The warehouse spot is a bit different this week. Why? Because The Giz Wiz (you’ve heard of him, right?) has this week’s Dick’s Gadget Warehouse Video!
Yes, I demonstrate how an old AOC USB monitor saved the day by being able to replace the failing screen of a big laptop computer. It’s 11 years old, but when plugged in, worked perfectly. (Well, after thinking about it for about 45 seconds.) Here’s a bit of info from the original March 2012 post: I connected one end of the included USB cable into the built-in USB port on the monitor and the other end into my computer. The single USB cable receives both power and signal for a true plug-and-play connection. And after a few minutes my AOC monitor came to life. I took one program from my main screen and using the “extend right” software control, slid it over the new screen. I just about doubled my screen space! The monitor offers impressive image quality with a 1366 x 786 resolution. The actual screen size is 15.6” viewable image size, diagonal. The hardware is enabled by DisplayLink’s DL-125 chip. (AOC still makes a wide variety of USB monitors, including a new USB-C plug & play model.

We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show! Here’s what we’re looking for! Your home shot video – 2 to 3 minutes long, in any of the following categories:
I bought a piece of crap: Did you buy something you ended up hating? We won’t get you a refund, but we might be able to give a platform to vent your disappointment. Remember, “family friendly” language applies.
–
I invented this! Did you invent something? (Or did a friend or relative invent something.) We can’t market it for you, but we can help get the word out. Show us what it is, and how it works. Even if it’s a prototype, you can get our (and the audience) reactions. No professional ads please.
–
My Gadget Warehouse: Okay, so you don’t have a warehouse. It doesn’t matter. Just tell us about your favorite old gadget(s). When and where you bought it, and why you’re still hanging on to it.
–
My Favorite Gadget (favorite old, or favorite new): Show us what it is, tell us what it does and why you love, or loved it! It can be a new gadget you just bought too.
–
Post them on YouTube and send us the link! We’ll do the rest. (Or possibly nothing, but that’s unlikely.) Remember, videos should be just 2 to 3 minutes long! Low production value is fine, but we should be able to hear you and see you! If we select and show your video on The Giz Wiz you’ll earn a tiny amount of fame (hopefully). And if you live in the US, you’ll also get an autographed 38+ year old Alfred E. Neuman picture and a MAD surprise (most likely the current issue of MAD.) But no matter where you live outside of US, I can autograph an Alfred E. Neuman photo to you, scan it & email you a high res copy if we show your video. Just print it out, frame it, or just hang it up and no one will know it’s a copy. We’ve tested it out and fans say they look terrific! If you submitting warehouse videos for a second, third time, etc., you’ll get the current issue of MAD as a thank you.
All show submissions go to mail@gizwiz.tv

Email of the week
From: Dell Neal – A little update on the pazazz pizza oven
Hey good day Chad and Dickie D, yeah I’m just addressing what Chad said last week I think he might believe it’s a bigger unit than it is, it is slightly bigger than a toaster without the pizza tray on it.. And it can handle pizzas up to 12 inches.. And right now my favorite thing to make on it is quesadillas, it does an excellent job at melting the cheese & getting the crust nice and crusty, I just really enjoy this this is one of my favorite products I have purchased and I see why it gets almost a five star on Amazon..
