Good for secondary for office
on February 12, 2021
Posted by: Ftrain
Verified Purchase:Yes
Works well as a second monitor. Wish I could have gotten one to match my existing lenovo but for the price this was good enough. It is not the sharpest 2K I have ever used but again, good enough for office tasks on a dual monitor setup

Good sound quality, chrome cast seals the deal
on December 12, 2020
Posted by: Ftrain
Verified Purchase:Yes
Got this with a great deal when Best Buy started to carry it. I am a polkie with polk in my theater room as well so i like Polk sound. This is being used with a 42” tv in a billiard room for background audio and tv. The chrome cast was really the deal cincher here for me. Sound quality is good not great but for this price point what I expected. No issues with sub pairing about 8’ away. Nice little unit when compared against the price of most other models with chrome cast for sure. Does not have its own app but works with google home. A little odd in that regard but nothing serious.

LG's ultralarge capacity washer saves you time and energy while not compromising on cleaning performance. Our 6Motion technology uses up to 6 different wash motions to provide a smart cleaning experience that is gentle on clothes and maximizes washing performance. The 4.5 cu.ft. capacity on washer means you have the room to do more laundry in fewer loads. And ColdWash technology uses cold water and enhanced washing motions to penetrate deep into fabrics, giving you cold water savings with warm water performance.

Good features can’t be beat for the price

Verified Purchase:Yes
So far so good. This machine is the base model but frankly i didn’t want or need the wifi or more advanced cleaning like steam cleaning for $200 more. This washer has all of the right settings and is the large capacity drum so it fits what i wanted. Stays well balanced and so far does a good job on the clothes. Thought about too loader but the energy and water savings won out for front loaders.

Upgrade compatible PC systems with the WD_Black SN750 internal SSD. Read speeds of up to 3,470MB/s offer improved load times, while the M.2 form factor means you can directly plug into the motherboard without extra cabling. Compared to typical 2.5-inch SSDs, this WD_Black SSD fits double the storage density on a single-sided drive, making it suitable for portable builds.

Drive is great; cloning software worthless
on September 12, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
So the drive is really good so far. The software really wants you to have the drive installed as primary first so its chicken and egg. The Samsungs for instance have great cloning software.

The Smart Light Dimmer Switch adds smart bulb functionality to traditional bulbs and keeps LED smart light bulbs smart so that you can dim any room with any dimmable bulb. The smart WiFi switch works as a dimmable light switch while enhancing the traditional bulb functionality to include out-of-home control, scheduling, and scene-setting. When CYNC Smart LED Bulbs are installed, the dimmable switch allows app or voice control even when power is turned off at the switch. Pair the dimmable light switch with CYNC Smart Bulbs in other fixtures like table lamps and control all your lights in the room from one wall switch. Our smart dimmer switch wirelessly connects with other CYNC Smart Light Switches so you can control the same light fixture from multiple switches. The smart dimmer switch also allows for single-pole, 3-way, or 4-way installation with other Cync smart switches. Install the smart switches on your own with easy, DIY setup or with the help of a professional in newer homes built after 1980 using 2.4GHz WiFi. The smart light switch connects directly with Amazon Alexa and Google Home devices without a hub required. Neutral wire--usually a white or gray wire--is required.

Works well. Configuration a little nonintuitive
on April 25, 2020
Posted by: Ftrain
Verified Purchase:Yes
Got two of these for a theater room application. First time doing a smart switch so it may just be me but the install was a little odd. The electrical side was easy enough once I determined where the constant hot was. The app found the two switches fine. Configuration on net work went well. Getting them to work As one was a little odd. Honestly not sure how it happened but I think the he app figured things out once I put them in the same room and gave it a few minutes. After that things seem to work as one unit. Google mini controls them just fine. Worth the sale price and so far so good.

Good reviews and great contrast
on April 17, 2020
Posted by: Ftrain
Verified Purchase:Yes
So going mostly on the reviews this was one of the better TVs around in this price range. It adds the quantum dot which is basically saying you get a better contrast picture. I will say that so far, I have seen some framing issues with older 480P and 4:3 content but nothing I would say would make me take it back. The 4k is great on this set, but the contrast is out of this world for under $500 on sale. Just could not be beaten at that price.
Cant say enough about Roku. Just the best platform overall out there for streaming.

We bough two :D. The college kids are back now and kept wanting to make smoothies with our large basic blender. It works fine for larger things but this is a perfect single use size and works well with everything they throw at it for smoothies.

Really needed to upgrade and going to this rather than the One S was easy with only $50 difference at the time. This can double as a 4k blueray player to help future proof it a bit more.

Not cooling after install

Bought this fridge And installation. Installers put it in and declared it good ( didn’t level it) Ran all weekend and didn’t cool. Ok so i know it was open box but don’t open box items say they are tested? This obviously was not tested. They didn’t have a new one in the store anyway so i went with the open box model because it said it would work. On day two of not working fridge.

3 out of 5Chromecast isn't REAL
By roebling
Polk Signs S3 is a great product -- setup is effortless, sound is fabulous
BUT I thought I was upgrading my JBL SB200 when I bought Polk's S3 for its built-in Chromecast but I wasn't! What I didn't guess was that Polk's Chromecast isn't REAL Chromecast -- it won't cast video from YouTube, from Amazon Prime, from Netflix, from Britbox, from Hulu, from Magellan, from SlingTV, from ANYTHING!

Chromecast AUDIO only
February 3, 2021
Admittedly it would not be intuitive from the everyday marketing but most sound bars only do audio streaming with just one or two exceptions. Reading the product description fully would help to clarify that in this case as the description clearly outlines chromecast used as a music streaming service. Google has not helped this with their marketing either since they recently removed the chromecast audio device from sale. However all of this being said it is REALLY a music streaming only service on this and most other sound bars.

Yep. Couple of options. Connect a doorbell transformer of the proper specs in the details of the product. This is how it is used to replace existing doorbells but you could do the same even without an existing doorbell. You can also buy a solar panel to provide battery charging during the day.

which soundbars can be controlled by comcasts new xr11 remote.
Remote does not have an AUX button. I tried my Visio VSB200 which worked with Directv but not with this remote. I tried Bose Wave and that doesn't work either.
I am looking for an inexpensive unit without a separate woofer since we have a smaller viewing area.
Thanks for any help

does this new model support dolby vision?
I see the Panasonic rep ?? just said yes, but I just bought this projector and nowhere on it does it point to dolby vision support. Also the documentation on the Panasonic site does not mention Dolby vision either. Panasonic, can you confirm if this player support Dolby vision and if so how do we get that confirmed? Is it via a firmware update etc?
