This cable works for connecting my portable speaker to headphone jacks on multiple audio devices. It is long enough to place the speaker where I want. Best of all, it was only a couple of bucks, a lot less than any other cables.

I work from home and need a stable network connection. Shortly after purchasing, our house lost power, but work was not affected as this UPS seamlessly switched to battery backup. It works.

The Good: Overall, we are really impressed with this TV. We set out looking for a plasma TV, but went with the Sony after seeing the picture quality. To our non-videophile eyes, it looked just as good as the Panasonic plasma that we compared it to (and originally wanted to purchase). The colors, and options to adjust them, give it life like colors. The blacks are deep and don't have a noticeable "glow" in low light situations; they really seem like true blacks.
We enjoy watching sports and have not had any issues with motion blur, ghosting, or pixilation. There are settings you can adjust to create a smoother picture, but even with these turned down or off we have not run into any motion issues.
There are multiple HDMI ports that support the different HDMI standards. This is nice if you want to connect a phone/tablet as well as something else. The built-in mirror casting (DLNA) is also nice for wirelessly connecting supported devices.
The Bad: Some of the settings are buried in menus. For example, you can't just switch the picture from Cinema 1 to Sports to Standard. Instead, you have to click options and scene selection to switch between the different scenes, Cinema, Sports, etc. Then, from there, you have select whether you want Cinema 1, Cinema 2, or another type of picture setting.
The Netflix App: It has a terrible over-saturated soap-operaish picture that cannot be changed. You need to use a Roku, Apple TV, DVD/Blu-Ray player's app to get picture settings. It is a terrible app, unless you like soap-operas.
The sound is good, but limited. Let's face it, thinner TVs mean smaller, less powerful speakers. The sound is decent from the small speakers, but you do not get the detail you would get from a sound bar or larger speakers. The sound is by no means bad or super low, just limited.
The price: The price has dropped a little, but is still almost in the 4K price range. We lucked out on ours and caught a returned item. You might need to wait for a sale before picking this up.
Overall, this is a great TV if you can catch a sale.
