Great addition for the RV...

Verified Purchase:Yes
We were looking for an inexpensive rice cooker for the RV, and when this one showed up as a deal of the day, it was a no-brainer. A bit smaller than a standard cooker, it's perfect for 2 people.
The kicker is - it cooks rice and rice dishes just fine!

Cheap way to support dual HDMI displays...
on September 9, 2022
Posted by: Tomm
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you're running an Intel processor with on-board graphics, this allows you use HDMI out without using a graphics card. It wouldn't be a good solution for action gaming, but otherwise it's good for HD graphics up to 60 HZ. One of the ports supports 4K - but your processor will need to support 4k to display it.
When you first plug it in, it will need to grab its drivers and get the installed. This happens in the background, so give it a couple of minutes to set up.

UHD might be too high a resolution for ID4...
on July 6, 2022
Posted by: Tomm
Verified Purchase:Yes
Clearly a July 4th classic, but the 4K transfer shows the early state of affairs with CGI. The green-screen shots show a hard outline of live versus the background material. The models used in the explosions don't have enough material to hide how the explosions take place. It provides an even more cheesy quality to the movie, which might be more fun, but is visually less satisfying.
The Bonus disc provides every kind of background for the making of the movie, and both the theatrical and extended releases are included.
Ultimately, the Blu-ray HD version might be the more visually appealing as much of the detail revealed in UHD is still hidden.

The 4K copy is crisp with good sound - worth it IMO when on sale.

The trilogy is well known... The 4K scan was well-done and does them justice. Because of the film durations, you must swap disks at mid-movie.

Are these for big rigs too?
You can have multiple profiles that have distinct needs - for example height, width and/or weight. We have a 30' tow behind - if I use that profile, it'll keep me off tight twisty roads, not route through low bridges, or warn me if I venture onto roads that have weight restrictions. If you're a commercial driver, the database for services might be a bit irrelevant, as its focus is for RVs. Garmin might have a commercial version of this GPS, but it's probably more expensive.

What type of mount to the dashboard or what ever? And is the mounting part included. I do not see anything. And what is the way to plug in?
If you don't want to use the suction mount, a baseplate is provided. The baseplate is around 3 inches in diameter, and comes with three self-tapping screws to hold it secure. The bottom of the baseplate has a foam pad to help it conform to a curved surface. Once in place, the ball assemblywhich holds the GPS is transferred over to the baseplate from the suction mount.

I know this was asked several months ago, but in case anyone is still wondering, I grind for espresso, using the 10 cup setting. That gives me 3 to 4 double-shot baskets worth. Since I normally have 2, 2-shot grandees each morning, I typically grind every other morning. It's nice to keep the grinds fairly fresh.
