The Midsomer Series ran for several years. Each episode has a great storyline with twist and turns and will keep you guessing as to who committed the murder. If you like murder mysteries this series is entertaining to watch. The video quality is that typical of DVD.

The receiver produced clean sound. However, to me it seemed a little underpowered for a 5.2 setup with average 50 to 100 watt speakers. It could have been a setting but each time I used direct input, the sub sound would disappear and only the right/left speaker functioned. It does nicely integrate with other Sony products in appearance.

The speaker has very good, clean sound. It was easy to connect to the receiver I purchased. I did return the speaker and exchange for the Polk Signature center channel, which is not as tall. The reason being is that the Polk speaker integrate better into my surroundings and to me is more substantial in appearance.

The Sub has decent base. It was easy to connect to the receiver I purchased. I did return the sub and exchange for the Polk Signature 10 inch sub. The reason being is that the Polk integrates better into my surroundings and to me has more of a substantial appearance.

The SmartThings Hub integrated into my network without a problem. It has a clean modern look. Has funtioned with no problems. The App is very nice. The unit is lightweight so once the cables are attached it can be a little hard to get it to stay in one place. Easily slides around with the stiffer ethernet cable connected.

I purchased this turntable as a return, therefore there was a fair discount. It was in excellent condition. It has worked flawlessly. It nicely integrates with other Sony products such as the Sony 4k Blu-Ray player. I have it connected to a PC currently, downloaded the Sony recording App and it has functioned with no problems. The recordings to me are excellent. Allow for extra room behind the turntable when you lift up the top.

The SmartThings Outlet has worked flawlessly. I use it to turn off/on some security products and it has worked without a problem. I like the fact that being a Smart outlet it can be controlled from the SmartThings App as well as from the on/off button the side.

Create lasting color copies with this Epson 410 cyan ink cartridge. The fade, water and smudge resistance of its Claria Premium dye color preserve your treasured images and text for hundreds of years in archival-grade quality. Save time and money by only replacing the color you need with this Epson 410 cyan ink cartridge.

I have never had any clogging issues using Genuine ink for my Epson printer. The only negative is I generally get less than the rated prints when I use the non XL cartridges such as this one. Item was promptly shipped..

Ensure a ready supply of ink with this Epson 410 combo 4-pack. The high-print quality and smudge resistance of its Claria Premium dye color enhance the depth and clarity of photo images and text printouts. The individual cartridges of this Epson 410 combo 4-pack lower waste and cost by letting you replace only the color you need.

 Samsung - 970 EVO 250GB Internal PCI Express 3.0 x4 (NVMe) Solid State Drive with V-NAND Technology
Samsung - 970 EVO 250GB Internal PCI Express 3.0 x4 (NVMe) Solid State Drive with V-NAND Technology
Back up important data with this 250GB Samsung solid-state drive. Its V-NAND technology uses a 3D, stacked layout to maximize storage capacity while minimizing bulk, and it has no moving parts, so it's less susceptible to physical damage and drive failure. This Samsung solid-state drive operates quietly to reduce disturbances.
 

Does this include a screw to secure it?

This SSD does not include a screw. Screws for mounting SSD's of this type come with the motherboard or the device you are installing it in. I have purchased several M.2 SSD's of this type for installation, and no matter the brand I chose (usually, but not always, Samsung) none of them included the mounting/holding screw.

Easily navigate Web sites, menus and your media with this 21.5" Dell S2240T LED monitor, which features a 10-point multitouch display for simple operation. The 1920 x 1080 maximum resolution delivers striking high-definition visuals.
 

Include stand?

Does purchase of this monitor include the stand shown in picture?
The stand comes already attached to the monitor but is removable. The monitor can be wall mounted once the stand is detached from the monitor (requires the removal of two screws). The stand is metal (aluminum I assume) and is sturdy and the one I have seen in photos of the monitor.

Mount screen

Can this screen be mounted like a TV? Does it have the normal 4 screw attachments on the back? Could not see this on the picture listed.
The monitor can be mounted using a standard VESA mount (100 mm).

It will work but you will need a minidisplay port to HDMI adapter.

dual monitor

If I already have an iMac, can I use this as a dual monitor?
You can use this monitor with an Imac as a second display if the Imac has a video out port. I assume it does, so you would need a mini-display port to HDMI adapter. Even though you can use the monitor as a second display, keep in mind touch will not work with Mac OS X (a limitation of the OS and not the monitor).

Will the "touch" portion work with my mac mini?

No, not unless you're running Windows 8.1 on your Mac Mini. The Mac Desktop OS currently does not support touch. This is a limitation of the OS and not a fault of the monitor.

Why is touch not working with my MacBook Pro, OSX 10.9?

My S2240T displays nicely as a second monitor for my MacBook Pro, however touch is not working — it might as well be a much cheaper, non-touch screen.

The included Drivers and Documentation disc does not include a Mac driver, nor does the 100+ page manual mention "Apple" or "Mac" even once. Does Dell not support Mac? Or even acknowledge its existence?
Mac OS X for the Desktop does not currently support touch capabilites; this is something Apple current has not designed into their Desktop OS and not a limitation of the monitor.

Can I plug in a Keyboard?

You cannot plug in any USB peripherals directly into the monitor; the USB port that is built in is to enable the touch capability only. The 23 inch version of this monitor as well as the Acer 23 inch do have USB ports built into the monitor.
