great image and large

Thin TV, great image, and looks great mounted. I have the 800C version and it was buggy in the first 6 months. It finally got fixed with an update. This 75" 800D version is buggy too. I was gone for a week and it turned on by itself and locked on the boot screen when I got back. Hope to see a firmware update soon. Other than HDR support, don't see much improvement over the last generation.

Large monitor. It took 4 hours to setup. You would think they would make it easier to setup by now. By the time you personalize setting, download updates, register the computer, setup the internet, and install software, 4 hours has past.

Powerful and weak
on August 14, 2016
Posted by: Techman
from Portland, OR
Verified Purchase:Yes
Powerful suction, light weight, and versatile to get under the bed and furniture. However, it only has about 10 mins of battery life. If you want regular suction, you can turn off the Max mode and you get close to 20 mins. They should sell spare batteries, so you can vacuum up for an hour. Diffcult to find attachments. There are exclusive attachments only sold with high end cordless models.

Plain, but Affordable and Decent Quality

Verified Purchase:Yes
Pros
1) Easy to setup - worked instantly with my cable TV with minimal color configuration
2) Smart TV - easy to setup wireless, requires Samsung account
3) 50% cheaper than Amazon
Cons
1) This TV is a little overpriced. Should be $500 for 1080p.
2) Very plain look.

Poor Instructions, but beautiful stand

Verified Purchase:Yes
If you guess correctly, you will assemble it correctly. 25% of the instructions, you have to guess on the orientation of the parts. They need to make it more clear. Once assembled, it's a very nice looking TV stand and becomes the currently best value TV stand that Best Buy has to offer.

Does the job, but cheaply made
on March 8, 2016
Posted by: Techman
from Portland, OR
Verified Purchase:Yes
First, it took me 5 minutes to sync with my iPhone. Second, the telescopic pole is loose, so it rotates when you extend the pole. This means that it's difficult to get a steady shot if you are walking, on a ride, or riding a horse.
I'm surprised that this is the "original" selfie stick. I would have hoped it was built a little better. Because I got it for only 5 with a price match, I'm not returning it. It's not worth paying at regular price.

Returned on day one

Two issues with it:
1) It's 10 times louder than a microwave should be.
2) Legs are not adjustable, so the microwave was wobbly.
Good job, LG! This is the second microwave that I have returned from Best Buy. Best Buy only has two models that are 2.0cu: Sharp and LG. Both are no good. Best Buy -> Worst Buy
Time to look elsewhere for small appliances.

Looks very nice next to wall mount

My only gripe with this AV wall mount was the top shelf is not flat. Looks like a flaw with the part that attaches to the glass. The other shelf is perfectly flat. It saves alot of space compared to having a big bulk TV stand.

Place a protective barrier between your iPad and the forces of nature with this VersaVu Classic rotating case. This versatile case offers hands-free viewing of your tablet in landscape or portrait positions with various angle options. Custom cutouts in this VersaVu Classic rotating case offer full access to your ports and buttons.
 

DOES THIS CASE HAVE 4 OPENINGS SINCE THE 9.7 HAS FOUR SPEAKERS?

This model is designed for the iPad Pro with 4 spots to deflect the sound to the front, rather than the side. Good design. Just bought this case for my iPad Pro 9.7".

SoundLink~ Mini Bluetooth~ speaker II delivers full sound with dramatically deeper lows than you'd expect from a speaker that fits in the palm of your hand. And because it's wireless and ultra-compact, it's easy to take Bose~ sound anywhere. With the built-in speakerphone you can take calls out loud with clear sound. And voice prompts make Bluetooth pairing easy. The SoundLink~ Mini II can play unplugged for hours and be charged from most USB power sources.
 

how large of a room can the speaker accommodate?

I would say a living room. 35' x 20' That's how big my basement is and it fills up fine. When I'm about 20 feet away, it's starts losing it's volume and clarity in a moderately noisy room. You would need to buy the next size Bose speaker if you want to fill up a larger room.

Flash card play

Can I play music from a flash card? Have an extended music collection in flash card sticks. They are in mp3 format
Not unless you have a mp3 compatible device that can read those flash cards. Buy an mp3 player such as an iPod.

There is no USB connection on this speaker. Only a 3.5mm audio jack or Bluetooth.

IPOD Classic

I have an IPOD Classic, will this speaker work with it? I can't find a blue tooth setting on the IPOD
While your iPod does not have Bluetooth, you can still connect your iPod with a 3.5mm audio cable.

Can I connect a usb drive directly and play mp3 files ?

You cannot connect a USB drive to this speaker. There is no internal software to play music files. You must have an external mp3 compatible device, like an smartphone, tablet, or computer.

Also, this speaker will only work with a 3.5mm audio jack or Bluetooth.

Can you use it with tv that is not bluetooth enabled?

You could, but it's not recommended. The footprint is too small to replace a soundbar or home theater sound system. If you had a small apartment or bedroom, you could pull it off. For a room the size of a living room or master bedroom, I would recommend a soundbar. It cost the same, but you will have larger volume, and range with a subwoofer.

The speaker has a 3.5mm jack.
