Roku Select Series 4K TVs are thoughtfully designed to upgrade your entertainment at an incredible value. Enjoy your streaming favorites in brilliant 4K HDR picture that~s optimized for your room lighting with automatic brightness. Catch every word with built-in sound features like auto speech clarity and night mode or enjoy private listening with headphones. Switch to your inputs and watch free live TV right from the home screen, or use the voice remote to find movies, shows, or songs across thousands of channels. And even your deepest couch cushions are no match for the lost remote finder. A smart TV made by Roku? Now that makes sense.

Game loud and clear with the Xbox Stereo Headset which supports high-fidelity Windows Sonic, Dolby Atmos, and DTS Headphone: Xspatial sound and crystal-clear chat in analog audio. The flexible, lightweight design with an adjustable headband utilizes plush cushioning to spread pressure evenly. Hear every crisp high and thunderous low through high-quality, wired audio 40mm drivers. Enjoy ultra-soft large earcups that make for a more comfortable experience during extended play sessions. Adjust the volume or quickly mute incoming noise with convenient on-ear controls. Tuck the adjustable mic away when it~s not in use. Connect directly to the Xbox Wireless Controller through the 3.5mm audio jack, no batteries required.

Charge and display your DualSense Wireless Controllers with the officially licensed Twin Charging Station for PlayStation 5. Charging two controllers at once is simple~just set them down until the LED on the DualSense indicates that they are fully charged, then just pick them up and get your game on. Or, leave your controllers on the station for an awesome, eye-catching display. Feel confident your controllers are always ready to game as they charge and display alongside your PS5 console--or anywhere you choose to display them.

PlayStation Portal Remote Player. Play your PS5 console over your home Wi-Fi with console quality controls using PlayStation Portal Remote Player. Experience the incredible immersion of DualSense wireless controller features like haptic feedback and adaptive triggers in supported games. Put your game collection on PS5 in the palm of your hand~ PlayStation Portal Remote Player can play compatible games you have installed on your console without needing to play on a TV. PlayStation Portal Remote Player can stream compatible games installed on your PS5 console. PlayStation Portal Remote Player requires broadband internet Wi-Fi with at least 5Mbps for use. For a better play experience, a high-speed connection of at least 15Mbps is recommended. The quality and connectivity of your play experience may vary depending on your network environment. A PS5 console and account for PlayStation Network is required. The PS5 console must be connected to a broadband internet connection, powered on fully or in Rest Mode, and it must be paired with your PlayStation Portal Remote Player. Games that require a VR headset (PlayStation VR or PlayStation VR2) or additional peripherals (other than a DUALSHOCK 4, DualSense, or DualSense Edge wireless controller) are not compatible. Games that must be streamed on PS5 using a PS Plus Premium membership are not compatible. Haptic feedback and adaptive trigger features available when supported by game. Individual game performance will vary based on the specific game being played, and the quality of connectivity in your network environment. Haptic feedback and adaptive trigger features are only available when those features are supported by the game being played.

Find a reliable storage solution for large files with this WD easystore external desktop hard drive. The USB 3.0 interface and backward-compatibility with USB 2.0 offer broad connectivity, while the automatic backup solution reduces the risk of data loss. This WD easystore external desktop hard drive features a 8TB capacity to provide ample space for videos and photos.
 

Does this include a USB 3.0 cable, or is that a separate accessory?

Yes it does

Extend your internet access with this handy eero TrueMesh Wi-Fi system. Distributed throughout your home, the base units included with this system make it easier to get a clear wireless signal no matter where you are. Built around a quad-core processor and a set of powerful radios, each unit in this eero TrueMesh Wi-Fi system has a maximum 40-foot range
 

I have an existing Verizon modem/router with Fios internet service. will mesh WIFI system then replace my router but is it going to work with Fios? We have an upstairs bedroom that is a almost dead zone with existing wifi.

If you can put the Verizon modem/router in bridge you can let the eero handle all the WiFi and Ethernet routing

I am considering the Eero mesh system. 1) Can I add an ethernet switch by connecting to one of the ethernet ports? 2) If I decide on the 3 eero system (instead of the 1 erro + 2 beacons) do each of the Eeros need to be connected by ethernet?

Yes my eero pro 2nd Ethernet port is connected to a gigabyte switch.
No if you go with the pro 3 pack the other 2 units will work with WiFi connection to the main router

I have just signed up for a 1-Gig download speed with Spectrum. Is the Eero designed to provide 1-Gig?

No you would need the pro WiFi 6 model for that

Costco sells the Tcl 55r613, how big a difference in features, compared to the Tcl 55r625? Personally I feel the 55r613 must be older in age. Thanks Jay.

The biggest feature is the QLED panel for brighter picture and colors.
