I have 5 of these controlling fans, lamps, etc. Even have one that my cable modem is plugged into since I have to reboot it all of the time. Saves me time. The software works great, and all integrates with Alexa nicely. This brand has always been great price/performance for me.

I have some more expensive $150 headsets from TB, but do not find they are any better than these. I can easily recommend these per their sound and build quality. Works great with both PC and PS4.

Is this my favorite game...no. But it is a very good game. Tight controls, good menu, and love going for upgraded item. Missions are a little more varied than the first one IMO. I have not yet finished the game yet, but it is great fun especially with a friend.

A must play
on October 26, 2018
Posted by: RanPer
Verified Purchase:Yes
I am writing this for my son. He has completed 100% of the base game (Plat trophy), and has purchased the DLC and has started on it. For him to commit this much time to a single game speaks volumes for this title. I on the other hand thought it was just okay (3.5 starts). Not because of any glaring issues, but because the game didn't keep calling me back with a huge desire to play. Since I am an older game, maybe this has something to do with it. Per my son, this is a must own game.

I will never run speaker wires again
on October 26, 2018
Posted by: RanPer
Verified Purchase:Yes
These do exactly what they say. Surround speakers work great using these. I have always run speaker wire in my houses, and just moved. I am now a little old to be running wires, and did not want to pay someone. I decided to take a chance, and I am glad I did. I cannot tell any difference then when I had standard hard wire setup. I bought 2 sets. One for an Onkyo setup and the other for a Yamaha.

Better than expected
on October 26, 2018
Posted by: RanPer
Verified Purchase:Yes
I must admit, I wasn't expecting much from this keyboard/touch-pad. The touch-pad is almost as good as my Mac, and that is saying a lot. It is butter smooth. Having experience with the second gen butterfly keyboard from Apple, I assumed this low profile keyboard would be just as bad yet serviceable. I was wrong. The keys feel fantastic. I love the way it attaches to the tablet, and the overall way it functions.

Just say no!
on October 26, 2018
Posted by: RanPer
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was so excited to see a fishing game for the Switch. I played a PC fishing game many years ago that I loved, and the thought of playing something similar on the go was awesome. However, within an hour my excitement dropped.
Pros:
There is fishing
Controls are fine, but not great (but you can't use your Pro Controller)
Local multiplayer.
Physical copy, so I could sell it back the following day.
Cons:
Could not use the pro controller.
Can't go anywhere on the lake. Just the same location where you can move a little bit one way or another.
Controls - Like above...not good, but not bad
Some small fish seemed to fight harder than large ones.
Graphics are okay at best
Environment is very static
Weak presentation.
Game just seems thrown together.
I took this game back a day or two later, and took my losses trading it in. Might be one of the worst games I have played. The cons list doesn't seem that bad, but it just is a lazy made game, with very little to do, and just isn't fun.

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.
