after seeing preview sale a couple weeks ago , i ordered this thanksDay and picked up yesterday blackFriday .. great picture for only $150 and if this last for 2 years ,, i got my money worth .. this is my 6th insigna tv ,, i have the 19" 22 to 24" and the 1024-50" for a few years now and all are working and have a great picture ..
when first powered on ,, i see the 3 color converged perfect with sharp lines,, see my posted photo ,, and meebe in a couple years it may go off a little ,, like my current 1024 50" ,, but if it still has great picture ,, it donna matter since i got that at a great cheep price too ..

for decades i had the ionic breeze and very happy .. but also move to different rooms to use .. i got this to test and is easier to move than the bigger one ...
the first thing i notice is ,, you donna know if the light is on or working ,, you cannot see if it is lit , unless you take off the back as if to replace the bulb meebe .. which i not done yet ..
having a fan and having to change filters loses stars .. it will work as an air filter and i will use depending situation ,,, but have no idea if it really kills them bad jermmy .. and you are suppose to replace the bulb even if it is not burnt out .. after a certain amount of use ..
so to sum it all up ,, is why i did not buy a large biggie full size one .. to play with .. at lot more cost ..

i got this on deal of day total cost ~400 ,, but then gave to friend who needed it .. so my review is minimal ..
recommend you setup completely the system and configure the software before installing .. that it works as you want it to .. as other reviewers stated .. i also jumped on this because of minimal negative reviews and even though negative reviews ,, it was not a bad serious issue or defect of the product ..
it was setup easily with apple phones ,, i was told you can also just read the barcode and it get configured automatically .. and or do it manually ...
my friend has trouble configuring on various pc ,, which i helped and figured it out without even reading anything .. the software is not that intuitive but works .. there is a configure panel to set dvr variables ,, then configuring the software to find the dvr and creating a group and it works on the pc ..
so the system is working as a monitoring system ,, it now up to my friend to configure all other features to his needs ..

i was hoping to use for macro photo shooting ,, but need to make a bracket to hold 2 units and hit the subject .. it put out good lighting to play with ..
i also been using it as a general flash light at times ,, and it great to provide a flood light effect if you need to more aound in the dark in the house on blackouts and being out side at night too ..
and even to search for things in dark scary places ,, it works well .. to scare the ghost away ..

with my $10 reward , i got this for $25 ,, i now have 3,, but this one is more powerful to heat ,,, and has a temperature setting where my other 2 insigna only do power level setting ..
i travel with these to use in hotel to perk morning coffee and cook soup, or whatever in a pot .. lot easier than other methods ..
i like these with timer to shut off ,, after a while of use ,you learn what value to set and just let it go and not worry about burning or over cooking ..
my 2 original purchase a few years ago was primarily for summer cooking that it does not heat up the kitchen , ,and now with 3 of these i can cook more item at same time ...
these single units are also better than a dual cooker unit ,, where i seen reviews of them that you can't set both dual cooker to max at the same time ... but with separate one you can ,, your limit then becomes the circuit breakers of your house wiring ..
very happy with all three of my insigna brand units , especially summer cooking and outside deck ,,, and traveling ..

if your display is 17" ,, your laptop case width is not .. but this briefcase fits my dell just barely at 16" inside ,,,
this case is nicer that it expands wider with 3 gussets to add trackball and mouse and and extra keyboard and other stuff ... which is a better buy than the 2 gusset other samsonite ...
straps and shoulder strap and material and zippers all look good quality as typical and got mine on bestbuy sale ,, i jumped immediately

The advertisement claims the complete accessories, but the actual package is missing a couple accessories, blade oil and cleaning brush. I returned it and got another one from a local BestBuy and same issue. Why the package is not as advertised?
the one i purchased ,, all the accessories were in a sealed clear plastic bag ,, if you get a box with all loose accessories not in a sealed bag ,, i guess you now know what ..

Connect up to 4 devices to the coaxial connection from your cable or indoor/outdoor VHF/UHF/FM antenna with this mini drop amplifier. It works with the DC power provided by components, or with the AC power provided by the included adapter.
I have 4 TV's wired for cable & trying to switch to antenna. Purchased RF-G1179 splitter. Installed antenna & plugged antenna cable into INPUT, & connected power. When I disconnect first TV cable wire & plug into output can't scan any channels no signal??
it looks like you are doing a first time ota tv antenna , either indoor or outdoor ,, you may need to point your antenna to transmitting tower .. and get a signal ,, if weak , then the amp will boost the signals .. if you have no signal the amp will do nothing ..

Would like to use this lens to photograph the Grand Canyon. I am an amateur photographer with an EOS Rebel SL1. Would I be able to use this lens with this camera & have it on auto focus? Thank you for your time.
if your question is real ,, my personal = no ,, for many reasons ...you would not understand based on your experience level ..
if you can spend $2k lens with $400 camera ,, i would recommend getting a bridge camera like a nikon p1000 or p500 series ..
and have way more of a camera setup for your experience level to use and save you at least $1000 ...
if you just a lens recommendation , i see bestbuy has the Sigma 8-16mm as a better match for you level and camera ,, to just answer your question which is for the wide angle view and auto ..and save you about $1300 .. .

Its 9-foot length lets you run the lightweight cable around the room for versatile placement, and the three grounded outlets provide extra charging points. This 16-gauge Insignia extension cord has a PVC coating for long-lasting use, and the easy-grip plug is quick to remove.
wall outlet is a two prong is there any extension cords that will fit in two prong but be able to plug a grounded cord from a tv lets say
you are better off just changing the old wall 2 prong outlet ,, home depot -lowes or hardware store sells 3 prongs ,, swap out your old and connect the ground ,, and you are not just better off but safer too
