Inkvestment

I bought this after my Epson printer stopped working. Epson or Brother are usually my go to's for printers. After using this for about a month, I am impressed. The last Brother I had was a B&W laser, which was awesome. This printer sips ink and provides amazing quality prints, even photos. It tends to be a little slow if your using Inkjet paper, but overall, I definitely recommend this printer.

I bought this because the Microsoft Band 2 was discontinued. Among all the smartwatches out there, this is the closest replacement there is. I just wish the UI was a little more responsive.

Buyer Beware!!!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this movie to play on my XBOX One S with my new Sony 4K HDR TV. The 4K copy in this package did not play at all. I had to contact Paramount to set up an exchange, granted it was free of charge, but it took about two-three weeks after buying the movie before I could watch it. The other two Star Trek 4K movies did not have this problem and worked flawlessly.

Perfect companion to XBOX
on February 13, 2017
Posted by: Curt
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this remote because my controller batteries were depleting so much when I used them to do anything on my XBOX. I use it just as much for watching shows and movies as I do playing games, so I needed something that I could use instead of my controllers. This controller is perfect for using just to navigate. It lights up when you move it, so also perfect at night when you need to pause/play/rewind/forward whatever it is your watching. HIGHLY recommend if you use your XBOX as your main media console.

The greatest adventure of all time begins with Star Trek, the incredible story of a young crew's maiden voyage onboard the most advanced starship ever created the U.S.S. Enterprise. On a journey filled with action, comedy and cosmic peril, the new recruits must find a way to stop an evil being whose mission of vengeance threatens all of mankind. The fate of the galaxy rests in the hands of bitter rivals. One, James Kirk (Chris Pine), is a delinquent, thrill-seeking Iowa farm boy. The other, Spock (Zachary Quinto), was raised in a logic-based society that rejects all emotion. As fiery instinct clashes with calm reason, their unlikely but powerful partnership is the only thing capable of leading their crew through unimaginable danger, boldly going where no one has gone before.

I bought this movie for watching on my XBOX One S and my Sony 4K HDR TV. It was awesome. I decided to buy Star Trek as my first HDR movies because I'm a big fan of the franchise. If you are to, I highly recommend.

Ash vs Evil Dead, a 10-episode, half-hour series, is the long-awaited follow-up to the classic horror film franchise The Evil Dead. The series follows Ash, the stock boy, aging lothario and chainsaw-handed monster hunter who has spent the last 30 years avoiding responsibility, maturity and the terrors of the Evil Dead. When a Deadite plague threatens to destroy all of mankind, Ash is finally forced to face his demons -personal and literal. Destiny, it turns out, has no plans to the unlikely hero from it's InchEvilInch grip. The cast is led by Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams, Lucy Lawless as Ruby a mysterious figure who believes Ash is the cause of the Evil outbreaks, Ray Santiago as Pablo Simon Bolivar, an idealistic immigrant who becomes Ash's loyal sidekick, Dana DeLorenzo as Kelly Maxwell, a moody wild child trying to outrun her past and Jill Marie Jones as Amanda Fisher, a disgraced Michigan State Trooper set to find our anti-hero Ash and prove his responsibility in the grisly murder of her partner. The series is executive produced by Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert, and Bruce Campbell, the original filmmakers of the franchise, and Craig DiGregorio (InchChuckInch), who serves as executive producer and showrunner.

This series is campy, horror, and funny... sometimes. It's a decent series and definitely recommended for those of you who enjoyed the movies.

Stunning!

Verified Purchase:Yes
Just bought this PC a few weeks ago. So far, so good. The display is just awesome. Everytime I sit down, I'm just amazed. The only disappointment I have, is that the RAM is not maxed out with the i7 version, and it is almost near impossible, not to mention risky, in order to upgrade the internal components. I've also heard conflicting RAM max amounts, some websites state 32GB, although HP is stating 16GB. Other than that quirky hardware issue, I really love this PC and highly recommend it to any avid PC user who appreciates that technology can not only be functional, but also very stunning and beautiful. Kudos to HP!!!

I bought a 4K TV when I bought the original XBOX One and it was ok. This new XBOX One S delivers true 4K for everything, not just Netflix. It is so awesome. Definitely recommend upgrading if you haven't already. Just keep in mind, you MUST have a 4K TV, otherwise, there's no point.

The Kinect for XBOX One is amazing. You can pretty much use the XBOX without a controller if you have one of these. Everything is voice activated or motion controlled. Its just amazing.

Optimize your productivity and entertainment experience with this 15.6-inch HP Envy convertible laptop. Its AMD Ryzen 5 processor and 8GB of RAM provide smooth performance, and its AMD Radeon graphics loads stunning gaming visuals. This HP Envy convertible laptop has 1TB of storage, and its Windows Ink feature lets you work with a digital pen. Learn more.
 

I was wondering how long would this device last to you average users out there. I've had bad experienced with previous HP laptops and my recent one dying because of a hard drive failure.

This laptop is suitable for the average user. Build quality is good. Can't say as to the life of the device, but lately HP has been on point with build and quality of their products. The only gripe I have with the laptop is that I wish the battery would last longer. Granted it is a 15" laptop, so I don't expect it to last forever. The good thing is that you can upgrade it yourself fairly easily with special tools. So you can ditch the HDD with a super fast NVMe SSD and max out the RAM. After that, this laptop should last you a long time as I hope it does for me.

No DOAC port in receiver?

My receiver doesn't have a digital optical audio cable port. Is there an adapter that I can use?
Instead of using an adapter, you'd be better off using the audio cable option that is on your receiver.

How do you prepare the cable for use?

There are no instructions included with the cable explaining how to connect the cable. It being an optical cable I was not sure if I had to remove the small clear plastic tip on the end of the cable. I finally figured out that it had to come off.

Then, I still couldn't get one of the fittings to work and after removing the second piece of plastic on one end, the black one, I got it to fit.

It is not user friendly.
There is no preparation for this cable. It's basically plug and play. An optical cable uses light to transmit the data, hence the name. The plastic covers are to protect the ends while the cable is not being used, so yes, you remove them when you use the cable.

Is it possible to connect the digital optical audio output to an analog input?

I just bought a Sony KDL 40W600B tv. I have an analog HT system that I'd hate to have to replace. My old Sony Bravia (also HD) had RCA outputs that connected just fine. This new tv doesn't seem to have RCA outputs, only component inputs.
The Home theater System is a Niro Pro 1.1. I love the sound it produces and don't wish to replace it. Any advice or suggestions on how to connect these would be greatly appreciated.
I also have a Sony Blu-Ray DVD connected to the tv via HDMI cables. DVDs play but the sound comes out of the tv now, not the NIro like it used to. Thanks.
You may be able to find a converter on Amazon.
