Of all the Star Wars movies Empire Strikes Back was my favorite. But now I think Rogue One beats that by far. Empire was kinda dark with the rebels losing and so is Rogue One. And the very end is the best. I got chills seeing it as it reminded me of the excitement of my past (late 70's and early 80's.) seeing the movies. This is a a movie you have to own.

I play Overwatch on the PS4 and PC and I had a 27 60 Hz monitor for my PC setup. Lots of tearing. I tried V-Sync and it was worse with aiming. I'm an AMD Radeon fan and I decided to try this monitor because it was IPS and 75 Hz. The 75 Hz is great! now I no longer have issues with video tearing or aiming with V-Sync. Though I wish I could get this in a 27" or higher with a good price point, but that's ok. It does the job.
Though I wish it did include a Display Port too. But the HDMI does 75 Hz as long as you get a 4k HDMI cable ($12 dollars at BestBuy.)

It's a no-brainer. MST3000 is one of the funniest shows around. I like that it comes on Blu-Ray and DVD which is a bonus because I still have family that do not have a Blu-Ray player which is alright and I'm able to visit and watch the movies on their DVD instead.

I really like that I can watch these shows. I do wish they had a full set of DVD's out (they use to.)
MST3000 is one of the funniest shows, especially if your older 35+ as you can relate to alot of the jokes. But even new viewers will be amazed at the the show premise.
Do buy it and any other ones you can find and you'll be a happy camper.

I use my PS4 controller instead of an XBox because the PS4 fits my hands better, but using the Bluetooth is a pain to pair and using the cable at times doesn't make a solid connection and I get mistakes moving on the screen.
The USB Wireless Adapter fixes it all. It's responsive and it doesn't get in the way. I love it. Get one.

I use this to extend my mouse and keyboard so I can game on my TV. Sure I could use wireless, but because of the slight delay when using First Person Shooters where speed is key it's better to use a hardwired device(s.) 12 feet extension cable and the keyboard or mouses 3-4' feet work great.

I enjoy using the Elgato HD60 for capturing my games and such. It does record in 60 fps with no lag. I started using it for streaming my games on Twitch and Youtube and it's pretty easy. I'd recommend using an Nvidia GPU 750 and higher for streaming with the preselected overlays. I game on a A10-7860 and RX 470 4gb which does good, but the overlays are CPU intensive, so get an Nvidia to off load this. Again, a great product worth every penny.

I like this short Lightning plug and it takes a good deal of damage. I have 1 right now but I'm going to be buying 3 more for my other cars and home devices that use it. Though I wish it came in a 6 - 10 ft. cord for my iPad.

I have a lot of external equipment and most multi power strips are designed for regular plugs, not ac adapters.
This unit allows me to put at least 6 ac adapters plugs into this unit. It's great. tI was worth the investment so I bought another one.

Experience pinpoint accuracy in your gaming action with this Logitech G602 910-003820 wireless gaming mouse, which features 5 distinct dpi settings to accommodate your needs. Eleven programmable buttons give you customized control.
 

Will this mouse be faster for World of Warplanes if you connect from computer to screen?

If it's coming from a computer and the computer is connected to the screen, then yes.
I use mine that way to play Overwatch, Battlefield 1 and other Steam games and the mouse's receiver usb dongle is about 3-5 ft. from me. I don't notice any difference from a corded or wireless mouse using this Logitech G602. Other wireless mice don't work well with games like this one does.

Frigidaire - 550 Sq. Ft. Window Air Conditioner
Bask in a fresh breeze, instead of steaming in the heat with this Frigidaire FFRE1233S1 air conditioner, which features up to 12,000 BTUs of cooling power. Save energy by programming the air conditioner to turn on only when you need it using the 24-hour timer.
 

Can i install this Air Conditioners Through-the-Wall ?

Yes, though it says it's a window unit it still works; you won't have to use the side panel (window units) at all. I replaced a broken unit that was 20 years old. This Frigidaire your looking at is a little smaller about 2" inches shorter on width and 1" shorter on height then the broken unit, but I was able to put it in with a little piece of board for the height.

It runs great. Though it looks small it actually cools the air in no time with some of our temps in Texas getting at 92 degrees this month (May.)

Would i be able to plug in my xbox one hdmi and play on my apple macbook air?

No, the Apple Air's HDMI port is out only. You could use a USB capture device, but then you only get 480i/p input as well as lag.

What is sync for?

The word sync is an easy way of saying copying. I plug this plug into my iMac computer and attach my iPhone and Photos and iTunes starts up and will start syncing the phone's data for backing up and the Photos app will ask if I want to import photo's on my iPhone to the computer. Pretty simple process which I love.
