Bought two of these for my wife and her art department at a Christian school. Tested both monitors and compared them to my UHD IPS monitor which I use for pictures. The colors are beautiful and the photographers in here class will have a great time with this monitor. Response time is not really an issue when editing pictures, so no problem there.
Very happy with the purchase and, needless to say, so is my wife.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We had an much less expensive pump espresso machine for about 4 years. It made a good espresso but we felt we could get a machine which frothed milk much better. After reviewing many machines on the market, and limiting the amount which we wanted to spend to less than $300, we decided on this machine.
Pros: This makes a very nice shot of espresso. The pressurized portafilter makes it easy with minimal effort with the grind and tamping pressure. The unpressurized portafilter provides the ability to work on the grind and pressure to get a good shot. This WILL take practice if you have not had experience with it before. This machine does a wonderful job frothing milk
Cons: I do not like the fact that the socket the portafilter twists into is plastice. I am concerned that it will break sooner that I would like.

For the unpressurized portafilter, be prepared to clean up lots of coffee. There is a reason that real Baristas are trained and still need to practice. Getting the correct grind and tamping pressure is required to get a clean shot with not spray from the unpressurized portafilter. I have been working at it for a little while have am able to pull a good 25 second shot with no spray about 1 in 4 times with this portafilter. I definitely recomment an aftermarket tamper (49mm). A good coffee grinder is necessary (burr grinder). But they can be expensive to get a really good grinder.
Overall, I really like this espresso maker. I make my wife and I a cappucino every morning and my wife has been saying they are much better than the popular coffee franchises in the US make. I agree with her although my opinion is probably prejudiced.
If you get this machine, get a good grinder and a metal tamper. The practice and research how to make a good shot of espress and how to properly froth milk. You will be very happy with the results.

Philips - Hue Motion Sensor
Trigger your smart lights with movement. The battery-powered Hue motion sensor can be easily installed anywhere in your home.
How long will the light stay on for after you walk into the area? Do you need to be directly in front of it to activate?
It can be set up in different manners. I have mine to turn on and go off after 5 minutes of no motion. I have mine near the ceiling in a 90 degree corner (top of stairs and down hall. it picks up motion at the bottom of the stairs and end of the hall. I had to set it to medium to avoid it catching motion of someone walking by the end of the stairs.

Do these still work with basic switches as well? Like for example can i install them in a bathroom and control them from the phone but also guest control them with the light switch.
Probably not the way you think. For the Philps Hue bulbs (and other smart bulbs) to work, the power must be left on and the Hue App or this remote is used to turn the light on/off and dim or bright. Why do you not leave the dimmer in the bathroom. That is my intention with this so that guests have a physical switch and they do not need the Hue App and access to my system.
