I got this monitor while I was shopping at BB to pick up another monitor. This presented more sharpness and a better price than the one I intended to buy. The monitor is indeed sharp, but the setup menu is difficult to navigate, and the colors run a little cold (bluish tinge). This is adjustable, but it's not easy to find out how. Overall, a good monitor, but has its drawbacks. Also, has no VGA port or VESA mount.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This 6-outlet power strip was not as big as others, allowing me to use it in spaces ordinary power strips would not fit - like between a desk and the wall, between tv cabinet and the wall, etc. The one offset outlet, made for larger plugs is a bonus, although it doesn't seem to offer much more room than ordinarily spaced outlets. The switch seems to work efficiently and is a nice touch too.

I really like our Chromecast Audio - it lets you use SO many music apps right from the comfort of your phone. I have mine hooked up to our living room receiver, but may get another one for the kitchen and/or garage. Audio quality (over wifi) is very good, better than compressed bluetooth. I would recommend and buy again, even though I think the $35 price is just a tad salty.

This thing just works! Small, but functional, wider than any regular remote, but very unobtrusive. You get used to it quickly, and it is SO handy to have volume, channel, menu (and others if you program them) buttons right with your Fire remote, which we use all the time! Great investment!

I love my Dynex 12-outlet USB surge protector strip. After some rearranging, I was able to fill up every plug, plus plug my Amazon Fire Stick and Chromecast Audio into the USB ports - perfect! 14 outlets for the price of 12! Flat wall plug and sturdy cord does not get hot when pulling all those amps to run my equipment. I was going to get the 8-plug because it was so cheap, but I'm glad I sprung for this investment!

The Insignia toslink to mini-toslink cable is a quality cable with good performance and quality. I hear no sound loss, dropouts or the like, and it's a great accessory to have with the Chromecast Audio. Another reliable Insignia product. My only complaint is that it was a little pricy at $15 for a 6' cable. Otherwise, GREAT!

The Harmony Smart Control is a FULL featured remote, that controls all my equipment (Insignia flat screen, Yamaha receiver, Sony BluRay, Amazon Fire Stick, Roku, XM receiver). I tried the Harmony 650 first, but there were too many buttons and it was confusing switching back and forth between functions and activities on that little screen. The Smart Control's remote is small and sleek and perfect - we highly prefer it over the 650. It also has full functionality for all my stuff, although the android app is a steep learning curve (but lots of help online). Got on sale for $70, a great buy-very satisfied.

While a little outdated, the Harmony 650 is a GREAT remote. It was listed online as not working with my Amazon Fire Stick, but I eventually was able to make it work. Still, the remote was too confusing to use because of the number of buttons and having to switch back and forth between activities and devices on a very small screen. Still a great remote, and controlled everything I had (Insignia TV, Pace cable box, Yamaha receiver, XM roady, Roku), but I ended up returning it and getting the Harmony Smart Control - SO much better for my setup.

For almost the past two years, I have been using an LG V10, also purchased from BB. It's a great phone, but just too big! My wife had been using my old Galaxy S4, which caused me to miss Samsung's clean, functional and intuitive design. I am SO happy with this phone! It works as it should, and everything is where you think it should be. The size is just right - big, gorgeous screen, without being a mammoth phablet. It has some incredible features as well, some unique to Samsung. I wish the back was more "grippy", as it has slid out of my pocket unknown to me. The case that came free with the phone will hopefully take care of that. It also is annoying at times in landscape view - you have to be careful not to activate something on screen by touching the top/bottom edges. Both these problems can be easily overcome, however. I also considered the LG G6 when choosing a new phone. I haven't had a Galaxy since my S4, and I am very happy to be back!

How to play audio on the monitor headphone jack ??

The monitor has a simple audio-out jack. You can plug it into any amplifier or receiver that has an audio input. For sound, I have mine connected to a Sony mini-stereo setup - works beautifully. You could also connect it to a 5 speaker or 7 speaker surround setup via this jack.
