Thin, edge to edge style 1080p
on October 2, 2019
Posted by: DavidJr
from Roanoke, VA
If you are looking for a large monitor with a simplistic thin design, this monitor fits that bill. They state it is “Virtually edge-to-edge panel”, and with the glass going to the edge it looks as such, but there is a ½ inch border under the glass all the way around. The top portion of the monitor is only ¼ inch thick, but the stand is 9 inches deep. There are no other mounting options that I can tell as the stand snaps in and has a single screw. It doesn’t raise, but it does tilt.
If you are looking for anything technically advanced, there are better options. This monitor is Full HD (1920x1080) at 60hz and if you are using this as a standard desk monitor you will notice the pixels. However, if you are a couple feet away, it is not as bad. This is fairly common for any display of this size that is only 1080p. There are three inputs, with two HDMI and one VGA. I found it odd that DisplayPort or DVI aren’t an option, but this still allows you to switch between the three inputs.
As soon as I hooked it up, my computer recognized it as an HP 32F and defaulted to the native resolution. The first thing I noticed, as I have a black background, is that edge lighting is really noticeable at any angle. After messing with the settings, I was able to reduce the effect of the light bleed with the dynamic contrast enabled. Another issue is the supposed anti-glare panel that is supposed to reduce and reflections yet I can easily see myself on a dark screen and just the glare of a light is noticeable compared to my 65” TV (pictured).
For the size, if you are just looking for a display and aren’t concerned for reading text or you are going to be sitting a couple feet away, this one is nice and the refresh rate is faster than most TVs this size.

Huge Ink Jet printer
on September 27, 2019
Posted by: DavidJr
from Roanoke, VA
The Brother MFC-J6545DW INKvestment Tank all-in-one inkjet printer is a beast of a printer and I mean that literally. This thing is huge, to include the ink cartridges, and requires a two person lift to move it. However, the size is important if you need to be able to scan/print/copy or fax ledger (11x17) size documents.
For a small business, this printer has pretty much everything higher end printers have and “1 years worth of ink” in the box. The included ink is listed as 3,000 black and 1,500 color pages, so the 1 year is subjective to use. But, compared to regular inkjet cartridges that tend to max out at 600 pages, this is a huge difference on cost advantage. Comparing to some other Brother Genuine cartridges you can get the ultra yield that has nearly 10 times the ink of regular inkjets (6,000 pages) for about $0.01 a page.
While comparing to other inkjet printers the quality on this one is on par with most others I have had but a bit faster on the actual output with a rating of 22ppm. On black, or pages with minimal color, it is noticeable how quick it is. Printing full color or photos does take a while and even comes out kind of damp feeling. Though capable of printing borderless photos, I wouldn’t say it is intended as such as the quality looks flat.
As for scanning, the automatic document feeder can hold up to 50 pages, but the 6545 model only supports single sided scanning through the ADF, you can do double sided if you use the bed or get the 6945 model. The copy quality is pretty good, but if comparing copies side by side, you can see the minor differences. The paper tray holds half a ream of paper and expands to hold the ledger size paper. This makes it stick out, but not any further than the paper output tray already is. There is also a multi-purpose tray in the back which makes it easy if you need to print something on card stock, photo paper or a different size than you already have loaded.
You can connect this printer using Ethernet, WiFi or USB 2.0 and it is simple to do so. However, once you connect this device to your network, I highly suggest you connect to it through a web browser and change the default password that is listed in the Online User’s Guide, not found in the included Reference Guide. Through the network settings you can enable additional security features such as firewall and external card readers as well as many other advanced configurations that can’t be changed through the touch screen.
Printing from any computer and mobile device on my network was simple and worked completely to include double sided printing without additional drivers installed. However, to use other features such as scan to device or send fax from PC/mobile device you need the CD/Downloaded software or the Brother iPrint&Scan app.

Massage therapist in a box
on September 12, 2019
Posted by: DavidJr
from Roanoke, VA
I had surgery on my foot over a year ago and haven’t had normal sensation throughout my foot and leg since then. Within days of using the Theragun G3 my foot already feels drastically different. Upon first use, it really took some getting used to because it felt like it hurt, but it was like sensory overload. I’ve been using it for a few minutes multiple times each day on my foot and other various sore spots. It is surprising the difference it makes within a few seconds.
I thought it was kind of odd that they advertised the handle, because it doesn’t look like much to it. Then I realized as I tried to reach other parts of my body, that the triangle allows it to be held in different angles. Unlike other massage guns, which only have a 90 degree handle, the G3 makes it easy to get harder to reach areas. Like the fact that I can do the major areas of my back on my own.
The included directions are very limited, however, getting the Theragun phone app helps explain a lot more. There are pictures to show patterns for specific treatments and some tips, but for the most part it still leaves it up to the individual to find what works for them. Even the included heads have general uses, but comes down to what works best in your situation. The battery says it lasts up to 60 minutes per charge, but considering how you can get relief in seconds, it makes it seem like it lasts so much longer.
The included case helps keep everything together, but is kind of large. It does a fair job of preventing the device from accidentally being turned on if you decide to pack it in your luggage. Just make sure nothing is directly poking where the power button is.

Better than most 40" TV speakers
on August 27, 2019
Posted by: DavidJr
from Roanoke, VA
This sound bar is super easy to set up and sounds pretty decent. Which is a good thing since the included “Simple Manual” is super simple. Reasonable deduction led me to figuring out what the plastic things with stickers were, the elevated feet. If you want to know more about the device, like how to disable the auto power off and that there is an app for additional settings, Music Flow Bluetooth, go to the LG support page.
This soundbar is limited with inputs of optical, Bluetooth and USB so any other input methods must go through your TV. The optical cable is included and is the best option for connection. If you have a recent LG TV it can use LG TV Sync over optical or Bluetooth. It was instantly recognized on my 2016 TV and controls the volume of the TV, but every time I change the speaker function to something else, it changes the TV settings to internal and then asks to turn it back when returned. Bluetooth is the same way, completely turned off the moment the function is changed, so you have to reconnect any device that was using it. The USB port allows you to plug in a thumb drive and play music directly and I was surprised at just how quick it loads MP3 files. I don’t think my PC even loads them that fast.
The LCD display on the front only displays 5 characters, but provides enough info even if it requires it to scroll by, like the filename of an MP3. It’s bright enough to see in a well lit room and dims where it is barely noticeable in a dark room after 15 seconds.
Though not listed on the Best Buy page, the dimensions are about the width of a 40” TV at 35.1" x 2.3" x 3.4", this is without the extended feet, wall brackets or power cord. The power cord isn’t recessed in any way, so it makes it about 3.75” deep and the extended feet help raise it above a thin TV plate, giving it about 0.75” clearance making it about 3” tall. The wall brackets are just a bit longer to allow for room to run the cables but you need your own screws to install in a wall. The subwoofer is 6.8" x 15.4" x 10.3" and only needs power, so can be hidden behind a couch or table. It has an interesting black carbon fiber laminate on the box and cloth front. Sometimes when first turning on, there is a delay of about 30 seconds for the subwoofer to kick on. Kind of a thing with anything wireless though.
Sold separately, you can add the SPK8-S two channel wireless rear speakers for added surround. However, I do not have those to test out and curious as there is a setting to turn off the surround sound which allows for original sound. So by default it is filling sound to the rear speakers, but disabling it will provide the true cinema sound if available.
Overall, not a bad speaker system, as it is better than most built in TV sound systems. However, I feel there's still room for improvements.

Nice snug fit and easy grip.
on August 23, 2019
Posted by: DavidJr
from Roanoke, VA
The grip on this case really helps it feel safer in your hand, but isnt a soft rubber like material that it can’t slide into your pocket like some other grip cases. The raised bezel is just enough to prevent the face of the phone from landing on a flat surface, but not so much that it makes the phone feel gawdy thick. The phone feels well protected and with the snug fit it’s not going to pop out like some cheap cases do. It says it is rated for 10ft, but I didn’t test that theory, just in case. It’s also still thin enough to still work with wireless charging.

Long lasting, truly wireless
on August 14, 2019
Posted by: DavidJr
from Roanoke, VA
Truly wireless, small profile, decent audio quality and long battery life, uncommon to get all of that is truly wireless earbuds. Most I have tried usually last maybe a couple hours or if they did last longer had a cylinder sticking out of your ear. The Jaybird Vista is simple to connect with one button on the case and standard Bluetooth connection. Sound quality by default is pretty decent, but I found it best when I installed the Jaybird app and used the equalizer. After using the “Discover more presets” option I was able to find exactly the sound I was looking for. Surprisingly low bass and range for such small earbuds.
I used these for several hours this weekend while doing some strenuous yard work and with all the sweat and activity they stayed in place. One thing that may be of concern for some out exercising is that these provide a decent amount of passive noise isolation. Meaning with music playing, you aren’t going to hear much of your surroundings. So, for me this weekend they actually acted as noise protection from the lawn equipment.
The only interaction these earbuds have is a single button that by default you click once for play/pause or call answer, twice for skip or ignore call or long hold for power off. However, you can change the clicks to be the voice assistant of your phone or some other custom commands for Spotify. I found the pressure needed to press the buttons a little excessive as they push the earbud into your ear a bit more. The only thing that would make them better is a touch sensitive button.
You can use the earbuds individually if you want to extend your battery life even more. For instance, when you get the 20% audio warning, take one out and throw it in the case till you run the other one dead, then swap out and keep going. With about 6 hours on a single full charge you can make these last more than a day with one at a time.

Decent sized with analog timer
on August 8, 2019
Posted by: DavidJr
from Roanoke, VA
Air fryers are pretty awesome, providing the crispy frying capability without all of the oil and mess. However, the ones that still use a basket like this one have a slight disadvantage since items tend to float around in oil and fry on all sides. When in the air fryer, if layered, you will have to stir, flip or shake them occasionally to ensure an even fry, such as a decent amount of fries. Even though this has a large 3.7qt/3.5L, it is still recommended to keep the layering of items down for best consistency. Even the recommended sizes and cooking times are on average for 2-3 servings.
Overall though, the Chefman Turbofry Air Fryer has fried everything I have thrown in it with a clean crispness and consistency. I do find this model a little dated with the simple 2 dial system that uses a basic analog timer. However, I know there are some that prefer that style. I personally like to know that the timer is exactly 18 minutes and not just roughly past the dot between 10 and 20, same goes for remaining time. But, this one is bigger, longer timer and cheaper than an older model Chefman Analog air fryer.

Gen 4, more like 3.5
on August 3, 2019
Posted by: DavidJr
from Roanoke, VA
The new Astro A50 isn’t much different from the 3rd generation, but there are some changes. The audio is clear and refined, they work with Dolby Atmos, I haven’t had any of the disconnect issues I had with Gen 3 and the base station is slightly changed for a marginally better charging stand.
Upon first use, I was concerned on how low the volume was, even with all the volume settings maxed out. You will find there is a mixer control on the right ear panel that changes volume level between voice and game that makes a difference. However, the real game changer for me was when I used ASTRO Command Center settings. Though the Command Center requires a PC to use it, I feel it is essential to get the best out of these headphones.
Through the ASTRO Command Center you can select from the pre-installed equalizer presets, slightly tune them yourself or go into the advanced settings and really fine tune the sound. However, through advanced settings I found that you can really mess up the sound if you don’t know what you’re doing. The best option was when I went to Reddit r/AstroGaming and found the user made presets. Through the subreddit there were a good selection of other presets that put the sound where I was looking for. Once these presets are synced to the device, you can move it back over to the Xbox and enjoy the same sound. You can also use three different presets for your gaming preference which can easily be switched by the press of a button. The selected preset is noted by an audible beep and by a number on the base station. Some other settings in the Command Center include EQ settings, noise gate level and sidetone level for the microphone as well as level settings for the stream port of the base station.
The large foam earpads are comfortable for long term use and avoid touching my huge ears. A separate mod kit is available for the synthetic leather and the previous generation is not compatible. The battery lasts about 15 hours for straight play time, but they also have an auto-power off when they are set down to help extend their life during any down time, which isn’t adjustable. There is also a micro-USB port that you can use to directly charge them if you must keep going.
The other button on the headset cycles between straight audio and Dolby Audio, however, this is not the same as the Dolby Atmos audio that can be enabled on Xbox and PC. The Dolby button uses Pro-logic that simulates a surround sound where there is not sound. So, in game having this feature enabled can really mess things up because when you are listening for directional sound it might simulate it around you. The best option is to enable Dolby Atmos with the included code and leave the headset in the straight mode, which is noted by a star on the base station.
Some minor annoyances I have is the fact that you really must connect this to a computer to make the most of it. Even changing the side tone of the mic could have been built in instead of the app. Also, if you want the latest version of the application, your best bet is to go through the Windows Store and not their own support site. Another thing is the volume knob is continuous, there is no indication of max or min as it just keeps spinning. The Voice/Game setting gives a tone when it reaches one extreme or the other, but not volume. I’m also a little upset that the 3rd generation mod kit won’t fit this generation. The only thing different is the slight variation in shape so they won’t work. Though slightly better, the same issue I had with the 3rd generation was the base station charging, it is still a pain to get right every time. The headphones feel like they lock in from the magnets, but then the base station starts flashing like it is in panic mode. It requires a little shake of the headset to try and get the exact contact so that they properly charge. After a few tries the lights will blink individually showing it’s level and that it is charging.
I also feel they should offer more for their asking price. The fact it is cloth earpads and they up charge even more for the leather like material when other cheaper sets come with them by default. There are other wireless headsets that also offer different connectivity, such as Bluetooth and have longer battery life. Even cheap headsets offer an easier switch between Xbox and PC than this one does. Besides the changes mentioned above, I really don’t see a true generation change here. It is more like Generation 3.5 which adds Dolby Atmos support.

Quality headphones for USB and 3.5mm
on August 1, 2019
Posted by: DavidJr
from Roanoke, VA
Just to get this out front, the only reason these are “For Windows” is because of the Pro feature that requires the USB digital audio converter (DAC). This is what gives the special equalizer and acoustic settings through the Logitech G Hub. The settings once saved only apply to the USB DAC, not the headset and will work with any headphones. This USB device can then be moved from system to system retaining the EQ settings you saved to it. However, these have a standard 4 pin 3.5mm wire that makes it so it can be used in anything that has a standard headphone jack. So it works just fine in Xbox and Playstation controllers as well as a cell phone. The only thing is, the EQ settings remain on the USB DAC.
As for the headphones themselves, they have a really nice microsuede memory foam padding and large earcups that provide a decent amount of passive noise isolation without touching your ears. The frequency range on these is nice, with ear tickling lows and crisp highs. I found the sound to be a little more refined using the Logitech G Hub to get the sound I prefered on the PC, but had to use other means on other devices.
The 2m (6.5ft) long braided cord gives you plenty of room for PCs that might be under a desk, but a bit excessive when using something like a controller. It has inline volume and mic mute controls which can be clipped to your shirt for easy access. It also comes with a split cable for computers that have a seperate mic and headphone output, which is also the same braided material. The microphone is flexible and removable, so you don’t have to have it on all the time.
Comparing these directly with another pair of gaming headphones, by only switching out the 3.5mm connection on the headset so everything else was the same, I found the Logitech G Pro had a broader sound range. With features like Dolby Atmos for headphones on PC and Xbox, having that clarity is what really helps the spatial audio.

Quick, sharp, black/grayscale prints
on July 15, 2019
Posted by: DavidJr
from Roanoke, VA
This is a simple ethernet or USB connected monochrome laserjet printer. Super fast printing which claims up to 40ppm. It is a matter of seconds from the time the computer spools it to the time in hand. Multiple page documents completed before most inkjet printers even get the first page out. However, it is single sided only with manual double sided requiring the user to place the documents back in tray 1.
Setup can be simple or complex, depending on how you want to manage the printer. If it is self managed it will use DHCP IP and basic default settings. If it is IT Managed you can get down to the fine details of how you want to use this printer and ensure it meets your security demands. All of the settings can be changed later through its IP web page. The web interface allows for most of the advanced configuration. This includes access lists, firewall rules, security certificates, syslog connection and enabling/disabling certain web features such as AirPrint and Google Cloud Print. It also provides usage details, ink levels and tools in case of print quality issues.
Once it was identified on my network I used the default Windows 10 drivers and the HP Smart app and have experienced a fair bit of delay in getting documents to spool to the printer. However, on a different computer I used the HP m404-m405 installation software first and had no delay. I ended up going back and removing the installed drivers under printer server properties and doing the HP install again and all works perfectly. The installation software requires diagnostic information to be collected, but that can later be disabled in the printer assistant software. During setup it also mentions that Wi-Fi Direct is enabled, even though the M404n does not include wireless.
Besides printing quickly, the black levels are sharp and detailed. Even sending full colored photos to it to print came out in a wide range or gray scale detail. If you are looking for a small quick black only quality printer, that you can customize to meet your security demands, then this is certainly a worthwhile contender.

Very unhappy about not getting the GearVR programs
By Sunshower
I tried many different ways to find out how to download the Gear VR programs by going to Samsung and Oculus online. All unsuccessful!!
June 3, 2016
Once you connect the Gear VR to the phone it starts a download for the software. There appears to be no other way to initiate the install. Once the Oculus software is installed, games and applications can be purchased through the application or from inside the store while wearing the device.

Need certain phones to use this.
By Donna
Wasn't told at time of purchase that certain phones were required to use this device. After purchase was when this was discovered. During this time we purchased a new home and was moving. After the move, tried to return the item because I didn't want to purchase a new phone. The only way the store would accept this return was to give me a gift card. I didn't want a gift card that I would most likely not use. Not happy with this policy at all. Also have made posts to FB in regards to your policy. I will not EVER enter your store again or make another purchase from you online. This is NOT how you treat a customer and expect more business from them.
It is labeled on the box and the site details
June 3, 2016
It says on the front and back of the box, "Compatible with Note5/S6 edge+/S6/S6 edge" and anywhere you look online it says it as well.

Is the RAM and SSD upgradable on this computer?

Yes, both the SSD and 1 module of RAM can be upgraded on this laptop. However, there is only one M.2 and one RAM slot, so the current devices will have to be removed. Max RAM is 24GB meaning a 16GB chip can replace the current 8GB as 8GB is on board.

Can the ram be upgraded? (To ASUS: There are currently two different answers given by you on this questionboard!)

The RAM can be upgraded. There is only 1 RAM slot though, with 8GB on board and 8GB that is user replaceable. This can be upgraded to 24GB total, so a 16GB PC4-3200 chip can be installed in place of the current 8GB.

Will this laptop support Xbox?

It is a Windows 10 computer and supports Xbox in the way that any other Windows 10 computer does. It does come with a month free of Xbox Game Pass which gives you access to PC Game Pass games. It does not play Xbox games that are not already in the Microsoft store for PC if that is what you are asking. You still need an Xbox if you want to play the game streamed to this computer.

Does it support controller use? (Xbox one, PS4, or custom versions of them)?

Any controller you can use with Windows 10 will work with this computer as is. Wirelessly some PlayStation controllers use Bluetooth and Xbox controllers usually need an adapter.
