Are Xbox Cloud Gaming Servers Down

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This serves as my work-from-home monitor and is also used for gaming and watching TV when not working. The available apps cover all my streaming needs, the picture quality is excellent. There is also an option to use the latest game streaming services (Xbox Cloud Gaming, Amazon Luna, or Google Stadia [though this service has been recently discontinued]). The built-in speakers are even pretty good. Especially considering what you typically get with a monitor. You can also connect Bluetooth speakers and have the TV route audio through it instead. The remote works very well and has some quick launch buttons for the more common streaming apps as well. It may take a little getting used to, at first. Since it doesn't really have "input" switching buttons. Instead, you navigate to the different types of devices that you have connected (or apps installed). So, when you're wanting to play Xbox, you would go to the gaming section on the home screen and select either the physical Xbox that's connected or launch the Xbox Cloud app to stream games. My only real complaint with this monitor is that the stand isn't adjustable. I'd like to raise it just slightly higher. It is at a pretty good height, but I would like it just a little higher for my personal preference.

I don’t do any major work on this CPU. I do some graphic design, gaming on XBOX game pass, and some work. Great overall performance. Graphics struggled a little streaming Starfield with cloud gaming, but still very playable. I had an occasional glitch/lag but that could have also been the stream from XBOX cloud gaming. Everything else has been solid!

I have over 48 devices connected to this router including Xbox, three blade servers and this router doesn't even blink an eye when it comes to performance. This router is over kill for the regular person but if you high performance and run a lot of devices then this is the router for you.

I wanted a local storage solution for our Photo Archives even though we have networked and cloud-based servers. With its mirrored RAID configuration I'm confident we won't lose any images. The Thunderbolt interface is fast and having USB 3.0 makes it flexible. A while back we had our company servers (and backup servers) crash and would have lost 15-20 years worth of images if it hadn't been for our local archives. So I kind of swear by these now.

Used this to connect 3 gaming systems to a single HDMI input on TV. TV only has two inputs so left Xbox One X direct connected and used the switch for Xbox 360, Xbox One and Switxh. Works well. Bonus, it has a remote IR sensor so unit can be hidden and switching can be done remotely. Works well with USB power supplied by TV.
