The perfect temp in every living area of the house
on July 22, 2022

Verified Purchase:Yes
These gizmos are cool. Remote temperature sensors that I have placed in areas of our three level home.
When connected to the required Nest Smart Thermostat, I can set any one of these locations to be the home thermostat's target temp.
My wife is in the office during most weekdays, so I target that as the area that we want to be most comfortable.
During the hot summer nights we prioritize our bedroom to reach the preferred temperature while sleeping.
Simple, easy to use and install

This thing is pricy, but the information that it proves is astounding!
I'm using it to track my others in working my way back toward a less pudgey frame, and watching while this scale tracks tends for weight, muscle %, water %, & fat %.
It is solid, well-built, easy to set up, and can work on nearly any floor surface.
I have set up profiles to track myself, my daughter, and (don't tell her) my wife.

Nearly all Jack Ryan at my fingertips

Verified Purchase:Yes
Most all of these titles were titles that I already own on either DVD or Blu-ray, so the pack was picked up on sale, as an upgrade in image and audio quality.
Each film benefits from the added resolution, color depth, and high Dynamic Range that is brought by this UHD release.
Audio, while basically the same mix as before, is more dynamic due to having less compression required to fit on the UHD media. I only wish that these had all been remastered in Dolby Atmos audio - Imagine how encompassing the audio 'could' be, placing you square in the middle of claustrophobic submarines playing a game of hide & seek benefits the waves of the Atlantic.
These area good upgrade for image quality, but a missed opportunity when considering what could have been where audio is concerned.

Upgrade worthy

Verified Purchase:Yes
A great upgrade for those with first generation Nest Smart Thermostats, with only modest features making it a worthy upgrade from the second generation.
I appreciate the larger display as well as the support for 5ghz WiFi.
Re-creating an established heating/cooling schedule is a pain though. I had hoped that by now, Google would have an option to migrate existing schedules.

OMG I have seen this movie a dozen times, but never like THIS!
4K UHD images are crisp, colors are rich and vibrant, HDR black levels are inky with great detail and the remastered audio ...the AUDIO is a sublime all encompassing Dolby Atmos which is active on all channels and encompasses the viewer in the sounds of the desert, the feel of war, and the sweeping classic cinematic score!
This is one upgrade not to miss!

Heats and froths without scalding

Great product simple to clean as it is to use.
Simply pour in your preferred milk (or nut juice) and press the froth button (or the heated froth button for warm froth). It'll stop after a preset time, leaving you with foamy, frothy milk (or nut juice) to spoon or fancily pour over the (hopefully caffeinated) beverage of your choice.

A near perfect upgrade from my 75" Samsung TV
on July 23, 2021
Posted by: SpenceJT
Verified Purchase:Yes
Pros
- Easy to set up
- Bright image suitable for well-lit room with ALR screen
- Great contrast
- Excellent image quality
- Excellent 3D
Cons
- Terrible OS with a horrible selection of mediocre apps
- No ability to manually enable 3D mode for viewing of streaming 3D content (YouTube)
I chose to upgrade from my previous 75" Samsung 3D capable 4K television to this 3D capable Ultra Short Throw Laser Projector and a 100" Ambient Light Rejecting screen.
For me, this Ultra Short Throw Projector was the best option. More expensive than a ceiling mounted projector, but comparable in price and far easier to implement when taking into account the added time and expense of running electrical/network/video cables to a location in the ceiling. The self contained projector also has the benefit of a very quiet cooling fan, which when located further away (as opposed to over the viewing area) is inaudible.
If I was only able to have manual control over 3D so I could view 3D content available on YouTube I would rate it a full 5/5 ⭐

Unlimited local and long distance for under $40 per year?
If you have internet, and a household phone system, this module is so incredibly easy to set up.
It comes with all of the expected extras;
Three-way calling
Caller ID
Call Waiting
Voicemail
The best thing is you can install a mobile app on your mobile phone and receive calls to your home from anywhere that you have signal!

Take the excitement of surround lighting to the next level with the Philips Hue Play gradient lightstrip. This LED strip flawlessly blends multiple colors of light at the same time, mimicking the content on the entire screen for an immersive, full-room entertainment experience unlike any other. Hue Bridge and Hue Play HDMI Sync Box required, not included.
 

Planning to upgrade a 75 inch TV to either a 90 or 100 inch projection screen. Leaning toward the 90 inches as I know that the 75 inch lightstrip is rated to be used on 85 inch displays. Any success with photos?

Can you upload 2d and 3d videos from your computer onto the quest in a folder? Can you change viewing options and angles for playback?

Yes you can load videos for playback in virtual theaters. I am unsure about changing angles. I doubt it.

Hey I’m looking at buying a quest but is it worth getting 128 or 64. I’m looking to buy to play with my friend in Texas. So is it possible to play with someone across the country. Thanks for answering.

Memory is not expandable. That said, the apps are not huge, but if you intend to download movies, or (like me) horde a large library of installed apps, it would be advised to spring an extra $100 for double the storage.

Doubling the storage will also give a higher resale value, should a time come in the future where you would consider selling it and upgrading.

When your in a game, do one of the controllers move off into the distance by itself?

No. If you are experiencing this, your headset is losing tracking of your touch controller.

This can be due to ambient lighting overpowering the sensors of the head unit making it difficult for it to see and track the IR emitters from the controllers.

It could also be batteries in the controllers getting weak.

CAN A 6 YEAR OLD FIT IN THE HEAD GEAR ??

This depends on the size of your six year old.

The Oculus Quest is not recommended for children under the age of 13. Add to this, that most six year olds do not understand the concept of value, so any use should be closely supervised so as not to damage a $400+ device.

...also something to be considered is the developing mind of a child, and if it should be exposed to virtual reality experiences at such a young age.

Not judging. Just pointing out things to consider. The decision is yours.

I want to use Quest for my VR Fine Art Painting project. Do I need any additional hardware or software to paint, export and import my projects? Can I use Google Tilt Brush app in 64 GB Quest device? Can I directly upload my artwork to Google Drive/FB.com?

Check out Tilt Brush. It includes a variety of brushes, textures, and allows you to work in a 3 dimensional space, resizing, and moving the art around, zooming in to add detail, rotating it to add color and texture. It is very cool, and there are many videos on YouTube.
