Upgrade from Previous versions
on November 13, 2023
Posted by: Mark
I've used previous versions Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Elements. I've used the Adobe Elements to fix up pictures and to make video edits for last minute projects. As it is easy to use, I found myself to be a intermediate user quickly. One thing I noticed about Photoshop Elements 2024 is the Color match features where there are built-in presets (quick mode) to fine tune hue, saturation, and brightness or you can customise the photo using advanced mode. Another new feature the Photo Reel where I can create reels zip using my photos where I can add my own text, effects, and graphics. I can save them as MP4s or GIFs for social media settings. I plan to use this feature for my kids as they grow up.
One feature I use a lot is the one-click photo actions where I can enhance compressed JPEGs. I have a lot of old photos that I want to make look smoother or remove the background. I notice the 2024 is geared toward photo or social media sharing. The interface make this software easy to use. I am not pro. I consider myself an amateur since I've had previous versions.
The integration of AI really simplified this software. I will continue using future versions of this software. I also like the price. I really enjoy it and highly recommend!

Awesome gaming monitor and a lot of features.
on May 23, 2023
Posted by: Mark
I always wanted a gaming monitor with G-Sync compatibility. The HP Omen - 27 Inch is exactly what I was looking for in a gaming monitor. I have a Xbox Series X. The sharp details are awesome, although I wished I got a bigger monitor the 27 inch screen did not disappoint. I really like the 240 Hz refresh rate (I usually have 120hz), so I could tell the difference because the refresh rate was very quick very minimal blurring (I like to play Rocket League). I also like that the back of the monitor also has VESA capability. The monitor comes with two HDMI 2.0 ports, one Displayport 1.4, USB Hub, 2 USB-A ports, and headphone jack this is more than enough for any gamer. I thought it was pretty cool that the stand was adjustable (tilt, pivot, and height adjustments). I also love that the back of the monitor has lighting. I usually have to buy the monitor lights. Since the monitor is adjustable (vertical and horizontal) I also plan to use it for work. I really like this monitor and I am thinking of purchasing another one for my office space. I totally recommend!!

The Standard
on April 30, 2023
Posted by: Mark
I was in the market for some cameras for the new home we are planning to purchase. I wanted four cameras for each corner of the house. The Swann 4 cameras for indoor and outdoor fit the description. I did not want to worry about charging the cameras or buying an additional solar charging accessories, all this is wired. After the house was painted I installed the cameras with the mounting screws and plugs (included in the box). I connected the ethernet cable and use an old monitor for visuals (HDMI comes included in the box as well), and mouse. The app is okay, nothing crazy it does what suppose to do, but it sometimes lags.
I used the light and siren option which are by default off. I thought it was kind of silly, but other than that I thought it was a good camera system for the price. I would recommend! I am glad I got them for my new house.
The storage type is DVR & cloud. Camera resolution is 1920 x 1080 and it has night vision. It works well with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. It was not a problem connecting since I already I had a profile set up. The field of view is 90 degrees.

Pay a little more and get another groomer!
on April 13, 2023
Posted by: Mark
I have owned Conair products and I have heard nothing but great things about Conair products. I like the compact ability, the fast charging feature, and the all in one grooming tools that are interchangeable magnetic attachments. Unfortunately, I will have to give 3 stars for this review. I used the precision beard and mustache trimmer. I did not want to completely shave but wanted a stubble (short) look. I had to go over different areas multiple times. The trimmer did not fully trim the hairs. Another day I used the haircut and body trimmer for the hairs on my lower back and once again I had to go over multiple times to get it correctly. After a while I felt I was better off just using a shaver because using the Conair trimmer took too much of my time. I did not use the nose and ear trimmer. I do not feel comfortable putting something up my nose.
I do like that it has fast charging capabilities (20 mins for 40 mins and 3 hours for 4 hours). The groomer is water proof as well. I did like the groomer itself it looks modern and sturdy but the attachments feel cheaply made (plastic). I would not recommend this groomer.

Simple and Awesome!
on October 18, 2022
Posted by: Mark
I never owned any Polk audio products, so I was skeptical about the quality and sound of their sound bar and wireless subwoofer. I want to say how I was blown away by the sound quality of both the sub and the soundbar. The installation was straightforward, and the cables were minimal. I like the subwoofer. It's wireless and very powerful. The speaker is located at the bottom. Unfortunately, I did not have the .75 tweeters (sold separately). You'll also have to buy the sound bar and tweeters wall bracket (also sold separately).
I like that the speakers connect with google or apple home. You can also use the basic Bluetooth 5.0 option. I mostly use the speakers with Spotify or my tv. The sound bar and subwoofer were heavy, the sound bar was 13 pounds, and the subwoofer was 26 pounds, so you'll need help carrying the box. The back of the sound bar has 3 4K HDMI @ 60hz, 1 HDMI eARC 4k @60 Hz, Optical, and USB (for updates). No option for ethernet. The sound system comes with remote control, but you can adjust it with your tv to use only your tv remote. I like this sound bar so much that I plan to buy the tweeters so I can get the whole experience. My gaming (Xbox series x) is much better, and the movie experiences are better. I recommend it to anyone!

Everything You need in a Dashcam
on October 18, 2022
Posted by: Mark
I was in the market for a new dashcam. I've had my previous one for almost three years. I also needed a dashcam with cellphone capabilities and a parking monitor option. The Rexing V33 is that and more! The dashcam provides 2k video from the front of the car, cabin, and rear. I can also connect with Wifi and voice control, and it has a built-in GPS logger that can track metrics such as MPH while driving. I was impressed with how sturdy and easy the installation was. Finally, the front and rear cameras have night vision sensors.
I installed my dashcam right behind the review mirror. It blocks the camera a little bit when viewing the cabin, but I did not want the camera to be low or on the left or right side of the windshield. It still works great! I used the installation tools to mount the back camera. I set up the loop recording (a 64 GB memory card is included), and I was ready to go. I am, however, disappointed that you have to purchase additional hardware (Rexing smart hardware kit or Rexing intelligent hardware kit) to activate surveillance mode while the vehicle is parked or off. My car has been hit while I was parked in the street. Overall, the installation was easy, with no need to go somewhere for professional installation, and easy to set up recording (you'll have to download the Rexing app to connect to the Wifi). Warranty is 12-18 months with product registration for labor and parts.
The price is a little high, but the product is solid and offers three cameras. I recommend!

Excellent Keyboard and Smooth
on October 9, 2022
Posted by: Mark
This keyboard sets the bar when it comes to gaming keyboards. The packaging is very nice and straightforward. I like the low-key travel, which helps with short actuation. The keyboard feels sturdy and well-built. The installation was effortless; all I did was connect the USB-C cable, and the software started installing automatically. Very convenient. The keyboard has a long battery life (40 hours), and you can detach the type C cable for continued use while still charging. The key caps are a great addition compared to regular keycaps. I like the multi-function roller and media button. I had no problem pausing, skipping, and brightness. I haven't customized the lighting. I still use the standard lighting type. As an accountant/gamer, I appreciated the ten keypads, as I can also use this for work. Finally, the keyboard weighs 2.27 ounces, not as heavy as the other keyboards I have used.
I let my girlfriend use the keyboard. She has long nails and thought the keys were easier to use than the regular keyboards. Now she also wants this keyboard for her setup and her job. I cannot mention enough how smooth the keystrokes are; it feels very effortless. The only con is the price, I have never paid that much for a keyboard, but other than that, it is an excellent keyboard for any gamer. I recommend this keyboard to anyone!

Sturdy Universal Port for on the GO!
on September 15, 2022
Posted by: Mark
Very sturdy 10-in-1 USB-C hub. I was in the market for a portable MacBook USB-C port. I have a MacBook Pro (2020); unfortunately, the only connections are two USB-C ports, which was a drag. I purchased multiple options online, and using them on the road was inconvenient. The port universal USB-C eliminated all that and made it simple. I am a student and usually use a second portable monitor so I can study more efficiently. I had no problem using both monitors with this universal port. I just installed HyperDisplay. Simple. The dock comes with 4K 60Hz and 4K 30Hz HDMI video ports, a USB-C 100W Power Delivery port, MicroSD/SD slots, two USB-A 5Gbps ports, and a 3.5mm audio combo jack for headphones. I especially like that I could use Micro SD/SD cards because I have a lot of Micro SD cards from cameras, drones, and old devices. You can also charge your devices with its 85W pass-through USB-C 100W PD charging port. Overall I like the sturdiness of the device, and I am glad that I do not have to carry different USB-C ports anymore, only one. The only thing I do not like is the price. It would be great if they could reduce the cost by $50! Overall, I recommend the product.

Awesome tiny Bluetooth Speaker!
on September 14, 2022
Posted by: Mark
This tiny Bluetooth Wonderboom 3 is impressive. I cannot believe the sound is coming from this little speaker. I was in the market for a portable speaker to take on hikes, bike rides, jogs, or road trips. The speaker does not disappoint, and the price is excellent as well! I have not used the speaker in the water (3 ft. maximum depth) so I cannot review its waterproof design. I usually do not have dust, so I cannot check on its dustproof design as well. I once used the speaker in my car since my stereo was not working correctly and was just as loud as my regular car stereo. The bass sounds excellent for whatever genre you are into (rap, indie, EDM, etc.). I've only used the speaker nonstop for a couple of hours, but it is promoted that it can last up to 14 hours and takes up to 2.6 hours of charging time. The wireless range can be up to 131 ft., but I always keep it with me. Unfortunately, the speaker does not have a built-in Microphone, so there are no Alexa capabilities. I do like that it was a two year manufacturer's warranty. The speaker also weighs 0.94 pounds which is very light for the powerful sound it carries. Perfect for those hikes. I recommend this speaker!

Good Price but Pay Wall
on July 29, 2022
Posted by: Mark
Very affordable indoor/outdoor wired 1080p security camera. The camera is very compact and mobile. It also connects to the network via wireless, but unfortunately, it must be connected to a power outlet to use the camera. I felt this limited the security camera's use since I placed it in areas with no close power source (my backyard). I, however, did like the magnet feature for mounting. I found this very useful when mounting on metal.
Unfortunately, you'll have to purchase their service options to take advantage of all the features. I did find their in-app marketing annoying as it constantly tried to upsell me. It also asked for a lot of my information. I was not too fond of that. Also, I wouldn't say I liked the sound quality of the camera. The motion detection notifications were okay but, after a while, became annoying as well. Finally, the 1080p video quality was a nice touch and is clear, not pixeled. I thought it was great for the price tag. Overall, I thought it was a decent camera, but the upsell to use the basic features made me not recommend the camera.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great TV but 60 Mhz? Really?
By Mark
I originally bought an M-Series 55 Inch 4K Vizio TV. I had to return it because of the obvious lag when i play my Xbox and the lack of smart apps. I read the reviews on this TV and i thought i would go with a known brand like Samsung. My previous TV was a Samsung 50 Inch Projection TV and i had it for like 7+ years and it still looked great. I wanted to upgrade.
My first impression was the nice picture, very solid colors and sharpness. I like the smart TV Apps and web browsing capabilities when i play my Xbox one it looks great! no lag and colors are nice. I haven't seen 4K content on it so i can't offer an opinion on 4k stuff.
Now to the bad stuff. There is backlighting on the lower right, top left, and middle left of the screen. You can't notice right away until you start watching movies in a dark room. You can't tell if its in full screen, the back lighting does get annoying from time to time.
I think one of the major drawbacks of this TV would be the 60mhz, it's say trumotion 120 but that is just mumbo jumbo for 60mhz you'll think with SUHD you'll have a 120 mhz but nope that's one of the major things i could say bad about this TV. My 15 days were up so i could not return this TV, if i could i think i would of spend +$150 for a Sony, but overall it's a nice tv.
I notice a lot of TV's within the dollar range have some kind of an issue with back lighting.

Returning TV
December 14, 2015
Thank you for your reply about the 15 day return policy. I ph'd Best Buy and they confirmed that any purchases made between late Nov and Dec are eligible for returns all the way to Jan 15, so as a result i will be returning this TV because of the Refresh rate (currently 60mhz/ Trumotion is not 120) and backlighting light bleed) and paying a +$100 more for a Sony XBR55X810C 55-Inch 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV (2015 Model) which has a 120 Mhz and has slightly better ratings.

Great for the Active Person on the Go
By Mark from LA
These headphones are very comfortable, i used them for a 4 mile jog on my treadmill and a 4 mile jog at my local park. They didn't come off or felt uncomfortable during my workouts.
The cables are thin, and the mic doesn't take up too much space either. These headphones look really discreet, especially with the black color which i like, it looks like i don't have headphones at all.
The wireless feature is nice too. I hate cords. I had to buy an arm sleeve due to headphone cords to have easier access to my ipod, but w/ these i don't need one, i just keep my cell in my pocked and jog, it doesn't eve effect the sound quality either!
I sweat a lot, some people say more then the average person. I also like to stay active by working out 5 days a week. These headphone have been great for my daily jogs. They are "splash resistant" too. You can tell by how the mic is covered and the earbuds which is another plus.
The only thing i would knock off these headphones is the sound quality. These headphones can get very loud, when it's loud the highs and lows don't sound too well that's why i am taking off 1 star.
These headphones are just loud which is fine because when you are working out you don't pay attention to the highs and lows, you just want good loud music coming out of your headphones which these headphones do.
So far, i like this product. They do what they suppose to do, and they are loud. They also look durable. I would recommend these headphones to anyone who likes to workout. I have a feeling these headphones will be my go to gear for workouts. I hope they last a couple of years with me.

These headphones are no good
July 7, 2017
This is a follow up on my previous review. I finally tried them while jogging. I was only 1 block into my jogging and they stopped working. It kept syncing out. The headphones said ," i was out of range" which i wasn't. I had an arm band and the headphones were on my head! I couldn't get them to work after that. I tried turning them off and on, then later syncing up, but it still did not work. What a waste. These headphones were a good idea but i can't even use for a regular jog. 1 star for that.

Basic Sound and Annoying LED light
By Mark from Los Angeles
I wanted to like this sound bar, based on looks, the reviews it had, and of course the LG brand which is known for having good products. I would think with the 300 Watts capability it would be louder, but it isn't. You really have to mess with the bass (and the sub woofer bass) to get some decent bass for music and cinema.
I have a Sony 4k 55' inch TV (2015 Model). I didn't use the HDMI option to connect, i used the optical cable. I later change the settings on my TV to "sound system" - My TV controller controls the volume on the sound bar, but it says on my tv, "volume is fixed" every time i increase volume, so if i go from 10 at volume to 30, the volume is fixed" sign will show up 20x. So i'll have to use the sound bar controller for volume now.
This sound bar can be used for Bluetooth streaming as well. I sync up my cellphone (galaxy s7), it worked well for a couple of songs then it would kick me out. It would do this very often. I later downloaded the "music flow" app from LG (LG manual states it works well with app) thinking it would be the better option for streaming music from my phone to the sound bar and guess what? It did the same thing. Kicked me out after a couple of songs, it was really annoying. I couldn't listen to my playlist without reconnecting every 10 mins. After, it kicks me out it would go back to "optical" mode on the sound bar.
Even after i turn off the sound bar, i would wake up to the "optical" mode still on.
As others reviewers of this product, i would say that the LED light is really annoying. It's always on. I tried to remove it with the "music flow" app under settings but it didn't work.
The sound bar itself is very light, doesn't weight much at all. The sub woofer itself its medium sized, like the size of a shoes box I didn't feel a lot of bass coming from the sub woofer.
It's disappointing that this sound bar sounds so basic but looks very stylish and modern. I just can't get around the Bluetooth disconnecting and the basic sound.
The nice thing is that it came with a sound bar wall mount (i bought one from amazon thinking i would need it).
I wouldn't recommend.

Follow Up Review
August 11, 2017
I got an HDMI cable, connected it to the HDMI out behind the Sound Bar, I later connected the HDMI cable to the ARC HDMI option and my TV automatically sync up to the sound bar and sub woofer. I now can control the volume with my TV controller, and the sound bar turns off automatically when i turn off my TV. I disconnected the Optical cable option completely as a result i don't get kicked out when streaming music via bluetooth option, which is great because it was really annoying before. NOT all tv's support HDMI ARC option, luckly my TV is not that old (Sony 4k Bravia 2015 Model) now the sound bar works exactly how its suppose to, although i'm still not happy with the sound quality. I feel with the sub woofer and 300 watts option it should be a lot better, but then again now that i got it to work well i give it 4 stars! I wouldn't use the optical input option as it made it more difficult to sync everything. I just wanted to do a follow up.

How do you have to recharge the R7070? Does it need a special electric outlet? How high can the outlet be. Can you program this without a smart phone?

Hello Marty!

You do not need anything out of the ordinary, just space to put your charging station. In the set up, there is the adapter cable and a charging station included w/ the set up. You just connect the charging cable to the outlet, hook up the charging cable to the charging station, once you do that, you press the red switch at the bottom of the vacuum. Pick up the vacuum, and place it right in front of the charging station until the lights on the vacuum show charging.

In regards to the programming to charge, the vacuum has it automatically included, once the vacuum detects its low on battery, it will automatically go back to its charging station. Once it's charge it will continue vacuuming where it left off. I hope this helps!

there really isn't a discount for this computer, but right now is -$100 off if that helps. You can also get the lower ram option if you don't want to pay the $1,399 price tag.

Does it have a clock?

if you mean does it tell you the time? Then yes it tells the time while on sleep or while using it. I haven't figured out how to change the time from military to regular time.
