Best ssd I've purchased think I got it for around 275 now the price seems a bit high but if your mother board has an empty slot you don't be disappointed. Very fast speeds and no issues over the year I've had them

It wasn't smart enough to turn off Joe Biden aka the big guy who gets 10% but it did work great with smart things and harmony remote, yes these will work without the smart things hub just connect it using your cell phone and harmony will recognize and control.

You can't go wrong with a dyson. I got one of these a year or two after they came out and just this year I finally replaced the original.... Even though it still worked, I just gave it to a buddy. Very tough vacuums with no belt repairs and this thing will stuck the hair plugs out of Joe bidens head at a distance of 3 feet.

Awesome speakers

Verified Purchase:Yes
Clean and loud, happy I got these over the cmw663 for the front left and right channels in my home theater. They look great and they are loud and clean sounding. Install is a breeze with these you literally just cut out a hole in your sheetrock and clip to the sheetrock, no sound box necessary. I was hesitant with no sound box in the wall that the speaker wouldn't project good sound but I needed space for sound dampening insulation and vinyl sound barrier in the same 6 inch cavity. I did make custom ballistic material bags with elastic to shield the speaker from any insulation debris. These work great!

Ok but not great TV.

I have 3 of these. 1 of them constantly shuts itself off. The other two I bought to display posters in a home theater using a 90 degree rotating wall mount. The problem with this tv is I literally have to use my phone with the Samsung smart things app to control them because the remotes work with each other and can't differentiate each tv they are close to each other but something to think about if you are thinking of putting two of these in the same room or even 1 room apart. I also have an issue with the usb picture viewing for my use because I have to unplug the TV's each time to get the usb to display pictures, and there is no way to randomize pictures in the slideshow.

Best bang for the buck for a 9.2 reciever.

Verified Purchase:Yes
So far so good. This isn't 8k like all the other major brands like denon, sony, and marantz but seriously there's no 8k source material right now and I've heard negatives from those as well. After much research I bought this and using it with a 9.2 dolby atmos systems comprised of bowers and wilkins. Watts per channel on this were better then the competition and it gets loud! The setup on here is very user friendly and has plenty of tweaking capabilities for the enthusiast. Plus this has XLR inputs for getting left and right channels like you would get using a component recieved, so you get a little of both worlds. To run it like that you would need a 2 channel amp for front L&R but that would give you more wattage to spread between the other non component channels (don't quote me on this but I'm guessing), and for sure will give you extra wattage for the front L&R.

Working from home was new this year and after trying couple wifi extenders this was the only option that worked. Give it a try it sends wifi through the electric lines. I was a bit skeptical but it worked flawlessly, where the extender did not.

Excellent Color and Clarity
By Kkruppst
The JVC NX7 projector is fabulous. It's simple to use (auto adjusts resolution and colors) and quiet. The interface is simple. I have it paired with a Screen Innovations 138" Slate Acoustic screen in a light controlled room and I turn the lamp down to eco mode to obtain pleasing brightness. Sources are a Panasonic ub820 disc player, which integrates nicely with its auto tone mapping. Apple TV 4K also projects brilliantly with all my streaming services. Blacks aren't as deep as my OLED tv, but better than the other LCDs in my house. For those that love a cinematic experience, I highly recommend it. I would buy this projector over and over again.

Question on the slate acoustic screen
January 30, 2021
I'm thinking of going the exact same route with nx7 and SI slate AT 1.2 do you suffer from any moire effect or any glitter effect from the screen and projector combo? How close is your screen to the speakers does it muffle the sound any?

Does the SI slate AT screen show any moire effects or any glitter effects, when using this projector.

Constructed from aluminum material, this Insignia~ NS-PCHD235 enclosure helps protect your 2.5" Serial ATA hard drive against damage, allowing safe external use. The plug-and-play design facilitates setup.
 

Can this work with my PS4 hard drive and can I make it into a external hard drive ?

You have to provide a 2.5 inch hdd like the Seagate cuda. And then use this to turn that Seagate cuda into a external drive and it will then work with ps4 as an external drive. I can confirm this works!

Just need to know if this comes with the cable needed to hook to the laptop to 1.) transfer data and 2.) to use as an external drive after the transfer.

This comes with a cable to connect. The same cable can be used to transfer data and use as external hd. All you need to provide is a 2.5 inch hd.
