Quite Good but ...
on October 17, 2019
Posted by: YourMainDude
Verified Purchase:Yes
Quite good for a back-lit LED television. Colors popped and the 4K was very striking. Unhappy with the low count of local dimming zones vs. other UHD sets. Blooming was what I would call "very distracting". Had high hopes for this Nano tech but the LCD filter layer isn't up-to-snuff yet. LG performs poorly with respect to firmware updates too. Upon setting up this TV, a notification popped up bragging about a September firmware update 'coming soon' that would improve performance of the television. September came & went and no update. LG support is useless. Nothing on their servers, nothing on their product website. Returned this set and purchases something else.
LG needs to get it's firmware engineering team straightened out... something serious. Samsung has the same deficiencies.
There's no excuse for such terrible software support on this caliber of television.

Flicker and lack of uniformity...

The panel demonstrates flicker during Xbox One feeds on a random basis. Also noticed just a bit too much murky panel uniformity.
Good entry level television for those on a budget, but don't expect high standards.

Needs better driver support from Asus...

Needs better driver support from Asus... but all the gaming mfg's have this issue. Better than MSI. Optane storage is way better than I expected. Displays is beautiful. Battery life (non-gaming) is pretty darn good. Build quality is top notch. Once Asus sorts out their driver development team, it's a solid 5 stars.

on September 22, 2019

The C9P Series is fantastic. Huge improvement over the EG9600 series of 4 years ago, albeit the curved screen was nice.
The 55" C9 has superb screen uniformity, a blazing fast processor and magnificent 4K output - no matter the source.
Waiting on the the promised firmware update that is supposed to improve performance even more ... but LG stinks at firmware support ... so I'm not holding my breath.

5 out of 5Beast Mode...Best Buy Mode!
By spiral
So far so equipped with the correct rops. Something interested parties should know. 300 fps in Splinter Cell Black List. This game has no frame gen tech, that is pure power. Completely maxed graphics 175watts. Nice! PubG maxed graphics, 300 fps, no fake frames here 150watts. I tried to get this beast above 230watts. Cyberpunk, maxed everything, ray trace/ path trace. Wouldn't budge for the watts, yes the fps tanked. My point is, I'm wondering what programs were running when the 12VHPR over heated on the cards that have been reported with such problems. For informational purposes, im running a Montech titan 80+platinum psu 1000watts. It has atx3.1 and pcie5. Will this make a difference, time will tell.
The card comes with an anti sag rod. Not thrilled with it, but it has a magnetic bottom so it wont shift around to easily if you need to move the case. The card was definitely packaged well. I actually snagged an Areo first but needed to wait a bit longer so i canceled that one. It was either white or grey and this card looks awesome in grey. Reminds me of Tomb Raider 2 when Lara took over the Hanger with the plane!
Card stays cool barely hit 60c with Cyberpunk maxed the way it explained earlier. Super sweet!
Interested buyers, get the bestbuy app, save every card you're interested in, to your favs and look them over early in the morning, 4-6am, i snagged my card this way. The blue, "see details", is a possible indicator for in-stock or nearby items. Had some cash back reward and got this card for MSRP and it's a beast and the 5080 is not necessary. Upgraded from an, :( EVGA o7, 2060 super.
Honorable mention!
As always, Best Buy for the win!
Seriously, the fact they let customers login, pre-purchase these hard to come by stock, in some cases, results in same day pickup, customer focused, 1000%. Cant say that for the micro place.

4 out of 5Great Smart Lock with a Few Quirks
By UnkinB
I recently installed the Yale Assure Lock 2 Deadbolt (Black Suede, Wi-Fi, Keypad with Key) and overall, I’m very impressed. It’s a sleek, modern smart lock that adds both style and security to my home. Here are my thoughts:
Pros: Multiple Unlock Options: Keypad, app, Auto-Unlock, and voice assistants (Alexa, Google, Apple HomeKit). Remote Access: Control and monitor the lock from anywhere using the Yale Access App. Auto-Lock Feature: Automatically locks the door when it closes—great for peace of mind. Easy Installation: Took about 20 minutes with just a screwdriver. Clean Design: The keypad is illuminated and fingerprint-resistant, and the lock looks great on the door.

Easy Installation: Took about 20 minutes with just a screwdriver. Clean Design: The keypad is illuminated and fingerprint-resistant, and the lock looks great on the door.
Cons: App Setup Could Be Smoother: No “skip” option during setup walkthroughs, which was a bit annoying. Bulky Interior Unit: The inside part of the lock is larger than expected. Limited to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi: Doesn’t support 5 GHz networks and only works in the U.S. and Canada. Keypad Behavior: You have to press a confirmation button after entering your code—would prefer auto-unlock after the last digit.
If you're looking for a reliable smart lock with great features and remote access, this is a solid choice. Just be aware of the regional limitations and the slightly bulky design. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone upgrading their home security.

2 out of 5Spend a few extra bucks on an actual smartlock
By Jordan
If you are thinking about a smart lock, and are on a budget, the Yale - Code Keypad Deadbolt is a good option to consider.
When we purchased our home, there was already an existing smartlock. Unfortunately, it was a smartlock from a rental company, so we didn't have what we needed to make personalized changes. So, I explored options and knew that I did not want to change back to a traditional lock.
The opportunity came up to try the Yale - Code Keypad Deadbolt, so I went for it. To start, you don't really get much from an entry level lock like this. I think you are barely getting the bare minimum from a lock like this. So, keep that in mind when shopping for something like this.
One of the biggest setbacks from this is you don't get any app control. This means that there is no bluetooth or wifi connectivity available. You are really only getting a code access lock and a key for backup. If you are wondering if there is a way to turn this into a wifi enabled lock...there isn't. This isn't like a true smart-lock from Yale that has a slot for the wifi module. So, you can't convert it over to a smart-lock.
Another downside is that this lock does NOT have a sensor for the automatic lock feature that most smart-locks come with. The Yale - Code Keypad Deadbolt lock is just programmed to lock automatically after a few seconds, whether the door is closed or not. It really sucks shutting the door and not realizing that the striker is opened and the lock daamajing the door jamb. So, keep that in mind if you do dicide to purchase the Yale - Code Keypad Deadbolt .
Aside from this, the keypad is very responsive, but does feel a bit cheap. So far, I haven't had any issues getting the keypad to unlock.
In my opinion, I would just recommend that you spend teh extra bucks and go with a true smart-lock. The added benefits of a smart-lock are well worth the few extra dollars.

Horrible Review
August 25, 2025
This review is horrible because Yale offers a wide range of actual Smart Locks with IoT connectivity. This design is basic in functionality, is price accordingly and is for those that don't want a Smart Lock but rather, seek key-less convenience. This isn't actually a "Smart Lock" and rightfully so - because Yale doesn't even brand it as "Smart". A little bit of advanced research would have aided in your review... ; )

3 out of 5Great Deal, Mid-Range Performance
By AlessandroD
Don’t get me wrong — this laptop is super powerful, and you don’t have to worry about whether it’ll run next-gen games. The price is insanely good (I got mine for $999).
That said, performance-wise, it’s only around the level of an RTX 5060 Ti — which isn’t bad, but considering that a desktop 5060 Ti costs way less, it’s a bit disappointing. You can unlock undervolting to squeeze out a bit more performance and improve heat management, but it takes some tweaking and isn’t straightforward for everyone.
Other downsides include the screen being locked at 240 Hz, the battery lasting around four hours or less depending on what you’re doing, and formatting? Forget it. The BIOS has VMD enabled — and the worst part? It’s hidden. You’ll need to go into the BIOS and press Ctrl + S to deactivate it.
Fan and heat management could definitely be better out of the box, but honestly, you get what you pay for. As for the speakers… I could probably buy better ones on SHEIN or AliExpress.
Overall, I’m not complaining — it’s been a great deal from the start, and I don’t plan on changing laptops for the next 5–8 years. Final score: 7/10.

LG - 5.1.2-Channel Hi-Res Audio Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer and Dolby Atmos Technology - Black
Go beyond surround sound to the dynamic audio of Dolby Atmos with this LG sound bar. It produces conventional 5.1-channel sound and works with Atmos 3D audio sources and high-resolution audio for a more realistic experience. This LG sound bar works with Google Assistant and Chromecast for voice-command capability of your entertainment selections.
I have the same issue as many other described over here and LG website. The sound of the voices is NOT laud enough during the surround sound action scenes. I chated with LG & they could not help. Could you please advise if someone has found a solution?
LG social media CS will reply to questions and reviews but when you call them, they want the unit returned. They explain that that they do not have an upper-level support team for sound bars like they do for say - televisions. So essentially, their social media respondents are wasting time - making it appear as though they are responsive in a positive way. I personally find that insulting.
There has been only 1 firmware update to this product and it doesn't fix the problem.

Will this card be good with a 550w power supply i am using an i7 8700k and i want this card but i only have a 550w power supply
The Nvidia site clearly states that a 550W supply is the minimum requirement. An 8700k is a very power efficient CPU, so assuming you don't have a lot of other high power consuming devices in your rig - like a huge bank of traditional power hungry hard drives and other PCI cards - and your power supply is of a good quality, I wouldn't worry.
You've met the 'typical' minimum spec defined by Nvidia. Battlefield V running in Ultra RTX mode barely pushes my 'loaded' system above 300 watts with this card.
