Excellent sound, but I had to fix the volume.

The sound is excellent with this! I purchased an open box item for a $50 discount off of the $80 sale price, so I bought this for around $150 before taxes. After I hooked it up, I noticed that the volume from the soundbar would automatically turn up to the max of 100! The only fix for this is unscrewing the bottom unit, and disconnecting a small ribbon inside. You must keep this disconnected for the volume to work properly! After that is done, sound is superb in Dolby DX! I subtracted one star off of my review due to this common soundbar problem from Samsung. Consumers shouldn’t have to deal with this soundbar volume problem! Firmware update does NOT fix this glitch! If you can deal with tweaking this soundbar phantom volume problem yourself, I recommend buying it. If not, don’t bother, because you may have the same volume issue, and it’s very frustrating if you don’t know how to fix it! (I kept my review 4 stars, because the sound is really that great, despite the common automatic volume issue.

This is my 4K UHD TV!
on February 3, 2021
Posted by: williamdesign
Verified Purchase:Yes
Price point is on at under $400. What you get, is enormous value! Set up is a breeze, no tools required for the stand. It's fast, picture is crystal clear, blacks are rich. There are no digital audio in/audio out ports, so don't plan on attaching your old speakers to it. However, Bluetooth works very nicely. I paired it with my Harmon Kardon Bluetooth speaker in an instant! Overall, very satisfied with my purchase, and you get great value for an inexpensive price for a 4K UHD TV.

I was expecting a lot more from this TV. It seems light and cheaply made. Colors look dull, it's laggy and slow with WiFi, and it's smaller than I imagined. For the price, it's average or below. It's an ok TV, but I'm planning to return it. I want a TV that has good quality and lasts like my Samsung. Just leaving this review so that consumers can make an informed decision. I went for it because of the low price, but you get low quality with it.

I had to sell my unit, because it would randomly disappear from my desktop, and I'd need to reformat it. Back up your data on this unit! Good price, but I don't recommend buying it.

Thank you for your response, WD!

I tried the WD Utilities, but it wasn't showing up, so I had to reformat it through Apple Disk Utility. It seems to work fine for a lot of other people on here, so that's good. I recently purchased a Western Digital My Passport 1TB SSD Drive, which I may mention, is blazingly FAST, and is superb! This is the fastest external drive that I've EVER owned! So happy with my new purchase! I appreciate your response.

I'm using this on my Mac Pro. It works ok, but then it will randomly disappear from my desktop. I therefore need to run disk first aid to get it back to mount. If it keeps working sporadically like this, I'll probably return it.

Reformatting helped.

I reformatted the drive for my Mac, and I think this solved the issue (I hope). It was originally formatted as exfat, and I reformatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).

By MrEtcetera
I bought this microwave on November 14th, 2019 and it stopped working today (January 23, 2020) as I write this review. Technically it lasted 2 months and worse than that is that my returning time expired on January 14th. Now I am stuck with a microwave that doesn't work and wondering how am I going to get a new one.
You want my advice -- DO NOT BUY this piece of this product. But of course, they will not post this review since they reserve the right post or not post a review.
