What’s the difference between the Tile Mate and Sticker?

The Tile Mate and Tile Sticker are both finders/trackers designed to help you locate lost items. So, what are the differences between these models?

You can find out in this comparison for the Tile products.

Quick Summary

When compared to the Tile Sticker Finder, the Tile Mate Finder has better coverage range and can product a louder volume level. The Mate model also features a replaceable battery as you can simply change out the CR1632 battery instead of having to buy a brand-new finder.

On the other hand, the Tile Sticker Finder is better protected against water. Although it doesn’t not use a replaceable battery, the Sticker model does feature a longer battery life and is eligible for the reTile program that will let you purchase a new finder at a discount.

Overall, we recommend getting the Tile Mate Finder if you want the best tracking device and/or the ability to use a replaceable battery.

If you want better water protection and/or a longer battery life, than the Tile Sticker Finder may be the better option. You should keep in mind that you will have to replace the Sticker model once it runs out of battery.

The two devices have the same operating temperature range.

What’s the difference between the Crucial X8 and Samsung T7?

by Kevin Chen

If you are looking for an external solid state drive, you may run into the Crucial X8 and Samsung T7 during your search. So, what are the main differences between these two portable storage drives?

You can find out in this comparison guide for the external SSDs.

Quick Summary

The Crucial X8 and Samsung Portable T7 Solid State Drive use the same USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface in addition to being able to connect to USB Type-A and USB Type-C ports.

The two SSDs also have the same maximum sequential reading speed, which should lead to similar loading times and transfer speeds.

Compatible fixed mount

If you are looking for a mount to simply keep your U6G, U7G, U8G or U9DG in a fixed position, then we recommend getting the MI-305B Low-Profile TV Wall Mount from Mount-It.

With this mounting bracket, your Hisense television will be sitting at just 1” away from the wall. As a result, your TV will barely stick out. A slide-in security bar is also included to prevent your television from being stolen (you do need a padlock, which is not included, however).

The MI-305B has a VESA mount range of 100 mm x 100 mm to 750 mm x 450 mm. It should be able to hold weights of up to 175 pounds. Therefore, it should be compatible with all the screen sizes of the U6G, U7G, U8G and U9DG.

This Mount-It product can be installed on a brick wall, concrete wall in addition to wall with studs that are 8″, 16” or 24” apart. You can also adjust the height of your 2021 Hisense TV after installing the mount of the wall.

Compatible tilt mount

Tilting you U6G, U7G, U8G or U9DG will help eliminate screen glares and give you better viewing angles. If you are interested in getting this feature, then we recommend taking a look at the EGLT3 Tilting TV Wall Mount from ECHOGEAR.

When used with this mount, your 2021 Hisense television set will be sitting at 2.3” away from the wall. This will give you space to tilt your screen at a maximum of 10 degrees.

The EGLT3 has a weight capacity limit of 135 pounds in addition to supporting a VESA mounting range of 200 mm x 100 mm to 600 mm x 400 mm. Therefore, this product should work with every screen size from the U6G, U7G, U8G and U9DG series.

The EGLT3 can be put on concrete walls, walls with studs that are spaced 16” apart and walls with studs that are spaced 24” apart. If your Hisense TV ends up looking off balanced, you can re-level it post-installation.

You can purchase our recommend tilt mount for the U6G, U7G, U8G and U9DG, if you are interested, on Amazon via the following link:

ECHOGEAR Tilting TV Wall Mount (EGLT3)(#CommissionsEarned)

If you want to watch your U6G, U7G, U8G or U9DG from many different viewing arrangements, then you should consider getting a swiveling mount. If you are interested, then we recommend checking out the VLF728-B2 Premium Full Motion TV Wall Mount from Sanus.

With this product, you will be able to extend your 2021 Hisense television set from 2.15” to 28” away from the wall. The long extension will let you swivel your screen up to 57 degrees to the left or up to 57 degrees to the right.

With this Sanus Systems mount, you can also tilt your display at a maximum of 15 degrees downwards as well as a maximum of 5 degrees upwards. Furthermore, you can even roll your TV at up to 5 degrees.

The VLF728-B2 supports up to 125 pounds in addition to a VESA Mount range of 200 mm x 200 mm to 600 mm x 400 mm. So, it should be compatible with all screen size options of the U6G, U7G, U8G and U9DG.
