Outstanding value for a big screen 4K TV

I was amazed to see this 65" 4K TV on a one day special for just $599 at Best Buy. I grabbed it, even though I had just purchased a 55" 1080 TV a little over a year ago. I wasn't sure how much better the picture would be since almost everything I watch is still just 1080p or lower resolution, so I set up the new Toshiba next to my existing 55" 1080p TV and watched over-the-air HD content on both from just 6 feet back. You could easily see the better resolution on the larger Toshiba TV so it must do some upscaling. The colors are bright and nicely saturated with deep blacks. I haven't done a full calibration on it but it can only get better.
I like the Googlecast feature once I set it up on my iPhone. The TV will display a nice rotating selection of artwork if you don't have anything else playing on Googlecast. I am looking forward to learning more about the options available in Googlecast.
The remote is very minimal (no buttons to select TV channels when watching over-the-air, just an up/down channel choice, but since most will use their cable controller this is probably not a big issue.

Excellent screen, powerful processor

I was delighted to find this All-in-one Core i5 Dell with 24" touch screen on sale at Best Buy. It is a beautifully designed PC with great speakers, wireless keyboard and wireless mouse - perfect for use when you have limited space but want more than a laptop. Big hard drive (1 TB) and plenty of RAM (12 GB) Windows 10 works fine. My only complaint is the lack of detailed owner's manuals, either printed or stored as PDF files. I went to the Dell website and downloaded them but they should have been included. I haven't really used the touch screen feature yet but I believe it will be useful eventually.

Office Space is just a classic. Every office worker who has lived with obnoxious bosses, downsizing reviews and annoying co-workers will love this movie. If you haven't seen it buy this movie today. If you have seen it, buy this movie today so that you can watch it again!

Action-Packed and Very Clever

Great movie, filled with inside jokes. Deadpool is one of Marvel's best characters and this version makes lots of references to other Marvel movies as well as to Green Lantern (Ryan Reynolds previous superhero movie) There is even a Ferris Bueller riff in the closing credits.
Well worth the cost of the DVD!

Bring together your analog and digital music collection with this 2-channel Sony receiver. Its phono input lets you hook up a record player directly, and its Bluetooth capability allows convenient wireless streaming from compatible devices. This Sony receiver has a built-in power amplifier for clear, distortion-free sound, and the rigid chassis minimizes vibration.
Can i hook up a sony active subwoofer sa-cs9 to this receiver.If yes how?I would rather use an rca jack to the out put jacks on the receiver since it doesn't have a dedicated subwoofer out.Would this work?since the speaker has 1 input and the amp has 2.
I do not believe that you can effectively connect a sub-woofer to this receiver. The speaker outputs are designed for full-range audio, not just the lower frequencies. There is a headphone output but it is also designed to give full audio range. Frankly, you will get much better bass sound from it by just attaching classic big stereo speakers with a large woofer.

Can i use this receiver with my Sony PS-LX250H turn table and connect this receiver via bluetooth to my LG SJ9 soundbar for sound?
Yes, you can connect your turntable to this receiver. However, the Bluetooth connection is inbound only. It is not designed to connect the receiver to external speakers.

Enjoy rapid downstream and upstream data with this ARRIS SURFboard SBG6700AC wireless gateway, which features up to 1600 Mbps throughput and front-panel LED lights for simple troubleshooting. The Wi-Fi pairing button makes it easy to connect.
I already have an Arris Modem, can this modem/router combo be used as a wifi router only since I already have a modem?
You would not need the cable modem you already have if you buy this device. If you really like that cable modem you would be better off buying a wireless router with AC technology. It would probably be less expensive than this unit. However, if you want to eliminate the clutter of two devices this is a good solution.

Does is do both 2.0 and 5 or is it switched dual band
Yes, this will broadcast both a 2.4 GHz and a 5 GHz wireless signal at the same time. You can set up different SSID (network names) and different passwords for each. Or, you can use the built-in load balancing technology which shifts devices between the two bands. The latter approach uses a single SSID and just one password.

The Shark ION Robot is designed with a Tri-Brush System, combining side brushes, channel brushes, and a multi-surface brushroll to handle debris on all surfaces, corners, and edges. Use the SharkClean app or voice control with Alexa or Google Assistant to start cleaning from anywhere Shark ION Robot.
My wife and I have cell phones. I just bought the 750. Can the app work on two separate Iphones with the same Shark Ion Robot? Also, is it possible to obtain a remote for the 750?
As far as using two phones to control the Shark ION 750, I would just download the app to both phones and test that. I don't see any reason that you would have a problem connecting to it from both phones. Essentially you are linking to a wireless device through your network so you should be able to do that with multiple devices. For example, you can also control it with Alexa and Google Home.
As far as getting a remote, I don't think it possible. The vacuum connects to your network. Most remotes use infrared beams to send information to devices and I don't think the Shark ION 750 is capable of receiving control messages via infrared.

What is the noise level of this machine, please? I'm doing comparisons on brands and one brand stated, by several users, that theirs were very loud. Thank you
I felt that the Shark ION 750 was pretty quiet. I would compare its noise to my Norelco shaver - pretty quiet. You certainly would have no problem watching TV or listening to music while the vacuum was working.

How well does the S.I.R. manage transitions between carpet and hardwood? Mine are sloped transitions up to 3/4 inch tall, can it navigate sloped transitions between rooms?
I have thresholds which are about 3/4" tall and the Shark ION 750 had no problem driving over them. I don't think that you will encounter any issues with your transitions.

Is the amazon fire as good as the kindle fire
They are the same product. Every Fire tablet is also a Kindle reader.
The newest 10" 7th generation Fire HD tablet is a great Kindle reader and I bought it primarily for that feature.

Is there a cover for this? Does it come with
No, the 10" Fire HD tablet does not come with a cover. You can buy a good one made for Amazon at Best Buy for about $40. But you can also find generic covers that fit fine for far less. The only issue is the wait time for the cheaper covers.
