A frustration with regular toasters is when the dial gets moved and you don't know it and your level of toasting changes.
This toaster solves that. The display shows you the toasting time. and can be adjusted in 15 to 20 second increments.
There is a cancel button that will stop and eject.

I replaced my Titanium AfterShokz because my new puppy chewed them up. They had excellent sound. However, the Aeropex are a next level up.
I really like the button on the left bow that you can press once to pause and press twice to skip to the next song.
Very comfortable for long wear, works will with glasses.
The only drawback, which is also a benefit, is that they project a little behind your head so wearing a stocking cap can be conflicted.
However, unlike some other brands not having the back side press against your head makes them more comfortable for long term wear.

Professional all the way across the board.
Setting up a TV is not necessarily a difficult task. But when you purchase a large expensive TV you do not want to take the chance that you did something wrong and it does not work after you set it up.

Great second controller.
The PS5 controllers are excellent and have good battery life. However, this is a second one so when the first one loses power I can keep playing.
Also, great to have when a friend comes over to play

This LG OLED television is Wi-Fi-enabled and integrates smart features so you can watch your favorite online videos and the recent blockbusters.
OLED77CXPUA what is the actual footprint of the base that is touching the TV stand. I do not believe 47.2" is the correct answer. That seems to be the part that connects to the TV itself

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.
