OLED at the top of its game. From the big game to being in the game, no detail goes unseen. With advanced gaming technology like NVIDIA G-SYNC, you'll crush the competition. Self-lit pixels emit their own light for perfect black, intense color and stunning picture~paired with our best processor for even better picture quality. Only on OLED.

Excellent TV but lacks instructions for options
on May 22, 2021
Posted by: mikepags
Verified Purchase:Yes
The picture is beautiful and worth the wait for this new OLED. My only problem was setting up the TV which has picture instructions and they were unhelpful setting up the stand. LG has another great product, but it needs better instructions with these new electronic products. There is little information on setting up the options in the TV software so you work you way through them by trial and error. I would still buy this TV because the picture is spectacular especially when watching DVD's and live events.

Excellent receiver, but hard to set up
on May 22, 2021
Posted by: mikepags
Verified Purchase:Yes
The receive is excellent but the software leaves much to be desired. You have to use the app to set up rooms because the instructions with the receiver don't have any information. There is a lack of any instructions with the receiver and Yamaha online make it difficult to set up. But that should not discourage people from buying. It is worth the effort once you get the hang of it.

Good but not great
on April 19, 2021

Verified Purchase:Yes
I replaced a pair of lightweight Bose earphones with wires which the company no longer sells. The Sony wired headphones are the closest in quality and sound to Bose. I don't like the ear piece design but quality of sound is important. It would be better to have the ear piece that sets in the ear without having to push it in the canal. But overall I am happy with these earphones. The other brands are just not up to snuff on quality.

Nice, but pricey.

I have used this cooker twice and it does work as advertised. I would caution that if you make soft boiled eggs you have to cool them down or they will continue to cook to hard boiled. It is a quick way to get eggs done. I highly recommend using distilled water.

The toaster is a compact 4 slice toaster that even at low setting burns one side of the toast. I would not buy this again.

Best alternative to the pricey Apple keyboard

I purchased as an alternative to the pricey keyboard from Apple and I am pleased with it because it fufills my needs when using the tablet. The magnets hold the keyboard in the case and separate easy when you don't need the keyboard. I don't use my Ipad as a substitute computer so for casual use this keyboard is perfect.

Ease household chores with this bagless SHARK Navigator upright vacuum. Its large-capacity dust cup lets you clean for longer periods without interruption, and the swivel steering provides increased maneuverability around corners and under tables. This corded SHARK Navigator upright vacuum has a powerful brush that removes dander and pet hair from surfaces.
 

How do you adjust the carpet height? We just got new carpet and I can't even use it on them because the brush is so low. I can't find anything to adjust the height.

You can't adjust the height of the brushes. The switch allows you to change for hard floors and carpets.

Experience next-level comfort and productivity with the MK850 Performance. Hyper-fast scrolling and a full-size keyboard help you get more done at your desk ~ and a cushioned palm rest, curved keyframe and contoured mouse let you power through in comfort. Type and switch seamlessly between your computer, tablet, and phone. And pair your mouse with up to 3 devices. The combo has been optimized for use with all your operating systems ~ including Windows, Mac, and Chrome OS.
 

do you have to use the fn key to use the function keys (F2,F3...)

Yes, because there are certain keys that are missing from a full size keyboard. For example, there is no print screen key so you have to use the fn keys combination to get the print screen.

Can you add vcr and dvd capability?

It has 2 HDMI inputs so if you have a dvd player that uses hdmi it can be hooked up but not a vcr unless it has an hdmi connector.
