Great Open-Box Purchase!
on April 30, 2025
Posted by: ForeverMeek2012
Verified Purchase:Yes
My bedroom TV (Samsung Q90R 65-inch) recently became defective so I was in the market for a new bedroom TV. The 65-inch TVs being considered were the Bravia 7, C4, G4, Q90D/Q95D, and QM8. I was heavily leaning towards the G4 (on sale for $1699.99 at the time) but I saw an open-box (excellent condition) Bravia 9 65-inch. I immediately went to the local Best Buy that had it and purchased it. Upon inspecting the box, there were both "good" and "excellent" open-box stickers so I was skeptical of its condition. Got it home, unboxed, and for the most part, mostly everything was there - the screws for the stand were missing and the back panel for the inputs is the incorrect size (I'm assuming the previous owner returned this to upsize to the larger Bravia 9). I reset the TV and setup everything and WOW, the picture is just amazing as I expected. This was my first open-box purchase at Best Buy and I'm okay with it though I'll be more careful next time (i.e. just because they say it's excellent condition doesn't necessarily mean that's the case). Anyways, I'm happy with my purchase and the open-box price was slightly above $1400+ for what was as $2699.99 ($300 off sale at the time) TV brand new. I highly recommend this.

Meet the MVP of TVs! The award-winning U8 Series Mini-LED smart display from Hisense just got even better. This model is packed with lots of exciting features that dramatically improve the color, contrast and detail of every picture. Think: double the local dimming zones of our previous version, Up to Peak Brightness 3000, QLED Quantum Dot color technology, Dolby Vision HDR and Anti-Glare Low Reflection technology. Bring the sounds of the cinema directly to your living room with Dolby Atmos and a 50W 2.1.2 multi-channel audio system. We even equipped the U8 with a NEXTGEN TV ATSC 3.0 tuner and Wi-Fi 6E router compatibility, making it virtually future-proof. Plus, level up your gaming with 144Hz VRR panel, Dolby Vision Gaming and FreeSync Premium Pro.

Good & Affordable TV w/QA/QC issues!
on April 30, 2025
Posted by: ForeverMeek2012
Verified Purchase:Yes
My bedroom TV (Samsung Q90R 65-inch) recently became defective (bottom half of LEDs became dim) so I was in the market for a replacement bedroom TV but also something affordable. This would be my first Hisense TV in my life and I decided to go with it because I've heard many good things about it especially the price point (it was on sale for $699.99 at the time of purchase). Brought it home, did the setup, and started watching. The local dimming on this TV once it's turned ON is great, however, my unit had really bad DSE (Dirty Screen Effect) to where a good portion of the center of the screen looked "dirty" and it bothered the heck out of me. As much as I liked the local dimming, the DSE showing up everytime local dimming didn't function was something I couldn't live with so I ended up returning it.

Wow, Just Wow!
on February 4, 2025
Posted by: ForeverMeek2012
Verified Purchase:Yes
My current gaming laptop is an Alienware M17-R4 which is a great laptop but it's 3+ years old and I have the version with only 16 GB RAM which is soldered on unfortunately. I've been searching for a replacement laptop within the last 1-2 months and the first laptop I settled on was the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i. I don't game too much so the 9i would've been a good compromise especially since it offered a Mini LED screen for media consumption. Well, I purchased one from Best Buy and discovered a few things that bothered me with the 9i. One, even though it came with a Mini LED screen, it only works when HDR mode through Windows is activated, otherwise, you have a regular IPS display. Second, with HDR OFF/disabled, I still noticed some IPS glow and minimal backlight bleed which could be attributed to the QC process from Lenovo. I ended up returning the 9i because those "minor" issues were something I wasn't willing to compromise on especially given the price. The hunt for another laptop began. Next was the Alienware M18-R2 which has great specs and build quality but the display sucks especially for the price so this was a no go! Ultimately, it came down to the Acer Predator Helios 18 and Asus ROG Strix Scar 18. As much as I liked the design of the Scar 18, I couldn't justify the price difference of almost $1000 between the Helios 18 and Scar 18. Luckily, Best Buy had the Helios 18 on sale at the time of purchase with a sale price of $2499.99! Upon picking up my order from the store and opening it when I got home, I was surprised by the quality of the packaging! Next, the build quality seems really good and it's definitely heavy for sure! Upon booting up for the first time and going through the standard Windows process, I was amazed at the quality of the display like OMG it looks so darn good!!! Best of all, the local dimming from the Mini LED is ON at all times (i.e. no need to turn it on by some command or through enabling of HDR via Windows)! Definitely no backlight bleed or IPS glow whatsoever. The only noticeable "issue" I see is minimal glow around white text against a black background but this is expected with Mini LED! Again, I'm just stunned at the quality of the display and to me, this laptop alone is worth the display even if it didn't come with a 4090 but unfortunately you can only get the Mini LED with the 4090 from my understanding. From my research, the Helios 18 supposedly has 1000 dimming zones compared to the Scar 18 which has 2000+ dimming zones but with the difference being almost $1000, I'd take the 1000 dimming zones as it is really good already!!! If you're looking for a gaming laptop that can also function as a media device, I'd highly recommend taking a look at the Helios 18!

Great Deal @ $169.99!
on January 22, 2025
Posted by: ForeverMeek2012
I was looking to replace my 27" 1080P secondary monitor I use for work and I knew it had to have a higher resolution than 1080P but not necessarily 4K. After much searching, I came across this Samsung ViewFinity S8 27" 4K monitor on sale for $169.99! I was hesitant to purchase this unit because it also has an IPS display which are notorious for backlight bleed and/or IPS glow unless it is Mini LED. I knew it wouldn't have Mini LED given its price so I took a chance. Luckily, my unit does not seem to have any backlight bleed nor IPS glow and it seems to have good screen uniformity. The only thing I wish this had was at least two HDMI ports but it's not that big of a deal given the price. Overall, I'm very satisfied!

Annoying!

I had purchased this thinking I would get much benefit but I ended up returning this unit. My main issues were the AutoSense because when you're trying to "adjust" the holder, it would keep sensing your hand and it would just get too annoying. I don't recommend this item!

I had purchased the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless Gaming Headset for my fiance. Originally I was leaning towards the Nova Pro Wireless but I just couldn't justify the price plus this headset was part of Best Buy's Deal of the Day for only $139.99 so it was a no brainer! Overall, my fiance likes it and the price sealed the deal. I highly recommend giving this wireless headset a try especially if you can find it on "sale". q

Massive in size but good gaming router!
on November 28, 2024
Posted by: ForeverMeek2012
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased the Asus ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 Pro Tri-Band WiFi 6 Gaming Router to upgrade my Netgear Nighthawk X10 (R9000) Router. It took several tries to get the router functioning since there was an issue with the default asus website to configure it. After it was up and running, it has been a great router. It was on clearance for $359.99 (regular price was $399.99) plus I had a 15% off towards networking equipment after recycling one so I thought it was a good deal. One other thing that I didn't believe until I opened the box - this router is MASSIVE!!! Overall, if you're looking for a good gaming router then I highly recommend you give this a try.

The Dell XPS 17 laptop delivers powerful performance in an incredibly thin form factor. The stunning 4-sided InfinityEdge UHD+ display enables an amazing screen to body ratio (93.7%) and a 17-inch screen in a 15-inch size form factor. In fact, it~s smaller than 48% of 15-inch laptops. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 graphics feature unique dual opposite outlet fans, that increase fan airflow by approximately 30% and drive cooling airflow in both directions, resulting in more airflow overall and improved skin temperatures. A 100% Adobe RGB display enables you to edit your videos with confidence in their color. 100% of the enclosure is sculpted by a CNC (computer numerical control) machining process. A high precision, machine-milled aluminum chassis creates an elegant design with high build quality that~s stronger and stiffer than magnesium or plastic. A premium 17" touch laptop with a thin and light design.

When they say Ryzen 9 5900 series do they mean 5900x???? They list 12 cores and 24 threads, so that would have to be the 5900x right? Anyone confirm? Thank you
I ordered this specific build from Best Buy and I can confirm it's the 5900 and not the 5900X!!!
They're lying to you if they're telling you it comes with anything other than a 5900!!!

Take your gaming to new, smoother levels with this Corsair Gaming Polaris gaming mousepad, which features an integrated USB port to give you more room for peripherals on your system. The low-friction micro surface reduces drag for in-the-moment play, and this Corsair Gaming Polaris gaming mousepad offers ample room for high-action gaming and movement.
Does this work with Xbox one and will the lights work?
In my opinion, I think it'll work as long as your USB is capable of providing enough power to turn on the RGB lighting. If the RGB lighting does work by connecting it to your XBox, you won't be able to customize the RGB lighting since you need to install Corsair's iCUE software to do so.

No, you can't upgrade the RAM as it is soldered on so if you're going to purchase a XPS 13, make sure you purchase it with the RAM you want.
