Great sound for the price. Love it!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm not sure why some reviewers are saying the rear speakers have no sound, they work exactly how rear speakers should. Perhaps they don't understand what surround sound is. The rear speakers play sounds behind the audience, and often will play faint music or the reverb portion of the actors in a room. If you want the sound always on there are multiple setting choices that help achieve more sound out of them. The "adaptive sound" option is a great setting if you don't want to always choose between options as it systematically plays the best audio options and has slight voice enhancement.
Another complaint I see on here is the feeling there isn't enough bass. I have to turn my subwoofer down because there is so much bass. Maybe those people had huge 15" woofer speakers before? Not sure, but I have to turn the subwoofer down to -6 because I live in a duplex and the bass travels.
2 recommendations when people get this set are:
First do to the firmware update. The most recent when posting this is from July 2021. It is very easy and the manual walks you through it. Just go to Samsung's site and enter the model number and they too will walk you right through it.
Second, set the treble to a +4 and the bass to a -2 if you want "neutral audio" from there to you can adjust to your preference.
These are a great choice for a low cost, high value home theater system.

Bought this for my mom (age 74) as a gift for her to use in the bedroom. The Roku interface works fast and is easy for her to navigate and add things as she needs them.
She loves the picture and sleep timer function.

Worst streaming service... ever

Slow, lesser quality than any other streaming service I have used.
Not sure what Apple was thinking with forcing this onto the market. There are so many better, faster, and less cumbersome options available. Cancelled my trial after 3 days because it is just that bad.

Much faster than my previous Roku Stick (the purple one from 2016). Great picture quality on all my streaming apps.
I don't use the voice features so I can't give a review on how well that works, but I've used many streaming service providers and find Roku to be the best both for privacy and for best options offered.

On hot, humid days, Frigidaire's 10,000 BTU window-mounted air conditioner quickly cools a room up to 450 square feet. Ready-Select electronic controls allow you to set the comfort level to your preference, while a convenient temperature-readout displays the set temperature.

The multi-speed fan features three different speeds for more cooling flexibility and the 6-way comfort control design allows you to easily direct the air where you want it. The washable filter with front, tilt-out access captures dust from the air to keep your air conditioner working efficiently. Plus, low power start-up conserves energy and saves you money. Year after year, Frigidaire is the brand you can trust to keep you cool and comfortable.

Quiet and efficient. I had a previous Frigidaire from 2008 that this replaced. So much more quiet. You can still hear the fan and the wind rush do don't expect it to be silent, but for the price point it runs extremely efficiently.

Got this as a replacement for my router. This one's strength reaches a lot farther than the original one.
Netgear has always worked well for me and setup using their app was easy and fast. Highly recommend this if you are in need of a cost effective router.

Amazing quality at a great price

Verified Purchase:Yes
You know how it is, old washer broke down and had to find a new one. I decided to go with Maytag this time because of their reputation. I was amazed at the sturdy construction, quality parts and LARGE mouth to put clothing in. My old machine had a medium size opening making it tough when putting in sheets, blankets, and towels. Not the case with this machine. The lid opening is the same width as the tub so it all just drops straight down. The auto water height sensing works great. You can hear it doing the sensing and that is normal so don't be alarmed. It's not nearly as loud as the auto sensing I've heard on other machines. Washes the cloths great and the High Efficiency washing uses much less water than my old washer. Make sure to use (and most on the market are now) HE (High Efficiency) detergents. You'll see the marking on the container regardless of brand, they all seem to make it now. It is a lower bubble detergent that cycles through the cleaning jets without clogging them like regular overly sudsy detergents can. Great washer, great price, great efficiency.

Gamestream supp is discontinued, this is pointless
By Justin
I mainly got this for Nvidia Gamestream, as I have an Nvidia GPU and was hoping to stream my PC games to my TV. But, Nvidia essentially cancelled support for Gamestream a while ago apparently, in favor of their new streaming from the cloud service, geforce Now. Like it essentially works by manually adding all of your games, but any new game is going to miss out on most of the benefits of Gamestream, such as HDR, auto game settings, and I think there were a few other things. One thing of note is Gamestream supports 4k, whereas Geforce Now maxes out at 1080p.
There are other game streaming services you can use, such as Moonlight I think it was called, which actually worked very well and had a lot of options, or Steam Link, but at that point why pay $200 for this thing when you could get any cheap Android TV/any of the several other devices for way cheaper that offer that same functionality?
I tested out streaming with just about every service, Rain something or another, Parsec, Gamestream, Moonlight, and Steam Link. I have a mid range wifi 6 Asus router, and my gaming PC has a wifi 6 card in it. This shield only has wifi ac/5. I tested them all in each different setting, wired from PC, wifi from PC, wired to shield, wifi to shield. Really, if you want a smooth experience with minimal stuttering, you pretty much have to have both devices wired. Having one or the other wired wasn't toooo bad, but you got a decent amount of hitching/stuttering. Even wired, you would think it would be flawless at that point, but there was occasional hitching, was very compressed, and there was very noticeable input lag. For the price of this thing, you might as well just get a game console, in my opinion.
This thing has a Tegra X1 chip, which is essentially useless unless you're big into Android games. I'm not too familiar with compression/decompression, but apparently there is a new codec or whatever that is support to be superior, h265 I think it was. I tried enabling that in some of the streaming apps, and it didn't seem to work, it kept defaulting to a different decompression codec. So I really don't know if the power of this thing would help in decompression for streaming games. I've tried various devices in the past, and they all seem to have about the same result of being less than ideal in even the best circumstances, with a lot of compression and input lag.
I really don't see the point of this. A lot of TV's have android TV built in anymore, and even if they don't you can get a cheap android TV or any of the myriad streaming devices they have anymore. There's really nothing Nvidia specific about this that has any real benefit. There are better options for streaming games from your PC. I think Geforce Now and all those streaming services are terrible, they will always stutter and have input lag, but that doesn't stop these companies from seeing dollar signs and trying to force it on people. Is Geforce Now available on other Android devices? If so, that would make this even more pointless. Even the stand shown in all of the pictures for this, you have to buy that separately.

Gamestream still exists and is supported
April 7, 2021
On your PC Launch GeForce Experience.
Log in to GeForce Experience with your NVIDIA account.
On the Settings > SHIELD page, enable the "GAMESTREAM" switch.
Then click the "Add" button and start adding the games you want to be able to play on the TV/Shield
