and I don't like to do business with companies that get into politics. Go with a company that just sells a good product at a fair price, and stays away picking political sides. I have owned a few of these, and have had good luck with all of them. Now if I could just stop leaving these on job sites I could save some money.

Works as I had hoped.

Verified Purchase:Yes
IMO, something like this is difficult to review. It looks fine, it charges well, and is fairly priced. I almost went with an off brand due to stock issues, but right as I was about to check out I checked BB one more time, and they had them. If you have more than one controller I would recommend this or something equivalent, and it does make charging more content, and it is easier to always have a charged controller.

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?

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?

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.
