The extended version is nearly 4 hours long, so grab some popcorn.
The audio is OK for the age of the film, so I don't particularly understand how the DTS 7.1 audio really help this regard.
It's cool that the Theatrical version is also included.
Nice package; love the steel box.

This is an excellent keyboard ... the problem is with Logitech's junk G Hub software. It's garbage-ware. Buy it for the keyboard, install the software to get the color layout you want and then uninstall the G Hub.

DSP Issues Never Truly Addressed...
on May 3, 2019
Posted by: YourMainDude
from The South
In follow-up to my rather detailed TIN review, I've been working with LG to obtain support and remedy for the faulty operation of this sound bar within the 1 year warranty period.
LG no longer supports this product, so even at a highly discounted $650 price, it's simply not worth it. The single firmware update LG did provide in the summer of 2018 added a center channel control that does not rectify the issue... and in fact, it makes overall operation worse - as Object Oriented sound (with respect to dialog in this particular case...) doesn't rely solely on center channel positioning.
It's also interesting that the Dolby Atmos and 'Movie' modes of operation behave the exact same way in the new 2019 SL10 sound bar. This points to some serious design issues coming from the LG engineering team.
I recommend prospective buyers demo the Samsung or Sony sound bars - as they decode Atmos sound-fields correctly.

Exceeded My Expectations
on January 18, 2019
Posted by: YourMainDude
from The South
Solid value, worth the price of admission.
G-Sync is great.
RTX in games like Battlefield V is amazing.
Power consumption is way better than expected.
Noise is non-existent.
Software support is back on track @ Nvidia - It's AMD that has the serious issues now.
This card exceeded my expectations and I'm not one to throw down six hundred dollars on a GPU. As a matter of fact, I've never spent more than a 299 in the past nor have I thrown down hard earned money for a 'Reference Card'. But this purchase was worth every penny!

Beast 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.
Enjoy the pictures. The case is NZXT H6 flow.

Great 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.
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.

Spend 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... ; )

Great 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.

The CM1000 Ultra-High Speed Cable Modem, with speeds up to 1Gbps and DOCSIS 3.1 is 10X faster than DOCSIS 3.0 devices. It's backward compatible with DOCSIS 3.0 and ready for future service plan upgrades for XFINITY from Comcast, Cox, and Spectrum. A Gigabit Ethernet port provides faster access and downloads.
 

Is this modem compatible with this router/modem combo? NETGEAR - Nighthawk Dual-Band AC1900 Router with 24 x 8 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem - Black

This is a modem. Pick one up and buy yourself a stand-along wireless router to go with it. This gives you more flexibility in the long run.
Otherwise, keep the all-in-one you already have.

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.
