Nice Design and Works Flawlessly
on December 16, 2024
Posted by: RalphHenry
Simplisafe lived up to their name as far as a simple installation and simple configuration/setup. I did find a few items in the instructions that could be improved, however the device installed on my door in just about 5 minutes, and works perfectly.
This package includes a very sturdy lock that goes on the inside of the door and a keypad that is installed outside on the door itself on a wall or door molding. You also receive screws and anchors plus 3M sticking tape. An important supplied item is a small about 1 inch tool that is used to remove the back of the pin pad to access the batteries and also to pull apart the keypad if you want to install the base using screws instead of just the sticky tape. This tool is also used to uninstall the inside lock portion if needed. So don't lose it.
The instructions said there was a piece of tape to hold the outside lock part on the door during the install but this tape was missing. However, any ''painters tape' will do. Before you remove the inside thumb-turn, you do need to secure the outside key-side of your existing door lock. Note two things, installing this new electronic lock utilizes your existing outer side of your lock and therefore your existing key will still work – this is a great design point.
You can follow instructions on the app or by using the included install guide. Note in Step 4 of the guide it provides a misleading installation step. It shows the ‘wing latches’ being removed. You only slide them out and do not remove the set screws. Just loosen the set screws and leave the ‘wing latches' installed but moved away from the mounting plate. The mounting plate is then removed, and installed in place of your thumb turn latch.. Also I’d suggest that in Step 4 it could say you use a 1/16” Allen wrench to loosen the set screws. You will need to slide the ‘wing latches’ back once you have installed the plate on your door to secure it on the door. The other area which is misleading is that the instructions indicate that if the interior part doesn’t fit flush, then you may have bent the plate. While this is true, they should also indicate that if you installed the plate reversed, then there will also be a gap which is most likely your actual problem.
Using the app to set the lock up, there is another mistake in that the install finishes without giving you the opportunity to set up one or more additional pins to unlock using the keypad. It just says done. I had to look up on the internet how to add a pin.
I’m being a little picky, but there is a note attached on the interior ‘battery compartment lid’ that says slide right to remove. But it is in black lettering on a black background which makes it almost impossible to read the small print.
Although I noted some small install improvements; this unit is very well designed and solid and the install process is excellent in that the install can be done in only a few minutes if you have some experience. Also utilizing the app, it is a very easy process to configure the lock.
This lock integrates conveniently with a SimpliSafe Security system which I have; it is very nice to have everything in one app. I would highly recommend this very nice electronic smart lock.
I would recommend this to a friend!

High Quality Materials, Great Functionality
on November 20, 2024
Posted by: RalphHenry
This is the kind of headset I need when I’m driving and also when I’m at my desk at home which sits next to a loud air conditioner just 2 feet away outside a window. I can say with certainty that the noise cancelling in loud environments works great and could be a must have for others who have my situations.
Just to be sure, this headset is not for listening to music if you want a perfect sound. It is intended for helping you be hands free especially in louder environments and also where you want one ear free to be aware of your surroundings which could be traffic or a baby crying.
The unit is a very well-designed device with padding just where you need it. The headband even has very thick pads to make my half-bald head feel comfy too – perfect; and a tip of the cap to the BlueParrott engineers for that extra soft padding. The cushioned earcup is soft and breathes – no sweat. There is a foam earcup included if you want to switch to that. I tried both but the leatherette cushion hit the sweet spot for me. The design allows use on either ear, you just swing the mic around 180 degrees to switch ears. You also get a very handy 'cigarette lighter plug with a USB port' for charging.
The mic has a very smoothly adjusting boom to get your best performance. There is a mic mute button (very important) which utilizes the Parrott button which is a multi-functional button. You will want to download the BlueParrott app for various settings. The voice commands also check things like battery level and pairing so you can ensure you know your headset status. It does have 24 hours talk-time and 400 hours standby. The app also gives you links to Youtube tips, the BlueParrott site and more. The app also has a customer support phone number if you need help – nicely done by the BlueParrot people on the support side.
The hands-free ability of the headset is extremely important in Arizona where I live. The troopers are keen to catch you if they spot you using your fingers on a cell phone screen. Can’t argue with that law, it keeps everyone safer; so just get this device to steer clear of the smokies (pun intended).
You can set the unit up the way you need. You can use third party apps for push to talk, there are lots of them. But the key is this unit allows you to set the Parrott button to interact with whichever app you installed – wow.
The controls on the side of the earpad are simple by design. I think this headset is designed to definitely make your environment safer when using it on the road. I highly recommend this headset for travelers of all sorts.

Great Cleaning Job on Solid Surface Floors
on November 16, 2024
Posted by: RalphHenry
The Shark HydroDuo delivers the goods on those cleaning jobs that I have had some troubles with before this amazing machine. It is easy to use and clean. Its design is the key to how well it cleans plus how easy it is to clean-up after you are done attacking the debris.
My house is a new build and it is 80% porcelain tile and 20% carpet. The tile flooring had been my problem with water spots around sinks (I have 3 bathrooms plus the kitchen). The other bad area was coming in through the 8 foot sliding door from the backyard. One way or another little drops of water find their way to the floor and then dry up leaving those small outline spots. Also there was a kind of soft fuzz in the corners of every room that actually I didn’t quite see before this HydroDuo. The area in front of the refrigerator always seems to catch some spots of soda or mustard or ketchup and these get cleaned up too. The claim that the on-board light makes it easier to see the areas to clean is absolutely true. Also try this: Turn the lights off in the bathroom for example and run the HydroDuo, the light will make the debris easier to see than with the room light on – wow.
I found out very quickly how to hit the button to spray the solution in an optimal way. I ended up using 1/3 of the tank to do my cleaning of the entire tile floor. I did fully charge the unit and I ended up with 2/3 charge left when I finished.
The floors were sparkling and when I cleaned up the device I could see why it worked so well. There is a dust bin as well as a roller. The roller is the key. It is made of some microfiber material but also has many soft and tiny bristles integrated into the roller microfiber material. These bristles added the cleaning oomph needed that I have not seen in any other product. They are described as ‘gentle scrubbing bristles’. They did not harm my tile floor in any way. This device is better for wet or dry cleaning of solid surface floors, not carpet. The solution that came with the unit is a cleaner and also it provides a nice smell so that when done, my whole house had a fresh scent.
I utilized the instruction guide on my first cleaning job. The guide will show you how to up the machine, charge it till the three lights are on, use the machine and ultimately to clean it up. Nicely written guide.
The designers deserve a tip of the cap not just for a well designed machine, but also for making cleanup so simple. Following the guide, I had the machine looking like new in about 3 minutes. Note the parts are not dishwasher safe, so be careful on that point; you also are advised not to put the roller into a washing machine. The material on the roller only needed a good rinse in the sink to give up the accumulated debris. You also are provided a tool that helps squeeze water off the roller to help it to dry faster.
I would give this HydraDuo ten stars if I could. It does come with a charging base-dock with brushroll and cleaning tool holders. It has a 3-year parts and labor warranty - great. I highly recommend it for your go-to cleaner for solid surface floors.

Beautiful Light Effects, Nice Sound, Dual Wireless
on November 12, 2024
Posted by: RalphHenry
This new headset from Razer is top quality. The quality starts with the solid physical build relative to materials and design. The headset is very lightweight. The adjustable features work very smoothly, which I have found is something that is sometimes overlooked in many other headsets. The adjustable headband allowed me to dial in the perfect fit – tip of the cap to the Razer engineers for a great physical/ergonomic design of these headphones.
The device came in perfect condition, the packing was actually above and beyond outstanding for those who want to be sure the device is received in pristine condition both electronically and physically (and I’m one of those).
One exception in the quality is that the User guide with silver ink on black paper was a terrible choice, very hard to almost impossible to read. May look snappy but a bad choice by the Razer team in this area, especially for such an otherwise outstanding device.
The RGB color 6-zone light-effects for the earcups were amazing. The color arrays are very eye-catching; I liked the extra bling. You should download the Synapse 4/Chroma Studio (yes it up to release 4 now), to customize lighting; and especially use the equalizer. There are other features like sleep settings too. The 40 mm speaker drivers are great but I found it necessary to smooth out the audio to my preferences for the best sound effects that suited me; this is of course a personal choice. The point is I think you must have the application installed so you can customize the sound. There are audio settings for gaming, movies or music via a button on the headset too - nice.
The dual wireless is a very useful feature with Bluetooth and the 2.4GHz super-fast dongle connection. Remember you need to hit the ‘Smartswitch Dual Wireless’ button on the headset twice to connect with the dongle; I forgot, so this messed me up for a couple minutes; just a tip, ‘nuff said on that. This headset has a great rechargeable battery life of up to 70-Hours, so that is excellent. 
I thought the microphone audio was fine, it utilizes the Cardioid technology so that is a big plus for clarity. This mic is also noise reducing which I found to be effective, I tested via a zoom meeting with this mic and another mic and I preferred this one that came with the Razer Barracuda.
The earcups were super soft and anti-sweat – very breathable. I wore them for 3 hours straight as a first test and had no discomfort (and I wear glasses).
The quality of the audio was wonderful. I liked the mix of bass and midrange and treble that these headphones could produce when adjusted via the equalizer.
I highly recommend this outstanding mid-price headset for gaming, movies, and music. I especially liked the very soft earcups as my ears are sensitive. Nice job by the Razer engineering team.

AI Productivity Capability & Wonderful OLED Screen
on November 11, 2024
Posted by: RalphHenry
This laptop is a marvel. Indeed it can upgrade you into the newest world of AI enhanced processing. Here’s some insights as far as its Intel Ultra processor. It does have openGL for enhanced creation of 2D and 3D images and a lot more – basically a programmer can talk to the GPU. The Ultras have a smaller physical footprint which means less power needs and more compact designs. Yes, these chips are fast. So the net is you are getting the latest technology in this small and thin beast. The OLED screen is heaven, it is gorgeous and you will see the difference easily between this screen and the earlier technologies. I ran a color generator side by side on two laptops and the images and the colors ‘burst out’ on the OLED screen as much brighter and more refined – wow, great for gamers and designers too.
This laptop has a dedicated Copilot key. It can operate in the 40 TOPS range ( Trillions of Operations per Second), which will let this small laptop handle some of the newest AI productivity algorithms. I have had dozens of laptops but this ASUS unit has given me access to a much broader use of AI. A brief summary of what this means is that you can get AI assists and use new apps when writing a document, designing a presentation, writing emails, you can actually search inside your own notes from class, you can even generate 'images' from your own input. The point here is these capabilities are all optimized within the specifications of this laptop which provides the ability to utilize computer processing in the most advanced ways today – tip of the cap to the ASUS engineers for moving forward in a leap. Now I can take advantage of programs that can take say podcasts or any online videos, PDF’s, news articles, even blogs and more information then integrate all this stuff into a knowledge base for me – nice.
This laptop is under three pounds. It has backlit keys, the feel of the keys is very precise and comfortable; I'd say for me the keyboard is optimal. It has super-fast WiFi. ASUS tossed in Intel ARC Graphics which can optimize your gaming, content creation and more. Plus the audio is a blast with Harmon Kardon technology and provides the best speaker output I have ever heard in a laptop - wonderful. The shutdown and IPL for this laptop only takes a few seconds, another upgrade for me.
I highly recommend this laptop for its price-performance, technology, lower weight and small form factor. It has outstanding design points. Now I have learned more of the AI productivity world with a laptop that is helping me.

Innovative, Works Perfectly, Very Useful
on November 10, 2024
Posted by: RalphHenry
This is a very useful dual camera. Lorex provides high quality solid devices that always work correctly and intuitively., I have other Lorex cameras as well, but this little guy is different. This camera has a lower camera and an upper camera that can pan and tilt via a mechanical movement.

I already had the Lorex app installed. I opened the app and plugged the camera in, then pointed my cell phone at the QR code on the camera. The camera was instantly recognized and the app led me through the complete install. You will only see 2.4 GHz networks to connect to. Once connected and you name the upper and lower cameras (and also give the device a name), you will be all set up in just a few minutes. This camera comes with the USB connector cable and the 120 volt adapter plug. It also includes screws and anchors if you want to attach the camera to a wall. However, I preferred to just sit the camera on a shelf since the camera has a flat bottom and this install gives you some portability if needed.
The camera alerted me that a firmware update was available. The firmware update downloaded in a few minutes and installed perfectly. Many times, firmware updates for cameras, key entry locks and other small appliances will require several attempts to complete successfully. Lorex updates are solid and complete without any hiccups. I give the engineers at Lorex a tip of the cap for putting together great hardware and software.
The displays on my phone of the camera videos are crystal clear. You can zoom and pan with your fingers on the cell phone screen. The upper camera can pan and tilt via a ‘joystick’ on the cell phone screen that works smoothly. You can use a view where one camera’s display is a small thumbnail inside the other camera’s display and switch them; or you can elect to see both cameras separately on your cell phone, which I prefer. The many features include auto-tracking, cloud storage (optional), a microphone with a call button to talk and speak, night view, 360-degree view, local storage via a micro SD card (that is included) and more. The camera also sends an alert if it recognizes a person/pet in the view – nice.
My house is one story about 60 feet long and 30 feet wide. I had the camera at one diagonal and stood with my phone at the other diagonal and could operate the pan/tilt feature as well as see the videos very clearly – great. In fact I could view and operate the dual cameras from my backyard, so the WiFi connectivity of the camera is super.
I am enjoying this device with the dual camera design. It is fun and helpful to keep track of pets or just keep an eye on your computer room for example. I would highly recommend this innovative, very functional and well-designed little wonder.

Easy Clean, Cooks Great and Nice Controls
on November 1, 2024
Posted by: RalphHenry
This new large air fryer from Bella turned out to be a speedier cooker than I expected. Because it is very large, I thought it might be slower, but it was as fast as smaller units.. When I chose to cook just two Italian sausage links as my first use, I was surprised that it cooked them perfectly and quickly. I then tried two sausage links in a smaller air fryer; it took more time. So that was a pleasant surprise. Tip of the cap to the Bella engineers who balanced the size and power perfectly to preheat quickly and cook efficiently.
Doing cleanup I noticed that the entire unit is non-stick and cleaned easily. Bella is using a fantastic ceramic coating. Also, since it round, there is no place for food to hide in corners during cleanup. The crisping tray which fit snugly in the interior was easy to clean as it is non-stick as well. The crisping tray has 4 nice bumpers that make sure it fits right and sits off the bottom. I did burn some hamburgers in the unit (my fault), but no sticking whatsoever, cleaned up with a paper towel - wow.
I checked out the 10 presets and realized these presets covered about 80% of what I would use the unit for. Of course you don't need to use the presets but I think you will find that they are indispensable and well thought out - another tip of the cap to the design engineers at Bella. The display screen is easy to read, no tiny symbols or small letters, also well done by the designers especially for older eyes.
There is a convenient handle in the back so that when you have a large item like a 5 pound chicken, which I cooked; you can easily lift this unit using the front handle and the handy back handle. This is the only time I've seen this back handle feature - very nice.
The user guide is well written and clear. Although the guide covered many types of food to cook and how to utilize the presets, I think a larger recipe booklet would be a nice touch to add since this cooker is big enough for some dandy recipes.
This unit has an excellent 2 year warranty not just 90 days. I was impressed by the sturdy build and just plain functional and easy to use design. I would highly recommend this air fryer for large and small meals.

Great Sound, Lightweight and Very Soft Earpads
on November 1, 2024
Posted by: RalphHenry
These headphones were heaven for me. They are very light so that is better for me, this lighter weight is something I look for to ensure they will be comfortable for several hours.
Another plus is how soft the ear pads are. I was able to wear my glasses for over 4 hours and no pain on my temples - great.
There is a microphone in this headset, this is important for me since I need them for Zoom meetings. I didn't need a microphone boom which I expect reduced the weight, which is a great trade-off for me. 
I felt the construction was solid and I do enjoy the wireless capability and I enjoyed over 35 hours on a charge.They came with both a charging cable and a 4-foot 3.5 mm cable with one end straight and the other 90 degrees. Very nice to have the backup in case I run out of charge, I can just plug in the wired connection. I did use the JVC app for controls and also I used noise cancelling 100% of the time.
Pairing was very easy. All functions worked perfectly as designed including the noise cancelling which was very effective. Tip of the cap to the JVC engineers, they hit all the marks on these exceptional headphones. They are now my go to headset. I would highly recommend these lightweight and great sounding headphones.

Very Happy with My Little Espresso Making Wonder
on October 23, 2024
Posted by: RalphHenry
This espresso maker is a little wonder. It is designed for producing your espresso shot with simplicity in mind. Basically, you have one button and pressing this button will cause the machine to figure out which size nespresso pod you had inserted and it will adjust the amount of water used to match this cup size. When you next open the machine, via a mechanical action the pod will be dropped into a collection bin on the side. That’s it. It is a little heavy which is good since that allows the machine to get the pressure up as needed. Since it is smaller, it is easy for my older hands to handle its weight easily.
You will need to ensure the machine ‘internals’ are clean when you first get it. A very well written quick start guide will show you how to do this and also brew your first cup. The guide even has a QR code that will take you to a video to show you the rinsing process. Suffice to say you top off the freshwater canister and push the top (and only) button 3 times. The Nespresso folks even include an 800 number to call for help and a website link in the quick start guide. Tip of the cap to the Nespresso designers for a product that hit my sweet spot for functionality, taste and ease of use.
A more complete manual also includes detailed instructions for descaling. This manual has more helpful QR codes for linking to other videos and tutorials. When I popped out to their website I found a super well-designed website with easy navigation to find more info on descaling as well as their other products. You can create an account and order accessories and coffee. This site also explained the various pod colors. This was helpful since my machine came with an assortment of pods of different colored pods and sizes. Another pleasant surprise for me (since I did not previously know of the Nespresso type pods) is that all the grocery stores carried the Nespresso pods – nice. But do take advantage of their site to quickly understand the details on the different types of coffee pods available.
Cleaning the machine is a breeze. Don’t forget to empty the pod bin when needed. By the way I like lots of sweetener in my espresso so I put the sweetener in the cup before it is filled with delicious and hot espresso by this great little machine. The crema is likewise perfect. I highly recommend this machine which has me doing about 3 shots daily because it is so tasty and also so super simple to make the hot espresso shots.

Small and Super Speedy
on October 13, 2024
Posted by: RalphHenry
This nice little 2 TB drive has multiple uses. Many of the newer laptops come with this type of SSD. You can use various brands of cloning software and easily upgrade the size and speed of your current drive by moving your operating system, Apps and data to this drive. This is a Gen4 (fastest) version of this type of SSD.
A little research will show you that a PCIe Gen 4NVMe SSD (which is the latest) is significantly faster than other SSDs. It has much higher data transfer speeds relative to older SSD technologies. It is about twice as fast as the Gen3 technology.
I did find the shipping was very protective of the drive and indeed it was in perfect shape when I received. It’s built rather solid as is necessary, Crucial has produced a high-quality product with this little but very high-capacity storage device. Based on the specifications, it is top rate. I tried using this speedy little marvel in two ways. First to insert into one of my laptops that had the interface for the NVMe drives. It was very much faster for everything including games, spreadsheets, photo shopping and especially CAD/CAM work was visibly faster – like amazing speed. No worries about cloning a drive anymore. At one time it was more of a tedious task that sometimes failed. Now the software is so refined that it is simple. The removal and insertion of the new drive into the laptop is very easy. Your main research will be just to check how to open the laptop if it does not have the convenient screw-together method. Go for it, you will be ecstatic with the results of putting in this much faster device. You might need to get a NVMe external USB enclosure to make it easy to format the new SSD. See next paragraphs for some detail on that.
I also wanted to use this type of speedy drive as an external USB drive, so I bought a second one. I also purchased an Insignia enclosure from Best Buy and proceeded to insert this 2 TB drive into the enclosure. The process is very simple and as long as you have the right enclosure it is a quick process. It is not quite plug-and-play, since you will have to format the drive (same as you may have already done to get it ready to clone).
Setting up the external drive is reasonably straightforward. But you will have to format the drive on first usage. When inserted into a USB port (after you put it in the aforementioned enclosure) the Windows OS will see the drive but you will need to format it using Windows ‘Disk Manager’. Recall you just right-click on the Windows logo in the lower left of your screen and you can see Disk Management and you select it. Inside Disk Management you will assign this device a drive letter and then format it in a few clicks. Now you have a small but high capacity and very speedy external drive for your backups or to use to move content between computers.
I would highly recommend this Crucial NVMe drive. You can clone your OS (and Apps/Data) data with it or you can create a very capable external USB drive. In either case, you will enjoy super-fast data reads and writes.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Stream instant content easily with this LG BP550 Blu-ray player. To build a complete 3D home theater system, we recommend you purchase a 3D TV, 3D glasses designed for the TV, high-speed HDMI cable and an A/V receiver that is compatible with 3D products.

Great Blu-Ray DVD Player for the money
By JulieAS
After buying this product, I am both pleased yet a little disappointed! I needed another player to replace my 5 year old Sony 3-D player (also bought at BB) because it was no longer compatible with YouTube. Since my TV is an LG, I decided to buy an LG player.
The LG BP550 is smaller than my older Sony (another reason I chose it) and has fewer apps but I really didn't care about that as long as YouTube worked and that it also had Netflix and HuluPlus apps. Hooking it up and installing it was quick and easy and completing the system update was also a breeze! Already on sale, I saw it was also available as an Open-Box item so I thought I could save even more buying it at that option...NOT!
Advertised as 'Open-Box Excellent Condition' I ordered it on May 13th and it arrived on the 15th - without the remote! Maybe I shouldn't have assumed that an item labeled as "Returned, used as display model in store, or opened due to packaging damage but remains in like-new condition" meant or means that all accessories, cables, manuals, remotes, etc. are included.
Fortunately, my TV remote was able to do some of the basic stuff for installing and some playback features but that's it. So I make a call to BB and learn that the 4-yr Protection Plan I paid for would not cover this missing remote and was then advised to call LG for a 'free' replacement.
Customer service at LG then directed me to call their authorized parts dealer for my time zone. Of course, they were closed on Saturday and Sunday!
I called the parts dealer today (18th) and was told to contact the retailer since I'd "recently purchased the item and it should be returnable/replaceable under warranty". I explained that I had been informed that it was not and that I was told to call them by both BB and LG!
Subsequently, I was given the part number and price for a replacement remote!
Well it looks as if buying Open-Box didn't save me much, if anything, after all since the replacement remote has to be paid for out of my pocket!
I may be better off returning this player and buying a NEW one instead!
However, I must say that I do like the player for what features I have been able to access while using my TV remote! I look forward to obtaining the full benefits and features when using the actual remote control for the BP550!
Remote Replacement
May 28, 2015
It's not ideal but if you are missing a remote and/or lose or break it, you can easily download a smartphone app to run it. You could also program a multi device remote like the Harmony 650 which I did. So nowadays a missing remote is not a show stopper but I agree it should have not been missing.

Great box - poor fonts
By Jasonrn
I purchased this with great excitement. I mostly do everyday things, with an evergrowing photo collection. I bought Adobe creative cloud and was ready to go. Fired it up and was shocked at how bad the text looks. I have tried many different settings. I don't know if it is a scaling thing? I love everything else about the unit. Photos look great. I dont game.
The text issue is varies. Some apps, it looks fine... others - terrible. Also, some apps don't scale well at all on the 4K screen.
May return the unit and get a laptop I can plug a second monitor in for my photo work.
Fix for fonts didn't install
November 3, 2015
The expert pointed to a download and it did not install. I'm glad since I think you just need to go to settings and find the 'cleartype text' setting and run through it to make fonts great. Also I see many of the apps will fix drivers and so forth so there is a learning curve now to see how to run these machines.

Highest Quality and Top Features
By RalphHenry from Raleigh, NC
This AIO has superior resolution to others. Some reviews spoke about a text problem, however you can improve the text via going to settings, display, advanced and 'cleartype text' and follow the steps. Also has 3D display capability which is good for future needs for me. Sound is nice with Jensen speakers. Touch screen is great. WIFI is super and has both 2.4 and 5 GHz ranges with Wireless AC. Very quiet fan. Lenovo support has regressed but is do-able I asked a simple question and the tech had no idea, also the website seems broken in the support area; glad I got Geek Squad. But this AIO is one great machine. price is very reasonable for what you get. Love it.
Tips For Better Text on AIO 700
November 4, 2015
I've played with the font's and you may also want to scale text or make it bold for example if you use Windows Live (you can do that within Display Settings). The other tip is that the text is very clear but small so you may find that enlarging text by hitting Ctrl and + (together) once or twice will make some things easier to read. You hit Ctrl and - together to reduce. I didn't use those commands as often on other machines, but it is beautiful to use at times on this machine. By the way videos are wonderful if you use something like Amazon Prime video etc WOW

Lenovo Fix for AIO 700 24ISH
November 5, 2015
Jason, I did think ClearType helped a little but the scaling and putting 'bold' on helped more. I did see the fix that Lenovo posted. First I flashed the BIOS which they also posted as of 9/10/15. However when I tried their special fix for the font scaling it is an .rar file and I had to load WinZip (free version for now) but it did unpack it. However I never saw it run successfully as it always returned an error code. I am going to call Lenovo on that but the text looks pretty good so maybe it actually ran. I'll post an update on that. By the way the support at Lenovo is abysmal.

Disappointed
By Brandon
It worked for a few hours right out of the box. Then I noticed the screen flashing and the graphics cards crashing. After a reset it freezes after 5 minutes of use. Not sure if it's the pc itself or driver issues with Windows 10, either way it's not worth the trouble. If they can fix these issues then it is absolutely worth the price.
Try Driver Updates & Flash BIOS
November 5, 2015
If you still have it and if it will stay up long enough, I'd say go to Lenovo's web site and download the newest BIOS, it's easy to update BIOS now. Then go into Device Manager and update both Display drivers. If you bought an open box, I'd also try to reload the whole machine to the factory settings (or BestBuy should do that for you). But if you go to the apps, the app called Lenovo Rescue System will do it for you pretty easily. Then do the stuff I mentioned above.

Checked on Font Scaling Fix
November 5, 2015
I couldn't get the download from Lenovo's website to install. I downloaded and unpacked the fix, but it returned an error code when I ran it. I spent 40 minutes with Lenovo 1st and 2nd level support. They pretty much had no info on this fix. They didn't open a problem ticket 8005969635. Also their website said you should post a request online to have them call you back, but their process was broken in that area also. Full disclosure: even without this fix, the screen looks awesome to me.

Successful Adjustments for FONTS
November 5, 2015
Lots of people had problems with the fonts on this 4K hi-def screen. Lenovo support was useless but Geek Squad fixed me right up via remote connection. It might be something others know, but judging by the reviews most people including me just didn't really understand. There are lots of modifications to DISPLAY parameters but what most people should do if they are using this screen for apps like Windows Live is to change the screen resolution to 1920x1080 and change the scaling to 125%. Now everything is beautiful. If you do want to watch a movie in high def, then put it back to 3840x2160 and set scaling to 200%. What is confusing is that there is a choice for 2560x1600 but this is not the same ratio as the screen size so you get bars on each side which you probably don't want - I should have seen this but the Geek Squad enlightened me. Now as to the patch from Lenovo for font scaling, you probably don't need it nor would it do much I am sure. So kudos to the Geek Squad and thanks. It is an awesome machine and in fact even the lower resolution is more than any other PC I have ever had.

Thanks for Posting Info on Font Patch from Lenovo
November 6, 2015
JasoninNJ, thanks for posting your comment that installing the Lenovo patch to help font scaling toasted the machine. I won't try again to install it. As I mentioned I don't think it is needed. There will be more ultra HD computer screens and I'm guessing they will add automated switching to show videos in HD but do the rest of your PC work with the lower resolution which is excellent when viewing text.

Text Display Improvement
November 16, 2015
After playing with various settings I have some hopefully helpful feedback. First of all don't use the 3840x2160 unless you are streaming video, it makes text bad. Also don't use 2560x1600 since it is not a multiple of the 3840x2160 i.e. you'll get bars on both sides of the screen. Do use the 1920x1080 which is also hi-def and fits this screen dimensions properly. Now if you want text a little bigger then go to 'set custom scaling level' and use 110% or 115%; this makes nice readable text. Now here's a quirk I see lots of people having and not just on this PC or brand for Windows 10. You may see occasional video card errors and once in a while the machine may not IPL (just power off and try again it will come up). I think the problem is the video card doesn't get back fast enough to the CPU, and the video card crashes but does recover. Not a problem unless you are playing PC high powered games. So I don't recommend this machine for games, but video streaming and apps like Corel Photoshop are great. Now what you can do to minimize or eliminate the video card crashes (remember it happens on lots of machines with Windows 10, so there will be a fix soon I think). Anyway go to Control Panel and search for 'visual effects', then click on adjust the appearance and performance of Windows. Then select 'Custom' and click the box next to 'smooth edges of screen fonts'. If you optimize for 'best appearance' entirely or for let 'windows choose'... that's when the video card may not keep up I think. If you optimize for 'best'performance' the text looks horrible. Anyway the 'custom' settings work for me to give me nice text and no crashes. This is a stretch but I think the engineers knew there could be a problem, that's why they tried to put in the super high powered video cards, but not good enough for now, I do think this will get fixed by Windows 10 OS soon. This machine for it's price is tremendous and I think worth this minor glitch.

Good News to Add
December 8, 2015
I wanted to update my review to indicate that a frequent display driver error that said "...Intel Video adapter stopped working but recovered...", has stopped occurring after about 1 week ago when a pretty big Windows 10 update came out. It was never a killer for me since I don't play games but when I googled it, I did see that it was fairly common on many PC's - that's good since it appears Microsoft fixed it. Note there are two video adapters in this machine but the Nvidia one was not failing.
