REJOINING the "Ultrawide Master Race" After a 7+ YEAR HIATUS - AOC CU34G2XP Review

Image
Rating ★★★★☆ (4 out of 5) Pros Price to Performance Paid $289.99 (pre-tax) for a 180Hz with adaptive sync, 3440x1440, VESA Certified DisplayHDR 400 monitor Desktop Software  G-Menu /I-Menu for controlling the monitor hardware settings within the windows desktop is a nice addition Hardware Design is fairly tame, not overly gamer looking by any means Plenty of input and output options 2x HDMI 2.0 - Up to 100Hz 2x DisplayPort 1.4 - Up to 180Hz (8-Bit with dithering) or 144Hz (10-Bit) 3.5mm audio out 4x USB [one of which supports Quick Charging] with upstream USB-B port Good stand (although I'm not using it because mine is VESA mounted) VESA 100x100 support Visuals Great Contrast! Black levels are MILES better than the Acer Predator Z1 I'm coming from Hardly any "flashlighting" on the screen from the backlight, or at least I can't see it  High refresh rate Going from 165Hz to 180Hz isn't a huge jump, but it does provide just a bit more smoothness PPI ~110 PPI ...

Resolving a WiFi 6E Broadcasting issue with ASUS ZenWiFi ET8

Keeping this short and sweet. Just passing along a helpful forum post I came across for resolving an issue when only one of the ZenWiFi ET8 units / access points was broadcasting the 6 Ghz signal instead of both.  Check out this forum post if you are experiencing a similar issue:  https://zentalk.asus.com/t5/networking/axe6600-et8-6ghz-issue/m-p/461593/highlight/true#M1842

Anleon MX200 Review - Works Perfectly for Connecting Two PCs to One Set of Speakers

Here's a quick little review about an audio mixer, but before we get into it, check out this gallery of images first! Anleon MX200 Rating ★★★★★ (5 out of 5) Pros Build quality Plenty of ports Volume knobs feel good On/Off power button Cons Wish it came with some adhesive rubber feet Instructions are a bit simplistic (but realistically this is a simplistic device) Brand name (Not really a con but I've never really heard of Anleon before) Other Thoughts TL;DR Overall I am satisfied with this purchase and it works exactly as expected for my needs. The only thing I wish it came with was some adhesive rubber feet but those are cheap enough to purchase separately that it's not a big issue at all. Full Review I wanted to find a "proper" way to connect both of my computers to one set of speakers for simultaneous audio playback. This could be achieved with an extremely cheap 3.5mm Y-splitter but I had read that going with a solution like that...

A Great HEAVY DUTY Monitor Arm/Mount for 43" 4K and Heavy Monitors! - VIVO STAND-V101H Review

Quick gallery of unboxing images and the stand arm/mount attached to my monitor before we hop into the review. VIVO STAND-V101H Rating ★★★★★ (5 out of 5) Pros Easy assembly Good build quality Securely holds 20+lb monitor (AOC U4308V) without issue Included 200x100 VESA mount bracket is nice (for my use case especially!) Easy adjustment of height, spring tension and monitor position Built in cable routing Cons None Other Thoughts Full Review I bought this arm/mount to replace a dual 32" (inch) monitor arm/mount I was using. I moved my secondary 32" (inch) monitor onto its included stand and I wanted something that would be tall enough and could handle the weight of a heavy 43" (inch) 4K monitor (the AOC U4380V). The monitor I wanted to mount supports 200x100 VESA so I liked that VIVO included an adapter in the box. With the included adapter, the overall price was comparable and in some cases cheaper than other options which required buying an a...

A FANTASTIC GPS fitness smartwatch! - Garmin Vivoactive 3 Music Review

This is the last fitness wearable/smartwatch post in a while. I swear this time! Before getting to the meat of this review, check out the gallery of images below. Garmin Vivoactive 3 Music Rating ★★★★☆ (4 out of 5) Pros Build and Design Lightweight and unobtrusive Universal 20mm quick release watch bands Waterproof (5 ATM) Battery Lasted about 4 full days on a 90% charge even with 1hr and 20mins of GPS usage Charges very quickly Display Always on without significant battery drain Customizable Easily readable in sunlight and in darkness with the backlight Training Configuration Ability to create and schedule custom workout plans Automatic rep counting (inconsistent but it's there and will hopefully get better) Metrics 24/7 wrist based heart rate tracking with stress level tracking Very detailed tracking information. Garmin really does provide some of the most detailed information when it comes to fitness and wellbeing tracking.  GPS and al...
