Had to replace an existing remote less than 3 years old. Typical Apple crap! Does this one work - yes. Will it last - probably not. Never had a bit of trouble with Roku's but wife loves her Apple junk!

MAG X870E TOMAHAWK WIFI is designed for gamers with a stable, durable and DIY friendly foundation for their PC builds.
Posted by: john
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've always used MSI products - motherboards, PSUs, GPUs. Never been disappointed.
The MAG X870e is massive - heaviest mobo I've ever used. Easy install into a Fractal Design R5 case, AMD cpu installed without a hitch. The board has lived up to its promise.
Product manuals are online and more than adequate, even for your first build.

We recently watched the original Magnum PI via a streaming service - wanted to have our own copy in case the powers that be decided to take it off. This edition so far looks good but now we have to watch the entire series again! Oh, well!

Amazing sound!
Had one issue worth mentioning: we had random audio drop-outs. By random, I mean, 6 hrs one time, two hours the next, The picture would be normal, just no sound whatsoever. The soundbar info would show nothing wrong. Sometimes switching the HDMI input around and back to the original would help, sometimes not. So I started disconnecting input sources.
We have an AppleTV*, Sony Blu-ray and Kinivo HDMI switch connected - one guess which one was causing the problem - the Kinivo switch, of course! After disconnecting it, the audio drop-outs appear to have stopped. Since we have multiple games connected to the switch, I replaced the Kinivo with a Tripplite HDMI switch and so far, so good!

All I can say is they could have written a better story line. I'm sure many liked the movie but I'd rank it 3rd at best. Just my opinion.
Maizie, the otherwise precocious kid in the previous movie, becomes a belligerent teenager - really, after what she has witnessed and what she knows?
Dodgson, the bagman of the original Jurassic Park, is now a genius CEO of Biosyn? C'mon, man! this makes no sense!
A rainforest in the Dolomites? Really?
Giant locusts who couldn't survive in our reduced oxygen atmosphere? Really stretching credulity, writers!
Reuse of previous scenes - the raptors chasing the motorcycle, the whatever-it-was clawing through the gate while slipping on the ice (...with the rainforest in the background...)
Taken by itself, the movies is "ok" - as the end of franchise, not so much.
So, why did we buy the DVD? Only because wife wanted a complete collection...happy wife, happy life...

Unlike the critics, we actually liked this movie! While we could have gone to a theater, why spend all that money if you intend to buy the DVD anyway and since we have the entire Abbey series, this was a no brainer!

Very nice monitor, bright, crisp color, touch works perfectly. Using it as a touch screen for a flight simulator. Non-touch VX1655 is very similar.

Audio dropout problem was far simpler than I originally thought! After two calls to Polk, the rep suggested I power cycle the soundbar,,,I did that and so far it now works! Never dawned on me that might actually work but it seems to have cured the hiccups.
