Blown away by this monitor!
on June 24, 2024
Posted by: WesternSky
I’ve used this monitor setup from Monduo extensively for several weeks now, and I highly recommend it.
I use my computer for most of the day for both work and hobby. My usual activities are editing videos and photos as well as being in the medical field for work. It is so comfortable to use and worked flawlessly for every activity I used it for. Before Monduo, I used a 2 monitor desktop setup.
Monduo was was easy to connect to my laptop and install. It fits nicely over my 15 inch laptop. The 3 displays look so elegant at my desk. So happy to be rid of my clunky desktop and monitor setup/stands and replace it with this sleek setup. My desk has never looked so nice!
The picture and color looks very nice on the screens - even better than on my laptop. The colors are crisp and vivid and displayed my edited videos and pictures very nicely.
I also love that the Monduo setup has the option of being portable if I need it to be. I do travel often and only take my laptop with one screen when doing so. My Monduo setup will allow me to bring my dual screens with me wherever I go.
After using Monduo, I’ve decided that I’m going to replace my usual desktop setup and use the Monduo setup for a few reasons.
It affords me an additional screen from my usual 2 monitor setup.
It is sleeker than my old setup.
It has the option of being portable for travel.
If you are looking for a sleek, multi-screen setup, this is a perfect product. I will be using Monduo for all my computer work.

Good replacement

Just completed a kitchen remodel and we decided to replace our aging stove. Purchasing a new stove usually requires a new electrical plug in order for the stoves warranty to be in force. Hence the purchase of this product. It fit perfectly and are expecting many, many years of trouble free use. The plug is well insulated and is made very well. We have no complaints so far and really don’t expect this product to fail. Recommend!

Fantastic mixer!
on May 14, 2021

Verified Purchase:Yes
I love this mixer! Price wise, it’s a lot cheaper than the “other” major brands on the market and it also comes with nicer and more standard attachments! The first thing that I made was a dough for a chocolate cake. The mixer handled the dough making process with ease with its 500 watt motor. No bog downs and smooth sailing. The mixers paint job is thick and the color is really nice and bright. The handle on the mixing bowl is definitely a plus and makes it super easy to hold the bowl when emptying its contents and during cleanup. In my opine, this is a great appliance and it seems very sturdy. So far so good.

Outstanding. Awesome. True professionalism. I purchased a new refrigerator that needed to have both door handles removed as well as the freezers door removed in order that the appliance be delivered into my home. The refrigerator doors [all three of them] were removed with such expertise and no scratches. Delivery was perfect and set up of our new refrigerator was amazing. No hiccups and I’m so very happy for the great service that we received. We are happy campers with the install and delivery.

The mini-sized, mega-capable DJI Mini 3 Pro is just as powerful as it is portable. Weighing less than 249 g and with upgraded safety features, it's not only regulation-friendly, it's also the safest in its series. With a 1/1.3-inch sensor and top-tier features, it redefines what it means to fly Mini.

Professional Quality Drone.
By WesternSky
This is my second drone as far as ownership is concerned. The mini 3 Pro by far is the best that I have ever owned. I'm always a little apprehensive when it comes to new drone ownership due to fear of wrecking one. After viewing videos which are available from the manufacturer, my fears waned quickly. Video instructions are fantastic, and I quickly learned the ins and outs of the drone's operation and its capabilities. There are three differing flight modes to choose from. C for cinematic mode, N for normal mode and S for sport mode. This drone is "light on its feet", highly maneuverable, fast, and super fun to fly. Set up was pretty quick and after an initial download of needed software and a battery charge, I was ready for the clear blue skies.
Like all of my drones, I did spend a fair amount of time reviewing the online manual for its usage. I would say that I'm on the more cautious side, so I wanted to be sure that I was able to handle this drone properly. The controls have a default setting (number 2) if you read the manual. Operation of the controls are easy, and the screen is brilliantly lit so it makes it easier to see it in direct sunlight.
What I love about this drone is its obstacle avoidance system. One very important note: Obstacle avoidance is "not" available in all flying modes, so I would highly suggest that you read up on and familiarize yourself with this topic. The drone is equipped with forward, backward, and downward dual-vision sensors which to help avoid obstacles. Better to be knowledgeable and avoid crashing your new drone, so read up please.
Flights were easy, smooth, and the general flight handling of the drone was uneventful. During my flights, I never experienced and communication failures. A few times during flight, I couldn’t see it anyone and yet it managed to stay connected. The battery is rated at about 34 minutes, and as a general rule that turned out to be quite accurate.
The drone weight comes in at 249 grams, which is under the weight requiring you to register the device with the FAA. The drone seems relatively well built; however, I would always suggest that most of your flights should be in a mode with obstacle avoidance enabled. The smoothest mode is the cinematic mode for obvious reasons.
Two of my favorite shooting modes are circle and rocket modes. The Mini 3 Pro has a f/1.7 aperture, takes 48 mega pixel photos, records videos in 4K/60 fps and can also slo-motion record. Video quality is awesome, colors were true to life and just breath-taking. I love the way the drone circles the subject matter while in the circle operation. You will have to experiment with your drone as to exactly what types of pictures or videos you wish to capture. Vertical video was fun to experiment with, as I never had a drone which was capable of this. I was unable to object track when in the vertical mode. I guess this is a limitation with its software/capabilities.
I was also very impressed with the image stabilization during video recording and picture taking. The playback quality of my videos was rock-steady, and pictures were always sharp and clear.
The drone comes with 1.2 GB of internal storage which is rather small. Therefore, I would suggest that the user install a Micro-SD card if you are interested in shooting videos, and for taking pictures. Video footage is amazing, and I can't wait to take this drone on vacation. My storage card is 128 GB and I have plenty of room for lots of videos and still pictures.
The Mini 3 Pro is amazing in all respects, and I have no real complaints. The drone is packed with so many quality features it's hard to mention them all. If you are looking for a world class drone look no further. This is an action-packed drone which has brought me nothing but great flying and photographic experiences. I'm looking forward to using this little baby a lot more in the future. One minor note: I would have liked to see an included carrying case as well as an extended battery as standard equipment.

“Let the GAMEs begin!”
By WesternSky
The Alienware AW2725QF is a 27-inch IPS LED gaming monitor. I wasn’t quite up to date with the terminology of “IPS LED” so I had to research it to become more familiar with the term. Quote “The most common types of monitors include OLED, LED, and IPS. OLED monitors are known for their exceptional color accuracy and contrast, while LED monitors are praised for their energy efficiency and durability. An IPS is an in-plane switching (IPS) monitor a type of LCD (liquid-crystal display) monitor. They are known for wide viewing angles and their superior color consistencies” end quote”.
As per the manufacturer, this monitor has a 4K UHD resolution, a rapid 180Hz refresh rate, and a swift 0.5ms response time. It supports FreeSync technology and features HDR capabilities, including Dolby Vision and HDR600. All of these statistics and hardware enhance gaming and multimedia experiences.
After a very simple put-together of the monitors stand (hand tightening a screw) and a plug in of an HDMI cable
and power cord, the monitor was ready for playtime. This IPS LED monitor display is just gorgeous. It has awesome color definitions coupled with amazing color clarity. I didn’t have to calibrate the monitors color as it was stunning right out of the box. No matter what viewing angle I tried, results were fantastic.
So far, I played two games and I was impressed! The monitors performance, color output and the lack of screen tearing was amazing. I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with the build and operational capabilities of this monitor.
This monitor is in my opinion, a good performing product. The specs aren’t top of the line, however its performance is noteworthy. For the average gamer and or consumer, you’ll be quite happy with its overall performance. It provided me with a really nice experience and generally has a decent response time. As per my gaming experience, this monitor holds its own. It’s a really nice product and it’s superbly manufactured. This monitor is on my recommended list.

Standby Mode
December 30, 2024
I would like to additionally give feedback on this monitor when it goes into “standby mode”. It seems that the monitor can’t be awakened from standby by moving my mouse and or key entry on my keyboard. The only way to awaken the monitor is to turn the power supply off and then it back on. I have been working with a Dell Program manager and so far everything we have tried fails to remedy this situation. Will keep you posted if problem is resolved.

The MagSafe Charger makes wireless charging a snap. The perfectly aligned magnets attach to your iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 13 or iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 12 or iPhone 12 Pro and provide faster wireless charging.
 

Any way to extend the MagSafe charger cable? I find 3 feet to be short.

Unfortunately the length of the cable is not extendable.

Will this bracket work for a 40'' Vizio Tv D series smart HDTV model #D40FGP Thank you.

TV,s all have a VESA number such as 400 by 200. You will have to check the manufacturers specifications of your particular TV. Then check the VESA number of the wall mount. They have to match. Sometimes the wall mount will fit several sized TV,s. I called Best Buy and spoke with customer service who checked and they let me know that the wall mount fit my TV. You can do the same
