This 16-port Netgear Switchbox is how all switchboxes should be made: good quality, long-lasting, and great performer. I'm very pleased with the easy set-up process, and the total performance from the device. A++ all around. Keep this one on the shelves at Best Buy.

What can I say about Logitech? Awesome. Crisp. Loud. Rock-on! After setting them up for a client, we blasted out music and disturbed the neighbors. The music quality was professional and solid. Well worth the money. Would buy again. A++

After years of using Windows products, I can attest that Windows 10 has improved since its first release. Engineers are slowly working out the kinks, although it will never be able to touch the likes of Windows 7. But, it's the times, and you must move on. Welcome, Windows 10.

what versions of Photoshop can be run on this machine? I have older versions

Dear Dsherer;

I've seen a few examples of clients putting in Photoshop software up to 5 to 6 years old---and it worked. But once you get to 8 to 10 years old, that is pushing it. Today's Windows 10 is a different beast, and it doesn't match the likes of Windows 7 or Windows Vista. Those products would virtually run anything. Anything. But Windows 10 is particular with most software. Remember the American Greeting Card program (one of the most popular of all time)? Even that one struggles to install and function right. No surprise.

Best of luck,

Let’s say that I put the Disk into my Windows XP pc, and restart my computer. Would it upgrade to Windows 10?

Dear Someguy;

Probably not. Windows XP is too far back, but if it were a Windows 7 machine, that would work. Sorry. Too many generations behind.

Best of luck,

Can these monitors be hooked to each other then to my DELL PC so I have 2 monitors using a HDMI cord? Sarah

Dear Sarah;

You need to plug them from a tower that has either a VGA or HDMI connection. You could have a tower that has two HDMI connectors; that would work, too. But plugging the monitors to each other is a NO GO. They are not meant to be connected together, but rather connected to a source, like a tower or a laptop. Good question, though.

Best of luck,

Best Buy's specifications for this monitor say that it has integrated speakers, but I cannot get them to work. I specifically ordered this monitor for the speakers. If it has none it goes back tomorrow. Other than the speaker issue, I love it.

Dear Tom;

I'm sure by the time you read this note, you returned it. You got it right. I have yet to see anyone using this model with a speaker wire. Other than this one feature not being available, it's a great monitor. Top 5 for 2018. Crisp and sharp. You cannot get any better than this type. I'm sure others in the future will be spectacular, but for now, this is the one to own.

Best of luck.

What can this monitor run. Like games, programs, etc.

Dear Zachman;

It should do everything you ask it to. Combined with a good video card, gaming and pictures should be vivid and lively. It supports VGA and HDMI connections. For the everyday user, it shines in the Top 5 of Monitors for 2018; it's a good quality monitor. A+ in design. Thin and designed well, this Dell 23" monitor does it all. A++ Get one.
