I see clearly in a multitude of bright colors!
What good are color changing smart bulbs?
They can set to welcome you home, colors set to commemorate holidays, flash a team color when they score, set for accent or to provide ambience, or tied to a system to communicate an alarm (smoke, intrusion, water, etc.)

Bass response is noticeably improved over the Samsung Galaxy Buds that I had been using.
My concerns over fit and comfort were quickly dispelled upon insertion. These bean shaped buds are light, comfortable, and stay put without much effort.
The deal I received on my purchase of a pair of REFURBISHED earbuds made this purchase a no brainer. They are for all intents and purposes in "new" condition with no scratches or blemishes to be seen. Battery life is as advertised and functionality of the device including call and music audio quality is unimpeded.

Life will never be the same!

The NVidia Shield TV Pro has made cutting the cord so much easier and less stressful!
Having been a long-time (over twenty year) subscriber to Dish Network cutting the cord was something that came up for consideration with each and every annual rate increase. We were often held back by the large amount of recorded content stored on the DVR's hard drive.
Well thanks to the pandemic and the shutdown of most all productions we managed to burn through all recorded content and began turning more and more toward online content.
It was at that point where we came to realize that we could drop Dish Network in favor of YouTube TV, keep local and 90 percent of our regularly viewed channels all while saving nearly fifty percent on our monthly bill!
The NVidia Shield TV has been an absolute pleasure, with the ability to install nearly any available streaming application.
YouTube TV
HBO Max
YouTube
iHeart Radio
Pandora
Amazon Prime Video
VUDU
...and so much more!
There are games, music, & weather apps all at the press of a button, and setup was a breeze.
The 4K UHD video combined with Crystal clear multichannel audio (including Dolby Atmos some on supported apps) is a massive improvement over and above Dish Network, and the small footprint of the NVidia Shield TV device takes up less space, uses less energy (due to it being 100% solid state i.e. no moving parts)!
The NVidia Shield TV supports Google's Chromecast for sharing content directly from a mobile device, it has Google assistant built in for quick and easy voice control, and has the ability to connect with my home's Google Home speaker system for whole-house audio!

This is the Chromecast that I have been waiting for! With it, I have transitioned my home off of Dish Network, and on to YouTube TV during my monthly television service costs by more than half!
I can consolidate not only my YouTube TV, but my other streaming services all in this one device!
I can cast directly from my phone, and the best thing of all, each television in the home now has a full HD stream to it!

A perfect fit for our candelabra sconce!

Posted by: SpenceJT
Verified Purchase:Yes
I picked this up specifically so that I could upgrade a small form factor bulb in a wall sconce at the top of my basement stairs.
I leverage the color RED in this bulb to signify to my family in my home (given that my wife and I are both working from home during COVID) that I am on a call.
After work hours, Blue indicates that I'm playing in VR.
It works great and looks amazing.

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?

Needing to mount this to the ceiling but needing to know if it is mountable and if it comes with a mount?

It contains no mounting hardware, but a creative/resourceful person could invert it and rig a way to hang it up from a ceiling. Keep in mind it's also got eight antennas coming out from it, so it's not exactly designed for ceiling mounted esthetics.

Will this router completely cover a 4000 square feet home without dead zones?

It could, however there are variables to consider such as the location where it will be connected.

4K is a sizable home, with many walls, and presumably floors for signals to go through.

Something to also keep in mind is that higher/faster frequencies do not travel as far as lower, slower frequencies so while it may cover that volume of space, it will likely not do it with consistent speeds.

I have a 3,800 sq ft home with the primary Asus ROG Rapture GT-BE98 Pro located in the basement mechanical room where cable distribution is located.

It reaches to the upper floor of our home, however the signal is weak with two floors between.

It was for this reason that I purchased a secondary Asus ROG Rapture GT-BE98 Pro, which is connected as an AI mesh node, to provide a solid signal to every corner of my home, on every level.

This router may not be the best for you. You may wish to look at Wi-Fi 7 capable mesh Wi-Fi which will certainly cover your space more efficiently.

Meta Quest Pro is a virtual reality system that unlocks new perspectives into how we work, create, and collaborate, so you can go beyond what was previously possible. A completely reimagined headset is slimmer and more well-balanced for long-lasting comfort. Breakthrough high resolution mixed reality passthrough uses full-color sensors to let you see and engage with the physical world around you~even as you connect, work and play in virtual spaces. Multiple room-sized displays let you skip between tasks to get more done, more easily. Connect better with friends or collaborate with peers like never before with real-time avatar expressions that mirror your authentic facial reactions. Intuitive, redesigned controllers dispense with tracking rings, using self-tracking cameras to capture a greater range of motion and fine motor controls to translate detailed finger operations like writing and drawing into VR. Advanced multi-point haptic feedback makes virtual interactions feel more real. Meta Quest is for ages 13+. Certain apps, games, and experiences may be higher.
 

Let's say I have money to burn, can this be used for individual VR gaming even though it's intended for business? Like, will it do all the same things that the Quest 2 does but more?

Absolutely it can, and exactly what I'm using mine for.

I'm playing all of my previous Quest games, and am working to set up my virtual office so I can look at future career possibilities
