a little late writeup
on December 26, 2021
Posted by: Controler
Verified Purchase:Yes
i got this for 2 reasons,, #1-- as backup for over a 2 decade old faithfull sony led 32" tv that been used solely as pc monitor .. and is now showing vertical lines but still very useable ..
#2-- and for the higher resolution .. but the very first thing that will shock you is ,, for any monitor this size ,, you need to sit within inches of the screen to read it when set at the highest resolution .. it is so cute and tiny though ,, laughable ..
as other reviewers have wrote negatively too ,,it is totally useless ,, for a resolution and sharpnees of qled 4k or whatever ,, would only be a value for biggie tv sizes of 50 or more ..
but for 6 months ,, i used to watch tv and picture looked nice ,, but that too , seemed a wasted technology that you donna really appreciate the higher resolution becasue it's only 32" ..
. but i dislike the most is the menu system you are forced to go thru to do a simple task such as setting timer shutoff .. it is just like calling customer service and you have to listen thru a menu system .. but oh oh i see, adding software is cheeper than putting all those buttons on a remote ..
finally donna buy this higher cost , ,qled or 4k for a small 32" ,, and save some money ,,get a 1024 resolution would be perfect for a 32 ..

it has been a few years and more years since i first seen caprica on tv .. so by having the dvd now ,, i can pause and see many many more details of scenes in the pilot that you just miss and will never see when watched in real time ,,,
and you can just replay scenes you may not understand what is going on .. and the final reason of having the dvd ,, you now follow a lot more of what is the dialogue , the playing out and acting leading into the whole story ..

i donna needa smartphone ,,
on December 10, 2021
Posted by: Controler
Verified Purchase:Yes
there are 2 reason i got this ,, one is AT%T tells me,, my cheep 3g flipper will not work any more feb 2022 which i been using for decades .. and that is all i want a phone for.. to call and receive calls only .. and ATT began interrupting my calls to make calls .. to tell to get a new phone ..
the other reason is , if i need to get a new phone ,, i then wanted a very decent camera ,, so i bought this .. with the expectation , i donna have to carry my big expensive eqpt camera for those occasions .. and meebe to use as option for a laptop .. well ,, it does do those things .. but not as well ... so my real feelings for a smart phone is really low ... and i donna like it .. but now live with it ..
so here is the list of donna likes ,,, it cost too much , it is only like a point and shoot camers ,, difficult to use compared to laptop ,, software functionality is a pain ,. wireless connection very limited range .. hate holding this phone ,, screen is so small ,, addition cost for phone data plan [which i wonna buy] ,, you need to convert phone pictures to see and use on computer ,, you canna change battery ?when it goes .. so afraid to drop and break this ,, . and i will stop now ,, so as not to continue to babble ...

finally a dc that handles 256gb card
on December 10, 2021
Posted by: Controler
Verified Purchase:Yes
this is my 4th dashcam .. and the reason i got this was for the 256gb sd capacity .. and 2nd for rear facing .. then 3rd is higher resolution ..
in the past 5 years ,my, DC have recorded 3 crashes for me ,,and many near wrecks ,, and all not my fault.. today there are lots more careless drivers and you need proof ,, as some will blame you .. so obvious when you find so many on ytube ..
here is a tip ,, if you read my review .. and see my photo . . i use a flat metal you can get anywhere at home stores ,, then remove a screw or bolt from your sun visor mount ,, to mount the metal plate ..
take the DC windshield mount and cut off the rubber ,, and drill a hole and put a bolt or screw thru it ,,, it is up to you to do what you like.. now attach the metal bar to your sunvisor mount,, just like a washer ,, which is a hard solid mount to the car roof ..
my current DC is attached to only one passenger sun visor bolt ,, but for my new mount ,i will use a longer metal plate to span both the driver and passenger sunvisor mount ,, and then mount the dashcam anywhere along the middle of the metal mount to get a rear view too ..
another reason for the rear view ,, is ,, there are always speeding drivers who will catch up to you on the highway and then tail gaite you for no reason .. instead of passing you ,, even if you are going over the speed limit with cruze control .. ha .. and i thnk this type rear view DC is better than a camera outside ..or on the rear window ,, that you catch a tail gater .. completely blocking your driver view to check traffic behind you ..

where is the new topgun
on December 7, 2021
Posted by: Controler
Verified Purchase:Yes
i was debating myself for a while to buy this ,, the 4k .. and because the new topgun still has not released ,, i been just waiting and waitin and waitin ,,, i broke down .. .
i agree with all the low ratings ,, this is not 4k or close .. i got topgun vcr when it came out ..also remember watching it with a projector sceen it was grainy too .. so it did not disappoint me watching the 4k ..
and from my very first viewing in the 80's ,, i thought back ,, girls donna fall for a guy just like that .. campy story ,but then again ,, i donna have the cruze good looks .. and of course all movies are like that .. , but .....
i wanna see the jets ,, the infamous F14 ,, love the looks , love the flying ,, love the chase .. and to see for myself the new 4k .. and since i seen this movie a lot aready ... my first 4k viewing was just the jets and on my sound system to enjoy ,,, and i just fastforwarded everything else .. so it will now sit in my collection for a later time .. when i have the need , the need for speed ..

i got this because my old 3qt just stop working ,, it's nice to have large size but it also takes up more counter space.. also prefer to have mechanical and not the electronic digital ..
there is only a rack on the bottom of a single basket ,, that seems to work .. but physically ,, i donna see how it provide better heat flow while cooking ,, like my old that had 2 separate baskets with space to have good heat circulation ..

smaller is not better some times
on December 5, 2021
Posted by: Controler
Verified Purchase:Yes
i got this with the expectation of it taking up less counter space and it does .. essentially half the size of a 4qt bella that i bought earlier this year .. and both works as expected ... but ...
if i put the same amount in each ,,, the larger will cook it more evenly because the basket will be half full ,, where the smaller bella basket will be full ,, thus putting the top food in the basket closer to the heating elements ... and will burn the top basket of food more easier ,, especially if you donna shake the basket half way cooking it ..
and shaking a full basket is a notta a gonna work ,,, you need to dump the whole basket out on a plate ,, shake it up and dump it back in the basket .. to finish cooking ..

a lot of disappoint-ment
on December 5, 2021
Posted by: Controler
Verified Purchase:Yes
i originally bought this to see ,, how good .. then for the sale price ,, and finally no subscription cost to use ..
i found this to be hard to use and play with ,, big learning curve ,, is not user friendly nor intuitive ,, and ,, which i probably could master if it was my paid job asa pro ,, as i have no fear to learn and can easily understand the nuiances of photo editing and camera settings for past 10 years now ..and my computer experience goes back to the dark ages of dos ..
so for the past 10 years ,, i been using free photo editing software that's very easy to use and learn and friendly and quick .. so compared to adobe elements ,, there is little in feature differences .. just to make this a short review .. if you wanted more capabilities ,, you need to buy big bucks full adobe software experience .. ha ,,,
for the limits of this adobe package ,, the cost and features means you pay to be tortured for simple photo editing and spend a lot of time to do .. if photo editing is a hobby for you . ..

Step up your photography with the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV body. It has a 30.4-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor and a 100-32,000 ISO range that lets you take large photos that are sharp and bright. The Canon EOS 5D Mark IV body is ideal for shooting action photos with speeds of up to seven frames per second.

Overly priced, not what i expected
By tess73 from North Dakota
Not for beginners confusing options in the menu it may be the same with the mark III? You really have to know what each thing does or what it doesn't do, it maybe easier for someone who has worked with pro level cameras before? color is not the same as most canons (lighter not as vibrant) and that is one thing I wish they didn't change cause I loved canon's color .It was said in a review you rarely miss shots with it , I found I miss just as many shots as I do with my 6D and my T6i and that is using a center focus point, I also used the auto focus and moved focus points and it missed shots. I think people would be better off with the mark iii until the price drops on the IV unless you feel you need the extra MP's and it would be worth it to you paying the higher price. It's not a terrible camera but not worth the high price tag in my opinion.

Works, but...
By Bree
I was searching for a remote control to do some self-shoots with my husband. Technically this works, but you must point the remote directly to the IR sensor of the camera, otherwise it will not be recognized. If you don't want to have the remote in all your pictures you will (depending on your camera) possibly need a firmware update or add-on to get a delay between pressing the button and the actual photo.
The biggest issue I had was finding out which cameras are working with the remote control. The internet isn't helpful at all and even the QR code on the package itself leads into nowhere. I can at least tell that it works with my (old old) Canon EOS 500d.
So, with some minus points still a working accessoire.

Connect up to 4 devices to the coaxial connection from your cable or indoor/outdoor VHF/UHF/FM antenna with this mini drop amplifier. It works with the DC power provided by components, or with the AC power provided by the included adapter.
 

I have 4 TV's wired for cable & trying to switch to antenna. Purchased RF-G1179 splitter. Installed antenna & plugged antenna cable into INPUT, & connected power. When I disconnect first TV cable wire & plug into output can't scan any channels no signal??

it looks like you are doing a first time ota tv antenna , either indoor or outdoor ,, you may need to point your antenna to transmitting tower .. and get a signal ,, if weak , then the amp will boost the signals .. if you have no signal the amp will do nothing ..

Aspherical lens elements ensure less distortion in the corners of the image without affecting the centers, and a continuous f/2.8 aperture means this lens is fast. Rapid autofocus ensures this full-frame Canon 16-35mm f/2.8 lens quickly locks onto your subject.
 

Would like to use this lens to photograph the Grand Canyon. I am an amateur photographer with an EOS Rebel SL1. Would I be able to use this lens with this camera & have it on auto focus? Thank you for your time.

if your question is real ,, my personal = no ,, for many reasons ...you would not understand based on your experience level ..

if you can spend $2k lens with $400 camera ,, i would recommend getting a bridge camera like a nikon p1000 or p500 series ..
and have way more of a camera setup for your experience level to use and save you at least $1000 ...

if you just a lens recommendation , i see bestbuy has the Sigma 8-16mm as a better match for you level and camera ,, to just answer your question which is for the wide angle view and auto ..and save you about $1300 .. .

Charge small appliances with this Insignia extension cord. Its 9-foot length lets you run the lightweight cable around the room for versatile placement, and the three grounded outlets provide extra charging points. This 16-gauge Insignia extension cord has a PVC coating for long-lasting use, and the easy-grip plug is quick to remove.
 

wall outlet is a two prong is there any extension cords that will fit in two prong but be able to plug a grounded cord from a tv lets say

you are better off just changing the old wall 2 prong outlet ,, home depot -lowes or hardware store sells 3 prongs ,, swap out your old and connect the ground ,, and you are not just better off but safer too
