Go Rocketfish!

Verified Purchase:Yes
All of these cables are pretty basic, wire with some shielding around it, so might as well go with a cool brand name like RocketFish.

Average compared to PLEX

This was good and all, but way overpriced. I instead just bought a cheap HD antenna and record stuff over PLEX. Much cheaper.

Good But I hate 4K

Verified Purchase:Yes
After purchasing, I realized I prefer 1080p much much more than 4K. So I exchanged it for the non-4K version.

I've tried the Jaybird True Wireless Vista...
on September 28, 2019
Posted by: NotoriousEGB
Verified Purchase:Yes
I tried the Jaybird True Wireless Vista's in hopes that it would be a worthy upgrade, but I'm sticking with the X3's. While the Vista's have made some really great progress in the True Wireless market, they still don't sound as good as these X3 headphones, and I like having buttons I can physically push. So I'm still holding out until something better comes along. For now I'm quite happy with the X3.

Not digging the 4K Picture
on September 28, 2019
Posted by: NotoriousEGB
Verified Purchase:Yes
It appears I just don't like 4K. Even after I disable all of the annoying 4K features that turn off the Soap Opera effect, I still don't like it. I don't the feeling that you are in the movie that 4K gives you, I'd rather just be outside the movie thank you very much. I had to return it for a good old fashioned 1080p Samsung.

The Last great Non-4K TV
on September 28, 2019
Posted by: NotoriousEGB
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased 2 other 4K TV's before purchasing this Samsung, but I just didn't like the 4K picture at all! Even after adjusting all of the annoying 4K features that give the picture that Soap Opera effect, I still didn't like it. I don't like the feeling of being in the movie that 4K gives you, I'd rather just be outside of the movie thank you very much. So Samsung good old 1080p all the way for me. Better picture and I saved some dollars while I was at it.

NotoriousEGB's Review Comments
Let~s start with a quick round up. This is the best all-round TV. Hands down. Movies, gaming, sports... it~ll handle anything you can throw at it and look great doing it (try not to actually throw stuff, it~s just a figure of speech). No surprise when it~s got 4K resolution, Quantum Dot Color, Dolby Vision HDR, 120Hz native panel, Full Array Local Dimming Zones, anti-glare panel and powerful 1,500 nit peak brightness. What does all that mean? It~s like gazing at the sun melting into the Mediterranean Sea from Ibiza~s coolest bars. But sitting on your couch. At home. Then for gaming, we added Variable Refresh rate, Auto Low Latency Mode and FreeSync Premium to make the most of the latest generation gaming platforms. Even if you don~t know what half this stuff means, one look at the picture and you~ll want it.

3 out of 5Not good for Apple/Sonos users
By NotoriousEGB
Amazing picture quality for this price range, it’s better than my $1800 Samsung. It would easily get 5 stars from me if it worked better with Apple TV and the Apple+ app.
I have a brand new Apple TV 4K (2021) and Sonos Arc to go along with the new Hisense. I’m a heavy apple user, so I downloaded the Apple TV+ app. After about 5-10 seconds, the content freezes regardless if it’s in HD or not. The Apple app is brand new to the Android TV, so I figure it will work someday in the future, however I didn’t want to wait that long so I hooked up the Apple TV 4K, and there are some problems. There are MAJOR audio delays when watching anything that is not in Dolby Atmos (which is like 75% of everything). I tried using every settting from every device, and the problem persists. I’m assuming this problem is a Hisense issue and not a Sonos or Apple problem, because it all works just fine on my Samsung TV. I hope this issue gets resolved soon, because I LOVE everything else about the TV. But if it doesn’t get resolved in the next 15 days I may have to return the TV.

Firmware update

I have been in contact with Hisense. They have assured me that a new firmware update will be released next week that should resolve the problem. Keeping my fingers crossed.

NotoriousEGB's Questions
The three standmount speakers - 705 S3, 706 S3, and 707 S3 work best when positioned in their ideal listening position and at the correct height with the elegant Bowers & Wilkins FS-700 S3 stands that handle both tasks perfectly and are available in complementary black or silver finishes. Their upgraded design includes a subtle curvature to each column to match the front baffle of each speaker, a bright metal detail running up that column to further accent their premium design, and fillable columns that can be mass-loaded for outstanding stability and quietness. Features cable management to avoid wire clutter across your living room floor, ensuring a cleaner look. Includes an option of securely bolting each model of speaker to the top-plate of the stand, ensuring optimum safety
Will the bolt holes lineup with the B&W CM1 or CM5 speakers?

Immerse yourself in movies and games with these SVS Prime Elevation home theater speakers. Their frequency range of 55Hz - 25kHz adds height effects to thrilling movie scenes, and their multi-angle wall brackets provide flexible placement options. Install this pair of multipurpose SVS Prime Elevation home theater speakers as surround sound or LCR components to suit your space.
How will these sound as front height speakers (not mounted to wall but upside down on a high book shelf so that it’s angled down, about 18 feet away from listening position) to complete a 7.1 configuration? Will it sound good with Atmos?
