Pleasantly Surprised
on June 15, 2023
Posted by: Rich
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this set to replace an eleven year old 80 inch Sharp, that has begun to act up. I own several TCL TVs, including 5, 6, and 8 series. I also own a couple that go back to before they began using numbers as their model ID. Including the P series, and a couple of S series. I was not expecting much when I made the purchase and just figured overall it would be an improvement over an eleven year old set. What I was not expecting was that not only was it much better than the Sharp. It blew the few year old S series out of the water. It is also far superior to a 2 year old 5 series, and 3 year old 6 series. In fact I think it's almost on par with the 2022 6 series, as well as the 8 series from a couple of years back. I am very impressed with the back levels, and even though it's not a quantum dot tv the colors jump off the screen. This TV will be in my garage (man cave) and use for mostly sports viewing. So far, I see it handles fast motion quite well. No more seeing two baseball flying across the screen. This TV may be the bargain of 2023, at the price point just under $1000.

75 Was Not Available
on June 3, 2023
Posted by: Rich
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had to buy the 65, because the 75 was not available. My living room TV died and needed to be replaced. Overall I am happy with this purchase, and must say it's quite an upgrade from the 75R615 that it's replacing. In fact I think it's even an upgrade to the 65 inch 8 series that I have in my bedroom. The colors jump off the screen and the brightness is outstanding. Just wish it was bigger,

Enjoying It Big Time
on June 3, 2023
Posted by: Rich
Verified Purchase:Yes
It had been a couple of years since I treated myself to an upgrade for my TV that I have on my screened in porch. This more than did the trick. It is nice and bright and can be seen at any time of day. I also like the fact that the stand is in the center and not those stupid legs that are spread apart on most TVs today. The fact saved me a couple of bucks by not having to by a separate table to stand from Amazon. My only regret is that I would have been better off waiting. A couple of weeks after my purchase my living room set needed to be replaced. So I ended up buying the 65 inch version a lot sooner than expected.

Prewash clothes right inside this top load washer using a built-in washing machine faucet to help remove loose soils or select the washing machine Presoak Option to soak and wash in one cycle. Once you choose a cycle, the washer impeller works to drive clothes from the outer rim to the center for the deepest clean.

Takes Some Getting Used To
on June 3, 2023
Posted by: Rich
Verified Purchase:Yes
All in all it gets the job done. It does take a little getting used to. It is the first washing machine we have ever owned that does not have a place to add the detergent. You just pour it into the empty tub. It is also a bit louder than our past machines. Turning the machine on is not so straight forward either. Not difficult, but read the directions.

Sent Me A Return
on March 10, 2022
Posted by: Rich
Verified Purchase:Yes
I own one of these that I bought directly from Ring. It works as it should and have no complaints. I am giving this a one star rating because although I paid for a new unit, Best Buy sent me an open box return. It's going right back to them. The seals have been cut, and the box has been roughed up. I am not even going to open it, as I would not be at all shocked if there are pieces missing.

A little Pricey
on February 1, 2022
Posted by: Rich
Verified Purchase:Yes
A little high price wise. However it's worth every penny watching the family playing together. Their smiles are where the real value is. As of late they have slowed down the free games and stepped up the release of the paid games. The first of which was Pandemic. I don't know what they were thinking with that one. While we are still living the real thing I think that was a terrible choice for the fist paid game. It would be nice if they came out with Parcheesi as the next free game, at this price they need to throw us a bone every now and again.

Mine Was Defective

I'm giving this 3 stars because it only worked for 3 days before it stopped responding to commands. It also started buzzing. It goes without saying it was returned, I also have one that I bought from Amazon that looks to be a newer model and work perfectly.

Over Priced
on February 1, 2022
Posted by: Rich
Verified Purchase:Yes
I think that even at the sale price it's still over priced. That is why I took one star away. It works well, but could have been designed a little better, and for that I took another star off. Sliding it into it's housing and not being able to secure it in place does not instill a lot of confidence. Also instructions are horrible.

Great Value
on May 2, 2021
Posted by: Rich
Verified Purchase:Yes
The number of games you get with this unit vs some of the others makes it a great value. this is my third Arcade1up purchase. The others being Golden Tee, and Attack From Mars. Of the three, this one was the hardest to put together. Not that it was all that hard. It just took a little more gentle persuasion to get the parts to fit right than the others did.

It’s a nice tent. Not heavy duty. I wish they make the middle metal higher for the tent. My husband is 5’5 and almost touch his head. If the person is 6 ft tall they will likely hit their head. I guess you get what you paid for. Also the storage bag is just plastic.

1 out of 5Great value, cheap quality, defective
By Ethan
Although the box came in a bit beat up, all of the packaging within the box looked brand new. Upon opening up a few pieces, a lot had scatches/blemishes, and some dents even. Although I now these aren't "the highest quality" products, I proceeded to build it. Upon getting to the point where the screen needs to screw into the second side of the cabinet, I noticed the screw holes don't line up. I figured I made a mistake, took the whole thing apart, and put back together slowly. Nope, it was defective. The screw holes did not line up and had to return the product. I love the idea of having one of these cabinets as I see tons of great reviews, but after this defective one, I'm hesitating on getting another one due to the failure rates after they are built as well.

That's a shame. Mine was perfect. Of all the things I ever had to put together this was the only one that everything lined up the way it should. It's been my experience that there always seems to be something just a hair off that causes a little stress during assembly. No scratches of any kind either, in spite of UPS having roughed up the edges.

Arcade1Up - Golden Tee 3D Golf 19" Arcade with Lit Marque
Overall3 out of 5
3 out of 5Firmware broke my trackball, the monitor my heart.
By EddieH
Where do I begin... When Arcade1Up dropped the announcement of this cabinet's release, it organically reached hype status all on its own. Those following A1U closely know that they have hinted at the imminent release of their "Pro" line of cabinets and this cabinet looked the part. However, it was clearly apparent they aimed to differentiate this one by dubbing it an "XL" cabinet. Speculation is that this is meant as a stop-gap, conforming to the Pro line form-factor and build process, but lacking some of the Pro's features, such as high-end controls, speakers, and display panels.
Well, if that was their goal they achieved it gloriously... This is, without a doubt, a near true-to-scale cabinet hosh-posh of quality with decent speakers, a somewhat mediocre trackball, and quite possibly the worst LCD panel an Arcade1Up cabinet has ever been graced with. This 19" TN display has such bad viewing angles that it rivals a passive matrix display from the early 90s. Anything viewing right-of-center or slightly below the center line (as would be the vantage point of a child) renders an almost unviewable inverted-colors mess of an image that immediately takes away from its enjoyment.
If curious to see how bad this is, do a search on YT for "Arcade1Up Golden Tee 3D XL Firmware Trackball Bug & Monitor Rant" and skip over to the 13:06 mark where I go over just how atrocious this monitor really is. That title should also hint you at the next and possibly just as important outstanding issue with this cabinet...the very first firmware update pushed by A1U breaks the trackball driver in-game, causing your golfer's swing or your bowling ball throw to seemingly freeze, before resuming all on its own seconds later. Those of us who had the opportunity to play the games for a few days prior to this update managed to squeeze in 2 or 3 days of confirmation that this behavior is purely firmware related. To their credit, after being made aware of this issue, Arcade1Up pulled the OTA (over the air) update immediately and have been working to resolve, but that means many spent their first weekend with an unplayable 700 dollar cabinet.
The cabinet itself is quite attractive and the assembly procedure, as well as the extra bracing involved, makes for a very sturdy product. Compared to the 3/4 scale cabinets, including the original A1U release of Golden Tee, it feels much closer to a real cabinet, albeit still making use of thinner panels and weighing about 1/3 of a traditional cabinet's weight. If aesthetics is what you seek, aesthetics you'll get... Up until you fire it up and witness the hot mess that is the 19" display put in these.
All of that aside, there's something to be said about Arcade1Up's support and overall stance as a company. In my experiences, their Customer Service has been among the best in the gaming and even electronics business. They respond promptly and, at least in the past, have sent out replacement parts without hesitation. Being an "in between" product between the regular 3/4 scale and their upcoming Pro line, it is to be expected that it will suffer some transitional pains, but I was really hoping those pain points wouldn't take away from the immersion and enjoyment that these are meant to bring. The less than perfect trackball I can live with... But that display truly has no place in a 700 dollar game. Arcade1Up, if you are listening... Please give us a better screen for these.
This cabinet had so much potential to build up on the hype for the upcoming Pro cabs but instead serves as caution tape to those on the fence about spending this much money on something that will occupy a prominent space in their homes.
