ASUS - ProArt 24" FHD+ IPS 75Hz Professional Monitor (DisplayPort, HDMI, VGA) - Black
ProArt Display PA248QV is a 24.1-inch monitor designed to satisfy the needs of creative professionals, from photo and video editing to graphic design. ProArt Display PA248QV is factory calibrated and Calman Verified to deliver superb color accuracy. It also provides industry-standard 100% sRGB / 100% Rec. 709 color space coverage. With ASUS-exclusive features, such as ProArt Preset and ProArt Palette with six-axis color, black-level and brightness adjustments, PA248QV makes it easy to achieve the exact look you desire quickly, easily and precisely.
This monitor is excellent for editing photos and slides. It has incredibly accurate color rendition right out of the box. It has an aspect ratio of 16:10, which is better for processing my photos and slides than the usual 16:9 aspect ratio. The 24 inch screen is perfect for my work. Its 1920X1200 resolution is well matched to my work needs. To top it all off it provides a built in 4 port usb hub, as well as a stand that has a remarkable degree of positioning capability.
I strongly recommend this monitor to those editting photos and slides.
Back up important files securely with this black WD easystore desktop hard drive. The 20TB capacity provides ample space for archives and videos, while the USB 3.0 connectivity provides broad compatibility with most Windows and Mac devices. This WD easystore desktop hard drive features plug-and-play functionality for a quick, simple setup.
I do regular image backups of my workstation, that has four NVMe m.2 drives . For this I need large capacity, external, hard drives. This 20TB drive is well suited for the task. Its only shortcoming is that it heats up to more than 50deg C during the long backup time, if left to its own devices. I have fixed this issue by positioning a pair of 80mm fans beneath it, to force cool air into its housing (see photo).
The drive also performs well for a hard drive, as can be seen in the results of a Crystal Disk Mark speed test. The temperature at the start of the test was 24 deg C. At the end of the test it was 33 deg C, and dropped to 25 deg C just 3 minutes after the end of the test. The fans are very effective.
I use two separate external hard drives for my backups, alternating between each one. This is good enough for my needs.
I recommend this drive to anyone needing a simple, cost effective way to do large backups.
Like a Comfy Couch! The Vernazza Soft Fabric design is based on Arozzi~s top rated Vernazza chair, but has been covered with a soft yet durable fabric used on quality furniture! The breathable material is exceptionally pleasing to sit in, while at the same time keeping you cool for long term use! The wheel base has been upgraded to an aesthetically pleasing aluminum metal with a matte black finish, and the updated gas lift added some additional height to the seat ideal, expanding its comfort range and making it an ideal choice for taller body types as well!
This chair fills my needs as a tall (6 ft 1 in) and somewhat heavy (260 lb) individual. It is also comfortable and classy looking.
The chair itself is heavy (57 lb) and arrives in a fairly massive box (62 lb). The box arrived showing some wear (photos), which is to be expected for one of its weight and size. However, the contents were very well packed and in excellent condition.
I recommend that assembly be done on a large, clear area of floor - and that an old sheet be spread over that surface to protect the chair during assembly. I carefully unpacked the pieces, and checked against the list of pieces. Everything was there, including the only tool needed for assembly and a pair of very nice white gloves to protect the very nice finish of the chair.
I very carefully read the instructions included, but found the video showing assembly to be more helpful. Working by myself and proceeding very carefully, it took me about 90 minutes to do the unpacking, repeated viewing of the installation video, and assembly. The finished chair looks very nice.
To date my main activity making use of the chair is digitizing and editting old family slides. I keep the back of the chair upright, and find it quite comfortable for my long editting sessions.
My one criticism of the chair is that the arm rests do not appear to be very sturdy - but this does not impact me as I rarely use them while doing my work on the computer.
I would not hesitate to recommend this chair.

8BitDo - Pro 2 Wireless Controller for Switch, Windows, macOS and Android - Gray
Get a handle on all the action of your favorite games with this gray 8BitDo SN30 Pro+ Bluetooth gamepad. The modifiable vibration feature offers a realistic feel while playing FPS and RPG titles, while the 1000 mAh rechargeable battery pack offers up to 20 hours of use when fully charged. This 8BitDo SN30 Pro+ Bluetooth gamepad has adjustable hair triggers for added accuracy and faster response times.
I got an incredible price for this as a Deal of the Day.
The first sign of a problem was when I hooked it up to my computer with the provided usb cable. It appeared to be charging, but the gamepad was not seen by my computer. I turned on bluetooth and it was seen. I made repeated attempts to play Forza Horizon 4 - but it would disconnect in just a few seconds.
After digging through many user reviews I found several users with the same problem, that was solved by updating the firmware of the gamepad. I found the website with the updates, and making the update was actually pretty easy.
With that done I was able to play Forza Horizon 4 using bluetooth without disconnecting.
I then tried playing using a usb cable, but one that I had on hand and knew was good. This time the gamepad immediately connected with my computer, which properly identified the gamepad.
I have deducted one star for the bluetooth connection problem. It would have been helpful if a card had been provided mentioning a possible need to update the firmware, and pointing to instructions on how to do it.
I deducted another star for what appears to be a defective usb cable. Luckily I had one of my own on hand.
I recommend this gamepad if you can get a considerable discount on it.
Protect high-end devices with this CyberPower UPS battery backup. The multifunction LCD screen provides immediate charge status of the battery and power conditions to keep you informed, while the automatic voltage regulation maintains a safe voltage level to conserve battery life. This CyberPower UPS battery backup has data line protection that helps prevent damage to electronics.The GX1500U features an advanced multifunction control panel with a color LCD to quickly confirm status and alerts at-a-glance. The screen tilts for easy viewing when the UPS is placed in a low position such as under a desk. Two USB charge ports (one Type-A and one Type-C) power portable devices such as mobile phones and tablets, even during a utility power failure.The GX1500U uses Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) to correct minor power fluctuations without switching to battery power, which extends battery life. AVR is essential in areas where power fluctuations occur frequently.
I purchased my first gaming pc over two months ago, and needed a sine wave battery backup system to protect my investment. This new pc uses a 850W power supply, and can draw as much as 600W at times. This ups provides the protection my new pc needs. I have had no issues with it. It has been a good purchase.
The Best Buy essentials 4-Port USB 2.0 Hub uses a single USB port to connect up to four USB devices. Just plug the hub into your computer, and the blue LED indicating light lets you know it~s ready for your devices. A 5V, 500 mAh port output delivers consistent and quick power, while a data transfer speed of up to 480 Mbps performs at the speed you need.
I have a wealth of items that need power via a usb port- fans, speakers, etc. This powered usb hub fills that need very well - and keeps my usb 3 ports free for items that need data transmission. It is a very cost effective tool.

Crucial - P3 1TB Internal SSD PCIe Gen 3 x4 NVMe
Basic bootup speeds won~t cut it ~ not at work, on the go, or in the game. But the Crucial P3 SSD is anything but basic. With NVMe performance that~s more than 6x faster than SATA2 and storage capacities up to 4TB3, the P3 leaves older storage technology in the dust. Get faster bootups, downloads and file transfers, and store all your files, photos, videos, apps, and games with room to spare with the quality and dependability you expect from Crucial.
I have an older machine that uses one of these for the system drive. It works so well, and is priced so well, that I purchased a second one to use for system image backups. I clone my system drive to this each month, to use as a backup. It is a fairly fast process, and provides a good way to recover if a problem develops.

FLTR - FLTR95 Sealing Face Masks 10-Pack - White
FLTR95 Sealing Face Masks use a melt-blown polypropylene filter that is highly effective, offering ~95% filtration of airborne particulates @ 0.3+ microns. And, unlike cloth or surgical masks, Sealing Face Masks are designed to reduce particles inhaled by the wearer. The tight face-to-mask seal of the FLTR95 reduces leakage and directs inhaled air through the filter membrane to minimize inhaled particles. Secure fitting ear loops pull the mask back snugly against the face, while the folded form factor and adjustable nose piece conforms well to a variety of face shapes and sizes. The multi-layer construction uses materials selected to deliver the functionality required by demanding wearers. An outer layer provides a barrier against large particles and droplets. The filter layer uses a purpose-built melt-blown polypropylene membrane to capture small particles and aerosols. Lastly, dual comfort layers help to wick moisture and heat from exhaled air away from the mouth and face. FLTR95 masks undergo a rigorous and continuous quality control and testing process to ensure a consistent, reliable standard. They are produced at internationally certified facilities, tested on state-of-the-art technical equipment at FLTR~s QC department, and verified by independent 3rd party test labs. Since face masks can accumulate airborne particles and moisture over time, FLTR95 masks are intended for single use only and can easily be disposed of after use. Not for medical use. This personal protective mask cannot eliminate the risk of contracting infectious disease. Intended for single use only ~ discard after use.
How many layers does this mask have? Nowhere in the Overview or in the Specifications does it explicitly give this information.

Philips - Wireless Over-Ear Noise Canceling Headphones - Black
The Philips PH805 headphones give you control over what you hear and what you don~t, no matter what the day brings you. Enjoy your favorite songs in Hi-Res Audio during your morning workout in wireless freedom. Switch to Google assistant to check your flight information with a touch, and then enjoy your flight in silence by activating noise canceling. And enjoy your videos in high quality sound once you get to the hotel. One set of headphones can now cover all of your needs. With the PH805, you control what you hear and what you don~t hear. A tap to the ear-cup will activate noise cancelation, so you can be enveloped in a shroud of silence when you need to concentrate or rest. If you want to turn the volume down on the world but still hear louder sounds like someone speaking to you, simply activate Awareness Mode with another tap. The PH805 comes with Google Assistant, which allows you to manage your life on the move, without taking out your phone. Just touch the headband to activate it. Open your calendar, read notifications from your phone, call or send messages to friends, or check the weather simply by asking Google Assistant. The PH805 is also a quality headphone set that delivers detailed, high resolution sound, which you can use as your go-to headphones for home or on the go entertainment. Hi-Res Audio means that they are capable of playing back lossless audio at a higher sample rate than most headphones and CDs when connected to a high-res source. The benefits of the PH805 last for a full 30 hours, making them an ideal solution for every situation you find yourself in throughout the day (and night). You get up to 30 hours of play time (or talk time) with noise canceling off, or 25 hours of use with it on. If you need an extra 2 to 6 hours of battery life, 5 to 15 minutes of charging will be enough. The Philips PH805 has you covered. And when you are finally through using the Philips PH805s, they fold right up into a compact travel case, making them convenient to take with you wherever you go.
How much lag is there when these headphones are used to watch tv? Is it noticeable?
