Using this with an M1 MacMini and really like having all the extra ports readily available on my desk. This was the most affordable _real_ TB dock (not a USB C dock) I could find. Look forward to the day when when I have multiple TB computers and can just plug this dock in to one or another and not have to recable every connection.
Came with a 19 inch TB3 cable which I wasn't expecting, but appreciated to receive. Power brick is larger and heavier than any of my laptop ones.
The only nit-picky complaint I've had so far is with the Optical Toslink: it won't do 5.1. Stuck with 2CH PCM, can't get Dolby Digital or DTS to go out via bitstream. To be fair, I've only tried this on Mac (and I've had issues getting other hardware doing this that work on PC): assume it's using a cheap USB based DAC internally. I've got an old speaker setup that rely on compressed audio for multi channel so this won't be an issue for most.
The last thing I wanted to mention is that people claim TB3 speeds are 40 Gbps - that's not functionally true for a device. There's 8 Gbps dedicated to DisplayPort leaving 32 Gbps for data. So with the way data is packed, even with the fastest NVME (wish that had an internal NVME slot!): your max speed is going to be ~3 GB / sec. That's a limitation of the TB3 standard, not this device.
If you need a TB dock, this is great and the best one I could find in price / performance ratio.

The poles are the diameter of my pinky finger and come in 4 sections. Top has a plastic cap, bottom has a threaded hole for the adjustable leveling feet, and 2 middle sections - uses a double threaded connector to attach together.
Bought 2 to combine into a taller unit. Gets a bit wobbly above 5 ft due to the pole size. Wish it used the same sized poles as the standard more industrial wire shelving. Shelves are recessed so things won't roll off (might miss that fact in the pictures) and the gauge of steel is appropriate.
The bottom shelf has an extra foot to support additional weight that requires it be set at the height shown in the picture (you can remove the foot if you want to adjust the shelf). As the feet stick out a bit on the floor you can't get this flush against the wall which is a bit annoying: it needs to be that way for stability.
It is what it is and it does it well.

Has a PC Sync port for external flash so you don't loose your hot shoe completely! This is just the controller (aka Transmitter) for your flash(es). You need to buy Receiver(s) separately to put on your flash(es) and they need to be the ones with the LCD screens - not the cheaper 'dumb ones' (as they use a completely different wireless signal). Out of stock for Receivers here so had to get from China, took a while but worth it.

Use this to clean my Deep Fryer. Use distilled water and don't overfill. Very happy.

Had an old drive that never worked for me. Realized it was a M2 drive and I had been trying an NVME adapter. Got this and the drive worked. It's confusing with the M2 / NVME + B/B&M key, but this does exactly what it is supposed to do.

Sub-Par: Not worth full price.
Instructions neglect mentioning adding the 4 screws to attach pole to base. You need additional tools as the mini wrench is only for the wheels (not the nuts, I used: 9, 10 & 11 mm wrenches here) and the Allen wrench only works on half the bolts (there are multiple sized ones).
The VESA mounting plate would be fine for smaller (& lighter) screens as it has both 70x70mm & 100x100mm sizing. It advertises a max of 200x200mm because it includes some ears you can add on.
Both the VESA plate and the added ears are not made of a suitable gauge of steel: I bent mine when installing. I was trying to put an old TV on this - it is 58 lbs (so it fits in the advertised weight of 77 lbs max) - and that's how it bent. Even taking the ears off (so less leverage) I'm able to bend the VESA plate with my hands.
Any TV from the past 5 years would work nicely with this: since they are so much lighter. It is listed as being 'heavy duty construction' - it is not. Have other mounts from PrimeCables that are much higher quality.
The wheels are nice (all 4 have brakes) and even with the top heavy TV I was using I never was worried with it tipping over. The 2 words to summarize: disappointing & frustrating.

These don't come with any mounting screws which is why I'm deducting a star. For the cheaper D-Cut inserts (that have to be soldered) I wouldn't expect any, but these are 4 times the price so yeah - I expect a pair of mount screws.
Using "flat head" M3 screws + nuts (6mm length, 4mm wasn't long enough) to mount to my patch panel.

Came with a package of (4) M6 screws and cage nuts for mounting. That was a nice surprise, as I didn't see it listed anywhere... but kinda weird as computer/ network racks use cage nuts, AV racks generally don't.
Only complaint is with the limited selection of D-Cut inserts that PrimeCables sells currently. I'd like to buy RCA, BNC, USB, HDMI, Ethernet, etc... inserts from you!

Just have to solder it which I don't like doing. Bought a lot of cable, hence have a lot to solder. Great cable though.

They['re cage nuts, they are long enough, threads are good. Bought some rack mount hardware and didn't realize it didn't accept cage nuts until I went to install these. They did install great when using rack mounts that actually took cage nuts.

Bought it not to use as a desk, but as a work bench. My miter saw, routing table and other stuff are all at different heights. Saw this and realized it was exactly what I wanted. Went with the manual so I could leave it in the garage and also because figured the sawdust would be less likely to affect a manual crank than an electric motor.
Crank is nice and smooth!
For anyone with pre-teens that will likely keep growing to 6 feet, this is a great base to slap a top onto and it can grow with them.

It's been 9 months since I received this, it's barely been turned on and already there's a dead pixel. What really disappointed me was after mounting it just once - one of the internal nuts that accepts the VESA mount machine screws just started turning internally! When I went to redo the mounting I couldn't remove the machine screw because the internal nut just kept spinning with it.
Grabbed a reciprocating saw and cut the machine screw off. If the dead pixel had appeared by then I'd have just attempted to send this TV back. I'm writing this review on the PrimeCables 27' curved gaming monitor which has been perfect since purchasing 18 months ago (used for hours every day). It's obviously the 3rd party manufactures commitment to quality which is at issue here.
As an inexpensive 43" TV the colours are a slightly bit off (requires tuning) so that's not surprising. The one thing I didn't notice when I order it is that the IR receiver sticks out on the bottom right hand side: only by about 1.5 cm.
Disappointed enough to leave a 2 star review, but for the price I paid not angry enough to attempt to return it.

The description didn't mention that it came with 4 rack mount screws - nice surprise.
When it arrived it was missing 4 of the little screws attaching the XLRs to the rack. Found one loose in the packaging. The others had fallen out somewhere before I got it (packaging bag has a pair of the pre made holes in it so that's how they fell out). Had to tighten a couple others.
Would deduct only 1/2 star for missing screws, but reviews here are full stars, so it has to lose a full one: 4/5

1) This FreeSync monitor is also G-Sync Compatible! Haven't seen anyone mention that yet. Tested out using the pendulum test on the DisplayPort (DP) connection, HDMI wasn't G-Sync Compatible. https://www.nvidia.com/coolstuff/demos#!/g-sync
2) Looks like only the DP connection can do the 144 fps. HDMI seems locked to 60 fps.
3) Colours are noticeably washed out.
4) Came with a DisplayPort cable in the box. Website only stated an HDMI cable was included (it was).
5) "Joystick" menu access isn't the most user friendly, but you'll get use to it.
6) If using each input for a different computer: when I turn off my Mac (over DP) the monitor switches back to my Windows computer (which is using the HDMI input) automatically.
7) Once the last signal being sent to this monitor stops it goes into power saving mode after about 15 sec. As soon as a signal is sent the monitor wakes up (no need to hit the power button on the monitor).
8) The picture on the website is exaggerated to show off the curve of the screen. I've always thought curved displays were a gimmick. The curve here is so slight it's barely noticeable.
9) Has a 10*10 VESA mount. AS ALL MONITORS SHOULD! Many cheaper competitor models omit this. It's so limiting not to have a VESA mount... why would I ever buy a monitor so cheap as to ignore such an important standard!
My 5 star review is based on the functionality / price scale. G-Sync Combatability and the included DisplayPort cable are nice, but the washed out colours hold this monitor back. I gave it 5 stars because of the rounding from G-Sync. Also the fact I bought it on a good sale. The positives outweighed the negatives at that price. If not on sale, this monitor is not quite a 4 in 2019.
