Large capacity, great price.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Fast, reasonable price, and easy to set up. But not silent.
I'm using this as an external HD for my PS4. You can definitely hear vibration when the disk is being accessed. I have it sitting in my entertainment center next to the PS4 and every time it is accessed I hear a low hum. Maybe it's just the right vibration frequency to be amplified by the entertainment center enclosure, or something like that that only an acoustic engineer can explain. But I only mention this because this replaces a 4Gb drive that was SILENT in operation in the same location/function.

Nice addition to the Terminator series.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I know the reviews have been all over the place for this movie, but I liked it. I thought it was one of the better movies in the series, after T2. As usual, a special effects and audio tour-de-force.
Bought this in UHD 4K and it looks and sounds particularly awesome in my Dolby ATMOS system.

Following Queen's meteoric rise, their revolutionary sound and Freddie's solo career, the film also chronicles the band's reunion, and one of the greatest performances in rock history.

Well made, may or may not fit

Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased two sets of these for my sons for xmas. Opened one set, and they didn't fit son #1. So he gave them to son #2. Also didn't fit him. I then tried them, and while they fit me, I was disappointed in the bass response. So ended up returning them to BB. I would've rated these three stars but the fact that BB handled the return with ZERO issues, I bumped it to 4.

Haven't completed the game yet but amazing graphics, production and storyline. Only issue is my PS4 has to work VERY hard to play this and the fan gets noisy. This game clearly pushes the hardware to its limits!

Overall4 out of 5
4 out of 5Mostly awesome. Possibly one show stopper.
By Kevin
Love ALMOST everything about this TV. Setup, picture, build quality, built in apps, ability to play wide array of video formats from USB, etc.
However there is one issue that could be a showstopper.
I play a fair amount of PS4 on the TV, and it will periodically blink the screen off for a short period. Maybe 1/2 second. Not a problem for strategy type games but could cause issues with action games. I can't tell for sure, but when it comes back on after the flash, the contrast *appears* to be different. Maybe it's struggling with HDR data on some games or the way the PS4 sends it.
I've updated the TV to current level and rebooted. I haven't tried an exhaustive list of video settings to determine where the problem is, but it seems to occur regardless of Picture setting (calibrated, vivid, game, etc.).
Hopefully Vizio support sees this and is able to find a product fix to issue in the next update. Otherwise, this may have to go back.

UPDATE: The sync / flashing problem I encountered was being caused by an old HDMI cable that obviously could not keep up with the throughput. Swapped it out with a new high speed cable and the problem went away! 5 stars now!

I just updated to an xbox one x. Is there a specific HDMI port I should use for Gameplay? I can see the Xbox home screen fine, but when I enter a game the screen goes green jumps betweem HDR/HDR10. Did I miss a setting? No manual was provided w/ TV.
Are you using a high end, high speed HDMI cable? Or the one you used with your old TV? I was having all kinds of problems with my PS4 on this TV til I replaced my HDMI cable. Didn't think that could matter that much but it sure did for me... completely solved my problem.
