After having several Android tablets (mostly Samsung) I decided to try this 2017 iPad. The main attractions for me were a great sale price a few weeks before the 2018 model was announced, and the long battery life compared to my Galaxy Tab S2 (10 hours vs 6 hours). Overall, the iPad is OK with 10+ hours of battery life, although the Galaxy S2 has somewhat better performance, a significantly better display and works flawlessly with Google Apps. IOS does a poor job of importing all my Gmail contacts and a new appointment in the iPad calendar never shows up in my Gmail calendar, although the reverse does work. I would only recommend the iPad to someone who is committed to the Apple IOS ecosystem.

This AOC monitor displays a crisp image with great contrast and wide vertical and horizontal viewing angles. It has an effective anti-reflective coating which doesn't seem to reduce the crispness of the image.

We have been using these cups for a few weeks and we like them. They keep coffee hot about twice as long as a regular coffee mug and are very light and easy to hold. There is a label on the bottom that says not for microwave, but we have had no problems using them in the microwave.

Bought this to replace my Peeble Time. So far I'm very satisfied with the Gear 3. It is easy to learn and use. It has very good visibility in bright or dim light, a very sharp OLED display with excellent contrast. It reliably receives all notifications and stays connected with no BlueTooth disconnects. So far I'm getting 4+ days of battery life per charge with moderate use (50-60 notifications per day) and GPS turned off. Recharges wirelessly in a little over 1 hour. BTW, my smartphone is a Samsung Galaxy Note 8.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7" is a good reliable tablet with consistent performance. The OLED display is very sharp with excellent contrast. The only negative I have about this tablet is that the battery life could be a bit better. I usually get about 7-8 hours of battery life per charge.

I watched this movie in a theater when it first came out and it is one of my top-rated movies. I recently purchased an LG OLED 3D TV and wanted to see Avatar in 3D. The movie has excellent 3D effects, but is never over the top.The 3D affect definitely enhances the viewing experience.

This console came with excellent step-by-step instructions and was easy to assemble. The instructions and diagrams were very clear and all the parts were clearly labeled. 2 allen wrenches were included. The only other tool required was a phillips screwdriver. All the holes aligned properly. Do not tighten the screws until told to do so in the instructions and assemby will go smoothly .
I mounted my 65" LG OLED TV to the swivel mount on the stand. All the parts needed (screws, spacers & brackets) were included with the stand. The stand is very sturdy with no twisting or wobbling, and is very attractive.
The Whalen website has more information available and several assembly videos. Note that on their website it is described as a 54" console that can accommodate a TV up to 65".

Purchased this tablet about a month ago and am very satisfied with its design, build quality and performance. It is very responsive and I have not observed any lag. Pen response is also excellent. Although not as high a resolution as some higher-end tablets, the full HD resolution produces very sharp images with very good contrast. Battery life between charges is an excellent 12 hours. I would definitely purchase this tablet again.

Excellent product but 1st one was defective

The 1st Back-UPS purchased in September was defective. It would work for 2-3 days then cutoff power and emit a high pitched tone until shut off. It had to be shutoff for several hours before it would work again. I contacted APC support via email and they responded in less than a day, giving me a procedure to "reboot" the product. 3 days later the same problem occurred . I again contacted APC support and they initiated a Return Authorization the same day. I received the replacement unit in about 3 days along with a prepaid mailer to return the defective unit.
The original product was manufactured in January of 2016 and the replacement unit was manufactured in March of 2016. The replacement unit has been working normally for about 10 days. There are a few other reviews here that had a very similar problem and APC support responded to some of them that some of the early units had issues.
So, although I recommend this product, I would check the manufactured date which is on a test datasheet taped to the back of the Back-UPS.to ascertain the manufacturing date.
I really like this UPS and recommend it with the above kept in mind.

Does anyone know how much this TV stand weighs in the box .

In the box it weighs about 90 pounds. I chose to have it shipped free rather than pick it up at the store.

You didn't give a proper answer to my previous question which what type of battery is used. Your answer was special rechargeable. That is very obvious. So how about an answer to the question. Is it Lead-Acid, NiCad, NiMH, Lithium Ion, etc.? Battery cost

I believe it is a lead acid battery. It is pretty heavy for it's size

What about the HUB?

Answers were mixed. Does this remote come with the Hub? If not, does it control devices thru walls?
The Harmony Touch does NOT come with the Hub. It is an IR remote, therefore all components must be in the line of sight. It cannot penetrate walls.
