I'm loving this headset. Came nicely packaged. I immediately plugged it my PC. I had downloaded razer's synapse software already and the install was a breeze. You have to make sure in the Windows sound properties that the razer game and razer chat are set as default, one for speakers and the other for communications (mic). Once done, I fired up a game and turned on the THX spatial sound, and it was great! Far better and even a fancier headset I also have that is supposed to have positional sound too (arctics pro with game dac and DTSX 2). I could accurately tell were sounds were coming from in a game like rainbow six. Remember, the THX spatial sound is an evolution of surround sound, not only gives you 7.1 emulation but also up and down (kind of like dolby atmos or dtsx).
The synapse software is unobtrusive and I like that it detects when you have a game running (you may have to alt + tab for a moment to switch to it), you can assign a sound mode to each game you launch (in example, if you like more stereo sound on one game or surround, you can pre set it per game) and it will activate automatically next time you launch the game. This a great feature, but requires the game to be running for the software to detect it and you change your preset. There is room for improvement, maybe like a game scanning feature so it looks for games on your HD and then you can apply the presets. In the mean time they have to be running (I guess its because you can practically apply the preset to any program that is running as long as its outputting sound, so could be other apps, not only games).
Comfort was great, I usually game for around 1 hour non stop at nights and I wear glasses and they were fine, no pressing on them and they cover my ears nicely. No sweaty ears either, they seem to have a breathing material or so.
Highly recommend them if you want to hear everything around you!!

Great headphones, the active noise canceling feature is great removing sounds from outside (although I noticed it adds a very small hiss). I also love that they have a monitor feature, which basically lets you hear the outside (ie. someone talking to you), so you can answer and hear them without taking the headphones off. I didn't notice they have an specific app for this pair, however they paired easy with my android phone. They are also Tile compatible (you can use the app to find your headphones if you misplace them).
I'm not an audiophile by any means, but I think the bass are more than enough for me and I have not noticed any distortion when cranking up the volume.
One thing though, I have big ears, and after a while they started to hurt a little. YMMV, maybe if you have smaller ears. But it wasn't that bad, it was more of a sign to me to rest a little.
Overall, I will highly recommend them, specially the fact of the monitoring function, no more taking headphones off when people talk to me!!

Great all in one PC. Came nicely packaged and includes a nice wireless keyboard and a mouse (although kind of basic, I plugged in my trusty mechanical keyboard and a gaming mouse). The screen is clear, with little gloss. The included speaker is loud!
Upon setup, I was welcomed by the usual bloatware, aka McAfee, which I proceeded to uninstall right away. Windows defender and firewall are more than enough (although if you want something else, there are very nice alternatives like Avast, Comodo which are free, or Malware bytes which you could pay).
The PC was fast, although it doesn't have an SSD, the included drive must be a 7200 rpm as it was fast (you still have an empty slot so you could add an nvme drive). Plenty of speed for business and home apps like office, web surfing, email, AKA a nice home/office PC. Don't expect this pc to be a gaming one. The included intel UHD 630 graphics are very bad for modern AAA games. I did not see an option to upgrade it, there isn't space to add a video card and the PC doesn't have thunderbolt to add an external one. Some games may work, but on very low settings and maybe 720p.
Oh, forgot to mention, the screen is a touch one! Almost forgot, because who would in their sane mind smear fingerprints and grease on their PC screen. Leave that for tablets or phones. But it is there if you wish to use it and its super responsive, no problems there.
It also has a nice web cam on top, and I love the loading mechanism. Its like a slot loader drive, but vertical. You can have the cam hidden and unslot it only when you wanna skype or so.
Also, I used Dell's software updater to see and there were quite a few updates, including a BIOS update, so make sure you update everything, including drivers and run windows update. Remember, whatever comes installed is already old!
Overall, its a great all in one PC, which takes almost no desk space, quiet, fast and great for Home/Office!

This is a great set, blender and processor! I really like the vacuum feature. It makes smoothies much richer and without the unnecessary foam. Flavor is enhanced! I did a couple of smoothies and they all came great tasting, however I don't know if I used it wrong or not, but the batteries were all dead once I wanted to do another a few days later. I think next time I will remove them, they seem to drain while in. I also wanted to try the chopping feature and I cut my finger while changing the blades! Be careful, they're extremely sharp! (good for food, not for fingers). I was able to chop some onions for a chip dip and they came out great. The automated function is great. With another blender I had to kind of pulse and calculate the time manually to make good smoothies, but with this one, just a push of a button of the IQ and you can make perfect smoothies, crushed ice etc!

Great organizer and editing software!
on November 6, 2018
Posted by: JamexRZ

This are a great pair of software that can make your life easier when it comes to organizing and editing your media, be it pictures or movies.
At first I had trouble running them in my 64 bit Windows 10 PC. They kept throwing an "error 16" when trying to launch the programs. I looked at Adobe's website for a fix. They describe a lengthy process where you have to edit properties of folders. I tried that process but nothing happened, I kept having the same error. Finally, I was able to fix them by just running the software as an administrator (right click, run as admin. Or if you want it permanently, right click, properties, and you will find a compatibility tab to enable the shortcut/executable to always run as admin). After that, everything was buttery smooth. You can create a free Adobe cloud account and sign in with that and then you enter your serial numbers and the software is fully activated.
They both come with an organizer, that right of the bat detected I have google photos and Onedrive and asked me if I wanted to add my photos from both, I said yes and it downloaded all my media. (I don't know how it knew it had both, but my guess is because I had google drive and Onedrive apps installed on my pc already).
After that, I could use elements to edit and bump up any pictures I had. They give you options to do so the easy way (wizard) or the manually. The easy way already gives you examples of what you can do (like turn pictures into black and white ones, add 3d effects, or even improve an old pic from a fill that you may have scanned).
Premiere is more for videos, but as above, has an "easy" way, and in example you can turn pics into animated gifs, or a video frame by frame. Its really nice and I'm using it mostly to add nice effects to share with my family or media posts.
Both complement each other and is an easy way for anyone at home to soup up their pics and videos for keeping and sharing. Highly recommend it for the home user! If you want something more "professional", well Adobe has software like that too you can buy, for content creators in example.

Excellent software package!

Excellent productivity software package. All you need in one, Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Outlook. Installation was a breeze. All I needed to do was login into my Microsoft account and if you use that login for up to 5 devices, you can use office on all of them. I have a desktop pc, a laptop and mobile device (apps are both for ios or android). I sign into windows 10 with my same microsoft account, so I installed the package in all of them and they are all linked seamlesly. You can save a document in your Onedrive (which, by the way, storage goes up to 1TB with this subscription) and you can have your docs in the cloud. They also give you an offer that if you enable auto renew (must have a credit card on file), they give you a free extra month (it would renew yearly). You also get 60 minutes of skype so you can make international calls voip. All this for this price makes the package a great deal!

Great keyboard for any media device!

Very good keyboard, that makes it easier to type in movie names, web addresses compared to using a remote control or a gamepad. It's compatible with mobile devices, PC's, Smart tvs and others. I has integrated bluetooth, but it also comes with an usb receiver. I'm currently using it with my Nvidia Shield TV android box, and boy, it makes it super easy to type movie names, web addresses, logins and passwords and anything that would take some time to do so using a regular control. It was easy to setup, just plugged in the usb receiver into the device and it was recognized. The integrated touchpad and dpad make it easy to navigate. Only caveat, is I wish it was back lit, I like watching movies in a dark room, and I usually find myself looking for my phone for lighting. Other than that, its a great media keyboard! Range was good, I seat about 9 feet from my tv console and reception was flawless.

Accurate, comfortable and great mouse!

Really good mouse. I like the tons of customization, macros, rgb it offers with its companion Logitech software. The sensor is precise and one of the highest rated ones, 16000 Dpi!! I like that it comes with weights so you could adjust the mouse weight to your liking. You can create macros and customize each of the 11 programmable buttons! One thing though, I think because of the shape it would be more suited for right handed users, however it could still be used by leftys. Remember to disable windows mouse acceleration in windows mouse settings for the most accurate tracking!!

Great camera with some caveats.

Posted by: JamexRZ

I always wanted to have a polaroid camera, and this one is great with some caveats. I really like the modernization of having it pair with your phone, you can adjust some settings and learn stuff, however I wish you could also view what the camera is viewing. Developing a film may take between 6 to 15 minutes and you cannot have a preview in your phone, so you have to hope you took a good pic. You have to understand this is not intended to replace a regular camera. It may find uses among photo enthusiasts, however I'm mainly using it for family get togethers, where its fun to pull it out and take a quick pick to give away. One thing, though, the films are expensive and none come with the camera, so use sparingly! Other than that its a nice novelty camera!

Install was very fast on my laptop. It scans your system while installing. Once done, there was an update. I had to enable the "ransomware remediation" option, which protects and fixes if you want to prevent one of those new ransomware that encrypt your data for a payment. I also enabled the automatic profiles as I game a lot on my laptop, so it automatically detects if you are gaming or playing a movie and not annoy you with messages or interruptions.
Footprint of the interface seems very light, it did not notice any slow downs on my laptop, granted its a 6 core one, however with only 8 Gigs of ram, and it was still fast and no slowdowns. Its a great solution and you can install it in as much as 5 devices, including Macs!

Is this tv full array led or led edge lite?
Is the tv full array led?
I highly doubt by the price point its a full array. More than likely is edge lit. But I must say, even so, the black levels are superb and it even has backlight dimming. Panel uniformity is great and there is no clouding nor light leaking on the sides (being a small panel, chances of having those are very, very low).

Below under Question Details is a copy of a customer review of the Sharp TV Model LC-32LB370U on the Best Buy Website. Is this correct?
"The description on the box is that the TV screen is 31.5" diag. This is true; however, the picture is only 23" diag. I purchased this Sharp to replace a 24" Sony, which had a fine picture; just small. Now, I have a Sharp, which has a great picture; just smaller."
You must be measuring it wrong or must have gotten the wrong model. Or maybe you are viewing content that doesn't fill the tv totally, that is not the tv's fault (i.e some movies, tv programs and filmed on different aspect ratios). I just measured it and its really 31.5" diagonally, full screen.
