Yes, this is episode 2100! The Giz Wiz Show is one of the longest running podcasts ever!

We kick off the show as the Giz Wiz has to solve a computer monitor failure.

Buying A New Computer Monitor In An Emergency!

Getting ready to update my website with lots of photos and info on the Giz Wiz show we just recorded, my HP 22″ computer monitor failed. But it wasn’t unexpected since I used it almost daily for more than 9 years. But I needed a new monitor right away. On this week’s show you hear the story of buying a computer I expected to get delivered in a matter of hours from Amazon. It’s the Sceptre  22-Inch Gaming Monitor, FHD 1920 x 1080p, Up to 144Hz, 2 HDMI Ports, Display Port, Built-in Stereo Speakers. It’s the E225W-FW144 Series, 2026. And to protect your eyes and enhance your comfort Sceptre says it has Blue-Light Shift technology. I have say for the price, it does a very decent job. I will replace it with a 4K monitor at some point, but for now it’s working fine for me. For such a low-priced monitor, it did very well in the ratings, with 4.5 out of 5 stars from over 800 reviews.

As of July 11^th, it was $64.97 on Amazon.

Chad’s new Cheap Gadget Theme for July, as voted on by our loyal Patreons is Key Chain Gadgets!

Chad’s second keychain gadget is actually two different ways to tackle the usual nail

breaking chore of putting keys or other gadgets on a key ring.

First up is the Nite IZE Gated Key Ring. This Stainless Steel Split Ring Alternative did well in the ratings earning 4.4 stars out of 5 from more than 620 reviewers. But watch this week’s see how it worked for Chad.

A pair of them was just $6.98 on Amazon on 7/10/26.

Chad’s second key ring is the TISUR Titanium Keychain Ring.

These are split side push key rings for your key chain. The company says “just pushing the Black titanium key ring to the side allows for super fast key ring manipulation.” Is that true? Watch Chad’s review on this week’s show. A pair of them was $9.99 on Amazon on 7/10/26.

Letter of the week:

Hey Dick De & Chad!

Thanks for showing my video last week for the eyeglasses temple hooks. However, it seems the carousel that I keep my eyeglasses on stole the video!

They don’t seem to make the exact one that I have any more, but there are several on Amazon that are close. They even have a two-tiered model (which I think I’m ready for).
