What I was hoping for

Verified Purchase:Yes
This was gift, and is so much better than any chair I have used. It doesn't cause me to sweat like the PU leather chairs, and the fabric geeks great. Long gaming sessions are comfortable as well. I am of average, or just above average hight, and the chair fits me perfectly. Easy to recommend.

Works okay
on June 14, 2019
Posted by: RanPer
Verified Purchase:Yes
I like the way this thermostat looks, and the touch screen works well. The software is usable, but not great. My biggest complaint is....I can have the cooling set to 78 degrees, and it start cooling just fine. Once it gets to 78 it shuts off. However, about a minute or so later the thermostat will show it is 74. Not sure if I am going to keep. I am torn on recommending this or not. Since Best Buy has a good return policy it might be worth it for some.

I have owned almost all of the major brands of streaming device. Roku is easily my favorite. The interface is clean and user friendly. Not to mention it is very snappy. I didn't think I would use the headphone feature, but it is great when the family goes to bed early and I don't want to disturb anyone.

Store your files safely on this 240GB PNY solid-state drive. It achieves write speeds of 500MB/sec. and read speeds of 535MB/sec., providing transfer rates faster than traditional hard drives. The lack of moving parts on this PNY solid-state drive reduces its chance of failure.

So much better

Replaced the hard drive in a Mid 2011 Macbook Pro. It worked great, but you may need run a few terminal commands to enable trim. This is an Apple thing and not an issue with PNY.

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.
