A Flawless Blu-Ray Release!
on August 4, 2023
Posted by: Faber
The movies themselves are great, though you probably already know that.
More importantly, the video quality is also great, as is the audio quality.

So Good, So Far!

As far as I can tell, it works well. My PC didn't show any errors in either the BIOS or the operating system (Debian Linux). I should mention that my system already had 16GB and I bought this to upgrade to 32GB, partially because the recommended specs for a new game included 16GB of RAM and I thought it might be able to exceed that, so I figured I should upgrade. I haven't really exceeded 16GB yet, but I'm sure I'll be glad to have the extra RAM down the road.

Good Cable
on July 21, 2023
Posted by: Faber
Verified Purchase:Yes
What can I say about a SATA cable? It's a good length and it works perfectly. The right-angle connector is a nice touch. The price is also good. Sure, it's not super cheap, but at least I know I'll get a good cable. Plus, it's nice buying from Best Buy because they actually have physical stores, which makes exchanges easier.

Pretty Good!
on July 21, 2023
Posted by: Faber
Verified Purchase:Yes
The audio quality is good. I wish the video quality was better, especially in the first season, but it gets much better in each season. Regardless, it's great to truly own a copy of this show instead of relying on streaming services that might drop it any day or digital stores which may lose the rights.
I know most folks would talk about the show in a review, but I think it makes a lot more sense to review the product than the show, since it is a product review.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've had it for some time, and I haven't had any issues.
Funny story - I actually bought this one because I was having a file corruption problem with my other one. I sent my first one to Western Digital to have it serviced, and it took so long that I did some research and found out that they sometimes can take up to a month. So, I decided to buy a new drive. Ironically, it turned out that the first drive was fine, the noises I heard are normal for the WD Red drives, and the file corruption was caused by a software bug.

Perfect!

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a well-made cable. I use it for connecting my Sennheiser HD 469's to my Sound Blaster AE-5 sound card so I can bypass the poorly-shielded 3.5mm jack on the front of my PC case. This cable consistently delivers high-quality sound from my sound card. The 6' length also came in handy for this particular application.
For reference, pretty much all PC cases have poorly-shielded 3.5mm jacks, which is why some high-end sound cards don't include a connection for the front panel 3.5mm jack.

Great 1080p Projector, Especially for the Money
on July 21, 2023
Posted by: Faber
Verified Purchase:Yes
Sure, it's just 1080p, but it's a spectacular 1080p. Granted, I'm coming from a crappy no-name 480p projector from ten years ago, but this projector is a gigantic improvement from what I had. Image clarity, focusing, etc, are all very good.
Regarding brightness, you might want to put it into eco mode if you're using it in a dark room. That might sound bad, but you'll be glad of it if you're using it in a room that's either well-lit or has a lot of light bleeding through the curtains.
My only complaints are that the USB port can't be used for a USB DAC and the built-in DAC isn't great. But otherwise, this is a very good projector. Though, for a long time, a lot of projectors didn't have audio output at all, so maybe I'm just nitpicking a bit too much.

Did you try the My Nevo app? Or are you referring to the lack of a micro USB port? If it’s the latter, open the battery compartment and look for a six-pin connector. If it’s there, you actually can program via a PC with a JP1 to USB cable.

I have spent much $$$ on Soundblasters only to have none of them work! Come to find out that they no longer work on Win 10/11 and there is no fix. I still have the AE-5 plugged but I'm using the onboard sound. I have used creative sound cards for 20 years for music production. Don't know what their problem is now!

Would this work with my Sennheiser 569 headphones? They only came with 2 cables. One has a big 1/4" (6.35mm) connector and the other has a 3.5mm connector. However, the 3.5mm cable has a mic and a remote, so it doesn't work with the extension I have.

I am running a 1050ti which has 1 HDMI, 1 Display Port, 1 VGA. I recently purchased a Freesync which only had an HDMI input. My monitor claims it can support Freesync. I do not see the option when using HDMI to HDMI. Will this make Freesync work?

What's a good speaker wire to run with these speakers?
Pretty much any brand should be fine. Just stay away from Rocketfish - that stuff is brittle! It's very difficult to strip the Rocketfish wire without losing a lot of strands. Even if you successfully pull it off, it falls apart when you wrap it around the speaker terminal. I don't know, maybe they expect you to use banana clips.

When will this product be back in stock?
It's back in stock. It's actually kind of funny because I have a 5600X, but I was kind of wishing that I'd gone with the 5900X because my 5600X took longer than I expected to compress a 4K file. Yet, the 5900X and 5950X are sold out, while I believe the reverse was true on Launch Day with the 5600X being very difficult to buy due to its very understandable popularity; if I had gone with the 5900X, I probably would have been able to buy it much earlier in the day.
