If you are a coffee lover you have to try grinding your own beans. You will get a fresher brew and will taste even better. I love this one, holds a ton of beans. Got it dialed in for just over a medium grind, 2 tablespoons of coffee beans equates to a 12-14oz. Cup depending on the brewer you use. It is a little loud when on full spin but that’s to be expected.

Wow what a great upgrade from my first generation iPad! I can tell it is significantly faster, the new features added with the updated iOS are fantastic plus the ability to use the writing pen and the ability to attach to a keyboard almost makes it like a mini computer. I’m not too impressed with the battery life but my daughter has been playing some games on it which are more CPU/Memory heavy so that’s why. The color is beautiful, smooth finish and classic Apple craftsmanship. Picked up the 2nd gen pencil, case and tempered glass screen cover.

Virus security is important these days so it’s imperative to have it on your PC. This free subscription came with one of my other purchases to use as a three month trial. Works on both windows and Mac which is pretty solid.

Arrived with a broken panel and had such high hopes for my new Samsung since my old 52” Touch of Color still looks great after 10 years. Much to my dismay, I see their quality has gone downhill. Even if this TV arrived without a broken panel, the panel itself looks like a 1” think piece of plastic from a side angle, leaving a huge gap for other components in the TV for an eyesore wall mount setup. Specs look great, pics look great and website does a great pump job but after experiencing it and seeing the materials myself, I cannot recommend this TV to anyone at this price point.

I am somewhat satisfied with my purchase, the reds are a little off right out of the box and I have been configuring the multitude of settings. Ultimately I would recommend (and will be getting one myself) a professional calibration. This ensures you get the most out of your investment and the best possible picture quality.

Ahead of its time, ahead of the game is the GIGABYTE AERO OC 16G Graphics Cards.

Would this be a good GPU for working with Unreal Engine 5?

It sure is, I have done multiple benchmarks with it. You should have no issues doing any type of rendering. Your main bottleneck would potentially be your CPU if any but I run an Intel i7-12700KF and it crushes everything I throw at it.

Will a 750 watt psu handle this and a 12700k?

I am running a 1000W PSU but I do not think a 750W will be able to push this card and an i7-12700K. The minimum power supply requirement for this card by itself is 850W.

i HAVE A 82 INCH SAMSUNG SMART TV, AND I WONDERING IF WE CAN PUT A WEBCAM ON IT TO VIDEO CHAT WITH GRAND KIDS OR LIVE CONFERENCE. IF SO WHAT BRAND AND MODLE WOULD WE NEED TO DO SO.

If you have that big of a TV you don’t want to get a WebCam that is only 1080P. You will want to get a WebCam that is a 4K/HD WebCam otherwise you will have a more grainy looking video versus the high-quality image your TV is capable of. I would hit up Samsung support for specifics and they can move you in the right direction.

How do you hook this up to you computer is it good for zoom conference calls etc.

It’s a simple plug and play. Your PC Should recognize the device when you plug in the USB and when you open up your zoom application, it will use that HD camera as a default WebCam. Or you might have to play with the settings. Works fine with Zoom for my daughters online classes.

65" LG OLED TV A1 Thin Q. The picture on the screen is not a crystal clear one like ones in the store. Blurry. Do I have something programmed wrong?

The ones in the store are professionally calibrated to look like that. You can get that done as well through Best Buy or maybe check some YouTube vids on the TVs best settings.
