Wow - bright. Didn't realize how not bright my old monitor was. The VGA to VGA cable didn't seem to work (no signal). So I hooked up the very same VGA to a HDMI converter at the PC plug in. That seemed to work. Thought that was a bit weird that I had to do that. Love the tilt - makes it easier to view ergonomically.

Works great - a bit heavy for my taste, yet I'll live with it. Also does not like to work on glass, so I have to put paper on it. I had a little one that worked on glass, so was a bit surprised.

Actually the sound quality is good, yet when recording a voicemail it's very choppy on the recording - still can't figure that one out even with customer service. I'll keep working on that part.
Overall, I am happy with it so far. One big con was that I didn't know you couldn't call conference line #'s, which is totally stupid. Trying to figure another alternative for that.

I occasionally saw water on the floor and the top control panel would be wet, so I was always wiping it down. After a couple years, the control panel (board) went - rusted out (to the tune of apx $350 to fix). The geek squad rep was fabulous, trying a new door gasket and this and that, in addition to the new control board/panel. I kept having to call saying water still on cp and floor. He just couldn't come up with an explanation.
After that, I found my air gap was overfilling onto the counter and slowing dripping towards the dishwasher. The reason I think I didn't notice it, is that I would usually run it at night and by morning the counters were dry. I cleaned the air gap and unattached the hoses and snaked them to clear but there was nothing but water in it.
Come to find out the Best Buy's plumber they used put in a 5 foot rubber hose (attached to another 18" hose for drain) which went down and up and around to get to the drain. After tons of research on how to stop the air gap from overflowing, I found out that the hose from the air gap needed to go directly to drain without huge loops (almost full circle). Think about it, no pump from the air gap to the drain so the water just sat on the bottom of the loop and back flowed and then overflowed the air gap onto the counter. Idiot plumber cost me a lot of unnecessary money. Maybe best buy should check out their plumbing specs.
So, I just got done, slicing off apx 4' of rubber hose and another 8" of smaller hose and now have it direct to the drain. Guess what? No more water overflow. I hope BB reads this and does something about it.

software for on screen cap lock indicator k350.

Just shows up on my screen (quickly) when locking caps. Do not know if it is a software thing, but pretty sure you can go to logitech and download their keyboard/mouse software for your unit.

Does this model support youtube tv? Does not work on my Samsung tv after purchasing service.

Yes it does. Add YouTubeTV channel on Roku via online or in the Roku itself. Open YTTV channel, sign in and you should be good to go. Remember to switch to Roku on your TV (not the Samsung smarthub) to use YTTV app.

What is the return policy for this? I need phone service for my work from home job, and I am not sure this will work.

Best Buy has a great return policy. It should work great for you. Only caveat is that you cannot call conference call lines from it (you'd have to use your cell for that).

P.S. If you are cancelling a current phone service, make sure you set MJ up right away (following instructions) to see how it works for you. Once satisfied, you can port your # if you wish over to MJ. If current phone is Xfinity, they usually take 5 days to transfer # and then keep your account 'pending' for another 10 days. So, it will take apx 15 days before you can cancel the voice.

I have a magicJack system from years ago. I want to upgrade, but I hear the MagicJack Home does not work with Windows 10. Is this true? and if it is, is there another version I can try?

Yes - it'll work, just google 'magicjack and windows 10' and you'll see how to configure

Can you use a wireless headset with the phone

This is not a phone - you plug your phone into it and if you can use wireless headset with your personal phone, then yes, it'll work like before you transferred to MJ.
