Better than I thought

I have had good luck with HP printers, and hope this one does me well. If prints well, and faster then I expected. The touch screen is responsive and eat to use. Which is more than I can say for the web interface it has. The duplex printing works well. Printing from the phone and tablet is also fantastic and has worked flawlessly. Easy to recommend.

Work well

The temps seem accurate and connecting was quick and easy. No connection issues, and no issues with distance from the thermostat. My biggest complaint is its motion sensing. It isn't bad, but isn't good either. I can say there tech support is great.

With built-in Alexa Voice Service, ecobee4 can listen to your voice commands and respond. Have it set a timer, read you the news, adjust the temperature, and more. It also comes with a room sensor that helps manage hot and cold spots in your home, delivering comfort in the rooms that matter. And because they can detect occupancy, they can automatically enable the right mode on your ecobee4 for energy savings when it senses no one is home.

Great support

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have purchased 2 as well as sensors, and they work great and look good. I disabled Alexa as the sound isn't stellar and prefer to use my current echo dot. The thermostat seems accurate, but something is affecting the temps. I ended up putting plumbers putty in the hole where the wires come through, but no change. Then added insulation in the hole and still no change. However through these issues I worked with support, and they were great. That alone is worth the price. Easy to recommend.

These things are great. Pairs with ipad and iPhone without issue. Even shows battery life on the phone and tablet. Not sure how long the battery lasts as the case always keeps them charged. I really like the built in cable. These are by far the most comfortable in ear earphones I have ever used. One last thing....they sound great!!!

Tap this Nintendo Mipha amiibo, and receive exciting in-game extras when you play Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The collectible figurine looks great on a shelf, but it holds exciting secrets when you use it in the game. This Nintendo Mipha amiibo figure is a replica of the battle-worthy Zora Champion.

Maybe it is just me, but I had difficulty finding this one, however, walked into the store the other day, and luck was on my side. It is now proudly displayed with my overgrown collection of Amiibos.

Not much to say on a power adapter. It charges the iPad mini just fine. Basically it is typical Apple, expensive, but works. Thanks to Best Buy for at least having a little discount on it when I purchased.

Nice upgrade
on April 19, 2019
Posted by: RanPer
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was trying to make up my mind between this iPad and the newer Air. I chose this one for the 120hz refresh, and better sound. My wife purchased the new mini, and it is slightly faster for basic tasks such as web surfing, but the iPad pro was notably faster in games. The pro is also smoother then scrolling web pages. Sound is better with this one, but it is still a tablet, so sound is not going to be great. I am starting to move away from Apple due to their recent censorship stuff, so this tablet needs to last me a while.

iPad mini is beloved for its size and capability. And now there are even more reasons to love it. The A12 Bionic chip with Neural Engine. A 7.9" Retina display with True Tone. And Apple Pencil support, so you can capture your biggest ideas, wherever they come to you.

What I was hoping for
on April 5, 2019
Posted by: RanPer
My iPad mini 4 lasted 1 year and 3 months, so a little nervous. However, I admit this is a huge upgrade from the older mini. Very fast.
Pros:
1. Very fast
2. Great size
3. Apple pencil support. I won't use this as it is way too expensive
4. Can use my current screen protectors and case. Had to drill a small hole for the mic
Neutral:
1. Screen is just okay.
2. Stying is good but dated
3. Truetone. IMO it just makes the screen look yellow, but it can be turned off.
4. Price is not good nor is it bad.
Cons:
1. Still wishing for storage expandability
2. No ProMotion 120hz screen
3. Seems to take longer to charge
4. Apple has begun censoring some apps and podcasts.

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.

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.
