Solid and sturdy wall mount. Nothing special.
on April 8, 2026
Posted by: overlordspock
Verified Purchase:Yes
This was mostly easy to install. I appreciated the paper template to help with lining up the drill holes. This mount is pretty solid. Tilts forward and backward, but not left or right and doesn't extend from the wall (to be fair, I wasn't expecting it to). Once the TV is on the mount, it's a little difficult—but not impossible—to reach behind to plug in cables. Just something to keep in mind. I'm happy with this for the use I have for it.

Seamless screen with 3-sided border-less display stretches from edge to edge for immersive viewing and maximum concentration. With refined dark blue gray exterior, the screen brings more sleek and modern look.

Cheap Monitor (and that's okay)
on September 14, 2025
Posted by: overlordspock
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this monitor for my in-laws to connect to a new Mac Mini that we purchased for them. Their needs aren't high. They were plenty happy for the picture this monitor provided them for e-mail and some minor web browsing. This is a cheap monitor. It doesn't have a spectacular picture or a super-high resolution. It is DEFINITELY not a 4K or Retina display. And, for them, that was exactly what they needed. It's fine for their usage.

Decent remote for a decent price

Verified Purchase:Yes
Remember the days of universal remotes that had a billion buttons for every function over the sun and you had to press weird button combinations and numbers to get it programmed for your device? Well, those days still exist.
This is a fine remote. It's pretty cheap. It's worth the money.
I purchased it for a TV where the remote got lost in a move. It works for fine for that.

Good, Solid Way to get Lots of Storage
on September 14, 2025
Posted by: overlordspock
Verified Purchase:Yes
It's a Western Digital Easystore hard drive. Not much more needs be said. These are good, relatively cheap hard drives. Yes, it's still a spinner, but that's okay when you want massive amounts of storage.

Great TV—One of the Best
on September 14, 2025
Posted by: overlordspock
Verified Purchase:Yes
This really is one of the best TVs out there today. The picture is absolutely gorgeous and the sound is decent for the tiny speakers. Better than many other modern TVs. I like the fact that it has a centered base and not feet at the edges like so many other TVs do as well.
I only remove the one star because the TV's menu system is somewhat labyrinthine and frustrating. But, once it's set up, I'm just using it with my Apple TV box, which then becomes the primary menu system for me.

The best streaming box there is!
on August 15, 2025
Posted by: overlordspock
Verified Purchase:Yes
What is there to say about the Apple TV other than what most people already know! It may be the most expensive of the streaming boxes out there, but it's also the best one! If you just want to watch YouTube or Netflix or whatever, you can get much cheaper boxes (even what's built into your TV). But, if you want this to be the all-in-one interface for your TV, this is, by far, the best choice!

LEGO? At Best Buy?!? Yup!
on May 30, 2025
Posted by: overlordspock
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this set for my wife on a whim while I was in the store looking for something else. She was excited to see it and put it together over the course of a few hours on a weekend day. The built model is smaller than I expected (it’s about…three or four inches?… wide, but that’s not really an issue. Just something of note.
The instructions were easy to follow and the build progressed logically. The flowers are a little delicate and, if you’re not careful, will break off easily. But, hey! It’s LEGO! It’s easy to put back together again! And, besides, this is a display piece, not a play piece (at least as it’s built. But, again, it’s LEGO and so it can be rebuilt however you want it!).
Overall, this is a fun little build that isn’t super simple, but also isn’t super complicated.
I definitely recommend if you’re into this kind of thing?

Great quality monitor for a decent price
on October 3, 2020
Posted by: overlordspock
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this monitor because it was in the size-class I was looking for at a relatively decent price with HDMI connectivity. Yes, it's a gaming monitor, which means it has a bit more of an "in-your-face" design (it's not as bland as many monitors are), but it's not totally goofy either.
This is not a 4K monitor and is not Retina-resolution, but the image quality is pretty good. The screen is bright and the colors are vibrant. It responded well to my doing some color balancing on the Mac Mini I have it hooked up to.
So far, in the month I've had it, I have no real complaints. I just needed a cheap monitor. Although, this is not the cheapest, I consider it to be an excellent monitor for the price.

Great Sci-Fi Epic until the last 25%
on February 2, 2020
Posted by: overlordspock
Verified Purchase:Yes
I love this movie so much.
This movie aspires to very lofty heights. It is a spectacular Sci-Fi Epic with a huge, wide-ranging story and mystery. Fantastic performances. Novel and imaginative ideas. I love every moment of it.
Until the last quarter of the movie.
That's when it devolves into fairly standard fare with guns and explosions and Bruce Willis action-hero-ing.
Don't get me wrong. That's totally okay. I still love this movie. Yes, it may just miss the lofty heights it original strives for, but it still ends in a very satisfying way. You just need to get through the jump in tone. Once you do that, you're fine.
This Blu-Ray transfer is very good quality, better than some other movies I've seen from this era. It's worth the price.

It’s a cable. It’s fine.
on February 1, 2020
Posted by: overlordspock
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this to replace an old cable that ended up with a short in it. I use it to connect my phone to the radio in my wife’s car (no USB or Bluetooth). It works fine. There’s nothing great about it (really, this is pretty much a commodity category) and there’s nothing bad about it. It exists. It works. I don’t regret the purchase.
It’s fine.

Does anyone know if the iPhone 11 Pro will work with this product?

It works with the iPhone 11 Pro (that's what I'm using with it). The required software has not yet been updated to fully take advantage of the new cameras, but it still works as well as it would with an iPhone XS, for example. It's still worth it.

The USB-C to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter lets you connect devices that use a standard 3.5mm audio plug - like headphones or speakers - to your USB-C devices.
 

Will it work with iPhone 8?

No. This specific adaptor will not work with an iPhone 8 (that only has a lightning port and not a USB-C port. There is a version of this that will work with any phone (including an iPhone 8) that has a lightning port.
