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.
Go to IMDB for a critique of the movie - I think it is "Classic" status...

Legendary...

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.

It's got Sly and Arnold - if that floats your boat. Check out IMDB to see if it might... You probably don't need this one in 4K - Blu-Ray would be sufficient...

Get optimal gaming performance with this NZXT Kraken cooling fan. The fluid dynamic bearing delivers quiet operation, while the LED ring and rotatable top let you create remarkable visual effects. This NZXT Kraken cooling fan has fine nylon mesh sleeves that protect the tubing for impressive durability, and the CAM integration lets you manage performance with simple button clicks.
Will it work with the intel core i5-10600k
The UHD 4K monitor that does it all. At 32" and 16:9 screen ratio, LG's UHD monitor features great color, contrast, clarity, detail and responsiveness. It shines as a productivity powerhouse, delivering a flexible workstation experience and easy setup, yet amplifies gaming with cutting-edge features and elevates entertainment with HDR10 and AMD FreeSync.
Would this monitor be good to use for editing photos with Photoshop and Lightroom?
One of the reasons I purchased this monitor was to curate and manage photos. It's advertised to be to provide 95% color accuracy, and it is much better than previous monitors I've used. But those were FHD monitors and this is UHD. I haven't compared it against any of the monitors that advertise higher accuracy, but all of those were at least $100 more, which was another consideration for me. It's good enough for me, but I'm sure there are better.
