Very good switch for the money!

It would be perfect if only it switched HDMI. Despite the fact that it only handles VGA and USB; this works great for me because I use it to switch USB keyboard & mouse with the push of a button. My flat panel has two HDMI inputs, so I can view either PC by changing inputs.

I only buy HP ink for my HP printers and I never have any trouble with clogged heads, etc., like I did with cheaper brands.

Although admittedly not for everyone, this outstanding film honors the legacy of the original while telling it's own story. Very well done! The Blu-Ray is beautiful and the sound is awesome.

This is another win for Onkyo. It is packed with future-proofing features, is very easy to set up and it sounds great! I just wish that it had a DB9 port so I could control it with my Crestron (via RS-232) and have online access at the same time.

If someone you know is stuck with limited funds and a PC using a VGA card and their monitor is a few feet away, then this is a inexpensive, good solution.

As good as (or better than) the mini-series

Posted by: Gman

Verified Purchase:Yes
I read the book when it was first published many years ago, so my memory may be a bit rusty, but this version seems to be closer to the first half of King's horrific story than the TV movie. I hope the movie of the second half will be released sooner than later because the story is incomplete as depicted here. That said; I was very impressed with everybody and everything else involved with it! THE BLU-RAY DOES NOT DISAPPOINT in any way and I consider it to be of demo / reference quality.

There are two HP printers and two Epsons on my home LAN and I NEVER buy third party or "refilled" ink cartridges for them. Years ago I attempted various ways to avoid paying for expensive HP and Epson ink and ended up with ruined, useless "Boat Anchors".

Now you can put together a powerful, high-speed network on a small scale. NETGEAR's GS116 Copper Gigabit Ethernet Switch lets you build a system that can move even very large files across your network instantly - up to 2000Mbps on each port. The standards-based GS116 helps to protect customers' existing and future network infrastructure investments by painlessly integrating other 10, 100, 1000 devices as well as honoring layer 2 802.1p priority tags. Packed with ease-of-use features, this adaptable switch supports either PC or Macintosh operating systems. The compact size makes it ideal for home, small office, workgroups, departments and conference room environments. Its durable metal case has no fan for silent operation.

Excellent Ethernet Switch At A Great Price

Verified Purchase:Yes
My home LAN had grown to the point that I added a second CISCO 8 port Gigabit switch; this worked well for years but a couple months ago data transfer speed began to vary and became generally slower. I replaced the old CISCO switches with this NETGEAR unit and... WOW! What a difference! My LAN has never been faster and I gained a few ports in the process. I generally buy CISCO "Managed" switches for professional applications but this NETGEAR is a terrific deal if VLANs, etc. are not needed.

TERRIFICALLY WEIRD & ACTING TOUR de FORCE
on April 29, 2017
Posted by: Gman
from DC area
Verified Purchase:Yes
"SIXTH SENSE" and "SIGNS" are still my favorite M. Night Shyamalan movies but this one is a close 3rd. The fascinating story is brilliantly executed but it would not resonate as well without James McAvoy's incredibly nuanced acting. Not since Jeremy Irons "twins" in "DEAD RINGERS" have I been so impressed with an actor's ability to convincingly play multiple personalities. The rest of the cast (particularly Anya Taylor-Joy) are awesome, as well. The very nice image is displayed at 2.40:1 and very smooth 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio adds to the overall presentation.

Would be able to use this switch with a MacBook and a Windows 10 computer to a single monitor?

I GUESS that will work. NO PROMISES, but I cannot think of a reason it would not function that way.

Does the VGA port have to be in use? I only wish to control 1 keyboard, one mouse for two computers.

That is precisely how I use it. I switch HDMI locally at the monitor.. It works great for me!

I want to set this up where one USB cable comes from the computer to the Switch. Then one coming from another (Microscope). When I switch it to the other port it cuts power to the microscope.

My GUESS is that it will work for you. NO PROMISES, THOUGH.

Cable # NS-PV10509 listing states that the cable will work with monitors less than 17" . Will it work on larger monitors like from computer to TV . Thanks

It should work with any display device that has a VGA (HD-15) connector. Depending on image size and ambient electrical interference you may see minor artifacts but there are none visible in the system using the item I purchased.

Store important games, videos, music, and more on this Western Digital Blue series hard drive. Its 2.5-inch form factor makes it suitable for use in laptops or notebooks. This 1TB Western Digital Blue series hard drive runs at 5400 rpm for decreased heat and power consumption.
 

Does this internal hard drive fit for Dell XPS15 L521X ?

Almost certainly. According to the XPS15 L521X Owner's Manual downloaded from Dell's website: a SATA 2.5" HDD is specified or a 2.5" SATA SSD (Solid State Drive) may may be installed instead.

Is this a bare drive?

Yes. Nothing else is included (or necessary if you are simply replacing a existing HDD).

Connect up to 4 USB 2.0 devices to your computer through a single port with this Insignia™ NS-PCH5421 hub, which features 4 USB ports that support data transfer rates up to 480 Mbps for speedy uploads and downloads.
 

How would I wire two windows PC's to one printer?

I use a small networked "Print Server" like a (wireless) TP-LINK TL-WPS510U or a (wired) D-Link DP-301U.

This Dynex™ DX-10MC cable features charge-and-sync capability, allowing you to power and transfer media stored on your micro USB-enabled device. The 3' cable length gives flexible placement options.
 

Does this cable charge an lg g2 or g3 fast or slow? Some cables charge slow even with a fast charger.

I don't use them to charge anything BUT they provide real-time (no latency) USB keyboard & mouse from ten (10) computers that are located more than one hundred (100) feet away and converted to / from IP over CAT6 wire. My guess is that they are fast enough for a charger...
