Okay Receiver

After years of continuous service my old Onkyo 7.1 decided not to wake up one day. :( I settled on the 5.1 due to price difference between it and the new 7.1 and sadly disappointed as it just doesn't perform as well as my old one. Lacks the "umph" my old one produced while watching high action movies. Probably just fine for someone going from 5.1 to another 5.1. Dropping from 7 to 5 will take some time to adjust to the lower wattage output.

This helped alleviate some clutter on the breakfast bar where we all plug in our electronics to charge. Nice not having to use the bulky 110V power converters plus USB cords. We have 3 short USB cords which work great and it leaves the outlets open so we don't have to unplug a phone to use the toaster! A bit pricey even on sale but worth it to get rid of the tangle of cords.

Being a hunter and trying to hike up into the mountains before daylight he finds these caps to be both warm and useful keeping his hands free for other tasks. I bought him one last season in black and he uses it all the time when he needs to go outdoors after dark. His only complaint is not quite as bright as he'd prefer and added directional aim for lighting could be better.

Kinsa's pediatrician-recommended fast & reliable Smart Stick thermometer. The free app records fevers, symptoms, medication dosages, and other important health data in a time-stamped log. The thermometer takes accurate oral and underarm temperature readings - as well as rectal readings when using as a baby thermometer - and its battery-free design means it never dies when you need it most.

I purchased this as a gift for my niece to use with her toddler since he can't sit still and loves games. The pro amounts to a quick readout and the con is he isn't interested with associated games. Overall a decent thermometer at a decent price. She likes that he doesn't have to sit still for 3 minutes in order to get an accurate read-out.

Good card for the price

I take a large number of digital photos and have used these for several years and have only had 1 fail resulting in loss of images and attribute that loss to exposure to high temps. I normally use the 32's and 64's but purchased this for my sister-in-law to use in her camera. She was delighted since her 4 mb limited the number of photos she could store before having to download and format the card.

I make rice in quantity and frequently as an owner of a pet with grain allergies and this is both fast and efficient saving lots of time and mess over boiling. I can't imagine why I waited so long before buying one. Instead of watching for boil-over messes, keeping an eye on timers I now just measure, set it and forget it for perfect rice every time.

I originally purchased for the grand children but ended up watching with them even though I'd heard the only parts worth watching were in the trailer. I disagree, entertaining with moral lessons.

Featuring an ultrasmall, low-profile design, this SanDisk Ultra Fit SDCZ43-064G-A46 flash drive enables simple portability of your files. The 64GB storage capacity provides ample space to hold your movies, music, photos and more.
 

I have iPad 2 , iPad mini and nesseary adapters . Will this drive function with an iPad ?

You will need to have the USB port (not the charging port) and most likely the USB to USB mini adapter

This HP 27vx monitor features a large 27" HD display with fast response times and a stunning 8,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, so your Web pages, movies and games pop with bright, detailed visuals. HDMI input lets you connect a variety of HD devices.
 

What are the screen's true dimensions?

Hello,
Please tell me the screen's true vertical and horizontal dimensions. Also, is the diagonal dimension a true 27 inches? Thank you kindly.

Respectfully,
Sandra L. Goode
The actual viewing size of the screen is 13" high by 231/2" wide. Quite a nice fit for an average desk with very small frame area. I replaced an older 25" monitor and this 27" actually takes up less space on my desk. Just shy of a full 27"

Does this have a displayport?

Not sure what you mean but it has an HDMI, VGA and DVI input port on the back for various PC inputs. No sound input if you were looking to use it with a DVD player.

Can the monitor be used on a stand

the pictures do not show the back of monitor so not sure if I can desk mount it on a arm
It would only work with its own stand, small metal bracket goes into a slot and tightens with a set screw

Is the screen glossy or matte?

glossy screen and so far good color and detail for working with photo-editing software programs so would venture to say equally fine for gaming
