I Love It
on March 28, 2020
Posted by: Nate
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this on sale for $260.
Before this watch I had the Fitbit Versa for about a year and a half. I loved the Versa and was disappointed when it wouldn't charge anymore. Naturally I planned on getting the Versa 2, but I decided to shop around and with this watch going on sale, I figured I'd give it a try. Turns out, it's so much better than the Versa. I love that this watch has a speaker, I've not had one connectivity issue (I had many with the Versa), the ability to write out responses to texts and emails is great. There are so many more apps available than the Versa has and I find myself using this as more than a just a watch, like I did with my Versa. The screen is bright and vibrant and I can get at least 4 days of use with one charge (though I usually throw it on the charger every time I shower). If you're in the market for a smart watch, I recommend you give this one a try.

Didn't know what to do with old dryer and for a small fee they hauled it away. Didn't want to deal with trying to find another way to get rid of it.

This dryer cord is required for successful hook-up of your new appliance. Our delivery personnel will determine whether a 3- or 4-prong cord is needed based on the outlet behind your existing dryer.

Great... For some people
on February 20, 2020
Posted by: Nate
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this on sale for $200, with an additional $50 gift card from Best Buy.
I've been a fan of Philips Hue lights for a while now and getting the lights to react to the pictures on the TV is something I've wanted since day one. This device does just that.
The Good
I have three Hue lights in my living room, a light strip behind the TV and two lamps. I love how the lights react to certain zones on the TV. The light strip changes according to the colors on the middle of the TV, and the lamps react to the colors on the their respective lower corners of the TV (left lamp is tied to bottom left corner of TV) I'm waiting for a sale to add additional lights to the room.
Light changes are quick and with the app you can adjust the brightness and intensity of the effect.
You can also set it to react to sound so that the lights change color based on the sounds.
Initial setup is pretty quick and straightforward.
Playing games on the PS4 Pro is awesome. It really adds to the immersion. You can forget that the lights are on, but then something happens on screen, an explosion or a flash of light, and your whole room lights up and it's really cool.
The Bad
The Hue Play seems to be extremely picky about which HDMI cords it likes. When I initially setup the device, I used the short HDMI cable included to connect the Hue Play to my Roku Ultra and the image kept cutting out and flickering. I changed the HDMI and didn't have any problems. When I tried my PS4 Pro, the signal would drop randomly, the screen would go black and it would take a few seconds before the picture came back. Didn't have any issues with my Sony 4k disc player. I changed the HDMI I was using with the Roku to my PS4 and didn't have any problems with the signal dropping on the PS4, but when I went back to the Roku, random signal losses. I tried about 4 or 5 HDMI cables I had, and I even bought a brand new one, and only found one that would work, and it wasn't even the new one. I exchanged the Hue Play thinking, hoping, I got a dud, but the issues were the same with the new unit. So for now, I have three devices connected and I have three HDMI cables it likes. I hope by the time I want to add a 4th device there's and update that addresses this issue, or at least I'm lucky enough to find another HDMI that works with it.
With my Sony 4k disc player I do get Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos pass through, but the color effect doesn't work right. It does change a little but the colors aren't accurate and usually stayed white, only changing in brightness. When I watch a 4k movie I'm not too concerned with adding the Hue color changing effects so I'm fine with it not working. I'd rather have Dolby Vision.
As far as watching movies with the Hue Play, for me, having the lights in the room react when watching regular movies and TV shows didn't add a lot of wow factor. The colors are usually more muted and didn't impress much. Animated movies, however, look great. The vivid colors on screen look awesome when you have the same colors around the room. The same goes for playing video games. So I usually only enable the Hue Play when watching animated movies and playing games. I did watch the Taylor Swift concert on Netflix and the light effects were really cool there too, probably the most impressive, immersive experience yet.
I'm using a sound bar along with this setup and I go back and forth between turning it on and off. If we're just watching something on OTA TV, it's usually off, and on when playing games or using Roku. This causes some issues with not getting sound when I switch the sound bar on sometimes and sometimes I have to turn everything off and on again to get it working. Not a huge problem, but worth noting.
Conclusion
All in all, it will impress you. I mainly use it when playing video games and with the occasional movie. I don't know if it's worth the regular price of $230, especially with the issues I've had and the fact that I don't use it daily. But, it does add to certain viewing experiences greatly and for $150, I'm mostly happy with it.

Furnish your kitchen with this Cuisinart six-piece metallic knife set. The nonstick coating resists wear and tear to ensure cleaning and slicing through a variety of foods is easy, while the soft-touch handles provide a firm, comfortable grip. This stainless steel Cuisinart six-piece metallic knife set features blade guards for safe storage.
 

How can this be listed as a 12piece set when its states right in the description its 6 knives? Are we counting the covers as well here? This is extremely misleading.

Yes, 6 knives, and 6 covers. Note: my set came with 6 covers, but they weren't all the right size, so one knife has a cover that's too small. Not a big enough deal to return the set.

Enjoy movies and other streaming content with this Sony 4K Blu-ray disc player. Built-in Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity allow for media to be streamed in high quality, while a super quick start mode minimizes fuss during use. This Sony 4K Blu-ray disc player has two HDMI outputs for simultaneous use with multiple screens.
 

Been waiting for this new Sony Blu-ray player to get to the stores. BUT! I read on the internet that there are only 2 streaming apps installed. Netflix and YouTube. My question is, "Can you download other streaming apps"? I need Hulu and Vudu.

I have this player (UBP X800 M2) and I asked Sony customer service about that, and unfortunately, Netflix, YouTube, and Amazon Prime Video, is all they support right now, but did say it would be possible for further support with an update, but couldn't confirm that such update would be coming at any point. Fingers crossed it will, but honestly, you're buying this player for disc playback and it's awesome. Quality is amazing and with all the settings on Auto, I'm getting Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision. No need to mess around with the settings or any of that. I have a Roku Ultra for other streaming services.

Take movie nights to the next level with this 5.1.2 VIZIO home theater sound system. It has Dolby Atmos technology built-in, so sound seems to come from all around you, and a six-inch powerful subwoofer creates thumping bass you can feel. This VIZIO home theater sound system has a main sound bar that produces rich, clear audio.
 

What speaker stands are recommended for the rear speakers?

I bought some Atlantic speaker stands. I really like them, but they did require some modification.

The bottom part of the bracket stuck out further than the speaker, and had to be cut. Also, on the back I had to use a spacer and a longer screw than what came with the stands so that the connection to the speaker on the back could fit. I used parts/pieces that I had so I didn't have to buy anything.

From what I've seen, the way these speakers plug in with the jack, most speaker stands will require some modification, but don't let that keep you from buying these speakers. I've had them for almost 2 months now and I live them.

Are the two rear speakers also connected wirelessly to the soundbar?

No, the rear satellites connect via wire to the sub. The wires are pretty long so they don't have to be close to the sub.
