Big Movie Experience in Your Home
on February 12, 2022
Posted by: BadgerJim
Verified Purchase:Yes
This movie is one you will watch many times. I do not say that lightly, I have many movies in my collection and this one is impressive. Story line, graphics, and you feel like you are on the trip with the characters. Just an FYI, yes I love Jason Bourne, Bond movies, but this is a light hearted fun to watch movie with a lot of intrigue and a interesting science ending on the solution. Easy to watch with younger children.

Fast and Easy, low install issues
on January 15, 2022
Posted by: BadgerJim
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have two of these and they are fast and easy to install. I got them so I could see the house when away on a recent trip. Unlike all other systems, you can put a memory card in each unit (No need for internet cloud which you would pay for)
Fast and Easy to set up, and I see my home from my phone. The APP is flawless, easy to use, and does not sign me out. I have never used the SD Cards I installed, but you have that option. Each unit will rotate and you can do that remotely from your phone. If placed properly you have a wide area to look at from your phone by rotating the camera from your phone. Love the TP Link

Answer the door from anywhere and stay connected with this Ring small wired doorbell. It delivers 1080p HD video, two-way talk, advanced motion detection, real-time alerts sent straight to your phone, Alexa device or Ring Chime (sold separately). Filter out movement next door or on a busy street with adjustable motion settings so you'll only receive the alerts that matter. Night vision with sharp contrast lets you see every detail - even in the dark.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Hey Guys, I am a technology guy, and this is that last thing I could care about. I decided it would not live up to what it does. I cannot be more impressed. Buy the lower model like I did, it works great. Captures everything. If you have some inside cameras from another company, this is a cheap way to add an external camera to your front door. I love that I have history of who is at the front door. Best of all, I can see everything from my phone. The phone app is exceptional, and fast and easy.

Top mixer with options, last one you will need
on January 15, 2022
Posted by: BadgerJim
Verified Purchase:Yes
Well, we had the lower model for 30 years, and have now passed it down to a daughter. This one is even more amazing with power and expanded bowl for bigger projects, like heavy dough, and more. The attachment grinded through some tough parmesan cheese fast. On this one you can raise and lower the mixing bowl. If you have the lower version you have to raise the head up. Either way both are a long term ownership, so pick the one you want, they are all great. We love the Ink Blue, our older model was Cobalt Blue, which seems to not be available now. If you get this Best Buy exclusive Blue Ink, you will love it! Also, if you are concerned about the matt finish, we love it.

Very Impressed
on January 15, 2022
Posted by: BadgerJim
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have the Sony - UBP-X800M2 - Streaming 4K Ultra HD Hi-Res Audio Wi-Fi Built-In Blu-Ray Player for my family room. BUT I bought the UBP-X700 for the basement exercise area. Not rich, all cement down there; Super impressed. I can now use my entire DVD collection with upscaling, Blu rays, and 4K. The workout area has an older LED TV, and everything works great. I will never have time to look at my older video collection, so I picked this to watch when I work out, and look at some old favorites. If this is your first 4K you will love it, and the streaming is top notch. I use it with Nvidia and that works very well.

Another Great MI addition
on December 25, 2021
Posted by: BadgerJim
Verified Purchase:Yes
The MI series gets better and better on each addition. What I like most is the travel through other countries, and the solutions to solve the problem. Then as each movie unfolds, there is a need for a 2nd solution. You never know who to trust. The spectacular action chases are believable and well done.

Solid unit, solid software for work out feed back
on September 5, 2021
Posted by: BadgerJim
Verified Purchase:Yes
I am very impressed. I looked at the water rowers, you have to add water to increase resistance. Also some reviews mention the water will leak. This has the magnetic resistance wheel, and does a great job. Most impressive is the digital screen with feedback on your work out. This is a long machine, and you will need room for that. Folding it up is difficult, so if you think you will fold it up everyday to store, that is a negative. Plan on having it open everyday. Now, experience. This is the one. The software is well done, and best screen for feed back. Solid work out, and easy to put together out of the box.

Invidia Compare, I like both
on September 5, 2021
Posted by: BadgerJim
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the NVIDIA Shield 4K HDR. I own the Pro version for my main TV, and ordered this for my bedroom and work out room. I recommend the Pro with opportunity for Plex. Now lets discuss this model. Very impressed, same easy to use interface. Same program, The cylinder look is a bit weird, but trust me, it is the same, just missing lower memory which does not matter, but you can add an SD card. The cylinder look is no big deal, just hide it behind your TV. It provides all the same program look as the Pro does. Strategy: Pro for main TV, and this model for all the rest in your house.

Beyond Expectations
on September 5, 2021
Posted by: BadgerJim
Verified Purchase:Yes
NVIDIA has been beyond expectations. My son has Apple, and I wanted that ability. Even he is impressed. All works well with ARC TV connections and a Samsung sound bar. Impressive picture on a Sony 4K. I love that I can choose AI upgrade to 4K on anything I view below 4K. You can use the menu to choose AI upgrade, and that is fast and easy. Netflix offered 4K UHD for more money per month. You do not need it, This NVIDIA pro does it all, easy. Small profile, it sits as a small unit. For your favorite programs, very easy. Netflix and Prime easy set up. We are cutting the cord. FYI Easy set up, Easy menus, and move fast to new programs

This is the one OLED and sound, connections
on June 19, 2021
Posted by: BadgerJim
Verified Purchase:Yes
I am a tech guy, and I buy things that match up to other technology. First of all, the picture is perfect, no lagging refresh rate, perfect color out of the box. I have a sound bar with a center channel (that is the more expensive sound bar as you know). Considering not hooking up the sound bar, the sound is that good. Now for movie night, I do have an older Yamaha Amp with sound surround speakers, tower speakers, and a woofer. Out of the box, all connected well. Shocked. Then, do have the SONY 4K DVD player and play 4K DVD's, and stream from that as well. Over all very pleased. The TV does have streaming as well, will look at that next, but so far a great experience!

Extra-large capacity 4-Door French Door Refrigerator with customizable and changeable door panels available in a variety of colors and finishes featuring Samsung~s Family Hub which lets you see inside your refrigerator, manage your family~s calendars, stream music, see who~s at the front door and much more, all right from your fridge. It also features the Beverage Center with both a water dispenser and AutoFill Water Pitcher. Plus a Dual Ice Maker with cubed ice and Ice Bites.
 

Does this model have a crushed ice dispenser?

We are waiting on delivery, but as we looked at specs, the ice maker delivers cubes and pebbles. When discussing, we thought the pebbles made sense. Will not stick together like crushed in the freezer, and a friend noted the pebbles are nice for drinks. Hope that helps.

Will this work on a 5g network or do you have to change your network settings?

Not sure on the question, if you have WIFI at home, 5G does not matter, if this is cell phone, no 5G works better.

Introducing MX Keys, an advanced wireless illuminated keyboard crafted for efficiency, stability, and precision.

Tactile reference for hand positioning makes it easy to stay oriented and in your flow. The backlit keys light up the moment your hands approach, and automatically adjust to suit changing lighting conditions. With MX Keys you can truly master what you make.
 

Logitech's website shows a graphite color keyboard. Are there multiple versions / does BB offer graphite version? See https://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/mx-keys-wireless-keyboard.

I like the black version offered at Best Buy. Just my preference.

Throw away your extra remotes in favor of the Logitech Harmony 665 remote control. This functional remote works with a range of devices, from basic cable to Apple TV, and can combine up to 10 remotes in one versatile unit. This Logitech Harmony 665 remote control offers one-button setup for easy incorporation with your entertainment system.
 

Will this work with a Sony Bravia model kdl-40w590b and spectrum cable box?

Yes, it recognises a huge amount of devices. Attach to the internet and enter your devices. This is not an old fashioned put in number codes deal, just follow the directions and all your devices work. Best of all for what you want, when done, you will just click the TV button and everything with turn on and bet ready.
