Some serious suckage here
on December 23, 2019
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
So this is great. Just great
Light and portable, and follows along like a puppy.
Simple to use with the slide on battery pack, and single switch. Once on, packs a serious amount of vacuum power.
We use it to clean our workshop after all the holiday craft making. Instead of lugging the big 4” hose around, this not-so little guy helps us clean up some of the hard to reach spots, or provides a quick reach option for some dust in groves
Only downsides: Doesn’t come with a bristle attachment, and it would be great to have a second battery ready to go

Expand your screen... with light
on December 5, 2019
Posted by: Ebonovic

We all know that a 4K picture is awesome.... Mix in some amazing sound, and that experience get's better. Now, you can get the rest of your environment to tie in, and bring it to another level.
This box will connect between your video source and your TV. VERY easy to connect and setup. It will act as a switcher device between multiple devices. I didn't specifically check that out, as I have an AV receiver that does it for me.
You can connect up to 10 Philips Hue lights... I only connected 3 (because that is all I have right now)... And you are off.
If you can picture watching Blue Planet... Your large amazing TV is showing the depth of the water, and now that water seems to expand the entire room, because all the lights change to shades of blue.
Playing some games on my XBOX, the room and experience just gets that much expansive.
While the power adapter is large, so you can connect other lights with one plug. I would recommend getting a 1ft extension "power strip" saver, because it is a little big.
Sometimes it can get a bit intense on the color changes (especially while playing games). Depending on your size or room, you may need to utilize more lights to get the full effect.
If you want to take your movie, tv, and game experience to another level. this box will help with that.

Good for a basic electric razor or 2nd travel one
on November 25, 2019
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
So having used Norelco shavers for a very long time, was looking to add this one for my travel bag.
The good: It can be used Wet or Dry, Completely cordless (when in use), so can be used in the shower as well as at the sink. Light weight, and had some power to it. Comes with a relatively small charger, and a carrying bag, and a solid cover for the blades.
The not-so-good: I found it to be a little loud while shaving, which when compared to my 9000 series shaver, was a little off-putting. It seemed to grab and cut a little more aggressive, but still provided a close shave with no skin issues.
Overall, it will do what I wanted it to do: Be that shaver for my travel kit, so I can leave the more frequently used (and more higher end) 9000 shaver at home.

Simple, Easy, and Powerful
on November 13, 2019
Posted by: Ebonovic

So if you don't know of AVG as an Anti-virus program, let me fill you in. For the longest time AVG was the absolute BEST... FREE.... anti-virus that you could obtain. It also was pretty much the only anti-virus that was worth anything, on the MAC platform.
So if you want to try out AVG, go ahead... they readily give you the anti-virus piece for free. And once you see that, you will then really want to explore this Ultimate version.
First once you upgrade to the paid, ultimate version... you get access to the other security products.
Let's talk about the interface: Large, no tiny print, and very straight forward to understand. Simple, direct, and clear. Very little chance to mis-understand what it means, or what pressing a button will do.
now, I have not purposely tried to install a virus or Mal-ware on my computer while running this to see if it worked... I trust that it does because I still don't have one on there (verified by other programs that I trust).
The TUNE-UP add on is a great little tool, to help get rid of some of the bloat that ALL our computers get over time. Uninstall procedures of apps, don't always clean everything up. A small little utility you were trying, and foot... bogs down the system. Tune-Up will help you there.
My FAVORITE addition with Ultimate, is the VPN tool. I use this via my iPhone, in order to securely connect back to my region of choice. So if I am traveling for work, but want to appear to another application or device as being in my home area of Chicago, I can do that.
If I am on a public wifi, and want to obscure my connection in case someone is sniffing the connection, I can use this for secure banking or even simply email.
This Ultimate subscription, allows you to install it on 5 different computers and devices... so for most families this works great.

Fantastic; perfect for multiples
on October 25, 2019

from Tinley Park, IL
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

GREAT for the Price
on October 20, 2019
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
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.

Big but not big
on October 6, 2019
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
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.
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.
Also visually, for me... the center seems to come out a little bit, visually. Could be my eyes... but it is a little off for me.

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.

Incorrect info. No 3D
By Leroythedog
I was already to buy this TV- seems to be GREAT price!
BUT - IT DOES NOT HAVE 3D. Luckily, this was pointed out by the salesman. He told me that he had even called Samsung to check, and there is a misprint in the specifications,
If you don't want 3D, this would be great, but it doesn't work for me.

3D Ready
January 28, 2016
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
Glasses are about $20 each.
But the TV is a 3D compatible TV
