I am a PC Gamer but decided to get a PS5, and I love it.
I needed to learn to use the controllers.
I needed to learn to use the controllers.
Playstation Plus was a great addition because it allowed me to get a bunch of PS4 games at no extra cost so I could learn to work with the controllers.
My daughter loved it because she could get her favorite version of COD without having to buy it again.

I call this best in class because I had purchased a less expensive brand that could only charge via a USB-C port. Well the PS5 has a USB-C port on the front. But it is not powered when the PS5 is turned off, and I didn't like having it stick out the front. And it did not come with a charging brick. The price of which would make its cost higher than the DualSense.
So I got the Sony DualSense. it comes with a charging brick so I can plug it into my power center and not have cords running around.

Like a lot of games that get a lot of hype about how awesome they are, this game becomes a little tiring after several hours. Kind of a rinse, wash, repeat type of game.
For me I prefer a little more of a challenge.

Shine 2000 lumens of brightness on driveways, sideyards and high-traffic areas with a hardwired adjustable Floodlight. Floodlight Wired connects to the Ring Bridge (sold separately) to unlock smart controls and custom combinations in the Ring App. The Ring Bridge lets you group together Ring Smart Lights and connect them to Ring doorbells and cameras. If one Ring Bridge-enabled device detects motion, it can turn on lights, activate cameras and more. With the Ring Bridge you can also link your Ring Smart Lights to select Alexa-enabled devices to turn on lights and adjust settings at the sound of your voice.
Excellent motion sensor flood. Needs to be smarter

Great motion sensor flood light. You can adjust the angle of the lights. They are very bright and can light up my driveway all the way to the street and beyond.
However, the setting in the app is supposed to tell them to turn off after 30 seconds of no motion. Sometimes it will stay on for hours.

Ring - Smart Lighting Bridge - White
The Ring Bridge unlocks smart controls for Ring lights. It lets Ring lights, doorbells and cameras talk to each other and work better together in the Ring App, so you can receive mobile notifications whenever motion is detected and adjust settings with your phone or tablet. With the Ring Bridge you can also group together Ring Smart Lights and connect them to Ring doorbells and cameras. If one Ring Bridge-enabled device detects motion, it can turn on lights, activate cameras and more. It also lets you connect Ring Smart Lights to Alexa-enabled devices to turn on lights and adjust settings at the sound of your voice. *One Ring Bridge supported per household. Supports approximately 50 Ring Smart Lighting devices, including Motion Sensors (dependent on usage and other factors).
Smart device, could be smarter.

The Ring Bridge seamlessly ties all your Ring Products into groups for easy access and control on your Smart Phone, tablet or computer. Requires the Ring App.
However, it could be smarter than it is.
I installed 2 Ring Floods (one with a camera) on the front of my house and a Ring bulb into my 3rd existing lantern. The Bridge via the App can turn that bulb on and off in dusk/dawn. However what would be smarter of it if I could tell that bulb to turn on and off when the floods detect motion.
Also you use the app to program the Bridge to control your devices. The settings do not always work to well. Meaning I set my floods to turn off after 30 seconds of no motion, and sometimes they will stay on for hours.
However, I do recommend this as it is a very good device and ties it all together.

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.
