Excellent small TV or computer monitor
on December 16, 2020
Posted by: Drago
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this to use it as a computer screen/monitor. The size makes reviewing spreadsheets and details easier than ever. I keep the monitor about 4-5 feet from my eyes, on the wall at the back of my desk. I can display 5 or 6 documents or spread sheets with ease on this thing. The color, graphics, operation, and control is excellent. I easily switch to cable TV and back to the computer screen. It is a smart TV, so I can easily jump into apps. I've had four apps streaming at the same time. I am beyond happy with this product and my adapted use for it.

Expensive ink that doesn't last in the printer
on December 16, 2020
Posted by: Drago
Verified Purchase:Yes
It is probably my printer (which is an EPSON), but the ink goes very fast. Of all the cartridges I've used, it is one of the most expensive. I've had to use the brand name ink with the printer, because substitutes or rebuilds or non-name products don't work as well and have not given me the best results. I think I'd check the type and cost of ink before purchasing my next printer.

This review is for the Samsung QLED 4K UHD Smart TV. It was extremely easy to put on the legs, set up, turn on, connect appropriate input lines, and be operational within 15 minutes. The picture is sharp and clear. I can run a computer using the screen as a monitor, and it works great. I switch in and out of programming very easily, going from NF to BritBox to Amazon to Cable to Roku to MLB and many other services very, very easily. Controls are great. Audio is very good, but could benefit from a sound bar with base and talking emphasis. Overall, I am very pleased with my choice.

I use this as a computer monitor connected via HMDI. I easily switch between the computer and my list of online streaming apps. The video is excellent. I use headphones for the sound, and they work quite well. Controls are excellent. Since it is a Roku TV, it uses the Roku controller, with which I am very familiar. No problems, no issues, easy to use, easy to set up.

Protection for every home and family. Capture the details in full 1080p HD video for a clearer picture, day or night. Spend less time recharging with 6 months of battery life*. Connects directly to Wi-Fi without the clutter of extra gear. The Arlo Essential is wire-free and weather-resistant to deliver fast, easy installation and flexibility to get the perfect camera view. With the integrated spotlight, see important features like faces and licenses plates in full color, at night with color night vision. Ward off unwanted guests by triggering the siren or integrated spotlight automictically or manually from the Arlo App. Receive smarter alerts for people, vehicles and packages and take quicker action like sound the siren, call a friend or dial emergency services with the included trial of Arlo Secure**. Works with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit*** and Samsung SmartThings.
 

I am planning to buy just one Arlo - Essential Spotlight Camera. 1. Do I need to buy any other equipment to be able to view the LIVE video feed on my smartphone? 2. Can my smartphone be the only device to view the LIVE feed from the camera?

Yes, I can view one camera live on just my cell phone. Without a base station, or SmartHub, you will not be able to record or save videos. Arlo also has subscription plans that will save videos, if you desire. However, if your intent is to just view live, then yes, you can view the live mode from just your cell phone (you need to install their app).

Can the camera, or is the camera, hardwired?

No, the Essential Spotlight cannot be hardwired. It is a wireless option. With heavy use, they require a recharge about once per month, or sometimes less. There are wired options with other cameras.

How many feet out with this camera record?

I've had 60 feet during the daylight with clear enough video to get license plate numbers. At night, I use IR and can make out shapes. I do not use spotlights because of my neighborhood, but I still get 50 feet of recorded area.

With plain IR night vision, I have recorded critters such as armadillos, skunks, raccoons, possums, and a dog at night time, with clear identity out to 40 feet.

Across my one area during daylight, I can record vehicles at about 150 feet.

Can you leave these plugged in.

I have plugged them in to recharge them in place. Two of my cameras used up battery in two to three weeks. Rather than popping them off the mount and taking them inside, I left them on the mount and charged them while in their mount. You'd need to be careful related to water and connections. My assumption is that there could be a short if the connectors get wet.

I had one camera plugged in to an electrical outlet outside. The connection place was protected from rain, water, the elements. It worked, and the camera detected motion and noise, plus recorded video. Again, I prefer the wireless approach and worry about an electrical connection with open, unprotected electrical connections.

Overall, I'd say use the wireless function, or get the wired versions.

Is there a tripod included for the camera to sit on, if it doesn't fit on your monitor? Or do you have to buy a tripod separately?

No tripod is included. The camera does have a screw-in mount on the bottom.
