Good soundbar for the sale price
on December 31, 2024
Posted by: DMVDB
I purchased this sound bar to pair with the TCL - 65" Class Q5-Series I got to upgrade my living room TV (well to replace the old Samsung 60" that crapped out on me after four years). It's a good sound bar for it's price, especially if you get it at the sale price.
Part of me wishes that for $30 more (based on the sale price at the time) I had purchased the TCL - S55H 2.1 Channel S-Class Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer as there is minimal low end sound. However, I was aware of this and initially didn't want a subwoofer to go with my upstairs living room TV as I have a subwoofer with my 75" Samsung in the downstairs rec room...which usually wouldn't be an issue except our house is an open floor plan with floating stairs and no doors separating the downstairs from the main level, so sound travel.
Additionally, be aware that this soundbar does not come with an optical audio cable so unless you purchase one separately, you will need to connect the soundbar via HDMI (yes I am aware that HDMI is better for higher resolution audio, but if you're like me and have multiple gaming systems as well as a Roku, you lose one HDMI port. For those wondering why I'm using a Roku when the TCL TV is already a smart TV...well IMO and experience the Amazon Fire TV OS is a lot less responsive and slower than the Roku).

Get powerful, colorful light, an integrated 1080p camera with night vision, and the ability to see what~s going on and control the light right from the Philips Hue app. Mount it outside to monitor your home in real time ~ and then trigger an alarm to warn off potential intruders.

Newest addition to my Hue ecosystem
on December 13, 2024
Posted by: DMVDB
I was looking to replace the outdoor light in my backyard and saw that the Philips Hue Floodlight Camera was on sale. I already have 39 other Philips Hue bulbs (to include several "regular" A19 bulbs, an Econic Outdoor Wall Light for the front door, eight BR30 bulbs for recessed lighting, five candelabra smartbulbs for the dining room, a Hue Go, and multiple light bars) as well as Philip HUe dimmer switches, so I am familiar with the Hue ecosystem. I already have a Hue Bridge and the app installed so setting everything up was easy. I've installed outdoor lights before (most recently the Hue Econic Outdoor Light for my front door last year) so installation was simple.
The light, housing, and camera are of excellent quality. I installed the floodlight in my backyard by the sliding door leading outside under my deck, so it is somewhat protected by the elements.
I haven't signed up for the Secure plan yet, as I am unsure I need it. I live in a safer area, and didn't really need a camera in the back, but I have wanted to replace the light. When I saw the Hue Outdoor Floodlight Camera on sale, it was a no-brainer to expand my Hue ecosystem. The camera was just a value add for me.

My first TCL and it did not disappoint
on December 13, 2024
Posted by: DMVDB
This is my first TCL TV after purchasing only Samsung flat screens in the past and I'm pretty impressed by the picture quality. I needed to replace a 55" Samsung after the screen went dead after only four years of use. This TV was the best deal available when considering the price (Black Friday Deal...then went on sale for $30 cheaper that Best Buy gave me a price adjustment for. However, today it's an additional $10 cheaper as a Door Buster but I can't get that credited back). The picture quality is good, and the brightness is excellent (in comparison to the 75" 4K UHD Samsung I purchased last year). The sound is okay...but I paired it with a TCL sound bar that was also on sale.
My only complaint thus far is the Fire TV OS...I'm used to Samsung's Tizen OS as well as Roku's OS, both of which are quick and I never had an issue with. Though it's only been a few weeks of having this TV and using the Fire YV OS, every time I've tried to watch a Thursday Night NFL Game through the PrimeTV app on the TV, the game suffers from streaming issues...poor quality/buffering. But then I switch to the game through PrimeTV on the Roku hooked up to the TCL, and there are no issues with playback whatsoever.

that honors the memory of Chadwick Boseman.
You can feel the love from all those involved in this movie, from writer/director Ryan Coogler, composer Ludwig Goransson, and the cast of this film.
And with all due respect to Jamie Lee Curtis is the fantastic "Everything Everywhere All at Once", Angela Bassett gave a tour de force performance as Queen Ramonda, and should have won the Best Supporting Actress Academy award.

Posted by: DMVDB
for this classic of a movie, LOL. This is a beautiful SteelBook, and Lionsgate deserves all the flowers for upping the SteelBook game; fellow studios, take note.
What else can be said for this classic of a movie? If you haven't seen this film yet, what are you waiting for?

Practical and utilitarian

Posted by: DMVDB
Fantastic flashlight that should be in every vehicle. The flashlight itself is bright, and the option to charge the flashlight via USB or solar is fantastic.
The flashlight itself is solidly constructed, and the magnetic piece is useful.
One would hope that they never have to use the window smasher or the seat belt cutter, but knowing that they are available in case of emergency gives one peace of mind. I have four of these, and will probably buy some as Christmas gifts for family.

I purchased this for my oldest child who started college this year. It's a cute, retro fridge that works well for a college student's purposes. I got this on sale, and the icing on the cake was a rebate from my energy company.

By Binkxsmom
I love all Guy Ritchie movies, and this one doesn't disappoint! So many sub plots and subtle comedy throughout. Highly recommend. Not suitable for younger people.

I am trying to use the sound bar with the hdmi cord but it says there is no connection found when I switch to the hdmi port that it is connected to, resulting in me using the Bluetooth but I found that using it results in a delay if the sound to visual

Sorry if this question sounds silly. Would like to purchase this kit if I wanted to purchase say maybe 15-20 bulbs separately do i need another kit to control all the lights or what would I need to control them from room to room? Want a rgb smart home
I currently have nine bulbs, a Hue Go, and two Hue Plays set up to the same Hub. I’m not sure if there are any limits to the amount of bulbs you can link to it.
If money weren’t an issue, I’d outfit my entire home in the Hue Ecosystem. My dining room light has six candle bulbs. At the current price of $50 a pop, that’s too cost prohibitive! Would also like Hue bulbs in recessed lighting. Sigh...if only I was a millionaire (yep, millionaire not billionaire...I’m not greedy).
