It moves in every direction!

With the need for a good strong TV mount that also had a long range to stick out, this was very handy. I use to to hold a 55" TV out from the wall in the bedroom that my in-laws are staying in so they can see the TV better (well, 18" closer better) while laying in bed. I needed one I could trust would stay in position too because we didn't want to pull it out every night and push it in every morning. So mounting was of high importance.
The mount was built for houses with 16" center studs. My house is newer so it's 24" center. To fix that issue, I just used a piece of pressboard I had in the garage that was over 35" long. I screwed it into the studs then installed the mount where one side was in a stud. The other side was only to the pressboard. Here we are about 2 months later and it's still holding strong with the mount extended fully at all times.
I love the full range of motion this has. It's best to hold the mount to adjust it than the TV. It tilts up and down too. Would totally recommend this!

I had a Pixel 3XL that just up and died. So I had to get another phone. The only complaint is the size of the screen. It's much smaller than what I had but that's not the phone's fault so I still give this a 5 star. But the power is double. The RAM and ROM are double. So this is a much faster phone. I am glad I got it and the 5G is much better than 4G LTE. I would recommend this phone since it's native Google and not bloated with overlays like other Android phones get.

Excellent Headphones
on October 23, 2020
Posted by: Paul
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've been using these for over 2 months now. I really can't find anything that I could report as an issue that can't be fixed by changing a setting. I do notice the headband does adjust a bit too easy and sometimes doesn't hold in the fully closed position. Not a big deal since I've got such a big head, I pull them out all the way.
These have performed flawlessly from day one. The sound is crisp and clear. Bass is there and my favorite bass song can be played and hear them low lows.
The ANC is perfect. I work as a programmer on a noisy production floor so the noise cancel is needed! I can also continue to talk to others while wearing them. Just pause my music and can carry on a conversation with no issues. I can hear better if I remove them, but most of the time I don't need to.
I love how I can connect them to both my phone and laptop at the same time. If I get a call, the music or video (playing on the laptop) pauses so I can answer then restarts when then call is done.
I haven't really pushed the battery time. I'll use them for 9+ hours (with ANC on all day) then plug them in overnight at my desk. I usually have about 70% battery left at this point.
I would highly recommend these if you are looking for some very nice wireless headphones.

New to 4K. This collection features the wonder of the entire Star Wars saga, capturing the moments from a young Anakin Skywalker's descent into the dark side to the rise of the Resistance and their struggle to restore peace in the galaxy. The story that electrified a generation comes to a striking conclusion.

This is a really cool setup for all the movies. Each movie has a Blu-ray disk, 4K disk, and a Highlights/Making of disk. Thus the 27 disks. It's like a large book with the disks in slots at the top of each page. The box (the black part of the picture) slides out both sides like an elevator door and the silver book comes out. It's a pretty cool setup. I've always said that I will not buy any more of these movies (I have Eps 4-6 on VHS) until all 9 were done and sold in one pack. So glad I waited!

Sounds awesome once connected
on February 2, 2020
Posted by: Paul
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the fourth Vizio soundbar system I've purchased. You'd think it'd get easier to connect to them as the years go. Sadly this is not the case. Then why would I buy yet another one? Simplicity around the house? Sound is awesome? Loyal to a brand person? Maybe all of those?
I got an 'open box' and saved over $200 off the sale price so I figured why not? The connection process is similar but instead of hearing a tone proving connected, it just kept saying, "Searching" so I pressed the + key anyway and my phone made the expected tone and the soundbar quit saying "Searching". But when I tried to Cast, it wouldn't. I had to factory reset a few times to get it to work. Took about 25 minutes before I could even use it. I've had plenty of experience with Vizio soundbars and what's worked for me so I used those skills on this thing.
Then the next morning, same thing. "Searching". Had to reconfigure it again. I got my TV a couple days later and have had zero issues since.
Maybe it was open box because the previous person couldn't get it to connect? The rear speakers appeared untouched. There was some damage to the soundbar but none worth returning it for.
Using the ARC connection, when I turn my TV on (an LG), the soundbar turns on. Same with turning it off.
The bass is amazing (just like my other Vizio soundbar subs) and surround is amazing. The sound these systems produce makes the pain of getting it set up worth it (though you shouldn't have to endure pain in the first place). I didn't have any issues with my other systems. Fortunately, I've not experienced any issues since it finally started working!

Could be improved

For what I was looking for, this was the only soundbar mounting system I could find. I was able to twist the bars (and speaker attachment plates) so they went under my TV to hold the soundbar in front of it for the Atmos upward firing speakers. But because they are curved, instead of right angles, they go way below the TV. I was able to use velcro strips to hold the power cord and HDMI cable against the rods so it looks decent.
I'm glad the rods are long enough to allow me to do what I did. It was easy to assemble and add to the wall hanger.

For spare bedroom

Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this for my father-in-law since he was moving into our spare bedroom. Didn't want to buy a separate Roku for him so just got a TV that had one built in. The picture is a great picture! Since it's not used for action movies and in more for just casual watching, I didn't need a high end TV. TCL had been reviewed by other sites as a great TV so I gave it a shot. So far so good and I would recommend it. My only personal issue is the remote doesn't feel as tough and sturdy as the ones that come with a Roku device though it looks just like them.

This replaced a 55" M series that is 2 years old and being moved into the computer room to be my computer monitor.
I didn't expect to really notice a difference because a TV is a TV right? Boy was I wrong! Just the brightness and color of this is cool! It was a great price and see other TV's the same size or smaller that are twice the price just to get the same quality of picture. I'd highly recommend the M-Series Quantum to anyone. I could only imagine what the P-Series is like if this one is this good!

Best I've heard so far
By Paul
Got these in the mail yesterday after pre-ordering them back in early October for my wife's birthday last Monday. We'd just returned a set of true wireless earbuds from a different, though highly reputable, company because of poor sound. I've never owned Jabra before so I didn't know what to expect.
We were blown away with the sound. I love my music and picky with the sound quality and have been through many different sets of earbuds because of it. I'd yet to find a pair of any earbuds (wired or wireless) that satisfied me.
I loved how with the app, you can control five different frequencies and it's enough to give you the range you want. Presets are good too. It does take a second for the buds to tune into the new setting while you adjust them. It's not enough to complain about and understandable. But once set, it's good until you change it.
The Passive Noise reduction is great since you can totally block out the noise around you or let it in a lot and anywhere in between. It's great at work for when someone comes into your area and you need to know they are there. Or block out everyone when commuting on that noisy train or bus!
You can also control how much your voice is used when making calls. Usually when you talk on the phone with earphones, you can't hear yourself or you're muffled to yourself. These allow you to add your voice so you can hear it and it's not muffled out. Sound quality was great once we figured out the volume needs turned up on the earbuds by press/hold the right one and not just on the phone. Volume down is press/hold left one.
Over all these are wonderful and I would highly recommend. It would have been nice if a 'cheat card' had been included so we knew how to handle the earbud buttons. I had to download the datasheet from Jabra's website to figure them out then took a picture with my phone of the part explaining this for future reference.

I returned
November 8, 2019
I returned the Cambridge Audio Melomania 1. They were highly recommended but I didn't find the sound quality to be what I wanted. The app for them was lacking in many areas. For the price, it wasn't worth waiting to see if they were going to update it. If you don't want bass, they were really good! But there was nothing below the 1K frequency. I should be able to just put them in my ear and have great sound. I gave them a full 2 day trial before giving up.

When will the Jabra 75t in the all black be released at Best Buy. One of the websites I was on said November first it will be available in the states. There are no dates and I want a set. Love the 65ts and want to get this pair.

They are now! Mine were mailed to me on the 4th and as of this writing, the website allows you to add it to your shopping cart which I'd presume you can then buy. You can't even add it to your cart at that conglomerate web place named after a jungle in South America.

can the unit be transported on its side?

As with all refrigerators/freezers, it's recommended it's not transported on its side. I guess it would depend on the distance too.
