This keyboard is certainly designed with the Smart TV at heart. The keyboard is small and compact, to be able easily put away in your living room, but is very heavy - heavy in a good way, it is not going to slide around your lap or end table while trying to use it, or snap the first time it slides off the couch. The keys are comfortable to the touch and have the right push back for a good responsive feel.
The side track pad for moving a mouse cursor is a nice feature. I was not sure how it would work with my Smart TV as it did not have a mouse cursor before, but it essentially made my TV mouse capable. I can use the trackpad to move a pointer and click on an app on the screen launching the app I selected.
It was super easy to setup - just unboxed it, went to my smart tv to pair a bluetooth device, entered the code and good to go. It was really nice being able to interact with the apps that needed key entry, like searching for a movie, or logging into an app with a long password, and not having to navigate with the traditional remote. After entering in the code for my tv that you can get right from logitech’s website, the nicely placed navigational keys along the side of the keyboard worked, allowing me to have full control over the TV, and its applications - including the home and search buttons.
This keyboard really unlocks a level of function on your smart TV - that just was not really feasible before. The convenience of being able to quickly type in movie names, passwords, and the like is great, but now being able to use things like a browser has added great value.

If you are interested in a BT keyboard for your smart tv, this is second to none -- but do be sure to make sure that your model will work. I did not try to pair it with a non supported TV, but based upon how it interacts with mine, things like the track pad, and side keys are likely to have mixed to no results. You can check right on Logitech’s website, or of course ask your local Best Buy service team to verify!

The Dell S2419NX is a great monitor for its tax bracket. It can often be hard to compare review monitors, first because the price points can vary so wildly, and second because unless they are side by side for a real comparison, quality can be hard to judge. First on quality, it is top notch, the small bezel around the outside of the screen gives is a large feel, and also saves on real estate. Many monitors of this size have a large plastic frame, but this one is tiny and it really helps the monitor stand out, and take up less space. It has a high gloss finish on the monitor, which is awesome, but can be problematic. It really makes the monitor bright, and look great, but if you have the screen on something very dark, and say a keyboard that lights up, you will get a bit of a reflection. I like having the small audio out on the monitor that you can plug speakers into - its perfect for the small speakers I have in my home office, and saves cabling mess. I have a 3 monitor setup, so this monitor is sitting alongside two other monitors of the same size , and same class, and this one is by far the crispest picture. It has great color depth, and I really find the natural brightness makes it great for reading documents or articles. As for everything else it is exactly what you would expect.
Pros -
Great Color Depth
Small frame/Bezel
Screen Brightness is second to none
Great Color Depth
Small frame/Bezel
Screen Brightness is second to none
Con
The brightness causes occasional glare/reflection
It is not height adjustable - most monitors of this size are not anyway but, it is a feature I appreciate.

I have had a single cup coffee maker that I loved for several years, but I can say that after having the Ninja Hot & Cold Brewed system, I would never go back. It has so many options, both simple and more complex, that I didn’t realize what I was missing.
Let me start off with the variety of sizes available - it has several size options including cup, XL cup, travel mug, half carafe and full carafe. This is great because if you are like me, you owned both a K-cup and a traditional coffee maker for when I wanted to make more than 1 cup at a time. In addition, I don’t have to worry about my larger cups not being full or having to “double” brew to fill my cup - I just pick the correct size.
Along with the size options, there are a number of brew methods: Classic, Rich, Over Ice, Cold Brew and Specialty. This is great for me and my husband, as I enjoy a nice hot coffee and he prefers Iced Coffee. In addition, I have tried all the brew methods for the coffee and I can say without a doubt, coming from a coffee snob, this system makes good coffee. I wasn’t expecting a lot from the Cold Brew option (just more of a cold coffee), but I can say that it was a true Cold Brew coffee and tasted like something you would pay over $5 from a fancy barista.
Now onto the tea brewing features - all the same size and brew methods that were available with the coffee options follow the tea brewing option. In addition, you also have the ability to choose the type of tea that you are brewing - Herbal, Black, Oolong, White and Green. This is a nice feature to have, especially since teas are brewed at different temperatures. The system also gives you the ability to brew using tea bags and loose leaf tea. I brewed from both a tea bag and a herbal loose leaf tea and I can saw that I was impressed with the brew.
Another neat feature is the frothing whisk - it is so simple to use, folds away nicely on the side of the system and easy to remove for cleaning. It’s a really nice touch to be able to make cappuccinos and lattes at home.
The system also comes with a stainless steel carafe and a Smart Scoop, that snaps on the side of the system with ease. The carafe is heavy duty and keep coffee hot/cold for several hours. The smart scoop is nice because there is no more looking for a measuring spoon to add the correct amount of coffee or tea, depending on the size that you are brewing.

Great gaming mouse
This mouse takes personal taste to a new level in it’s design. The mouse has a good ergonomic feel like you would want in a gaming mouse, and the buttons are well placed. Each button can have its own macro or action assigned to it - while keeping each button distinct enough that you won’t find yourself accidentally hitting the wrong button.To often gaming mice have a steep curve of getting used to due to button placement, but logitech nailed it here. The profiles and button actions are saved right to the mouse, and are easy to program and swap between
It is very comfortable in your hand, and incredibly responsive. The 16k DPI is noticeable in the accuracy of the mouse, and I found myself having no issue with any sort of delay.
What really makes this mouse unique is the customized weight - the mouse comes with a small case that contains several weights inside of it. The bottom of the mouse detaches , and you can place each weight in the bottom of the mouse. If you have not before experienced being able to adjust the weight of the mouse to your personal play style, you are in for a treat. The difference between all, some, or no weights, completely changes the feel of the mouse. I have used this feature on other mice in the past, but found anything but all the weights to feel to light. The design by Logitech though is far better, and I felt good with several weight variations.
If you are in the market for a new gaming mouse, you should really check this out.

This is the quintessential small/home office scanner. I work from a home office on a regular basis, so having devices like this that are small, compact, but high quality is very important. Especially if the device can be used for personal reasons as well, and the Brother ADS-1700W fits that bill perfectly.
Setup -- Basic setup was very simple, you will want to install the Brother Scanning software, the link to which is in the quick setup guide. If you are going to use local usb for connectivity, you just plug it in, follow the onscreen steps, and you are good to go. Where this device really stood out for me was just how functional it was beyond that. I was able to setup my wifi info and put it on my home network in a matter of a few minutes. Using the Brother Software, or by going directly to the devices web page,
Customization - The Brother 1700W is able to scan to a directly attached usb device or pc, which is great of course, but it can also scan to a file share, FTP location, or e-mail you the file. For the slightly more tech savvy - I was able to connect my personal email account to it, select scan to email from the main screen, pick my address I entered from the address book I had created, and within a minute my 600 DPI resolution scan was in my inbox ( watch your spam folder too just in case! ) I added my work email, personal email , as well as a few family members - making this incredibly convenient for home personal, and home office use!
Quality - there are several settings for picture size, or an auto detect feature, and it can scan up to 600 DPI - ( the file size generated was around 6MB) I was able to scan a double sided 10 page document in about 30 seconds, with perfect quality. On the home side of things, I found an old picture sitting in a box, and you can clearly see the quality of the scan and the vibrant color it was able to capture.
In short this is a compact heavy duty device, that is easy to use and setup, can handle both high quality and reasonable size scan jobs, and has a multitude of ways to interface to it based upon your personal preferences. I am very pleased with the quality and functionality of the Brother ADS-1700W and look forward to using it more!

I also included a screen shot of the web admin page where you can configure customized settings for address books, file quality defaults, file naming conventions, and so forth. This can all also be done from the software or the screen on the device, I just found the web page to be the most convenient.

I have owned several blue tooth speakers for various purposes over the years, and this is by far one of the better ones that I have seen
PROS
- Durable- I was surprised by how heavy it was when I took it out of the box. Not in a bad way, in a , hey this thing isn't going to get broken the first time I take it camping. Along with its rugged build, it produces a very impressive sound.

-Sound- I hooked it up first to my phone and streamed music. It easily filled up the room and had both good mid level and the bass is surprisingly impressive. I used it outdoors at a barbecue with friends and family, and it produced a great sound even in that setting. --
Later I hooked it up to my LG Portable projector and put a movie on the side of my house for the kids, and used this speaker for the audio. Wow did it sound great. We had spread out of a fairly large area, and with the speaker up by the house it produced a crisp quality sound that we all enjoyed while watching the flick. The fact that it sounded good with music is one thing, but I have never had a bluetooth portable speaker sound this good with a movie before.

Cons I do not have any real cons, just a few nags that keep it from being 5 stars - none of which are related to the quality of the product from a sound perspective -
- NO IPHONE app.....granted I am not sure how much I would have used the app anyway, but bummer
- No wall charger, it comes with the cable, and that is nice, but I am not going to be charging this off of my PC, fortunately like most, I have wall chargers to spare, but it still would have been nice if it had come with one.

I love this keyboard, simply put.
First the keys are nicely defined and distinct, their is the perfect amount of pressure needed to press a key, and distance between the keys that it just feels great to use. Gaming aside, just general usage for things like e-mail, it just feels right.

Second, it just plain looks cool. The lighting effects on this keyboard are gorgeous
Third - WOW can you customize this keyboard for what you are doing. You will need to download the app from FNATIC, but the app is really easy to use. The keyboard has 4 profiles - configuring
1) Colors and style, want the lights to be solid? Fade Up? Left to right - Specific color(s)? whatever you want you can do for each profile.
2) Keybinding - you can set the function button and a key press, or the just a key press to launch a macro, remap to another key,. launch an application, or open a file. This gives you a TON of flexibility to have the keyboard operate as you want it to within each various profile, perhaps different games, applications, or just daily usage, you can set this keyboard up to do whatever you want it to, 4 different times.
3)Competition mode - This mode is unique to each profile as well, so you can have up to 4, but this allows you to actually disable keys as well, and even set specific colors ( or off ) to keys , making it perfect for games that don't require the whole keyboard

It also has a full USB port on the back of the keyboard, I personally chose to use it for the FNATIC mouse, but it is a fully powered USB port and can be used for anything.
The attached pictures are to show you the keyboard lit up, along with the USB port, the second is competition mode where several keys are disabled and not back lit.
This keyboard is really nice, and along with the FNATIC mouse, a perfect choice for casual to hardcore gamers alike.

This is a great mouse for both gaming and daily use.
1) Comfort - the mouse fits nicely in your hand and feels natural. It has a smooth finish, and has proper weighting as to not feel cheap, but also not overly heavy for prolonged usage periods
2) Setup - You will want to download the software from Fnatic to configure the color(s) of the mouse, which are vivid and just look cool - but more important it has 3 different profiles which you can preset to different sensitivities. A simple button click below the mouse wheel will scroll through these profiles, along with 3 lights on the left side of the mouse, indicating which profile you are on. The application is easy to use and set each profile to the right feel for its use
.
3) Function - the 3 profiles make this mouse shine - you can set the dpi to race around the screen or take serious effort to move the mouse even small amounts, leaving you a very granular set of controls to work with based upon your needed function. I found myself with 3 distinct presets, one for basic web page usage, one for when I was playing a game that required precision, and then one further for when I was working on editing pictures where you need to move oh so carefully.

I love this mouse, and would strongly encourage anyone who needs a high quality mouse and keyboard set for both gaming and general usage to seriously consider this, and a FNATIC keyboard as well!

The headset itself is well made and very comfortable to wear. I did several 6+ hour sessions of game play and never did the headset get uncomfortable. It is very light weight despite its durable construction. Setup was a breeze - First I used it with My PS4 - I simply plugged the dongle into the USB port, and the headset started working. It is in chat only mode by default so if you want to have full audio you will need to make sure you modify that setting. You also can adjust the volume of the chat vs in game audio to a balance that works for you. After my long PS4 play session, I was very happy with the headset, but then I decided to use it with my PC. I registered the code with Microsoft to enable the Atmos feature, and wow. It was better than having surround sound audio, all in one head set. The sense of spatial awareness is incredible. I have never experienced a game with immersive audio that this can provide. It is incredible and I could not be more positive on recommending this headset. Even though my wife does not play games much, I had her try it just to experience the quality, and she was blown away. She actually played Overwatch for awhile, something she normally would never do, just because the audio experience made it fun. She did though insist I put in my review that it did make her ears hurt a bit if she left in her stud earrings. That aside, this headset is truly amazing.

LG has developed a fantastic portable projector here.
The initial setup is a breeze, I plugged in the unit to let it charge, then fired it up. It walks you through the process of connecting it to a wireless network, and setting up the tuner should you want to use it. A neat feature is that it uses a voice to read you the menu options you are on, for use by anyone who is visually impaired.

The navigation and focus buttons on the top are very easy to use for adjusting the picture and volume. The device also has a little center pad on the bottom that can be screwed in or out to adjust elevation and angle. The built in menu system is intuitive but very basic - you can see the inputs and apps along the bottom of the screen and you select the app or input you want to use. I was able to setup my Netflix account, as well as browse Youtube via the built in apps and they worked just fine. I did find that you need to make sure the remote is pointed directly at the projector for it to work reliably - but it was very simple to navigate.
As for hook up to external devices, I plugged my laptop into the HDMI port, and it worked just as you would hope. My favorite part though was when I took my chromecast, and roku stick, and plugged them into the HDMI/USB port. I was concerned if it would power the device or not - and it did! I was able to stream from my phone, my tablet, or my chrome browser right to the device - just like I would my TV. The fact that I can hook up a smart stick to it, really makes it a go anywhere device for me as I can stream anything that I normally would to my TV right off of my phone or tablet!
The most important thing here is Picture Quality - and it is fantastic. I have included two pictures of it in use - The first is just it projecting onto a kitchen wall in a dim but reasonably lit room, and you can see it has deep colors and is full 1080p. Second I brought it into my basement, and projected it onto the wall - I hope the picture does it justice because even at that size it looked great -
It produces decent sound - the volume is respectable, but its speakers are small, and do not produce any sort of bass. I was pleased with how well it performed on its own, and in a small setting would be just fine, but it is not going to produce a deep movie quality sound. - I was able to pair it to my bluetooth speaker though just fine, and was unable to notice any delay or lag between the sound and the picture.

I could not be happier with the picture quality that this device puts out all the way up to that size. This portable projector by far exceeded my expectations, and I look forward to using it at work, as well as at home for outdoor movies!

This wireless headphones, cam I use it on a laptop and do the laptop need to be bluetooth or is there a adapter that I can plug to my laptop to make it wireless? Can you please let me know. Thanks
So the headset itself is not bluetooth - it comes with a dongle, as you can see in my review. This dongle plugs into usb or can actually support a fiber optic audio cable as well. If you plug the dongle into your PC / Laptop, you should be good to go!
