Brilliant sounding theater in a box done right!
on April 24, 2023
Posted by: NotJustAnyDad
The Samsung Q990C Soundbar is a harmoniously balanced audio system that delivers exceptional sound quality for both standard music listening and Dolby Atmos Music. Its immersive audio capabilities shine while watching movies or shows, creating a captivating experience that is further enhanced in a dark room with a large TV, providing a theater like experience. The Q990C truly excelled when I tested some of my favorite test scenes from Godzilla King of the Monsters, Tron, and Top Gun: Maverick, as it reveals layers of sound that enveloped me. The bass is rich and deep without being overwhelming and requires only minor adjustments (+1-2). By increasing the center channel to +4-5 and other levels to +2-3, the sound was optimized for my spacious great room setting. After making those adjustments I remembered the Q990c has spacefit sound which automatically adjusts levels to your space. Further settings and control options are available in the SmartThings app! Setting up the Q990C is a breeze, with the unboxing process taking longer than the actual installation. Simply connect power to each device and the HDMI to the eARC ports on the TV and soundbar. The soundbar can also process Dolby Atmos wirelessly, with no discernible difference in quality between wired and wireless connections. A standout feature exclusive to Samsung TV’s is Q-Symphony, which synchronizes both the TV and soundbar speakers to create an impressive 22 channels of audio when paired with my QN900B TV. This added to the overall immersive experience. In summary, the Samsung Q990C Soundbar is a true virtuoso in the realm of home audio. Boasting an elegant design, breathtaking sound, and effortless connectivity, it's a must-have for those seeking a cinematic audio experience at home. It surpasses its predecessor and other setups by leaps and bounds. However, there's room for improvement with the addition of a larger, more legible front screen, an upgraded USB-C solar remote, and the option to add a second subwoofer for balanced bass in larger spaces. While these suggestions would enhance the overall experience, they are by no means deal-breakers. This is arguably the best soundbar of 2023!

Multi-tasking beautiful best of a screen!
on March 23, 2023

Verified Purchase:Yes
First off the monitor is a delight to look at on or off. Tech that elevates or at least fits in a living space is always a bonus. Not every piece of tech is in a cold boring office building. Bring on the colors and style!
We've been using Ultrawide monitors for years, starting with a 29" and multiple 34" monitors. I couldn't wait to get a 49"in my wife's office space. She didn't know she was getting it and now she doesn't want to go back. My only issue was not ordering 2 when they were on sale.
Being able to access 4 full screen windows at once makes light work of multitasking! We don't PC game so I can only speak to the potential immersion any gamer would benefit from thanks to the curve. The screen is native but it doesn't feel out of place. It's pleasantly soft on the eyes even after an 8+ hour shift. Hands down this is the best monitor I've worked on. It's not the only 49" I've setup but it's the best so far.
This is an investment, make sure it fits your wants and it needs. Gaming, graphic designer, film, maybe a seasoned professional or stock trader.

Easy useful technology appliance!
on March 8, 2023

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was shocked at how easy it was to install the unit and have it up and running. Overall the physical install took about 15 minutes, my drill and a little skill. Programming the sprinkler zones to about 3 minutes each, location, name and photo. Scheduling to another 5 minutes. I spent more time mapping out the zones with the easy to satellite view of my house. I really appreciate the integrated weather options, if it's too windy, too wet, or too cold, it will automatically skip a watering until it's ready.

I have a pretty large home at over 3500sq ft, very open spaces and 2 air handlers. I purchased the 211+ for our main living space next to the main air handler. No more itchy, sneezy sensations anywhere in the house. I cannot stress how much it helps with allergies and sleeping sound through the night.

Bespoke Tech for your Food!
on July 17, 2022
Posted by: NotJustAnyDad
First let’s talk about the capacity of this large refrigerator. There’s room to store the families favorite foods in this Samsung Bespoke refrigerator. I can store food in all size containers, pots & pans on shelves in drawers and doors. It feels like there’s a place for everything. My kids love the Flex drawer. It's as if they have their own spot in the fridge for drinks and snacks. The clean boxy shape translates to a lot of uninterrupted space inside without all the curves and odd areas that can limit placement. For clean lines and cleanliness I’m happy the water spout is hidden behind the easy access panel. You’re less likely to have water and ice spills on the ground. I don’t see any water spots or calcium build up on the outside or inside the door. There’s a large capacity ice tray that allows you to see how much ice you have and easily access as much or as little of it. Who doesn’t like a scoop of crushed ice in a refreshing drink? The HUB is an amazing tool for ordering groceries, listing ingredients or leaving notes for everyone to see. I can watch a cooking show on the fridge and follow the instructions. Party planning? Manage prep like a pro and play music at the same time. You can display artwork and or personalize it with your family photos. My guests tend to stop for a few minutes to look at the photos on the HUB. I can see what my other connected devices are doing such as the washer and dryer, multitasking like a pro! You can use the SmartThings app to see what’s inside your fridge or to change the temperature in the different zones! Please improve the camera placement for better viewing angles. There should be better group control of other Samsung devices if you want them to display the same thing such as uploaded photos and Artwork either in sync or randomly pulled from the same bucket.

Charge and display your DualSense Wireless Controllers with the officially licensed Twin Charging Station for PlayStation 5. Charging two controllers at once is simple~just set them down until the LED on the DualSense indicates that they are fully charged, then just pick them up and get your game on. Or, leave your controllers on the station for an awesome, eye-catching display. Feel confident your controllers are always ready to game as they charge and display alongside your PS5 console--or anywhere you choose to display them.

The Samsung Freestyle dares you to imagine!
on February 11, 2022
Posted by: NotJustAnyDad
The Freestyle is more a lifestyle device. It gives you access to our connected world in a way no other device has. It's an entertainment device that can be an extension to other mobile devices but can easily stand alone. For the minimalists, a phone and The Freestyle could be all they need for a simple clean space. The professional could host a presentation in the airport, restaurant or just about anywhere. An entertainer, can play music videos or put-up digital art to fit the mood. Possibilities are literally endless with the Freestyle! The image is bright, crisp and vibrant. You'll forget you're not watching a regular TV aside from the available size. In the dark it's surprisingly bright but not washed out. With the shades open in the middle of the day images are still bright enough to enjoy it just lacks some contrast. The autofocus and image adjusts in less than 2 seconds on nearly any flat surface and at the most awkward of angles. It even works on semi-flat surfaces with different textures and colors. My girls absolutely love it, they can put images on the wall in their rooms or play area. If you want to trace an image onto the wall what better way to do it and at the size you want. My wife set it up for my daughter’s sleepover/birthday party, everyone loved using it. Especially at night watching movies on the ceiling in the hotel. A few parents already asked about it. To sum it up, The Freestyle has a bright and vibrant picture with one of the best auto focus and image adjusting sensors I've experienced. It can be used in nearly any room which is especially good on the go! Samsung’s interface is intuitive and easy to navigate with the rechargeable remote. This isn’t a gadget you’ll purchase and put to the side after a few months. I look forward to the battery, other accessories and future iterations of The Freestyle. Samsung has the opportunity to add additional colors like matte black, blue, silver yellow. Offering a form fitting hard case for travel would bump up the value out of the box. Maybe a software update to allow focus lock. There were a few occasions where dramatic changes in the color of a show would cause the unit to try an autofocus. This only happened on surfaces that weren't as reflective.

The Optoma UHZ45 uses a laser, not a lamp, for superior brightness, crisp, accurate color with an incredible 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio, instant on/off, and a life span of up to 30,000 hours. 4K Ultra HD resolution with 240Hz refresh rate support at 1080p and an ultra-low 4ms response time make the UHZ45 a great choice for cinematic immersion and fast-paced gaming. Setup is fast and flexible, with smart features like four-point geometric correction and adjustment for wall colors. And, for an audio experience to match, take advantage of the eARC support to connect compatible home theater speaker systems.

3 out of 5something seems not right here
By CharlesS
Something seems not right here. This is supposed to be a 4K projector but the company's user's guide specification sections says:
Technology Texas Instrument DMD, 0.47”/1080p UHD HSSI DMD X1, S451
Output resolution 1920 x 1080 (w/o actuator)
Output resolution 1920 x 1080 (w/o actuator)
...which looks like HD, not 4K.
So which is it?

Pixel Shift
July 17, 2023
Most 4k LED and Laser Projectors are actually 1080p projectors that use pixel shift to give the appearance of being 4k.The shift happens so fast that your eyes receive the perception of 4k. With that said some of the actual full 4k projectors that do not use pixel shift tech are sharper thanks to those dedicated pixels but for most people the difference is negligible and not work the additional premium price tag.
