I've always been an AMD patron since graphics cards and processors had choices. Just recently I decided to see what the AI craze was all about with the Stable Diffusion forks. I tried with my small AMD card and it took forever. I had been avoiding the "gotta have CUDA's" in the posts (Nvidia) and it really made a difference. So if AI is your goal, you have to take the Nvidia plunge since most of the AI software is geared to that end. I'm sure AMD will eventually catch up somehow, but for now . . .

I believed I've already reviewed the first monitor so this is nothing more than the twin I decided to get since I was replacing 1 - 24" of a pair that was having a problem. I now have the two 28" 4k as the pair since the first monitor worked so well. Because of the sizes and desk space I use, I did have to get a separate dual monitor stand because of the compressed area I have set up. The dual 28" and your current dual stand should work on an open desk configuration, though.
Because of the refresh rate, I would advise a higher quality Samsung monitor if you're pushing FPS for games and such. For simple photo or video editing as well as YouTube type activities, it'll do just fine with the proper video card.

I've been using a Roku player for a few years now but it started shutting down randomly and rebooting inconveniently during sessions. Figured it was time to upgrade (no fault for it getting old like me!) so 4K appealed to me also.
The only feature I'm missing is the earphone plug but since I also have wireless headsets, not such a big deal.

I've used AMD/ATI products since I built my first computer in the 90's. Since I mainly do hobby photographic/videographic projects, I haven't needed all the hundreds of frames per sec of current gameology or 4K theatrical masterpieces and since the battles of Nvidia/AMD technology over the years have been back and forth with first place honors, I've stuck with what I'm comfortable with. If you choose either--on a non-professional scope--you can't go wrong.
With that said and since this unit does have a port for older monitors (DVI) and 3 DP and 1 HDMI connection, it covers the gamut for what I do. Serious 120FPS gamers . . . maybe spending $600-1000 (just about as much as a computer costs!) would be the better choice though this one can hold its own for lesser games.
If you are a pro graphics/video user, since Nvidia products with their CUDA system seems to be a requirement for many features, you might want to look in that direction. But for the casual user like me . . . this works well enough and reliably.

This is a very convenient way to keep your Quest 2 charged for those ninja battles! Headset and controllers slip right in after a challenging battle of 2 hours or so. Then you're fully charged for the next round. And the charger even comes with two rechargeable batteries and replacement "doors" for the controllers which provides the connectors on the outside.
**Caution** The rechargeable batteries have conductive tape attached to them so it is NECESSARY that you put them in with that conductor facing up (toward the "door" to make connections! That wasn't explained so much in the instructions so I wasted an hour or so trying to figure out why my dock's lights would only blink. Once I examined the batteries closely and realized the "tape" was not touching the door contacts, problem solved!
Secondly, many people opt to get more comfortable grip sleeves for the controllers (rubberized or foam) which is fine. BUT . . . with this Anker system you would need to remove them to charge since the contacts would be covered! I opted to get external straps instead which fit into the "string" slot provided and snap on to the antenna ring of each controller but doesn't block the sensing of the rings.
Finally, if you'll notice in the picture of the dock on one side, charging the head set is accomplished with a small USB-C magnetic dongle which fit into the USB-C slot on the head set. It's small so I would suggest removing it and leaving it on the charger's magnet. If you're doing only wireless, not an issue; just keep it in the head set. But I have a BoboVR replacement headset system which also uses the USB-C connection for the extra battery feature which I strongly recommend if you have trouble killing foes in less than 2 hours. But that's another story of accessories out there to make your Q2 last longer!
I'd say this item is a must-have instead of buying a dedicated USB-C multi-port device and 3 more cables. Less spaghetti is better.

With the purchase of the Quest 2 VR headset and since Meta's prices are too high, I would suggest looking at BB's alternatives for accessories for it. They seem to work just as well.
Note that this cable is long enough and the headset end in angled for a perfect fit once you've velcroed it to the head strap. These 90° fittings were designed to stop the break off fault of the straight connectors sticking so far out so get one! Using the head set wirelessly is fine but for better, reliable bandwidth, it's always better wired! You don't need to spend $99 to adequately get this job done! I guess if you attached hi-tech instruments to measure nano-gHz, you might find some difference but not enough to justify Meta's inflated prices. Use Insignia and spend the difference on a couple of games/apps/accessories instead.

As a tech wanderer, It was only natural to migrate from the Oculus Go to the Meta Quest 2. I don't dive in head first to new things (skipped Q1) but give things time to get updated and sorted out first. And, as usual, I bought something then the newest addition was announced within a month or so later (Galaxy S9+ then S10 released now Q2 and Q3 announced!). I'm not a big gamer but the 3D aspect has always been of interest.
As far as technology, the Q2 is a step up but I'm still getting used to the controller (both hands) difference. The video is fine and the choice between hard-wiring or wifi is a welcome feature. And since I don't like the head attachment or the "fly away" possibility in the heat of the moment, I did my research and invested in accessories which is my suggestion too for others.
Meta accessories are way over priced! I chose BB's Insignia 16' link cable for under$20. BoboVR's much better head strap system (sturdier and comfortable) is reasonably priced and you can get the package with one or two extra "hot-swap" batteries if you have trouble destroying foes in less than2 hours! Best Buy does offer the Anker charging dock which handles controls and headset with the rechargeable batteries. And I found some comfortable hand straps that snap in to the controllers' notch by removing the wimpy wrist string provided so you don't take out your Smart TV with a projectile during battle. (Note: the Anker charging station replaces the existing battery cover that has the charging nodes on the outside so a full cover style means you'll have to take off the sleeves to charge every time!
There are so many YT videos out there explaining the apps and features of this thing, I'll leave it there for now. VR is still developing but Q2 steps it up from earlier products. But, of course. Meta bought Oculus a while ago so it's still tied to complete privacy surrender . . . but so is everything else these days, huh? I'm old enough to remember this TV show phrase "Smile! You're on candid camera!" so if you own a Smart TV/Phone/VR headset . . . well . . . you're already compromised. Be careful and have fun with the Quest 2 . . . Big Brother Zuck is watching you . . . lol! (Star subtraction for that reason)

I haven't had good success with liquid coolers so I stuck with the tried and true air-cooled method. Fan breaks or wears out; replace it. And the perennial problem of dust build up in the aluminum slats; I was attracted to this model which has a removable grill which slides off the pipes with a couple of screw removals. Hit OUTSIDE OF THE CASE with compressed air or simply a stream of water and/or some soap. Slide it back on the pipes, remount the fan never once having to reapply it to the processor.
So far so good keeping the processor cooled.

I didn't "need" another monitor but asked myself why not! But the USB3 didn't do the trick (older computer) but that does also power the monitor so I just ran an HDMI>Micro-HDMI for the video/audio from a splitter to the ZenScreen and main monitor. It also helps if you switch the Display mode to "Duplicate Display" if you're only using the ZenScreen. I do so from my bed with a wireless mouse and/or keyboard. If necessary, you can keep it on "Extend Displays" for a three monitor experience if you have panels in software to spread around.
Of, course, the 15.6" display is a very common size for many laptops so you're not suffering in that regard. And its soft case also doubles as a stand either vertical or horizontal. I just wanted basic but there are others in the line for battery-operated, touchscreen, pen, etc.
I wouldn't consider it for serious gaming. Refresh rates are too low. But for browsing the web or other common tasks like word processing with a pillow in your back, it'll operate with your main desktop system's video card. In fact my card has an HDMI, Display Port and DVI. The DVI>MIcro-HDMI worked also.
The only "drawback" was the headphone (mini-stereo) feature. When you plug in the headphones, the sound still comes out of the speaker unlike most systems that disconnect the speakers for you. I got around that by also using the AUX-Out jack on my speaker system to feed the audio separately to the headphones with an extended audio cable.
Pleased with the ZenScreen for my purposes even though the USB-3 feature didn't work for me. If you have a system from the last couple of years where the USB 3 standard is more current you should be fine.

Additional state or local requirements may apply. Check your local jurisdiction. The following websites may help you make informed decisions about flying your drone: www.knowbeforeyoufly.org and www.modelaircraft.org.
Is this 2 more batteries as shown (with another one powering the drone) or just 2 total in pkg? I assume the latter. Nice deal either way but 3 would be excellent!

SimpliSafe - SimpliCam Indoor HD Wi-Fi Security Camera
Add to your peace of mind with this SimpliSafe home security camera. It expands your existing SimpliSafe system with another viewing angle to monitor your premises, and it streams in 720p HD for clear, sharp images. This SimpliSafe home security camera has night vision capabilities for watching any time of day.
Can i use camera without wifi?
No. The connector is only for power with the provided micro-USB flat cable which connects to the phone charger-type wall wart. It does nothing when you connect it to a computer except charge. Wifi to your smartphone only. Basically, it's designed for their system with cloud storage through their main system hub for the versatility it was designed for. I bought it as a standalone because I didn't understand that limitation. But the camera itself DOES provide a nice normal and infrared image with sound. But if you're not interested in the system (I may be at a later date), look elsewhere.

Is there a way or part to attach camera to the wall?
The stand shown in the picture is easily removable; it just slides out. The actual USB flat cord is housed in a channel just under that which also slides in/out. So with the bracket removed, a little double stick tape/foam or velcro is all that is necessary to mount it. In fact, the body is angled so you could "stick it" in the wall corner, too. Or flat, whatever.

Does this camera have to ability to record sound, and can the footage be downloaded to share with authorities if saved in the cloud?
Yes, it has a mic. Kind of loud if you're monitoring it from your phone. But you can mute it. With the service subscription, yes, the footage can be downloaded. I believe there are different tiers of storage you can buy if the basic storage option isn't enough for your needs. I think it's cyclical storage meaning if you run out of your allotment, it will start erasing the older stuff so that would put a "time limit" on your footage.

I'm mindful of wifi data usage. Is it always streaming or can it be turned off?
Unplugging it would be your best option if you don't want it recording. It uses a phone charger type USB for power so unplugged it will not transmit. And the cord is easily removable at will from the outlet or the back of the camera. There's a slide channel USB connector that "locks" it in securely. Slides out but tensioned so you don't accidentally disconnect.

Hi !!! To connect the cam to my phone do I have to hire any security company ??? How does it works ???
To save any video, yes, you would have to subscribe at minimum $4.95/mo. From the conversations I had, video is stored on their server and there is no way to locally record it. That was my mistake thinking I could. Camera quality/features are fine. If you own a Simplisafe system already. it's a fine addition. But it's not really a standalone.

Can I play beat saber with this? And if yes do I need to buy and extra controller or how? What do I need in order to play? My phone is a samsung s8 I might upgrade it to a newer one will it work on both meanwhile?
I own the Go and I'm NOT a gamer. The Go has a basic "light saber" type controller and although I think you can get a game pad working. I've watched a Beat Saber video and it seems to me that the Rift-type controllers are more suitable to gaming. The Go does offer games but I think they're more of the "non-spacial" 2D things like a Mario Brothers or Sonic type. The Go is 3dof (three degrees of freedom) whereas the higher end devices offer 6dof like the Rift. And the Rift offers more spatial control in the three axis x,y,z as well as movement sensors. Oculus is releasing their Oculus Quest that I understand in in the middle of the two offerings BUT has the controls I think you would prefer in Beat Saber. I wouldn't personally suggest the Go for anyone seriously interested in gaming. Watching video, yes. Whacking musical notes, not so much. I actually tried a similar game, but with one controller, it's too much trying to be in two places at one time.

Is there support for additional microSD? I have a 256G card that I would plug in if available. 32G is pretty small
No. At this time, Go only offers those two internally limited configs. HOWEVER, I use a free app called Skybox to reach out to my PC's storage (more and bigger HD's). You simultaneously run the prog on both devices and point to your Skybox "Movie" folder on the PC where it is stored or your Windows "Video" folder, wherever, and you're good to go, no pun intended. Likewise, you can store the movie(s) on your smartphone if you don't have a wifi router. Then there are apps like Plex or Kodi that can also extend your storage from the PC (and I think iOS?) but I'm PC/Android myself.
Personally, I consider my 32MB Go as a player only. Sure, you can fairly easily load a movie, watch it, take it off, load another, etc. But I consider the Go's internal memory as only its app storage. My media comes from a larger space like my desktop and/or my Freenas server box (with Plex).
Hope this helps.

DJI - Osmo Pocket 4K Action Camera - Matte Black
Take the perfect shot with this DJI Osmo Pocket gimbal. Featuring a compact design and an advanced camera, this device offers easy portability and lets you capture gorgeous pictures and videos in 4K resolution. This DJI Osmo Pocket gimbal offers advanced image stabilization and enhances your action shots with automatic face and object tracking.
Does this take good quality photos? I know videos are great 4K and 1080 but how bout the photos?
If you intend on doing more video than photography, this is a good choice. Excellent 4k 60 fps for slo-mo work; GoPro does 4k@30 only if I'm not mistaken. I think this has better stabilization built-in when you consider the gimbal adjustments available to go with it without accessories. This is designed to compete with the GoPro 7 which is $50 more. And both devices take excellent still shots which matches their video excellence.
If you're more interested in photography (most point-and-shoot cameras these days do video, too), you can get great shots and decent video, though the video probably won't be as good or stable as either of these two units. The gimbal on the Osmo Pocket sets it apart from the GoPro7. You can add $100's of dollars to add one to your GoPro; the Osmo has that excellent technology built in!
I really don't think you could go wrong with either except for the gimbal thing. Your choice: Am I going to do more photography than video? The Pocket's gimbal adds nothing to photography and you have a mechanism that is probably more destructible by its very nature of motorization. But if you're a videographer that takes some pics, no contest. But remember this is a "Pocket." The case provided shields the gimbal in your pocket. Want a quick video, 5 seconds boot up, gimbal set, you're ready to shoot!

Want a quick video, 5 seconds boot up, gimbal set, you're ready to shoot!

ZAGG - InvisibleShield Glass Curve Screen Protector for Samsung Galaxy S9+ - Clear
Deliver premium protection to your Samsung Galaxy S9+ with this Zagg InvisibleShield screen protector. The curved shape hugs your device's display for a secure fit, while tempered glass construction provides defense against scratches and cracks. This Zagg InvisibleShield screen protector offers a case-friendly design, making it easy to pair it with other phone accessories.
I got a 45 dollar glass screen protector and it is too hard to press and taps sometimes dont register and is peeling off so can I replace it with a plastic one or do I have to waste 45 dollars
You didn't mention your phone in your question. I have the Galaxy S9+ and went with the Zagg-InvisibleShield Curve Screen Protector. The instructions specifically recommend turning the screen sensitivity up to max in the phone software. I haven't had an issue. Your phone may be different. But look in your settings to see if that sensitivity can be adjusted.
