News13 Segment Posted – Tech Products for the Desktop from Logitech!

For the Segment April 01in Studio, Andy Taylor of @TechtalkRadio Focused on Products to give some help at the Desk! While many have returned to In Office Working, the landscape has changed and have found the benefits of Remote Collaborations and Conversations using technology.

During the Pandemic as many of us shifted to Working from Home and Virtual Meetings with Webcams, we found many companies were ready for Video Conferences and there was a run on even the most basic cameras. One of the companies that continued to produce quality webcams is Logitech. They make great products for the home user, education and gamer and have added focus for business.

We are sharing a couple of products they have introduced, All New is the Logitech MX Brio 4K, This step up from the 2017 Brio features ultra HD 4k resolution video, Logitechs largest webcam sensor giving you a sharper picture even in Lower Light. AI image enhancement is a part of bringing that quality to user – It features a Dual Microphone Sensor with Excellent Noise Reduction and options through the Logitech G Hub Software. It will integrate with the popular communication programs like Skype, teams and Zoom and even features a Privacy Shutter! It Retails for about 199.00

Sound is also a part of the Equation and as a radio host I wear headphones for upwards of 5 to 8 hours a day, these are the most comfortable headphones I have worn. The Logitech Zone 2 Wireless headphones are amazing. Hear remote participants clearly, even if they are in a noisy environment. Switch on Advanced Call Clarity and your conversation can be clearer with Four noise-canceling mics suppress sound from nearby conversations, pets, even AC, Zone Wireless 2 gets up to 15 hours of talk time or 22 hours of listening time, 5 minutes of charging can provides up to 1 hour of talk time, They are super comfortable.

One of the Common issues is when a printer hasn’t been used for an extended period and the Ink Heads Can become clogged.

For that student that would like to print the projects, have color and faster print times. We take a look at the Epson ET-2850. The Printer features the popular Eco-Tank which will generally see a higher Point on the printer but in the long run provide an easy solution and lower cost for refillable ink for those printing lots of products. A difference in cost for priting can be a 90% savings.

Users can also print over the Internet to the printer. We were extremly please with the output quality whether on Photo Glossy or plain paper, it looks great.
