Plus, users can enjoy comfortable viewing experience while gaming via flicker-less and low dimming display. The design saves space on your desk and lets you place multiple monitors side by side to build a seamless big-screen display.

Clear No Glare Monitor
on July 22, 2023
Posted by: ammcb
Quality monitors are essential for any computer. I use it as a second screen on my laptop and have made it the primary screen. The Acer KA272 met every bit of my expectations. Be picky when selecting a monitor as it impacts your overall experience while using a computer. If you are using a screen smaller that 27”, you will soon find you love the larger size. The resolution is clear, with no flickering, or interference noise. It is soft on the eyes with several elements that can be customized. You are able to adjust the resolution and Acer makes it easy with a joystick-like button. There is nothing more annoying than trying to find the up, down, and select buttons and they make that task all in one. Out of the box, the stand is easy to assemble. It does have VESA mount capability if you have a built-in stand or want to mount it to a wall. It comes with an HDMI cable but also has a VGA connection. There is no speaker or camera on this monitor. At this price point, you should not expect one. Are there better monitors-Yes and they are way more expensive. At this price point, you get everything you want. Bottom line, It’s a great general all-purpose monitor that won’t strain your eyes and gives you a clear crisp view of your computer.

I love this product
on February 10, 2023
Posted by: ammcb
I will start by saying that I have used every high end brand of electric shavers. I have been using a competitor for years but the Norelco changed my opinion on who is best. What I really like is the shaver charges fast, cleans fast, and gives a close shave. Many competitors on the market take a lot of time to clean and are noisy, The Norelco is fast at cleaning and the quietest one I have seen. It cleans fast-in one minute. When shaving, you get a close shave, I can't tell any difference compared to other high end brands. The Norelco shaves much faster is quiet and much gentler. The foil shavers vibrate back and forth and are noisy and clunky. The Norelco is so much smoother and fairly silent. You can adjust the speed of the blades rotate in case your skin is sensitive. The cleaning pod is easy to use and keeps the Norelco clean and smelling fresh. It comes with a case and a dock for the cleaning solution. The one unique trait is the side burn trimmer is separate and your have to take off the shaver head to use. It does not flip up like most other shavers. Nothing is perfect and everything else about this shaver outstanding. After using the Norelco, I believe it is the best on the market.

Perfect software for Photos and Video
on November 18, 2022
Posted by: ammcb
I used photo shop elements over 15 years ago and needed better photo and video editing tools. I installed this on my Mac M! chip computer and the software works perfectly. Many great features to discuss. There are many demos and tutorials to show you how to maximizing each feature. I tried removing the background and applying a new one and it was super easy. It makes fixing flawed photos easy. Editing videos was just as simple. I had a video I needed to splice together as one camera started the recoding and another finished it. When i used the built in computer software, you could tell where the splice occurred bot form an audio and visual perspective. I loaded the two videos, synced and the new audio takes over seamlessly. The video makes it look like you are transitioning angles and you can edit they way it transitions. Once complete, i was able to trim off any overlay and convert to an mp4 quickly. Very impressed. There are tons of preloaded backgrounds, animations and enhancements to choose from. Photos look much better and videos look professional. Im glad I decided to ditch the inadequate preloaded software and upgrate to Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements.

This is no microwave, toaster oven or broiler…it’s a revolutionary new way to cook. Hugely popular in Asia and available in the US for the first time, the Panasonic HomeCHEF 7-in-1 Compact Oven uniquely uses the power of steam and convection cooking together so you can roast, bake, steam, slow cook, air fry and ferment your way to incredible meals, sides and desserts. With combination cooking, steam insures consistently juicy, tender melt-in-your-mouth insides while convection delivers perfectly brown, crispy outsides. What would normally require 2-3 different processes can now be done in 1…plus, the enclosed space means less nutrients escape than with stovetop cooking. The HomeCHEF 7-in-1 is large enough to fit a whole chicken or a dozen muffins, yet small enough to outperform a traditional oven in both accuracy and speed. The icing on the (deliciously baked) cake? With steam you can sanitize everything from utensils to baby bottles, plus prep the inside cavity for easy wipe-and-go cleanup.

Many Great Features to this Oven
on November 11, 2022
Posted by: ammcb
Love the many features on this oven. The steam function is incredible. It has two racks so if you air fry, there is plenty of surface space. Offers convection, slow cooking, and many other modes. Menu's are easy to use. I like that there is no clock on it-too many items have clocks. I like the quick cook features that has pre programed cook setting built in. There is a directory on the top and all you do is enter the item number in and it does the rest. The oven size is perfect, fits under the top cabinets perfectly. Not too big or too small. Easy to move and clean. The oven is well built, very solid. The door has a sturdy feel to it. There is a light inside too so you can see inside the oven. The only problem I have with this oven is it is not level and rocks on my counter top. It's not my counter top as my last one did not rock at all. Other than this small issue, this oven should meet any needs you have. It's packed with features. This oven competes well with the competition. If it wasn't for the wobble, It would be 5 stars.

Good with a few issues
on November 4, 2022
Posted by: ammcb
I really was looking forward to this router. Whether or not you like it will depend and I will explain. Set ups was fairly easy but it took about an hour. Set up directions were clear and easy to follow. You do have to set up each of the three separately and go through the update and set up and then doo the same for the rest. I wish they would allow you to update the firmware for all three at the same time as this process took some time. Once setup was complete, it worked and all the devices on my wifi network connected because I used the same SSID as the last router. I gave this four stars because I am giving Motorola the benefit of the doubt that it will correct my issue. I am unable to change the local network settings. I use a different local IP gateway. it comes with 192.168.2.1 and I use another. Some of my network devices have static ip addressed so if I can't change the local network settings, I will have to set up everything again. I called Motorola and was on hold for 20 minutes. They prompt you to make a selection based on your model but don't have a prompt for Q which is this model. I contacted chat who told me to select advanced network settings and then local network. Local network does not appear on my advanced network settings. They requested screen shots and confirmed I was accurate and will work with engineering to see if there is a remedy. I will not use this router if I can't change the local network settings and it is a deal breaker and will lower my start rating but they are working on it. Fingers Crossed. Other than this glitch, the router works great. Im not a fan of the fabric facing and wonder how it will look over time but that is cosmetic. Speeds were great! and the app interface was easy to use and great.

Sleek and Multi Purpose Wireless Charger
on October 29, 2022
Posted by: ammcb
Sleek and Multi Purpose Wireless Charger allows you to charge your phone and other wireless devices at one time. The stand allows your phone to remain in view which is nice if you use your phone as an alarm clock. You don't have to get up to see your phone which typically would face the ceiling. Now your phone would face you and you can see it with ease while in bed. Also, it allows you use your phone while charging. So why only four stars? While this device is great, it's not perfect. The cord coming from the charger has a USB C end. It does not come with a plug so you have to have a charging plug with a USB C outlet. I do not so I had to connect it to my computer to get it to work. The other thing I didn't like is the magnet is weak. If your phone is in a case, the magnet may not be strong enough to secure the phone. You have to remove it from the case or use the bottom wireless charger defeating the purpose of the charger positioning the phone upright. Outside of these minor things, the charger works perfectly well.

Professional Microphone
on October 15, 2022
Posted by: ammcb
The Razer Seiren V2 Pro microphone is exactly what I was looking for to produce crisp professional sound for my You Tube videos. I use a Mac and this device worked perfectly with it. The built in microphone is OK on the Mac but I was looking for something to give me a professional sound and the Razer Seiren V2 Pro is it. The microphone comes with a usb cable. On the microphone end, it uses USB C and on the end you plug into computer, it has a USB A connection. Additionally the microphone comes with a foam cover to block wind noise. The microphone has a mute button and volume and gain dials. Additionally, there is a jack for earphones. The only down side for me is the USB A connection to the computer. My mac would not recognize it when I plugged it into a dock. Given my mac has no USB A connections, I had to use a USB A to USB C adapter to get this to work. I wish they simply used USB C or provided the adapter. I didn't take any stars away because the product does not claim to have this adapter. Other than that small issue, I like everything else about this microphone. It provides superb sound to any recording you make!

Switch Controller with Classic Feel
on October 8, 2022
Posted by: ammcb
I really like the Nintendo Switch but the small controllers are what I have struggled to acclimate to. The MGC Switchplate Wireless Nintendo Switch Controller gives you a classic feel. It comes with an alternate top plate so you can switch from black and white color. It comes with a charging cable as well so you don't have to struggle to find one or need a spare. My daughter prefers this controller when using the switch on a TV. You can still use the smaller ones if you prefer a compact game on the go and easily witch to this controller while playing on a TV. I actually prefer this controller over the smaller ones in both applications. The controller charges quickly and is easy to pair with the Nintendo Switch game console. It feels more sturdy and gives you the feel you can be more aggressive with the controller when playing a game. The controller has. vibrating features to give you feedback during game play. I would recommend this MGC controller if you are thinking of adding more controllers to your switch.

Best Speaker Phone!
on September 22, 2022
Posted by: ammcb
I have searched for a long time to find a speaker phone to connect with my iPhone to use for work. All others had a glitchy delay with the blue tooth. The Poly Sync 20 connects to your computer via a USB cable or Blue Tooth. Easy to connect and link with phones. The blue tooth connectivity went extremely well and was easy. I connected it to my computer and did a team’s call and connectivity was as simple as plugging it in my laptop and I was up and running. It offers USB-A and comes with a USB-A to USB-C adapter. Even comes with a case in the event you want to take this with you on the go. There is another USB port on it so you can charge your phone while you use it. There is an apk for your phone and you can make customizations. The Poly Sync 20 has a battery pack so it can be charged and used on the go. As I stated before, I have owned many other devices like this before and they always disappointed. The Poly Sync 20 met every expectation, voice quality was great and there was no lag when you start speaking.

Great Dock
on September 15, 2022
Posted by: ammcb
Really love this 10 in 1 USB-C Hub for my MacBook Pro. When you connect it, you immediately get a drive with software to install. Once installed, everything worked! Two HDMI ports allow you to connect two additional independent screens to your Mac. Additionally, there is an ethernet port, 2 USB-A ports, a USB-C port, a SD and micro SD card slot, and an audio port. There is an additional USB-C port that you can plug your charger into so your computer charges when plugged into the hub. Docking and undocking uses just one USB connection and is simple and easy. Very small and compact. It does not come with a charger but your USB-C charger will plug in. I had no issues with this and the screen immediately began working. The two screen you can add are in 4K with outstanding resolution. When I first Connected, the software and drivers automatically updated making startup very simple. If you have a mac where multiple displays can be cumbersome to add, this is a great product to ensure you get multiple displays. Hubs have improved a lot over the past few years and this was worth the upgrade.

what do I need to use my 23-inch monitor with my laptop

If you lap top has a monitor output, you can use a monitor cable. If the monitor has an HDMI input and your laptop has an HDMI output, you can connect that way. I use a device called Toshiba Dynadock. It connects to your computer via a USB cable and has monitor and HDMI outputs, USB outputs, and a Ethernet jack. You plug all of your devices into it so that there is only one cable to plug or unplug into your laptop when you take it on the go.

Need the mount (table) for Magnavox LD-4065 (40"TV)

I am looking for a TABLE (not Wall) mount for a Magnavox LD-4065 (40" TV). Somewhere along the line we lost the actual table mount for this TV, and would like to just have it freestanding.
My guess is you have two option. 1) contact Magnavox or a supplier and order a new table mount. or 2) mount it to the wall at the height of the table so it appears to be on a mount.. I personally would mount it to the wall if you can. It is safer and will never fall of the table. You can easily move the table to vacuum and the TV will stay in place.
