My Gateway Computer Screen Is Black

The gateway to paradise

This is my second APC Black-UPS. My first one is still going after four years, and not one problem. This UPS has every thing you need for a computer station. I always get a great price from APC.COM.

My new computer has one HDMI and one DisplayPort output and I have two monitors I want to use.� This DisplayPort cable lets me use the second monitor now.� The 3' length is more than enough without having extra coiled up. My screen is 2056x1080.� Since this cable is 4K rated, it works great for my extra wide but not 4K large screen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My monitor is used for both work and home tasks. For work it is amazing for multi-tasking. I used to have two separate screens that took up more space and had less resolution. This single screen enables me to be on a Teams call on one screen while reviewing my emails at the same time or easily copy figure from one spread sheet to another etc. I can also be working on items with my work computer and have another screen open from my personal computer. And with all this comes a bright, high-resolution screen. This monitor has made me more efficient and made my life easier and more enjoyable.

My working computer is a MacBook Pro 13 2017 4-port. I am learning video editing and needed more screen real estate.  After researching prices for quality 4k monitor prices for my laptop, this iMac was only a few hundred $ more, and you have a new computer to boot.  This machine is blazingly fast compared to my MacBook, and verified when checked with geekbench's free version, which is to be expected with a newer machine, and the screen is beautiful.  My only complaint is with Apple not making the wireless keyboard with the same size keys and spacing as a MacBook. Going back and fourth between machines, as I do in my daily workflow, I find my fingers overshoot on the smaller wireless keyboard. The new Trackpad has some of the same feel issues as well. See my separate review.

I actually bought this at a bed & bath store with a coupon. I really like it. It is sturdy and very well made. The screen is a good size, very visible and produces a reasonably good picture. It is also very easy to use. I haven't tried to edit any of the pictures yet, but most of these products use the same software--ArcSoft PhotoImpressions 6. My only complaint, and it seems to be the same with most of these converter products; and I have had others, is that the power cord/USB cable is fairly short making it difficult to go any distance away from a flat surface. My only disappointment, and it's not the fault of the manufacturer or the product is that I wanted a converter where I can view the pictures right on my computer screen as I slide them through. I thought this one would do that, but it requires an extra step. It will hold up to 32 MB in it's internal memory, but once that is full, you will need to either copy the pictures onto your hard drive or from the converter onto a SD card and then into your computer. Thus, the extra step. But if that isn't a problem for you, then it's well worth purchasing. I do like it and think it's a great product for the money and does what it is intended to do.

Is great overall but just makes you tired and glitches / screen turns black.

It does the job. Use it to clean my lenses and computer screen.
