Hi, With only 452 subscribers, I'm not sponsored and have never been given anything to review. I've bought everything with my own money and haven't returned anything. I'm using the monitor now - see today's BBC News website here as evidence imgur.com/a/kb4IFVl You will also see that I've added a 2nd monitor - Asus portable monitor which I have found to be essential for screen-sharing for my job. I'll do a video on this and how I use the monitor soon. Since I've had the arm, it literally hasn't moved a millimeter. I haven't made any adjustments to it at all, I'm still very happy with it. I think it's high quality and reasonably priced for what it is. The only thing I had to do was bolster my desk as it had thin metal at the rear, but that's not the fault of the arm. I explained this in the video.

@@TechboyUK Thanks for the reply. Perhaps sponsored was the wrong word, I was more trying to ascertain if after you bought it, the company refunded/sent you a giftcard after your review. As I said, yours is the only review I see for this mount, not only on the 57" but, at all :D Is the monitor tilt angling downwards for you? Or do you have it perfectly flat/straight facing you? Thanks again :)

​@@TheRC2022I haven't had any communication from BEWISER, I didn't even buy it from them, I bought it from Amazon. Maybe I should reach out to them to see if they would like to send me something for review (on one of my other PC setups - e.g. dual monitor) but as I'm a small channel I doubt they would. The monitor is slightly tilting towards me (with the top closer than the bottom). This wasn't intentional, it was just when I first set it up. I keep meaning to adjust it, but haven't gotten around to it yet lol. I don't notice it in use. One thing I mentioned in my video, but I'll stress again here - you do need to tighten the Allen keys up very tight (by hand, with the supplied Allen key), but after doing so, it hasn't moved a mm 🙂

Hey there, Message me all you want, I love taking tech! Congratulations on getting the monitor. My first one was faulty (clicking noises) but my 2nd has been perfect. So I've had 2 and I don't recall either having a film on the front, only on the back. Although it was a while ago now, so maybe I've just forgotten... 🤔 When I returned my first one, I asked Samsung support if I would get a reconditioned one, they said that I would receive a new one. What actually happened is that they were out of stock, so they gave me my money back and I had to buy a new one a couple of weeks later. For screen sharing, I've ordered a 15" Asus portable monitor. My 9" tablet worked, but it was too small. The region to share program is okay, but not great. Once I get the 15", I'll make a video on screen sharing and how I use the monitor.

@@TechboyUK Fantastic Paul! Thank you as ever for taking time out to respond. You're a legend! On the monitor itself, I must admit, I've not had any troubles with it. One thing though - it looks like it had what I can only describe as "marks" - not visible to the eye - rather through pointing a flash light at the monitor when it is off - which look like were made by the packaging foam - strange! - but this had no effect on the screen - and all the tests I ran on it didn't demonstrate any issues. My Dell 5550 didn't deliver max resolution, but my desktop (w/ Nvidia A2000 12GB card) runs at full resolution @120Hz - due to Display Port 1.4 limitations. This is all fine as I'm not a gamer! I'll continue to keep an eye on your content as you've got excellent insights! Thank you once again.

The monitor can be on or off whilst you adjust it. You can do it yourself, but it's easier with 2 people.

Previous to this monitor, I had 3 monitors. 3 monitors was nice, but this is better! For work, I'm Head of SAP Technical Services for a consultancy. This monitor is fantastic for productivity: - Working with wide spreadsheets (makes life much easier!) - Project planning (MS Project and Float) - Having 3 applications open at the same time (e.g. often MS Teams, Outlook and Chrome or Chrome, PDF and PowerPoint). I usually use is as 1, 2 or 3 virtual screens, not usually more than that (sometimes I do). The only issue is with screen-sharing. I've tried the 'Region to Share' app, but it's not ideal and it doesn't work with Google Meet (which the company I work for currently uses as their primary chat tool) - it does work with MS Teams. So I'm currently using a Galaxy Tab A9 LTE (with the SuperDisplay app on Android) which works well, but is too small, so I'm going to get a 16" portable display to have on the desk behind my keyboard, just for screen sharing. At the moment, I've only used it with my work laptop - a Lenovo Thinkbook, so not powerful and no dedicated video card. It's perfectly fine though! My personal laptop died last year and the battery isn't easy to replace, so I've been waiting for the Qualcomm Elite X based laptops to come out - which they have this week. I'm now considering getting one of the initial batch and an external graphics card (over Thunderbolt) or waiting for a laptop with a graphics card built in - for gaming. Although I don't get much time to game these days with 2 young kids... I keep meaning to make more videos on my setup and how I use it - I'll try to soon!

@@TechboyUK You're an absolute legend Paul - thank you once again for taking the time to respond with great eloquence and knowledge. You're a credit to UA-cam in an age of well, the decline that comes with social media! On the use of the monitor it self, that's pretty much what I'd be looking to use it for it - i.e. productivity. I'm happy to hear that the laptop et al you use drive the monitor to, hopefully, the resolutions that you'd like / expect. Oh, may I add that once the kids get older, they'll be fighting to use this monitor I suspect, so you've been warned! 😆 Thank you again, and may you continue to make great content.

@@Cryptokat Thank you for your kind comments, you've made my day 🙂

Thank you 👍 I went for the 59" primarily because it has more vertical space, which is really useful for working with large spreadsheets and project management tools.

It was really fun. I enjoyed it as much as my kids did! It's like being in a tent, but more comfortable and you don't have to pack anything away in the morning - you just put it all into the boot and fold up the rear seats to keep it secure.

@@TechboyUK This picture is dated 2020 and the latest info from Tesla et al is that this exact area has been changed completely. No doubt we'll see it when we arrive. The barrier is why I originally asked how exit from the centre was made.

@@lawrenceharris1819 When I went, there were 'Tesla' signs, so it was easy to find. Have you watched my video where I went camping in my Tesla? That was good fun 😁 Enjoy your new Tesla!

The Ring website (Tech Specs section) en-uk.ring.com/products/video-doorbell-wired says to use DC 'You can hardwire your doorbell if you have a compatible doorbell system (8-24 VAC, 10-40VA, 50/60Hz ), or you can use Ring DIN Rail Transformer 2nd Gen (24VDC, 0.42A , 10.0W) sold separately. Doorbell chime must be bypassed.'

Thanks for your quick response But my question is still not answered Specifications itself confuses Recommended AC and DC BUT there is no marking + or - on back screws, I presume it will work on 10-24 volts AC I am from India and this unit is gifted by my daughter from USA

The first campsite I tried was part of a large chain. Their booking form didn't have specific categories - none of which fitted sleeping in a car. So I called them and they said that sleeping in a car is not allowed on any of their sites... I don't know why, as they allow campervans and if you look on UA-cam, a lot of people sleep in cars in an organised manner. So I booked with another (independent) campsite where they had the option of a pitch with electricity, so I booked that for 1 night. The next day, I booked it again and the owner called me to confirm the booking, noting that I had just stayed there. I told him that I would be sleeping in my car, explaining that I had an inflatable mattress, curtains, etc. and he was fine with that.

Thank you 👍

No, it takes about 30 minutes 👍

Hi, I'm not an electrician so can't advise on this. I suggest referring to the 'Power and Connectivity' section of en-uk.ring.com/products/video-doorbell-wired and asking in the forum at diynot.com

@@TechboyUK Thanks for the reply. I've searched the model and found it on amazon in the reviews other people have used it for the ring doorbell and its fine. So I've ordered and will fit tomorrow. Thanks again 👍🏻

@@lonegod this is everything I used kit.co/TechboyUK/ring-video-doorbell-wired-uk

@@TechboyUK yeah I had a look at that earlier. Was just confused by my transformer. Seems it muti voltage. Can be 4v 8v or 12v. People who've used it for the ring doorbell have it set to 12v. My ones already set to that. Will install tomorrow and let you know how it goes. Thanks for the help.

Live, neutral and ground.

It's low amperage, so I think it's just a coincidence. The transformer is clearly labelled and it doesn't matter which way you wire the doorbell. But I'm not an electrician, so you might want to check in www.diynot.com/diy/forums/electrics/

@@TechboyUK funnily enough my transformer wasn’t labelled other than the step down voltage part. I got the recommended BG one from screw fix, for the 240v in, I put blue to left and brown to the right ( only 2 slots) and for the cable to doorbell , one in at 0v and other at 24v .

Also would rain water getting behind the doorbell to wires and completing the circuit have an adverse effects on rest of house electrics ? It seems unlikely but wires are sealed or even fed up and into device so there’s a natural run off 🤔

​@@bgate1984 Any short circuit or power surge would trip the circuit breaker. It wouldn't affect the rest of the house.

@@TechboyUK ok matey, thanks for the quick replies 👍

Probably, but I haven't tried it. I suggest asking in www.diynot.com/diy/

1) I didn't know about the official Tesla one! 🙂 The one I have (toughleads.co.uk/collections/ev-electric-vehicle-extension-leads/products/standalone-campsite-and-industrial-socket-adaptors-compatible-with-all-evs) is cheaper, longer and connects via a 3 pin adapter, so is more versatile. 2) No, the car will alter the input automatically. You can see it in the app and on the screen. Are you planning to go camping in your Tesla? I'd love to hear how it goes 👍

Hi@@TechboyUK, for some reasons my reply comment wasn't posted yesterday. Thanks for sharing the details. I'm looking to camp and cover some nc500 areas by the end of Oct. I'm getting in touch with the campsites. Two of them have said they will charge 50p per x kw. Did you have to pay for electric charging on top of paying for the pitch for electricity?

@@Newuser-il7lw The NC500 will be great. I'd like to do it one day. My dad did it on his motorbike a few years ago. I stayed here sizewell-lettings.co.uk/ I didn't pay any extra for the electricity and it wasn't metered. It does very by each campsite though.

@@TechboyUK I tried to order tesmat privacy product but even after 2 days no response from them on any platform FB, Instagram, or email. I had to dispute the transaction via my bank which worked luckily. Their social activity is dead post 2021. Any idea about alternatives?

I removed it to make space for the transformer.

Thank you. Have a great adventure 👍

You get it for free with the Frosted Rose Gold, Icy White or Obsidian cards from Crypto.com. See my article for details techboy.medium.com/the-essential-guide-to-the-mco-visa-debit-card-from-crypto-com-61d7b2f358c9

I think my car game with about 30% charge (I mention exactly how much in my follow up video), but I had used a referral code when buying my Tesla, which gave me a lot of free charging for 6 months. Did you use a referral code? Here's mine ts.la/paul26905 they currently give you £500 off the purchase of a car. I don't know how much it currently is at Park Royal and I very rarely charge anywhere other than at home. The last Supercharger I used was at Reading on 23rd May. That cost £0.41/kWh. Enjoy the car! Check out my video on camping in the Tesla! 👍

Hi Marcos, It really is a fun way to explore the country and have a break 👍 The campsite I stayed at was only £23 per night, with electricity.

I don't know what would happen... It just might not have enough power to function properly. You could try it an upgrade the transformer if needed. BTW, the Ring Wired Doorbell doesn't support the use of the chime.

There are battery versions of the Ring Doorbell if that's your preference. I think it's less hassle to set it up once and never have to change a battery and it didn't take long to install. The only installation difference additions for wired are 1) Screwing in the 2 cables behind the doorbell 2) Possible replacement of the transformer. A lot of people who watch this video are not technical so 'Category 5' makes more sense than 'Cat 5' 🙂 Both terms are commonly used in communications including technical documents, product listings, etc.

Fully charged battery last max 2 weeks

No, it doesn't matter 👍🏻

I removed it with a screwdriver and "brute force and ignorance" as my dad would say 🤣It wasn't easy as they were held in place quite well!

Glad you found it useful.

@@TechboyUK I opened my old chime box and I have a Friedland Type 4 wiring bell box - indicating 8-16v but then says 6V - max 15W - is this sufficient do you think?

​@@dermotobrien8698 8V is ok, 6V isn't... As mentioned here support.ring.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360054984332-Installing-Ring-Video-Doorbell-Wired 'Ring Video Doorbell Wired is compatible with most standard 8 to 24 VAC doorbell transformers. When sourcing a new transformer we recommend a transformer that is 8VA minimum, and must be less than 40VA.' Whether yours is okay, I don't know as I'm not an electrician. I suggest asking in here www.diynot.com/diy/ or get the transformer I list here kit.co/TechboyUK/ring-video-doorbell-wired-uk

@@TechboyUK Thanks / ordered using your link ☺️

All worked a treat - many thanks

The wiring was simple - just the 3 wires which are clearly labelled. The only adjustment I made to them was the timing, as shown in the video 🙂

Yes it will 😊

Hi Andrew, I'm glad the video helped 😊 I don't know the answer to your question. I suggest asking in www.diynot.com/diy/

Hi Paul - many thank for getting back to me. I think your video doorbell wired requires 24V 0.42A 10W (hardwired) or 24V 0.5A 12W(plug in adapter) according to its specs, but your LED driver on the video supplies 1.25A (1250 mA) 30W. Is the door bell still working after a few months? Thanks for your help

@@andrewmcdermott2746 My doorbell has been working without any issues 😊

Fab - thanks for your help!!

Hi Paul. Many thanks for your very helpful video. As a result, my Ring door bell is set up with the new transformer housed inside the old bell + transformer box. Well pleased- thanks!!!

Hi Mark, The DC transformer is valid and has been working fine for me 😊See requirements: support.ring.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360055740151-Ring-Video-Doorbell-Wired-Information- See the kit I used here kit.co/TechboyUK/ring-video-doorbell-wired-uk

@@TechboyUK Thanks for your response and video, sir

@TechboyUK In a similar situation. Been waiting since March.

Been waiting over a year since 2022

@@paulbyford4149 update: I finally received my pack about 2 months ago

Hi Rajnees, Yes they are quite loud. On the plus side, I've had 4 of them for 5 years now and they are all still working well. The wiring was simple - just the 3 wires shown in the video. The only adjustment I made to them was the timing as shown in the video.

Have you found a more quiet fan, that even similar performs as well with 80m3/h?!? Probably not. Perhaps it's considered silent or quiet in comparison to most others with similar performance.

I hope you've got it installed and working.

@@TechboyUK yes, eventually... now next doors cat sets it off at 3 am...

You can use the Ring chimes which plug into a power socket and/or any Alexa devices and/or your mobile phone. See kit.co/TechboyUK/ring-video-doorbell-wired-uk

I've just done a quick Google on this and can't see any articles relating to it. The chime box will have an existing wired connection, so it's easier, more convenient and cheaper to use that. If you want to use the ring battery pack, it's probably best to do that with one of the Ring doorbells that are officially supported for it. If you don't have access to wired power, it would be better to get one of the other Ring doorbells and add solar charging en-uk.ring.com/collections/accessories

@@TechboyUK my setup is the same as yours. I have the ring doorbell pro 2, so can I just add the battery as I wanted to use the chime box?. It did come with a transformer aswell in the box.

@@lethalno1 I don't know :-) I suggest asking the Ring support team support.ring.com/hc/en-gb

If you mean the old doorbell chime then no, you can't use that with the Ring Doorbell. The 'chimes' come through Alexa devices and your mobile phone. I have listed some Alexa devices and Ring Chimes in kit.co/TechboyUK/ring-video-doorbell-wired-uk

I haven't looked into the Pro, but it's probably the same process. Just check the power requirements of the transformer and get the version you need. kit.co/TechboyUK/ring-video-doorbell-wired-uk
