Fantastic; perfect for multiples

Light weight, clear as a bell, thin, just what a multitasker or power user needs
So this monitor fits the bill for just about everyone. It’s wide screen, yet practical size leaves you with a ton of options for use
A solo monitor, great crisp picture. Quick response will provide you the perfect HD quality picture for your desktop or added screen to laptop
I added it to my laptop, using a third party stand.. I am able to use it vertical so I can see longer documents and software code.
If you pair this with a two arm mount or even a four arm mount... you can have a very inexpensive elaborate display
The monitor is very light, vesa mount compatible. Long cord on the monitor, two hdmi and one vga connection, so a ton of option

it is sad to say, that in today's world... we can't be too safe.. cameras like this are a necessity.
This one will make a good first camera, or an extension to another system.
The setup is relatively easy, a little interesting at one point with the sound sendup, but other then that pretty straight forward.
One BIG mis on this camera, it runs on the 2.4ghz wifi network. it may require you to get another router, that can be placed closer to your camera to get solid connection. However, you do have an option to hard-wire the camera (ethernet cable). But it doesn't look like it support Power over ethernet (POE). So you would need to run two wires
One BIG gain on this camera, no service plan. The video is stored locally on an SD chip, but can be accessed via the internet.
Picture quality is pretty good, and should serve just about everyone's purpose.
General installation is easy shouldn't take much time or tools.
So for the price, you get great value with this camera, and some sanity and security

Very Solid, Easy to Use
on October 18, 2019
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
So now a days, blenders are used for all sorts of things. Sauces, smoothies, mixed drinks, chopping, and so on.
This blender is smaller then most, which may work perfect for your works space. The larger pitcher, is made of very solid/thick glass. It is a little heavier then most blender pitchers because of that.
The top allows steam and heat to be released while blending, while keeping all the contents in... that is good when you are working with some warm/hot foods.
The base is a very bright brushed finish, looks really stylish on your counter. Very few buttons to figure out, makes it a piece of cake to work.
The BIG bonus is the very large smoothie cup. The same base fits in it, and gives a. BIG mixing surface to work with. Smoothies from fresh fruits, to power mixes... will work perfectly... and it is much larger then one of the other leading bands... So for that power work out, or the replacement lunch... this will work perfect. I would have liked it to come with two, but hopefully that will be an option to buy an extra.
So Pros: Blade is interchange able, relatively quiet to use, and easy to use. Big Smoothie Cup, steam vent
Con: The thick heavy glass, may pose a challenge for some.

There are some very good things about this monitor, but also some downsides.
From a setup point of view, doesn't get any easier. takes about 3 minutes from unpacking to up and running... nothing to it.
It has 2 HDMI inputs, and one classic-VGA port.
The screen is big and bright.
The screen is big and bright.
Now though, for a modern monitor of this size... some let downs
The maximum resolution is 1080p... 1920 x 1080. for some people this is perfect. but for someone thinking of going higher, just isn't going to happen with this.

No native USB-C or Display Port inputs, for MacBooks and other laptops. So you will need an adapter of some sorts.
No audio output, or usb-ports.
The base itself is a little large, but open so you can put stuff on the desk. but there is no vertical adjustment... it is fixed hight.
Also no VESA mounting holes, so you can't add an arm or different bracket to this. So if you need to raise it for your head placement, then you are going to have to put it on a shelf.

Quality, but some quirks
on September 26, 2019
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
Any MacBook owner knows, that you will need some sort of Hub or Dongle for their new MacBook. While USB-C is the newest connection type, it is still taking time to get to all external devices. Also, the newest MacBooks, are void of the commonly available external monitor/projector connections such as HDMI.
We as travlers or office conference room users, need to have a quality hub/dongle to be able to function properly.
This Hub certainly fits that need, but has a few minor quirks for me.
First there is no doubt that this is quality made, it is not a cheap piece of plastic. The main hub, it's cable, and connector are all of high quality no question.
First quirk: The connector to the laptop. I am not sure why it needs BOTH USB-C ports, but it does. Which may cause a problem if future MacBooks change the spacing between the ports, or eliminates or moves them.
Related: The housing around the connectors, exceeds over top edge of the bottom portion of the MacBook. I have a clam-shell case on my MacBook, and while using this adapter, I can NOT leave the lid closed completely. It hits the clam-shell. This is a minor issue, and won't effect most.
Connection wise: There are two replacement USB-C ports on the hub, which take the place of the two that you just connected to on the MacBook. One is labeled as a power-passthrough, which is GREAT to connect your adapter to, so you don't need to connect it to the other side of the Mac-book (saving a port). The other is for Video/4K connections (or other USB-C connections).
Quirk: I wasn't NOT able to successfully connect my Thunderbolt compatible adapter/monitor to that port. When ever I connected it, my monitor would NOT sync properly, and would continue to cycle between connected and not connected. (LG Monitor, connected via a thunderbolt->USB-C adapter). It does however connect properly, when using the HDMI connection. but in my case, I then lose the ability to use the USB connectors on the back of the monitor.
The hard-wire network connection is fantastic for those environments, where WiFi isn't optimal. And should be in everyone's bag. The two USB-3 ports are easily used, and perfectly good addition.
I have not used the SD card slots yet, but anyone with a non-phone based camera.. will appreciate having the two slots right there and available.
At it's price point, it is a good option to purchase right when you purchase your MacBook. 100% of all MacBook users will need a device like this (or a different one that does 1 of the functions in the hub)... Grab it, and have it your bag/drawer, if you don't use it every day like I do.

Will take some time, but will be worth it
on September 23, 2019
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
So, it seems a little odd to put a white pill shaped device on your back... once you have it on... it is a good thing to be there.
So only a few days into using this, and I know it is going make some differences. I am a desk jockey and spend the vast majority of my day at a desk. My desk is not the most optimal positioned as well.
So with this little device, I mentally am making sure that I am taking the time to be up straight, which I can feel in my lower back and shoulders. The device then takes over and yells at me to do it as well.
So the app is pretty easy to use, and straight forward. it walks you through the easy setup, and gets you going with in a few minutes. and you can do your first training session at the same time.
Then as we go in the tracking mode, that is where I think most people will get the benefits. For me personally, the actual vibration of the device, I can barely feel. But what is nice, is it notifies me through my Apple Watch, which is great.
So almost like Apple reminding you to stand up, this device reminds you to sit-up, and is a nice addition.
I haven't yet been able to kill the battery, but I put it on the charger each night.
Pro's: small, lightweight... and adds to the health features of my iPhone/Watch space.
Con's: vibration on the device is sott for me, if it wasn't for the watch integration/notificaiton, I may miss most of notifications.
One big thing I would like to see in a future version... While the USB-C charging is nice, this should really take advantage of Wireless charging... be it with the case, or just directly on a wireless charger... this would make it sooo much easier, just to drop on the charger at the end of the day, and pick it up the next morning

For the serious coffee drinker
on September 11, 2019

from Tinley Park, IL
So if you frequently spend $6+ on a quality coffee or espresso... then consider this unit.
Out of the box it is almost jaw dropping with the shiny metal and rock solid construction. You may end up spending more time looking at it the first time then Actually using it
Easy to assemble. On a couple pieces need to be put in place and add water and you are ready to go. (Do highly recommend a cleaning before using and consuming just to be safe)
Lock and grind your grounds on the left with a full adjustability to pack them in.
Move to the right and select the style of coffee you want and brew. After you do it once or twice it will be a no brained
Steam milk with and included cup, and add it to your beverage
The top of the unit is larger then most to give you a place to put your cup, foaming pitcher, or your favorite additive right there
Easy to use water tank, complete removable for filling and cleaning if necessary
Grinder is not overly loud, but it isn’t silent
So you can get the quality of the fancy multiple-thousand dollar units right in this counter size unit for much less
There is a little bit of a learning curve on this unit. You will probably get frustrated the first time. Step back, try again. Once you know the steps it will make sense

What's great about it: Solid, stunning, quality, expansive

So we all have some sort of beverage we want to keep cold. Soda, water, beer, wine. This will cover it all
The shelves are made out of wood, and look great through the glass door. Even included a shelf for the bottom row, to complete the look
Light on the inside and adjustable temperature at a finger tip
Quiet running. Even standing next to it you barely know it is on
I have not been able to try all combination of beverages to see when it fills. But at 3/4 fill everything is cold in a practical period of time and remains cold
Solid pull rod to open the heavy glass door, no question that is going to open
Beautiful presentation up from with the shine and the glass. Only thing to be aware, while it is sized to do it, you should NOT install this in an enclosed cabinet. The compressor is in the back and by design the heat needs to escape. Putting it in a cabinet will lower its efficient and could cause it to over heat
A bottom lock that is no joke, will keep your beverages secure from everyone

Get off your InkJet!!! Near Perfect for home
on July 16, 2019
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
So... we all have that printer, that we curse at because the ink jams up, or runs out... and all we need to do is print a simple page. Don't by another expensive ink-jet black cartridge, upgrade to this.
Every home, should have a simple Black and White laser printer. This printer, spits out the first page really quick... and can print nearly 40 pages a minute... that is pretty quick. You can get that book report out in seconds as they run out the door, and forgot it.
Cost efficient, as Per Page printed, the cost of toner for a laser printer is a LOT cheaper then inkjet, and they don't dry out. Use it every hour, or just once a month... it will print perfectly each time.
Easy to connect to your computer via USB, or to your home network. The only downside of this printer (about .25 star), is that it doesn't have built in WiFi connectivity. So if you are connecting it to your network, you will need an ethernet cable and a connection to your router.
Crisp black and white print outs, Holds a good amount of paper with the default tray, but HP offers an upgrade to hold 550 pages. (basically an entire standard size package of paper).
On average it is about $100 for the replacement toner cartridge, for the 1,500 page version about $0.15 a page.. BUT for about $225, you can get the HIGH YIELD toner cartridge... that goes for an estimated 10,000 pages (I haven't printed that many yet). That is less then $0.03 a page for the ink... And for most homes, that one cartridge is going to last you well over a year.
Save your InkJet for your family photos or the coversheet of that report. Get a B&W Laser Printer for your daily and quick prints.

Great Value; Almost There
on July 15, 2019
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
So let's just start that this is a full blown 50" 4K UHD, with Dolby support... for under $350... It wasn't more then 2 years ago, that a system like this wasn't barely even available... and if it was you were in multiple thousands of dollars.
Easy to setup, and connect. Have your WiFi credentials ready, as you won't get the full power of the system without an internet connection. Easily mountable, and relatively light for the size of the TV. With the proper bracket, you will have this up and mounted in a very short period of time.
If you are going "cord free" you don't need anything else but a power connection and internet... Just login into the already included apps such as Netflix... and get going and watching. Simple navigation and usage.
To really take it to the next level, connect up to one of the current game systems or a 4K-UHD blu-ray player... and get some KILLER 4K content, the will jaw drop.
The only downside so far, is that the Android aspect that is included... is a tad outdated... at least the apps that are compatible. So since this is software, this can (and should) be updated via a downloaded hopefully shortly. But still having full HDMI support, you can always add your favorite streaming device for additional and expanded support.

Per Samsung's site, it states as 3D Ready.
Which means you just need the other equipment (separate), glasses, Blu-ray player, and material source

Is it worth the Ninja Coffee Bar Thermal Carafe System, Stainless Carafe (CF 097) over the CF091? The CF091 has a glass carafe than can stay heated in the warming plate vs the CF097 that has a thermal carafe. Trying to decide if it's worth the extra $$
That really depends on what you are going to use the Thermal carafe for... if you are going to take it with you, or travel... or take it and put it out on a table... then yah... it would e worth it. But if you are really never going to move the Carafe from the heating pad, except to pour... then no need.
