 LG - 29" IPS LED FHD 21:9 UltraWide FreeSync Monitor
LG - 29" IPS LED FHD 21:9 UltraWide FreeSync Monitor
Keep on working with this ultrawide LG IPS monitor. Its native resolution is 2560 x 1080, giving you more screen area in which to work in and providing a wider view for your design processes. It also uses IPS technology, which produces vivid colors and good contrasts from this 29-inch LG IPS monitor.
 
Works great... almost too wide.

This screen is exactly as advertised and I used it to replace two smaller monitors that I had set up side by side.
I plugged it into my Dell Inspiron 3558 laptop (Windows 10 Home, 64 bit) and it worked right away. Only thing is that it is actually so wide that it almost needs to be slightly curved. The edges of the screen actually start to get a bit of distortion (parallax error) due to the view angle.
Other than that little thing (which I don't find too bothersome), it works well and has crisp pictures and color. Very good bargain for the price.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This adapter allows me to connect my iPad (Mini 2) to my TV and the AV projector at my office. Works good and lasts a long time! This is the second one that I purchased (so I can leave one at home and one at office.)

Original Equipment Manufacturer charger (aka Apple) is always more expensive than generic, but in doing so, there are no compatibility issues. Otherwise it works as advertised.

Original Equipment Manufacturer cable (aka Apple) is always more expensive than generic, but in doing so, there are no compatibility issues. At least the cable is a bit longer than the one that originally came with my iPad.

 Minecraft: Xbox One Edition - Xbox One
Minecraft: Xbox One Edition - Xbox One
As a child you played with wooden or plastic blocks to create what you saw in the world around you — a house, a car, a bridge, a cement mixer. In high school, you built lamps, signs and more in shop class. You've also constructed full worlds, filled with realistic people simulating real life. Now, you can go back to your childlike roots and build with blocks again — but this time they're virtual blocks, and you can use them to create vibrant, 3D worlds that are filled with adventure and the magic of imagination.Get ready to build whatever pops into your mind when you jump into the 3D, eight-bit worlds of Minecraft. Brought to life on your Xbox One, Minecraft lets you flex and hone your creative might as you construct literally any and everything you can think of. Grab your controller and start stacking virtual blocks to build the open-world of your dreams. Just make sure to make a shelter before nightfall, as that's when the monsters emerge. Are you ready to construct the world of your dreams in nostalgic, eight-bit fashion?
 
Kids love it.

My kids love this game. It has a very basic tutorial, but after a bit, I figured it out. They already knew how to play it from friends...
They would spend countless hours building things if we let them!

Is there volume on this monitor ?

There is not a speaker built into or on the monitor and as such, no volume.

Why can't I fill the whole screen when hooked up to my laptop? I am on the full screen setup.

Make sure you are adding it as an "additional monitor" via the "Extend Screens" setting and not as a "duplicate screen" (Duplicate these displays). This option can be found in the display settings.

The use of Brother Genuine replacement high-yield toner cartridges like the TN-450 produces sharp, black and white pages with the quality you expect from Brother products. The Brother TN-450 replacement laser black toner cartridge is for use with 16 Brother products. This professional cartridge is intelligently engineered to work in seamless unison without compromising the quality of the print. Brother is dedicated to being environmentally responsible and offers disposal programs for properly discarding its cartridges.
 

Will this work with Brother HL-2280DW Laser printer?

I have the Brother HL-2280DW laser printer (purchased from Best Buy) and can't seem to find any toner cartridges here that say they work on my printer. This model (TN-450) as well as the standard capacity (TN-420) toner cartridge both say:

"Compatible with select Brother laser printers
Including DCP7060D, DCP7065DN, HL2220, HL2230, HL2240, HL2240D, HL2270DW, MFC7360N, MFC7460DN and MFC7860DW models."
Yes. The TN420/TN450 cartridge is compatable with your HL-2280DW.
