Best bang for the Buck

I've never had one fail and I've owned a dozen or so of this (and prior versions). Batteries just need to be replaced every so many years. Like all batteries in this size it will be about half the cost of the unit to replace both batteries in the unit. Some versions are easier to replace but all are user replaceable.

Young Danny Madigan (Austin O'Brien) is a lonely 11-year-old boy who escapes from his bleak reality by glorying in the action adventure movies of his favorite film character, Jack Slater (Arnold Schwarzenegger). When his best friend, Nick the projectionist, gives him a special ticket to the new Slater film, Danny is magically transported into Jack's world, where the good guys always win. Danny becomes his helper as Jack battles a trio of nefarious bad guys, Benedict (Charles Dance), Vivaldi (Anthony Quinn) and The Ripper (Tom Noonan). But things get out of hand when Benedict steals Danny's magic ticket stub and transports himself into the real world, where crime can, and often does, pay. Jack and Danny must leave fictional Los Angeles for real-life New York and battle the villains without the aid of movie magic or stuntmen.

![Minions: The Rise of Gru - 4K Blu-Ray [Standard] [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/8b17a1d0-e548-4036-b776-b2f267aad0f7.jpg)
It was the early '70s, and the Minions (voiced by Pierre Coffin) were in the market for a new master-so they glommed on to Gru (Steve Carell), then just a 12-year-old fanboy of the criminal crew called the Vicious 6. When the 6 jumped out ex-honcho Wild Knuckles (Alan Arkin), Gru offered to replace him... and after getting laughed off, his vengeful attempts to show up the cabal got their attention in the worst way. Fun franchise entry co-stars the voices of Taraji P. Henson, Michelle Yeoh, Lucy Lawless, Julie Andrews.

Coming off of therapy, the assassin code-named InchLadybugInch (Brad Pitt) felt sure his string of bad luck was behind him-and that his new gig retrieving a briefcase from a Tokyo-to-Kyoto high-speed train would be a piece of cake. He'd be wrong on both counts, as a half-dozen other contract killers were after the same prize... and their seemingly unconnected agendas would prove anything but. Audacious actioner co-stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, Joey King, Michael Shannon. 126 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

The High Lumen bulb provides a powerful white light that is bright enough to fully illuminate the kitchen, garage, or any other room where you need functional lighting. With 1600 lumen output of brilliant light, it's no surprise that it's Philips Hue's brightest bulb. Control instantly via Bluetooth in one room or connect to a Hue Bridge to unlock the full power of Hue, including automations and out-of-home control, sold separately.

Hue bulbs are expensive. Nothing compares though to the quality of the product. Flexibility and constant updates of the app. This is one of the brightest they make. Saves money in long run over regular (non LED) bulbs.

Enjoy the 75-inch TCL QLED 4K UHD TV screen that showcases brilliant blacks and captivating colors. Quantum Dot technology provides a full palette of rich colors, increasing the picture's vibrancy. In addition, the TCL 8-Series TV offers mini-LED backlight display technology. This and Contrast Control Zones provide viewers with a high-degree of precision, smoothness, uniformity, brightness, and illumination, not to mention a spectacular, immersive viewing experience on the FullView edge-to-edge glass display. Four HDMI ports and one USB let you connect multiple devices.
Overall5 out of 5
5 out of 5In Awe at the Picture Quality and Value
By SoxFan85
This TV exceeds my expectations, which I admit were pretty high going in. When all my new TV research started pointing to TCL's new mini-LED models as a way for me to get picture quality that rivals the best in the industry, but at 1/2 to 2/3 the cost, my hopes were way up. The TV was delivered last Friday and I feel like I won the lotto!
My first impression on unboxing was that the TV is very well built. The metal screen frame looks and feels high-end. The fit and finish is great - there is nothing cheap about this TV and it is clear no corners were cut. The included stand comes in two pieces and it looks like it would easily screw to the back panel of the TV, but I wall mounted mine so I cannot speak to how easy or difficult it would have been to install the included stand.
Setting up the TV was easy - just follow the onscreen steps to connect to wifi and pick the icons for whatever is hooked up, which in my case is satellite, a blu-ray player, and PS4. I already have a Roku account and linking the account took only a few clicks on my phone. All of my Roku apps automatically loaded, which was a huge time saver, but I found out later that you will need to login individually to these apps (like Youtube, Prime, netflix, or Hulu) the first time you use them.
The picture quality is just awesome. I tested the TV out over the weekend with a mix of live sports (mostly football) and streaming shows and movies from Prime and Netflix. The picture is bright and edges are crisp and clean. I can see details that just were not visible on my old Samsung - like the details of woven fabrics or individual leaves on a landscape of trees. But above all, I just can't get over the insanely vivid and lifelike color.
I highly recommend this TV. It has an elegant, high end look and a truly sunning picture, and I saved literally thousands from what the other tops brands would charge for similar performance - thank you QLED, thank you mini-LED's, thank you TCL!

Doesn't "Rival" but does come pretty close.
November 13, 2019
I wouldn't say it "rivals the best in the industry". It's a very good set, but it doesn't rival the best, it comes pretty darn close through and yes for a fraction of the cost. But if you want the best you'll have to fork over a few thousand more. If you're ok with the limits of the set, which aren't many, this is a good choice for the money.
I'm likely getting this same set myself once it goes on sale. I can afford the better sets but the high end marketing is changing quickly so why spend twice as much for something that will more out of date in 3-5 years when I can spend half now on something fairly close and have the other half left to get the next best thing in 3-5 years. If you want cutting edge TV the days of keeping your set for 5-10 years are LONG gone.

Does anyone has a link to a picture of the remote. I assume it has extra buttons compared to s standard Roku media player, such as input?
