Stop replacing batteries all the time. This charge kit replaces the regular batteries. You can charge it while playing. Modern controllers also power your gaming headsets and vibrate. Energy consumption is higher so this is a great fit.

I purchased this for use with an Xbox One S. I was concerned that running it through the controller would deplete the battery quickly. While it does require more charging you can charge the controller while using it. Sound quality is good but not great and my daughter says players sometimes have a hard time hearing her. After a couple hours of gaming it does get a little uncomfortable. Overall it is a really good budget gaming headset.

I purchased this headset for use while working at home for video meetings computer phone calls. I was worried that it would be uncomfortable for long term wearing but it actually is not uncomfortable The microphone is responsive and the audio is crisp and clear. I also use it for listening to music while I work and the sound quality is good. I think it would also work very well for home gaming as well.

Doom has a long history that helped define the genre. The graphics engine is spectacular but I feel the story line is weak. There really is not a lot of finesse to game play and the scenarios tend to get repetitive. The multiplayer H2H aspect was a little clunky and could use refinement. I would still recommend playing it but my expectations were to high for it.

This game was a lot of fun, great graphics, and one of the very few times I didn't turn off the music. However, this game could greatly benefit from a Fast Travel option. The game does get pretty repetitive in that your quite often doing the same parkour tricks quite often and you tend to go from point A to B to C etc. Certainly not open world. And the game is short, I did all missions and finished in about 21 hours. If it had not been for the ability to skip cut scenes it would have added about 4 to 5 hours.

I have wanted a color laser at home for some time but they were so very expensive. When my ink jet printer quit working I found this printer on sale. What a great value. I don't print photos anymore so this is a perfect fit. It is fully network capable. I can copy, scan direct to my computer, and as a bonus I can print from my phone or from my work to the printer using a email address that belongs to the printer. The only drawback is that it is cumbersome when trying to change paper sizes and selecting from a specific tray.

As with almost all Apple products they are well built and have a very high quality of sound. However, as with all Apple products they are expensive. I would suggest also getting a carrying case that can attach to a back pack or something.

This LG OLED television is Wi-Fi-enabled and integrates smart features so you can watch your favorite online videos and the recent blockbusters.
What is the width of the base? (Only depth was listed in specs and height can be inferred from measure diagram).
The picture of the base is a little misleading. It looks like the part that touches the stand is actually smaller. I needed to build a riser for my TV to get it over my center channel speaker and needed this spec.
However, I was in a competitors warehouse store 3 days before my TV arrived and they had it on display on the stand. I happened to have my tape measure with as I was going to look at potential new stands.
sure enough it really is exactly as long as the spec say

Take the excitement of surround lighting to the next level with the Philips Hue Play gradient lightstrip. This LED strip flawlessly blends multiple colors of light at the same time, mimicking the content on the entire screen for an immersive, full-room entertainment experience unlike any other. Hue Bridge and Hue Play HDMI Sync Box required, not included.
How does the HDMI sync box function if I am running sound through the HDMI(arc) connection to WISA wireless speakers?
It is unfortunate that you have to have your devices feeding into the sync box and the sync box feeds the Hue and your TV input. Otherwise it should function as normal

I'm looking for a monitor that's capable of running high refresh rate (120-144), 1ms timing and higher resolution than 1080p (1440) through Hdmi. I've read this is hard to do through hdmi, is this monitor capable of doing this?
You are better off with a GPU with Display Port.
To get that kind of refresh rate via HDMI you will need a card that outputs HDMI 2.0 and and HDMI 2.0 cable.
I have 2 of these monitors hooked up. One on HDMI and the other on DP. My HDMI one maxes out at 60 hz. DP maxes out at 144 using a mid range AMD GPU. On my gaming computer I am running 165 hz via DP on a RTX 2070

i tried recalibrating, but I think I messed up. How do I get everything back to normal? I used a colorimeter and DisplayCal. I already tried resetting to factory settings, but still it seems off.
I was able to adequately calibrate my monitors using the onboard menus. If you manually attached a colormeter you may have messed up some bios or some such.
If you have access to a Dell computer hook up the monitor and right click and activate Dell Display Manager. You may be able to reset the monitor with that
When you tried to reset it did you use Windows or the Monitor menu. I assume you used the monitor menu

Is there a 32" screen size available with the following specs 32" 4k IPS 144hr+ 1 millisecond response time non ultrawide?
Dell does make a 32" but it costs around $5000
If your using it for gaming. Many experts will agree that 27" is the optimal. Many of your larger monitors do not have all the bells and whistles because the monitor is to large.

It says freesync and g sync on the website I bought it from but the box only says freesync. How would you use g-sync
I never noticed that on the box but I just looked and that is the way it is.
However, I am running my monitors one two computers. One had AMD and the other is NVIDIA. I do gaming on the NVIDIA computer and work on the AMD computer.
I verified via game interface that it was running on G-Sync and they are automatically switching between the two.
