One of the Best Cary Grant Comedies
on March 7, 2021
Posted by: BobN
Verified Purchase:Yes
Cary Grant in top form. Though usually considered a great dramatic actor for his roles in Suspicion, North by Northwest, Charade, Notorious and To Catch a Thief, Grant also left us a legacy of films in which he showed deft comedic touch (Bringing Up Baby, His Girl Friday, Arsenic and Old Lace, Father Goose). One of these top-notch comedies is Operation Petticoat: a very funny, family friendly movie with an all star cast.

A 4K Delight That Lacks Character Development
on March 4, 2021
Posted by: BobN
Verified Purchase:Yes
Watching movies in 4K HDR is mind-blowing compared to standard Blu-ray HD movies, and this is a great start to begin seeing the difference. The way some of the scenes have deep, intense blacks with good shadow detail really shows off the benefits of HDR. An extremely colorful and visually vibrant movie that really pushes the envelope in terms of picture and surround sound effects. The story could have been better, but this can happen when too much plot is crammed into a 106 minute movie that is fast-paced while lacking character development.

One Amazing 4K-HDR Video
on March 4, 2021
Posted by: BobN
Verified Purchase:Yes
It should be noted that this 4K video uses some of the same content found in the Planet Earth II series (with Robert Redford narrating). If you already own the Planet Earth II 4K video, you are getting some of the same content. That being said, this is a must buy for those who have 4K HDR TVs and want to show off how great it can truly look! It presents some outstanding views of animals in action around the world.

Great 4K-HDR Movie with Awesome Surround Sound
on March 4, 2021
Posted by: BobN
Verified Purchase:Yes
I never saw or heard about this movie until I made a blind buy based on the reviews (plus I'm trying to build up my 4K-HD library of movies, especially those on sale). The movie itself was very good -- definitely higher than my expectations. Great character development and the cast was spot on. The ultra 4K disk has some awesome audio as the rear & height speakers were filling the room with surround sound. The 4K HDR video was very vivid -- the picture quality on this is stunning! This was a really fun and enjoyable movie. Definitely reference material!

Great little portable SSD
on February 19, 2021
Posted by: BobN
Verified Purchase:Yes
I only buy SanDisk SD cards for my cameras because of their reliability. Since I've never had an issue with any of my SanDisk products, I decided to buy this external SanDisk SSD. It has given my computer new life as the boot drive with all my software installed: very fast startup, programs launch quickly, and everything about my computer is so much faster and more responsive! There is a slightly more expensive version of this SSD that is about twice as fast (NVMe type), but your computer will need a fast USB C 3.2 input to take full advantage of it's speed. This version is still very good and cheaper.

Good Power Rating, Reliable, Affordable
on February 19, 2021

Verified Purchase:Yes
Reliable and affordable (when on sale) backup UPS power. I have used both CyberPower and APS backup UPS devices over the years and they have both served me well and protected my valuable electronics from power surges, brown outs and blackouts. This unit provides plenty of backup power at a low price. Recommended.

Fast! (and Compact) External SSD
on February 19, 2021
Posted by: BobN
Verified Purchase:Yes
Let me preface this by saying that I only buy SanDisk SD cards for my cameras (Sony & Nikon) because of their legendary reliability. Since I've never had an issue with any SanDisk products that I purchased in the past, I decided to buy this external MVMe type SSD. I have a five-year-old iMac with a 1TB Fusion internal HD and it was getting sluggish at times (the spinning beach ball popping up constantly and stopping me in my tracks). After attaching the SanDisk SSD to a USB 3.0 port, reformatting and installing macOS Big Sur, I migrated all my software to the new SSD and made it my startup drive. What a difference! This SanDisk SSD is blazing fast and everything loads and runs so much quicker now. Spinning beach balls have virtually disappeared and it's almost like I have a new iMac on my desk! Highly reccomended.

Easy, Accurate, Fast way to do Tax Returns
on January 26, 2019
Posted by: BobN
from Beaverton, OR
Verified Purchase:Yes
Have been using TurboTax software to do my tax returns (married with child) since at least 2004 and am always confident that I am getting the lowest tax rate (Federal & State) available to me. The accuracy of my returns is guaranteed and the EasyStep data entry takes you through the entire process of entering all the information you need for getting the best results. TurboTax also imports all the data from your prior year's tax returns (assuming you used TurboTax to create them) and avoids the hassle of re-entering a lot of the same information each time you do your taxes. Highly recommended!

Logitech Wireless Mouse Marathon M705 lets you power on... and on. It uses less power than comparable wireless mice from other companies, so you'll go up to three full years between battery changes.~ And it uses a tiny wireless receiver that stays plugged in to your computer, so your mouse is ready to go-whenever, wherever, and for as long as it takes. Plus, hyper-fast scrolling means you'll fly through long documents to find what you need in a flash. Advanced Optical Tracking means you'll get smooth, responsive cursor control. And the sculpted, right-hand shape means you'll be as comfortable finishing up as you were getting started.

Great Feel & Reliable Performance
on January 26, 2019
Posted by: BobN
from Beaverton, OR
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have been using a Logitech M705 mouse for five years now with my iMac computer and have been very pleased with it. Though it is still going strong after all these years, I decided to pick up another M705 from Best Buy when it went on sale for half-price. The M705 has ample buttons and each can be assigned any function from an extensive list in the Logitech Control Panel. The M705 has good size & heft and a great feel in your hand -- it is designed to be a desktop mouse and not intended for portable devices. The battery life goes on forever. I have only had to replace the AA batteries once since I first purchased the mouse in 2014. Overall, I highly recommend this Logitech mouse!

WILL THIS WORK WITH NEW 2018 MAC AIR?

Yes. It will work with any Apple computer that supports a mouse and uses the OS X operating system (Version 10.9.x or later -- including macOS Mojave). The Logitech Control Panel will install in the System Preferences app and can be used to configure the M705's multiple buttons & functions.

What is the actual refresh rate? 120 or 60hz

The Vizio P65-E1 P-Series 65" Full Array LED Smart TV has a true native 120 Hz LED panel. This is currently the fastest native refresh rate for any LED display, regardless of manufacturer or stated refresh rates. The higher advertised refresh rates for most TVs are achieved using backlight flashing to mimic a higher refresh rate. This actually works quite well on most LED televisions and I alway recommend setting the Clear Action (or MotionFlow or whatever a TV maker calls it) to ON (or its highest setting). This really helps generate an image with more motion detail and smoothness when the screen displays an object in motion and a scene with camera panning.

Our 55” LG often drops signal when streaming Prime & Netflix. Looking to upgrade to the Vizio P-series 65”. How is the streaming quality/signal?

The Vizio P65-E1 P-Series 65" Full Array LED Smart TV that I purchased in Nov. 2018 never drops the signal and has had no problems streaming Netflix and Youtube (I do not have an Amazon Prime account). Be aware though that I have a high-end, high-speed multi-channel MIMO TP-Link router with beam forming and six antennas, and high-speed 150 Mbps fiber optic internet service. I can only say that with the right wireless router and high-speed internet, this TV works great!

How far apart are the legs on the stand?

The legs on the Vizio P65-E1 P-Series 65" LED Smart TV are 51" apart from outside edge to outside edge at their widest points.
