The best add on for video games ever

While people keep spending money in digital stuff like fortnite skins, you might not have a fancy clothes for your characters here but many uses even in multiple games, I like the idea of feeding this character in your smash bros game like if it was a pokemon training it for fight, I want to get more of them and put them to fight each to other while I spectate the mesmerizing stages of smash bros, it’s a tiny charming figurine that can be collected, something that you actually touch (tangible vs digital)

Beautiful screen
on November 25, 2018
Posted by: Dark
from AZ
that's my first impression the screen is really beautiful, I won't dig much in specs and characteristics that's already well known, but I'll tell you what everyone who sees my phone always ask about, FACE ID, yes the most controversial topic about this phone, people just misjudge by preconception of what they don't know, for me face id is the fastest way to use my phone, I already forget about the home fingerprint button, this is just right, look at the phone and that's it, I got the phone since it came out and it never had issues, most people prefer don't use faceid thinking it makes the phone vulnerable well they are wrong, even if you close your eyes there is no way around to unlock your phone if you are not looking at it. With that said everything else is the same iphone experience like before, I notice the camera is a huge upgrade, it works flawlessly, I use professional cameras and iphone camera can do all the job for me correcting the picture on light and object distance, it really takes professional grade photos and save me a lot of time when I do photoshoot, it's a powerful machine in your pocket!

Simply the best wireless earbuds out there

This is one of those Apple products that shine and excel in quality, comfort, and easy of use. Simply there is no competition, and only thing I think it would beat it that has to be the same airpods, if you are looking for high fidelity audio forget about that you're are in the wrong place to start, earbuds are more convenience than studio sound, so take a look on bose high end wireless headphones. For everything else Airpod is just right, the same level of the apple earbud and beyond with the most practical use, yeah I agree 160 bucks is expensive but you get the charger pod, the easy of use and the convenience of wireless, I tried different wireless earbuds and this is the best overall in my opinion, if your regular apple earbuds doesn't pop off or bother you then don't look further this will fit perfect on you.

Just what I was looking for, many other mats are long but not deeper enough to accommodate my claw grip, I let the bottom to cover the ridge of my desktop and I still have enough space to reach the monitor legs, I don't have to relocate the mouse mat like I used to do with small mats, it increase my comfort, after couple months of use it doesn't show tear or dirt, I had good quality mats before and this one isn't the exception.

I was wrong
on November 24, 2018
Posted by: Dark
from AZ
I'm coming from play the PC version and before jump in xbox I watch some videos on youtube highlighting the frame issues I thought it will be a mess to play, then I was wrong, at least on my xbox one x it doesn't show frame issues, actually the game runs way too much good to be a port from the messy PC version, maybe the microsoft injection did work on PUBG, the developer finally tweek the game and fix the multiples bugs and graphics issues. there are new maps I like the smaller one, even I have play BlackOps 4 blackout a ton and I consider PUBG a more heart beating experience, graphically speaking there are cons and pros, the game looks clean and crisp but some stuff looks better or worse in comparison with Blackout game mode from Call of Duty. The gameplay is more inclined to simulation first person shooter, which can be difficult to hook at first try, but the more you play the more you enjoy it, I don't find the armor as annoying as it does on COD blackout, the netcode has been polish very well and there are not chinese flooded matches like in PC, also no hacks since consoles are way more difficult to deploy a hack code in the game ( you have to hack the console before the game), that's why I prefer to play PUBG now on xbox, I lost the fast access to menu item inventory because the lack of mouse and keyboard when playing with gamepad but hey everyone is in the same page, maybe it's even better take your time to arrange your weapon sums more realism to the game, also mouse and keyboard is available and the good news they won't match gamepad players, so if you feel more comfortable with that input then you're welcome but don't expect to smash kids playing with gamepads. Overall the game feels great it has a learning curve, battle royale mode it's basically the only game mode with some settings like solo, duo, squad and first person view only, you may choose the map you like to spawn, it can be a little monotony, but sometimes I found my self wandering around the places, taking different paths and approach to enemies even that I know I'm more likely to die it would be fun to mess a little with the game.

Once upon a time NBA2K was a joy to play
on November 24, 2018
Posted by: Dark
from AZ
Thankfully I got the game from Microsoft, but sincerely I prefer to uninstall it to save space rather than play it and I'll explain why. I miss the older games, I remember NBA2K since its beginning being a fun to play 5 star game, nowdays that fun gameplay it's gone, if you haven't play the old school 2K you have no idea what you are missing. The game is graphically ok, I think MLB the show and fifa soccer looks better, NBA2K used to be the best sport looking game, now it's more like a free to play quality game, I could digest more of its flaws, but why my screen is shaking when I have a free shot? that's annoying. I like NBA and having the all star team players by each team is cool, but why when I take the Bulls Michael Jordan team to play a match it's switched on the fly to other players ? if I want to play a match with Michael Jordan and unless I make the changes myself why the game itself is switching my players, it doesn't happen with other players compound, so I wan't to finish the match with Michael Jordan then I can't because the game arbitrary take MJ and his teammates back on middle of the match, come on. So that stuff is a big no no for me, I can't recommend play the game with those flaws that doesn't let you enjoy in the way that you want, for those who have enjoy the recent version of this game may have no complains, but if you remember the old school version you probably will dislike this one. I haven't dig in the online modes, that's where this game suppose to shine, but since the gameplay isn't fun to me, I won't bother in compete against people, it may be nice to play with someone at home and check on the roster. NBA 2K19 as a sport video game is not that bad but it's not that great, I would consider look around.

Fantastic free world of playground

Forza series are a top notch on racing games though Horizon is more like fun racing (arcade) than serious racing (simulator), I enjoy it the train chasing, the halo surprise, all that in an amazing 4K resolution, Yes I played the game like their developers intended, 4K HDR, I switched to 60fps it's nice to have that option and it's slightly faster in controller response, but I ended going on 4K its motion is just right, also I tried it on PC in both modes, I could achieve better 1080p 60fps but barely can notice the differences, note that a beefy pc with high end cards like gtx 1080ti it's not enough to run optimum 4K 60fps so forget about it, xbox one x does an excellent job here. Huge cars selection! only thing I wish were more are the scenarios, you are in a small region of UK with many roads looking very similar, only season changes brings a little of contrast, the overall experience is excellent.

This is just credit for your steam account, steam is the largest game library platform, when I consider buy/play pc games my main source is steam, obviously no everything can be that great there are few games I can't get on steam like blizzard exclusives, and some publishers like EA and ubisoft because they have their own platform like steam they may have game exclusives to compete, also on steam you will find deals more often and their platform is the most versatile, they also have console style interface!,

4 out of 5Better Than OG X1
By damc34
from Rancho Cucamonga, CA
I was hoping to notice a huge difference playing games on the X compared to my OG X1 ... The visuals are definitely better in all games I have tried so far. The part that hasn't impressed me is game load times. In particular fortnite. It takes just as long to boot up that game on the X ... Other than that the OS does run quicker. I can move from menu to menu way faster. Now I just need to buy a TV with true hdr 10 to get the best looking version of my games

The loading times in fortnite are game related I tried on ssd having almost the same loading time, on PC fortnites takes more time than many games as well if you compare it against cod blackout which is a blink compare to fornite you should stop supporting their digital store because time is more valuable than money and sure they don’t respect you time

By MooseAMoose
from Elkridge, MD
My son purchased this gaming headset based upon its bluetooth capabilities. It works fine for an iPhone and is comfortable to wear. It pairs with a PC but his friends say the mic sounds muffled. Also, he could not hear everything during a Fortnight game. Lastly, it will not pair with a PS4 Pro. All in all, this is a wired gaming headset that can be used with your phone when you are out and about using bluetooth.

Bluetooth is the one to blame for it
November 25, 2018
I could do a trick with my tv that support sound over bluetooth and pair any bluetooth headset then use my console using tv sound, the bad is bluetooth sound technology has latency, if that doesn't bother maybe a in a quiet game that won't matter but you can't match the sound with what you see in the screen accurately for games that require it, that's why most wireless gaming headset uses radio frequency instead of bluetooth, hyperx made this headphone to mix the alpha cloud quality with a bluetooth receiver and battery for those folks that want to use them for watch movies and listen to music. That would be the same if you buy Bose quietcomfort, until bluetooth evolves to get low latency is when console will pair with that type of headphones.

5 out of 5Well, Hello Beautiful!
By Horizon
from Pittsburgh, PA, USA
I purchased this TV on a busy Black Friday evening. For the longest time, I had my heart set on one of the Samsung QLED’s, I am Samsung fan for most of their technologies. I knew this was going to be more of an investment for me. This would be a TV I would have for a long time considering my finances and the last time I bought a TV was maybe 2010; time for an upgrade.
After doing more research than my Master’s degree thesis, I decided to take a deep dive into the LG world; I never gave them a chance before. I came across the LG SK9000 and I was really happy with what I saw and I took many trips to Best Buy talking with sales associates to dissect it as much as we could. I want everyone to read this next sentence very carefully: There is no such thing as a PERFECT TV. Hear me out. Just how there are no perfect people, there is no perfect TV. There is the good and the bad with everything and I highly, highly, recommend everyone to do your homework and take trips to the store and see things for yourself. It doesn’t matter if you are in the market for a TV, kitchen appliance, whatever.
I was at a point where I just said, enough is enough with the research, time to commit! I went in Black Friday evening, and talked to one of the sales associates named, Mitch. It is time to put this gentleman in the spot light simply because he earned it. Even though Black Friday was in full force by now, Mitch was grounded, extremely knowledgeable, collective and seemed ready for anything. I told him I would like the LG SK9000 which he had to call the warehouse to get because they ran out on the floor. No problem. In the meantime we talked about the TV, and I could tell he was not BS’ing me. Everything we discussed in that short amount of time, Full Array Local Dimming, the 4K picture, the Remote, the User Interface, etc. Alright, time to bring up other TV companies other than LG. What Mitch did that I thought was really great was he gave straight FACTS and he let me decide on what was best for me. He didn’t necessarily push me one way or the other and did not talk negative about other products or companies, again he gave straight FACTS and he compared the TV’s I said on the spot; that’ pretty impressive. He also never let me out of his sight until I got the TV. All of this puts him in the distinguished category. I walked away with a new 4K Blu-Ray player as well.
I brought the TV home and Hello Beautiful! The setup was very easy, the picture is SPECTACULAR. I popped in Avengers Infinity War (4K UHD) and was beyond impressed! Very, very bright and sleek design! When that UHD kicked in, I couldn’t tell if Robert Downey Jr was on the TV or standing right in front of me. The Full Array Local Dimming is awesome and I understand what others are saying about the black levels in regards to some black’s look like gray. Yes and no to that comment. The black levels look fine to me. You have to remember it is still an LCD panel and not an OLED. With OLED the black levels are amazing. You can play around with settings and I feel after doing this, you can achieve whatever look you have in mind. It is not always going to be perfect out of the box. I remember seeing comments about the stand for the TV. I don’t have a problem with it at all. I think it’s sleek and I don’t have anything negative to say about the stand. Listen, if you have something negative to say about a stand for a TV, I am worried about you.
I thought the audio, Dolby Atmos was great! Although I don’t necessarily think a sound bar is %100 necessary, I bought one anyway the following day and that was a Samsung product. My advice: If it is in your budget, go for it. If a sound bar is it not in your budget, do not worry about it.
In regards to refresh rate, the motion and transition between scenes and pictures is very, very smooth. The action scenes in Avengers were super fun to watch for this very reason. 120 refresh rate is pretty much the standard anymore and I wouldn’t get too hung up on refresh rate. All companies have their own proprietary technology to enhance refresh rate and I would advise to look at what other features come along with refresh rate. i.e. Full Array Local Dimming. Reliable sources on the internet prefer this TV over other more expensive TV’s from other companies.
At the end of the day, this TV is a keeper! I will have this for a very long time and I am looking forward to movie nights, sport watching, 4K content, and much more! If you are looking for a very solid (I mean very solid) TV without spending thousands of dollars for say an OLED TV, I honestly wouldn’t think twice. Get the TV and you know what, take it back if you don’t like it. I highly doubt that will happen though!

good choice
November 30, 2018
I have to say the main differences between samsungs qled and lgs are the type of panel I can tell LG is the main developer of IPS which are one the greates panel after OLED with the only cons on blacks, but their colors are richer and more pop feeling than VA which are the samsungs of course qled are extremely well overclocked VA panels to deliver color quality as IPS but they simply doesn't look the same and their response time are usually lower not bad but I feel like they still behind IPS, just look at apple most of their displays are IPS with the add of dci p3, I would rather have one of these LG as monitor cuz they have high quality IPS panels rather than their monitors, only if they have a 43" that would be perfect for me.

What you need is pair it with an external gpu enclosure or egpu, honestly I don’t know why apple keeps using intel graphics only because the quicksync that works for few apps like video editing, if you pair this with an amd gpu it will blow away any macbook pro but you may end paying around extra $700 for that kind of solution the easiest way is to get the davinci egpu

By Mars770
Works with PS5 but only registered 5500 MBs read speed during setup. I replaced the drive with a WD 850 and the WD registered 6500 MBs. Honestly I didn’t see any performance issues with the 980. The drive worked flawlessly with all my PS5 games even out performing the system SSD. However, the 5500 MBs rating concerned me so I made the switch. So if you have the extra money and it’s available buy the WD 850. If not, the Samsung 980 pro is a great drive and I would recommend it!

playstation self benchmark isn't accurate
September 14, 2021
did you try few times the same benchmark? playstation benchmarks are inaccurate every test gives a different result, that's why you might thought the ssd was lowered speed when it's not, samsung ssd maybe doesn't reach the highest speeds but they are the best sustained speeds after the cache is full, most ssd have drastic slowdowns after few seconds of working due this, but I'll ignore that playstation benchmark anyway the sn850 is about the same performance than samsung 980, only con I found with western digital ssd is they consume more power while idle for no reason.

5 out of 5Best Display I've ever owned
By SatisfiedCustomer
I bought this tv to use as a monitor for PC gaming. I was on the fence about it for the longest time because of the size, but I could not be happier. This display is truly the best I have ever owned.
It is one thing to hear about OLED and see it on display, but you won't understand how incredible it actually is until you put your content on it and see how it enhances your viewing experience.
Picture quality in unmatched with deep, dark blacks, HDR looks great, colors pop, the glossy screen is so clear it's like I'm looking through glass into another world.
Something I was not expecting was just how smooth the tv feels. I came from a 144hz monitor, so I thought I knew what smooth was, but as it turns out, I was living a lie until I found this. This is truly low input lag, great silky smooth motion.
I also wasn't expecting to like the remote or UI of the TV as much as I do. My other TVs are Sony, and this honestly just blows everything else out of the water, and they very competitively priced.

Because it is OLED, you will have to watch out for burn in, but I haven't taken any extreme measures to prevent it with normal usage, and I'm going on a month with no issues yet. So long as you're aware that it's something that could happen, so you turn the tv off when you're not using it, and try to limit how long static content is displayed (such as a task bar, or HUD) you should be okay.
I was also worried about it not being bright enough for a bright room, but I haven't really found reflections to be that distracting. Yeah, it's probably better for dark rooms, but don't let that stop you from enjoying the incredible picture quality this thing offers.

Take the plunge, get OLED, get LG. I cannot recommend this TV highly enough

the motion you see now is more snappier due the fast pixel response times, also high end tvs handle motion way better, compared to your 144hz monitor experience yes it does look better, you can push it even further with black frame insertion and we are talking crt speeds territories but honestly on default it's already killing it. Glad you are able to experience a better display picture :D

3 out of 5A GREAT laptop with a BAD price tag

The laptop itself is a great laptop. But after tax, your looking at a compact set up that unfortunately performs about as good as a 5070 desktop or equivalent.
The BIGGEST problem however is the cooling on this laptop. It's good for about 3 weeks to a month. But shortly after, thermal throttle is present as soon as ANY program intensive work is conducted on it.
Purchased this laptop for work and gaming, but I have pretty much given up on the idea that portable gaming is a thing.
It's never the GPU that overheats or thermal throttles either. It's always the CPU. And during work loads and 3D drawings, it began faulting and rebooting at least on nce or twice a day.
Darn Shame as it truly is a nice laptop. But for nearly $3K, you may be better off just buying a cheap work laptop and utilize a eGPU to play games with it at that point, because the performance and price are better and cheaper.

if you haven't returned it, I will recommend trying silent mode and having Nvidia GPU only active when plugged to power wall. there is also G-Helper which has good reputation on doing a better job than Asus own software. I had similar experience with this laptop in a much less powerful GPU and I concluded that they advertised performance modes to hit high score benchmarks etc. but like you, in a sustained workload or after a while it starts to break down because physically is hard to keep these overclock modes running comfortably, also lifting the laptop helps but I found silent mode cutting the unnecessary power to both GPU and CPU a one click solution with a much silent operation, which I feel safe using for hours without getting a crash from overheating. I think that's how these components can breath and work comfortably but the unnecessary performance modes are just a marketing thing that hurts the laptop in the long run

Are they Bluetooth compatible with PS4?
"NO" bluetooth audio is not supported directly by ps4 or any console due latency, you can plug the headphones into the gamepad tho, that's the only around to use as bluetooth wireless but it has to be attached to your ps4 controller

Please, please, let there be more... I didnt get off work until 2 a.m.
bestbuy seems struggle with ps4 pro stocks not just the 500m edition, anyway I recommend try a different model I know many people like and think this is the best ps4 pro edition the truth it isn't their translucent plastic looks cool but it easily get scratched kind of annoying if you want the console to keep the nice look after you opened, so if you don't get one don't be sad it's just like any other edition imo
