The Company just put out a new Wyze Air Purifier. Shawn says one of the keys is to ask other parents you know which technology works for them, As far as Baby Monitor, Shawn has the Infant Optics Baby Monitor. Shawn gets the opportunity to upgrade his Graphics card to the very hard to find 30 Series Nvidia Graphics based Card. Shawn tells us about the jump from a 1050 to a 3060 Series at around $350. Andy recently purchased a Samsung Odyssey CRG9 Monitor to replace his two 27-inch monitors on his desktop. The Experience unfortunately wasn't the greatest after returning one of them then getting another also defective. Lots of Time and fuel spent he decided to give up and stick with the 2 27' monitors for now. Andy does like what he was able to experience in the look and desktop feel and more than likely will give it another shot. Coming out April 20th, Postal 4 - No Regerts will be available on Steam.

Congrats to Shawn and Kailyn! Andy has decided to take a look at a new trend in replacing a double monitor situation and opting for a Ultra-Wide. There are several manufacturers on the market from Asus to Dell to Scepter and Samsung. Andy reached out to Samsung to see if he could get a look at one for the TV Segment on KMSB Fox 11 yet deciding which to look at was number one and finally Samsung had no inventory available. There are a handful of different ones available each having different features as Andy has decided this may be a great solution to purchase. Justin and Andy talk about the differences between 1080 and 1440, 120hz and 144hz to 240hz. Also, some have commented in Product Chats that while the Curve of the 49" screen is great, the Dimensions from top to bottoms are small then a standard 27" on the desktop, depending on the manufacturer. What are some other considerations with gaming on these larger screens? We tackle some of these questions. Justin gets himself the new Asus Router, upgrading from a Juniper Switch and shares what he loves about it and some of what he isn't overly happy with. Andy takes on a Digital Conversion process and talks about the Victrola 7 in 1 Turntable which has some great features and a USB Connection for recording onto a PC or Mac. The guy’s wax poetic on the Technics 1200 which was a mainstay in nightclubs and mobile DJs for many years.

Justin isn't entirely happy that the game won't be broadcast in 4K and shares his reasons why he feels it should be. Shawn breaks down some of the needs when broadcasting a Sporting Event in 4k and the Cost to equip the production crew. This year will present many commercials for products featuring a wide range of celebrities which is one of the extras Andy is focused on. The guys talk about the rise in many to look at Apps and Websites that allow in some states to wager on the game and believe new allowances for some this year, wagering will be open to many consumers. Listener Ana sends in a Question about wanting to upgrade her 6-year-old Motorola Android device and looks for what could be a possible replacement. Justin responds with his experience with the Google Pixel 6 and why this would be a good upgrade. Listener Mike also wants some suggestions on the possibility of building a Gaming Streaming PC that could be built for around $1000. Shawn believes it can be done with some reservations and looks at PC Parts Picker as a source. Andy talks about his Recent Custom build and how on a recent visit to Costco found a comparable system in Speed and Cost for almost the same price point offered a much higher end graphics card, the RTX3060. This reminds many of the trend of people buying systems and pulling the graphics cards and reselling the new build with a lower graphics card to make the difference. Justin decides he is going to pass on his Pre-Order of the Valve Steam-Deck and tells us why and what he bought instead?
