Articles: Apple TV 4 (2015) Blank Screen on Computer Monitor Issue Solved
Recently I had purchased a refurbished Benq RL2455HM computer monitor via a sale by Benq Direct. Although the highly-praised screen is made more for gaming with its 1ms response time, we had used it with an Amazon Fire TV Stick as a TV for the kitchen. The RL2455HM works well for that purpose, but unfortunately it is a real pain in the butt to change the volume as you have to literally press different buttons 10 times reach the menu to do it.
Overall, even though that was a pretty nice setup, obviously the new....

I was curious what the difference is between the Logitech Harmony 300i remote I have and the new Logitech Harmony 200 I just noticed. The Harmony 200 is shorter and does not have as many buttons. Doing a comparison at Logitech.com revealed the differences. The 300i supports 4 devices while the 200 can only do 3. The only other important difference is the Harmony 200 lacks programmable buttons. On my 300i there are a group of useful buttons below the 4 main device selection buttons towards the top and personally I've assigned functionalities....

Today when I was using my new HP Touchpad a message popped up showing that a webOS update to 3.02.68 was available from HP. The version that was on it was 3.0.0. I went ahead and let it perform the update and plugged it back into the USB charger. About half an hour later I went to check on its progress but all that showed on the Touchpad was a blank screen. Hitting the Center or Power buttons didn't do anything. Seems like it just won't boot up. Yikes!
I received my ASUS Eee Pad Transformer TF101 tablet today. It felt a litter heavier than I expected, but not too bad at all. I powered it on and after about 20 seconds it asked me to setup the language and keyboard options, and then the Wi-fi wireless settings. But oops- I use MAC address filtering so I needed to find the mac address for the Eee Pad before it could connect. I looked on the box it came with- on the bottom there was a label showing stuff such as Customer P/N, EAN,....
Just in time for Mother's Day, Casio today launched the pink Casio BG5600MOB-4 Baby-G Married to the Mob Watch. Though some moms may find the styling too aggressive and be more suited for teenagers. The BG5600MOB-4 provides the following features, in addition to the unique styling:
Trendnet today launched the TRENDnet TV-IP121WN and TV-IP110WN Wireless N Cameras. The TRENDnet TV-IP121WN offers night vision LEDs to see in the dark. Both cameras offers easy to use WPS wireless setup and the included software supports up to 32 cameras. There was no mention of resolution, however, leaving us to think that these are 640x480 cameras, especially since only MJPEG compression is supported. The TV-IP121WN will sell for around $210 and the TV-IP110WN will go for about $190. With a only $20 difference if you are deciding between these two cameras....

Casio today introduced a green version of its G-Shock watches in the Casio GR7900EW-7, GR7900EW-7 and G6900EW-7 G-Shock solar powered watches.

I got the The Weather Channel WS-9077U-IT from Amazon.com because I was tired of my other flaky weather stations. Thus far this weather station has by far the best range of any I've used. This is mainly because it uses the 900 MHz spectrum (915 MHz, to be exact). The model of the wireless sensor is TX29U. On the package it claims a 330 foot range, but I'm just happy it works in the patio of the house which is about 60 feet away from the base station with two walls in between. In....
If you have a 73 inch TV you should sit at least 7.5 feet away. With a 65/62incher you'd want to be about 6.5 feet away. If your TV is 57" then 5 and a half feet would be the minimum. With a 50 and 52" HDTV the min. distance is 5'. 47 and 46 inch TVs have a minimum viewing distance of 4.5 feet. A 42" TV (a common size for LCD TVs and Plasmas) requires you to sit at least 4 feet away. 37" TV? About 3.5 feet. With a 32" TV it'd be around 3.25 feet.
