G-SYNC was the only good thing
on June 11, 2018
Posted by: LordAlfred
from Anderson, SC
Verified Purchase:Yes
I picked up this monitor for the G-SYNC capability. I found G-SYNC to be a nice feature, though not life-altering as as others had described it. It was still worth the investment as long as the rest of the monitor's features were good. Unfortunately everything else about this particular monitor was very disappointing. The viewing angles were horrible, especially in dark areas where you could tell the contrast to the sides of the screen was shifted compared to head-on. This creates an effect where the sides appear to be brighter than the middle. This is exacerbated by the fact that the monitor has very poor black levels. At anything above minimum brightness, blacks and dark areas of the screen appeared gray, and to top it off the screen is unevenly lit, with my unit's left side appearing noticeably lighter when dark areas were onscreen. I tried all of the suggested adjustments from other reviews, and these did help with color and some other aspects, but there's not much you can do about the viewing angles and backlight bleed-through. Aside from G-SYNC and the size, everything about this monitor was inferior to my old Samsung monitor, so I returned the Dell and went back to the old one. Maybe one day an inexpensive G-SYNC monitor will appear that is not so compromised in other areas.

Fantastic Game, Nice Extras
on March 13, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is easily one of the best games the past few years. Check the reviews if you don't believe me. I've been playing games a long time and Zelda games since the beginning. I can safely say that this is biggest, best Zelda adventure since Ocarina of Time. I might like it even more than that. The game is phenomenal. As for the Special Edition package, the case is a bit garish but is well designed and holds the system along with games and accessories. The soundtrack CD is very nice and the coin and map are neat, albeit less-exciting extras. I'm glad I went for the special edition since it saved me from purchasing an add-on case. If you could get one I would recommend it.

Great Set for Gaming
on December 27, 2016
Posted by: LordAlfred
from Anderson, SC
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Samsung KS8000 range is a good choice for gamers looking for a capable, yet relatively affordable display. The set supports 4K and HDR, and games and movies that take advantage of these can look totally amazing. Regular 720p and 1080p/i content looks good too. Input lag in game mode is very low compared to other sets, and games feel fast and responsive. The set suffers from a few problems that many other LED/LCDs suffer from such as poor viewing angles, but after trying several other models I've found the KS8000 to be the best LED/LCD set I've tried overall. You would need to upgrade to OLED to solve these issues, which would mean spending twice as much.

Better Stick Experience
on September 27, 2016
Posted by: LordAlfred
from Anderson, SC
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've owned some of the other streaming sticks that are available including Chromecast and the Amazon Fire Stick. I wasn't happy with those for various reasons, so I decided to try the Roku stick. I'm very glad I did and have given away the other two as I will not be using them. The Roku beats them hands down. It's much more responsive, has a better, cleaner interface, and a much better remote. It also has the best selection of apps. I don't like using my phone as a remote, so that kind of ruined the Chromecast for me. The Amazon stick was missing key apps (VUDU, etc.) that I really needed and the interface was cluttered and slow. The Roku is the answer to these complaints and I wish I had gone with it to start with. Yes, the others can be had for less, but trust me, the Roku stick is worth the extra money.

Great external Blu-ray Drive
on May 11, 2016
Posted by: LordAlfred
from Anderson, SC
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this external drive so I could utilize a popular streaming service's disc-to-digital program. My computers did not have internal Blu-ray drives, so I decided to just get an external I could move around as needed. The drive installed with no drivers needed on my Windows 8.1 PC. It was able to read my Blu-rays and the online service had no problems scanning my discs so I could purchase the streaming versions for a low price. Now I can watch my movies on Blu-ray at home and stream them in HD while traveling.

Good solution for specific needs
on May 11, 2016
Posted by: LordAlfred
from Anderson, SC
Verified Purchase:Yes
When I go exercise or work in the yard, I want to listen to something to help the time go by. Full earphones are hot and get sweaty, and regular earbuds will pull out when the cord gets hung on something or just slide out when you start to perspire. I decided I was ready to purchase something to fill this need. I looked at various options and since I didn't want full phones, and I don't like in-ear buds, this was the best option. No wires, no in-ear, no chance of slipping out. They are sweat-proof, to boot. The sound quality is fine, though obviously it will not be quite as good as in-ear buds or full cans. The other concerns outweighed top-quality sound to me. The only real con I can give them is that the bluetooth signal will occasionally drop out for a half-second. This happens rarely, maybe once every 30 minutes, and it's so brief it's of no concern. I tend to carry my phone in my front shorts pocket. I would be willing to bet that if I used my back pocket or the included armband that there would be no drop outs. Overall, I am very pleased with the product and it fulfills my specific needs.

Performs well, does everything I need it to

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've been a long-time Onkyo owner through several receivers and they all served me well. When it came time to upgrade again for 4K, HDR, and Atmos, I looked for a receiver that had support for the latest standards as well as 7 rear HDMI inputs for all my game systems, PC, and other devices. This Onkyo fit the bill and received good reviews from both sites and owners. I'm primarily using the receiver for movies and games. After dialing-in the settings and sound I am very pleased with the unit and have had no issues.

A decent fighting game with DC characters

This is an average fighting game from the makers of the more-recent Mortal Kombat games. It's competently made but otherwise forgettable unless you are big fan of the DC characters.

The Tom Nook amiibo is a great motivator

Just like in the Animal Crossing game, Tom Nook serves as a constant reminder that I am in debt and probably always will be. I have this well-sculpted amiibo on my night stand so that when I wake up, I can be reminded that it's time to earn those bells for the man.

motherboard's sound won't work

My motherboard's sound won't work ,but everything else works. Do I have to get a soundcard or a new motherboard?
A new sound card should work fine. I recently ran into a similar issue with my motherboard and bought a Sound Blaster Zx. It works flawlessly.

I would go into the BIOS of the computer and disable the onboard sound just to avoid conflicts.
