Minimize movement and maximize comfort with ERGO M575~a wireless trackball with sculpted ergonomic shape. With no need to move your arm around to move the cursor, your hand and arm stay relaxed. Remarkably smooth and responsive cursor control works perfectly on any surface. Connect simply via Bluetooth Low Energy or the included USB receiver with a 33 ft (10 m) range.

Upgrade your mouse

Verified Purchase:Yes
If you like the feel and functionality of a mouse but without having the need to move it on your desktop this is the mouse for you! The track ball is very handy it takes a little bit of used to getting used to but after you do it’s far easier than the conventional mouse. The track ball does away with moving the mouse, no need for a mouse pad. Highly recommended!

4K UHD Video and Awsome Audio
on March 1, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
Final season of Game of Thrones. I waited to purchase until the 4K UHD version became available. Only Season 1 is also available in 4K UHD there is a slight improvement over the Blue Ray format. Unless your really looking for it it's hard to tell the difference.

Great concert
on November 16, 2019
Posted by: PDBrown
Verified Purchase:Yes
The blue ray video is close to 4K UHD and is the best U2 video I have seen. If your system will support DTS HD Master audio you will not be disappointed. The concert was filmed a couple weeks after the Paris terrorist attack in 2015. The original concert was postponed due to the attack so the concert was in the shadow of the attack. U2 played with plenty of energy and as usual great musicianship.

Excellent Concert Video
on October 28, 2019
Posted by: PDBrown
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is an upgrade of this same concert from standard DVD to Blue Ray. I watched it on my new system on the 10th anniversary date of the concert filmed 10/25/2009. The Blue Ray Video is better than the DVD video but not as much of an improvement as you might expect. It is better but it is not 4K UHD video quality. The audio is better especially using the DTS HD Master audio. If your system supports DTS HD Master audio take full advantage of this near lossless audio format. The Blue Ray was worth the cost to upgrade from old DVD format. The concert was great good enough to buy it twice. If you are a U2 fan and like live music video's I would highly recommend this concert.

Strong and dicrete great support for center chanel
on September 27, 2019
Posted by: PDBrown
Verified Purchase:Yes
This AV Adjustable Component shelf is strong and disappears underneath and behind Center Chanel Speaker. It is preferable to be attached to wall studs at 16" Centers. In my case that would not center the unit in the middle of the TV. So I had it cut into 2 pieces and mounted it an wall studs 32" apart. Not the recommended method of mounting, but works perfect for my 35 lb. 32" wide center channel speaker. It extends far enough away from the wall that the rear of the center channel speaker is even with the front of the TV. Perfect! Great solution for my needs.

Great Value

Verified Purchase:Yes
The LG 65 inch LED is a good value for the money. Picture is very good but not as good as an OLED or QLED. Slight vignette at the corners and edge of the picture. During live sporting events I notice some very slight motion hang-ups, it could benefit from a faster frame refresh rate. It is not as smooth as my old Samsung Plasma "stupid TV." The sound is very good for a TV without any supporting sound-bar or audio equipment.

With the included wall mount, what is the maximum horizontal distance off the center of the wall mount that the TV can be mounted? The reason I ask is that where I want the center of the TV to be positioned is not directly between two wall studs.

The Mount and the center of the TV are aligned. When first mounting the TV, the mount allows the TV to be pulled a distance from the wall enabling HDMI and power cords to be plugged in. The power cord is non detachable. After that the TV is pushed straight back again the wall. there is no ability to shift the TV left to right. I would not mount it without hitting a stud.

Can you mount center surround speaker to the bottom?

No, I don't see that is possible. After the TV is mounted flush to the wall the screen only 2 inches or so from the wall and there is nothing to attach a speaker to the TV.

Does the G5 83 inch TV come with a detachable power cord? So that an upgraded power cord could be used in its place.

The power cord is very large gauge wire I am sur =mor than adequate for the TV's power requirements. It is not detachable.

When mounted, how far does the tv extend from the wall

The TV mounts flat against the wall, it is only an inch or so from the wall. It comes with its own mount. Don't let anyone sell you a mount. It is not needed.

The Dell XPS 17 laptop delivers powerful performance in an incredibly thin form factor. The stunning 4-sided InfinityEdge UHD+ display enables an amazing screen to body ratio (93.7%) and a 17-inch screen in a 15-inch size form factor. In fact, it~s smaller than 48% of 15-inch laptops*. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 graphics feature unique dual opposite outlet fans, that increase fan airflow by approximately 30% and drive cooling airflow in both directions, resulting in more airflow overall and improved skin temperatures*. A 100% Adobe RGB display enables you to edit your videos with confidence in their color. 100% of the enclosure is sculpted by a CNC (computer numerical control) machining process. A high precision, machine-milled aluminum chassis creates an elegant design with high build quality that~s stronger and stiffer than magnesium or plastic. A premium 17" touch laptop with a thin and light design.
 

Does the 17" screen model not have numeric keypad?

It does not have a numeric keyboard. Dell spent the available real estate on speakers. I would’ve preferred numeric keyboard and a traditional left and right click mouse which it does not have.

Where I want to mount this shelf, the studs are 12" apart. Will this shelf only mount to 16" spaced studs or are there multiple holes for the mounting?

It is designed to be mounted on any wall. If your mounting on drywall with 16" centers it designed for that, but there are mounting holes on each side of the mounting bracket towards the center of the unit that will allow to mount on studs closed than 16". I could not swear with 100% it will work with 12" centers stud to stud but I'm reasonably confident the mounting holes are close enough to work for 12" center to center studs.
