Good protection while keeping the phone slim
on November 5, 2019

Verified Purchase:Yes
It’s a pretty solid protection case. Every side is protected with precise cutout for the buttons and speaker/microphone holes. The back is raised enough to provide protection for the camera, and the front has a raised lip around the edge to keep the screen from touching when placed faced down on a flat surface. The buttons still feel responsive with good flexibility. Another plus is that keeps it easy to slide the phone in and out of your pocket. It does all this while maintaining the phone’s slimness, adding minimal thickness and weight. Recommended.
Note this is for the smaller 11 Pro (not the 11 Pro Max).

Still holds up
on November 5, 2019
Posted by: samlop10
Verified Purchase:Yes
The movie that started the found-footage craze still has a few scares up its sleeve. With minimal gore and plenty of atmosphere, The Blair Witch Project is still a solid horror film. It may have lost a bit of its effect, but even after all these years it is still worth a rewatch, proving that sometimes what you can’t see is farmore scary than the alternative. Blu ray picture quality is fine. The whole thing is found footage so there is hardly a jump in quality due to the source. Audio is same. Limited by its source. If you have the DVD already getting the blu-ray might be a bit pointless. But otherwise, at its current uber-cheap price, its worth adding to anyone’s collection.

Keep your desktop free from clutter while still enjoying exceptional picture quality with this Samsung 27-inch monitor. The space-saving design attaches to the back of your desk for a more unique setup, and the WQHD resolution delivers crisp, clear images. With a slim panel and three-sided bezel-less design, this Samsung 27-inch monitor is perfect on its own or as part of a multidisplay configuration.

Simple, practical, and stylish
on March 26, 2019

Verified Purchase:Yes
It’s not the cheapest monitor in the market given it’s technical capabilities (which is why I knocked off one star), but it is an overall great monitor. It’s greatest strength relies on the fact that it is a very practical monitor which does save you a lot of desk space. It looks stylish and elegant without any bulk and very thin bezels. I only game on consoles so I have not been able to test how it looks with games running 144hz or the QHD resolution, but I do think the resolution given the refresh rate is a good compromise (the 32” model is 4K but lacks the 144Hz feature). It is not 4K but it is higher than 1080p, and at 27” the graphics look pretty great without needing to resize the objects due to the them being too small at native resolution (which would be needed for 4K at this size). I am using it with a Mac mini and the colors and image quality are very solid. It’s only SDR (no HDR or Wide Color Gamut) but the color gradients and overall image processing are high quality. Contrast is not the best, but then again, unless you get a one which FALD (which runs considerably more expensive) this is as good as it gets for a monitor. Overall, if you want something solid yet simple, practical, and stylish, this is the monitor to get.

Good if imperfect upgrade
on March 26, 2019
Posted by: samlop10
Verified Purchase:Yes
It’s not the best MCU movie, but it is still quite entertaining. The 4K blu-ray adds a lot of contrast to the picture which really makes use of the HDR. Unfortunately, this also causes a bit of black crush in darker areas. It doesn’t ruin it, thankfully, and it still looks overall better than the standard blu-ray. Audio is a definite upgrade to DTS-X and it is very aggressive. There’s not a ton of activity in the height channels but it does make use of them when the on-screen action calls for it. At the current price, it’s a worthy purchase, especially for MCU fans.

Decent horror/thriller
on March 26, 2019
Posted by: samlop10
Verified Purchase:Yes
Wes Craven tries his hand at supernatural horror once more. The end result is more Nightmare on Elm Street than Shocker. It’s not as good as Nightmare... mind you, but it does have quite an original concept that is executed well. The picture and audio from the blu-ray is very pleasing. I thought grain was lacking a tiny bit but detail was still pretty decent. Overall, I’d recommend it for horror fans.

Apple TV 4K lets you watch movies and shows in amazing 4K HDR - and now it completes the picture with immersive sound from Dolby Atmos~. It streams your favorite sports, news, and TV channels live. Has great content from apps like Apple TV+, Disney+, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and ESPN~. And thanks to Siri, you can control it all with just your voice.
 

Can you use Apple TV with a Phillips 4k Android TV?

Yes, as long as the TV as an HDMI input you should be able to connect it to the Phillips TV.

This base kit includes 2 color changing Hue Play light bars, mounting hardware, and 1 power supply with plug. Create a wash of colorful light with the sleek design of the Play light bar. Choose from 16 million colors to experience different light effects. Select preset scenes with dynamic effects or create your own in the Hue app. Lay them horizontally on the floor or stand vertically on a cabinet or shelf. Create a TV backlight by mounting them to the back of the TV with the included mounts to enhance your home theater setup. Connect up to 3 light bars with one power supply (extension kits sold separately). Connect to a Hue Sync box (sold separately) to create immersive lighting experiences that sync in real time to your favorite movies, music, and video games. Hue lights can sync with music when you pair them with your Spotify account or listen to music using Samsung SmartThings in the Galaxy smartphone app. Take gaming to a whole new level when you sync Hue lights with Razer Chroma LED accessories and Corsair iCUE products. Requires a Hue Bridge (sold separately). Unlock the full power of Philips Hue smart home lighting with the Bridge and enjoy benefits like multi-room control, automations and smart control from anywhere in the world.
 

If I connect this to my smart tv, will it work with the apps?

You can’t really connect these directly to the TV. You need to connect them to the Hue system using a bridge (you can find it here at Best Buy as well) and an app (free for pretty much all smart phones). If you want to sync the lights to what is showing on the TV then you’ll need the Sync box which just came out a few weeks ago. The box will sync the colors and levels of brightness to whatever is happening on the screen.

See your screen clearly while keeping it protected with the help of this Insignia HD screen protector for Apple iPhone 11 Pro, Apple iPhone X or Apple iPhone XS. The impact-resistant tempered glass reduces the chance of cracking and scratches without impeding on touch function, and beveled edges meld seamlessly with your phone's face. With wet and dry cleaning cloths included, this Insignia HD screen protector is easy to maintain.
 

Will this work if I already have a cover on the phone that covers the back and sides only?

I think it will, it just depend on the kind of case you got for it. The protector isn’t too wide so it should be able to work fine with most cases. I’d recommend removing the case before applying it though. If the case comes up the sides towards the center too much then a screen protector might be difficult to keep on. But most cases don’t do that, and instead use a raised lip around the sides to help with the protection.

I have 2 questions, can you use a MacBook with it and can you use a USB-C connection, I am just curious because I was planning to get a MacBook Pro in the future and get this monitor to make my desk look cleaner.

You’d need an adapter from USB-C to either HDMI or mini DP as those are the only two inputs available.
