Great little tv

Do your research and, if you like the specifications, this could be perfect for you. Great clarity and color outbof the box. Lots of apps preloaded. However, if you want to play xbox or pc games using this tv as a monitor, the refresh rate may not provide what you want. I have this mounted on the wall in a bedroom and it works well.

"as advertised". I give it 5 stars!

I have used Otterbox Defenders for years. I upgraded my phone recently and this was the next thing I bought. It is "as advertised". I give it 5 stars as it has protected my phone from drops very well. The only con I have is that the flap to the power slot is very heavy duty to the point it is hard to get open at times. You may find a cheaper knock off but the last few of these I have had lasted a long time.

Very good if you know what you want!
on February 7, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
Is this product top of the line home stereo? No. Is this better than 90% of the sound bars that are out there? Yes! Could you buy a Bose surround sound thats probably better? Yes. So, if you know what you want, this is a very good surround sound system that is good value. Yamaha puts out a very good product. This receiver decodes most if not all of the Dolby codes for movies, has a subwoofer that definitely puts out the base(!), and has lots of input options for HDMI, component, bluetooth, etc. I recommend it for the price point. You can listen to to FM radio, tv, blu-ray, or game systems and the receiver has options to tailor the output of the sound.
Cons: more difficult to hook up than a sound bar but really its not bad. The rear speakers are wired so you will have to determine if that works for you. The speakers are smallish and lightweight - thats ok for most applications but it means that the system relies on the subwoofer for most of the base. I recommend getting better speaker wire as the supplied speaker wire will work but seems very lightweight.
I use this system for all the applications mentioned above. It sounds great and is good value in my opinion. To noticeably upgrade beyond this system you would need to spend double the amount or more!
If you are not able to see this in the store then know that the 4 satellite speakers are only 6.5 inches tall. See picture.

What you would expect!

Verified Purchase:Yes
Everything has been straightforward here. You have to get all the updates for Windows so that may take a bit. I also recommend getting a dock to plug in so you can use it more like a pc when sitting at a desk - work or home.
Pros: It is lightweight, great screen resolution, and moves fast. It works with the Microsoft Office programs I need.
Cons: More costly compared to Apple I pads, lots of updates to do out of the box, you have to subscribe to MS Office, you need to install a video player, and if you want to use this as your "everything" device then you need an additional dock to do that - more money.
All things considered I knew what worked best for me then caught this on sale at Christmas.

Beware it is a collection of LIVE recordings.

Verified Purchase:Yes
If you are a fan of live albums and you like the band Foreigner then this is perfect for you as it has all their hits and the songs are recorded well.
I was looking through the bin of value CD's and grabbed this without looking closely at the front and back - only in small print on the back does it say this is an album of live recordings.

The higher cost is worth it to me.

Verified Purchase:Yes
These are excellent Logitech speakers! I recommend them. There are cheaper speaker sets that may not sound as clear or may not have as rich of bass. There are more expensive sets out there too but, IMO, you would have to be a true audiophile to pay more. They look good and are built very sturdy. There are multiple input options too as mentioned in the web-page description.
CONS? not many. Price might be a bit too high for some. The smaller speakers wire directly into the sub-woofer in a proprietary set up. So if for some reason the sub-woofer goes out then the desktop speakers are basically useless. This really shouldn't be an issue but it is a pet peeve of mine. See the attached picture with the connection. Also, no Bluetooth connections.

Very Good. (Wifi range is less than competitors).

Internet and wifi is important at our house as we do a lot of gaming - Xbox, mobile, and PC. I had an Asus model that was very similar but it locked up and I could not save it. So I researched the Netgear Nighthawk AC2300. It had good reviews and it was on sale. We are pleased with its performance overall. The only possible issue is its' overall wifi range isn't quite as good as the Asus but the difference is slight. It has 4 ethernet wired connections and two USB connections and that is pretty common. It also has clear markings and lights to tell you about connections and activity. There is an app you can put on your phone to manage your network too.
Overall I am pleased and zero problems. I recommend this router.

Very good gaming headset. Good with glasses.

I bought two different gaming headsets for my teenagers for Christmas. The HS70 SE is a great headset- works as advertised. Recommended! I did research before my purchase and read where the HS70 was good for people who wear glasses and that is true for us.
It is also lighter than the Corsair Void Pro. The Void Pro is very comparable on the specs but the HS70 does not have RGB lighting.
Easy set up.
Good battery life.
Dolby 7.1 sounds great.

Bought it for the extras!

We have seen spaceballs many times but this DVD was a special edition that had extra footage andcommentary. The DVD was on sale and the extra stuff made it worth the inexpensive price to purchase it.
So if you have not seen the movie then I recommend buying it. And if you are a big fan and want to know a little bit more about the movie then this also has those extras.

Are the rear speakers able to be attached to a speaker stand?

Yes. Mounting options are two fold- screw in or hang them on on a nail. See picture.

Why did people buy the AC2300 recently when the Netgear AC2400 has been on sale for $89? Is there something better about this router that I don't know about?

I believe the reviews for the AC2400 are less favorable than the AC2300. You could look at theose perhaps.
