Awesome ,compact device that delivers

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is an excellent streaming device that delivers 4k Dolby vision and HDR 10 on supported televisions. It's Dolby Atmos audio capabilities varies with different apps. Atmos works with prime and doesnt work with Netflix. Google play store is still absent but at least the full YouTube app is present now.Hopefully,they can resolve all this in the future. It is a simple plug and play device. I would highly recommend it.

Amazing TV, needs new 4K HDR10 60hz hdmi cables
on November 15, 2019
Posted by: akin6172
Verified Purchase:Yes
This Vizio M558-G1 TV is amazing at 55 inches, it has deep blacks ,great contrast and wonderful eye popping colors. Once you watch this TV for a while ,no other screen or computer monitor looks good anymore. I initially bought the 50 inch version which is the M507-G1, i noticed it wasn't that bright and the contrast wasn't that good so i returned it for the 55 inch version and the difference is night and day, u simply have to see it for your self especially when u watch 4k HDR10 content. There are a couple of things that i will advice before u can truly unlock the potential of this TV ; the first thing is to get new 4K HDR10 60Hz high bandwidth compliant HDMI cables, trust me it matters. I used old hdmi cables and 4k content did not load properly and i was having black screens and reloads, u can pick up good cables on the web for about $15.The second thing is that you will need to activate UHD color on the TV, it is off by default on all the HDMI ports except on the ARC HDMI 1 port which is used for sound input for your soundbar and passthrough video input. All you need to do is to press the Menu button on your remote, scroll down and select input settings,select the HDMI port from the other 3 available HDMI ports that you want to use and turn the Full UHD color to on. I have no clue why Vizio left this off by default , u would think it should be automatically set to On by default.After you do these 2 things , u will see this TV in its full glory.One thing i also noticed is that 4K Dolby Vision HDR wont work when u enable UHD color . UHD color is needed for the other HDR version which is known as 4K HDR 10. In conclusion, this TV is amazing and its available for under $500, which i consider is an amazing price. U wont regret this TV, i am absolutely loving it.

Good mouse, very comfortable in hand
on October 6, 2019
Posted by: akin6172
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is good mouse, nice shape which fit most hand sizes. Feels well built and has custom weights to adjust it to your liking. Only thing I noticed was there was a slight latency with the clicks, if you are not a gamer u might not notice but you do notice that slight micro second delay. Would definitely recommend this mouse.

This is the best mouse pad I have ever used and it feels just right. Its just the right size and for the price i bought it , i am not complaining. Using your mouse feels really tactile and responsive. U never feel like the mouse is going to get away from you and over slide. It is simply amazing and would recommend it.This is a Grade A product from corsair.

really subjective...but didn't feel good for me
on July 27, 2019
Posted by: akin6172
Verified Purchase:Yes
Using a mouse pad is very subjective, it depends on the user. some people have different needs and expectations from a mouse pad and this one wasn't made for me. The material on this corsair is microfiber and it shows when u use it, it is just too slick and you don't feel you are in control as the mouse just slides everywhere. i returned it and got a corsair MM200 mouse pad instead for the same price and i am in love with that one. The corsair just feels more tactile and sudden movements using your mouse dont feel like its just slipping around. Like i said some people will love the things i hate and would recommend you test out a variety of pads to find what works for you. this one sadly isn't for me.

Awesome product
on July 27, 2019
Posted by: akin6172
Verified Purchase:Yes
This a fantastic low cost product. i installed it on an old laptop using a regular hard drive and it gave it a second life. Once you go SSD you don't go back. SSD drives are simply amazing, they just make everything faster. I get frustrated using a regular hard drive on any device, In my opinion regular hard drives should be banned. SSD should be the industry standard and regular drives need to be phased out. this SSD is quick and boot times are amazing, its like u just blink and your laptop is on the home screen , ready to go without the annoying wait time. All SSD's are really quick and its very hard for me to know how to judge it's speed. its like trying to determine which formula 1 car is the fastest. really recommend this product.

Awesome mouse, perfect for me with large hands. It feel great s and very responsive with precision. The only problem is the razer synapse software, the interface is just horrible. I have used logitech and corsair softwares and they are light years ahead of Razer. The mouse is awesome but the razer synapse software is just too bland

Discover a whole new level of immersion that envelops you in 7.1.2 channel surround sound with multiple speakers, a built-in subwoofer and advanced audio technologies. And with rear speakers it supports 360 Spatial Sound Mapping.
 

The sound quality of my Sony OLD 83" TV, 7000 soundbar and 2 wireless speakers is unacceptable. The sound quality as advertised is not the same. Why do i have to keep turning the TV up to 50 to 60 to hear it?

Try turning on the Voice option on your remote. Also turn off Audio DRC and Turn on Advanced auto volume. To do this
Press Home on the remote >setup>advanced settings>audio settings.
Make sure Audio DRC is off, it limits the volume by as much as 50%

I have a SONY ultra HD Blu-ray / DVD player and hundreds of CDs and Blue-ray discs. Can I enjoy these discs fully by plugging the player into this 7000 soundbar without any amplifier/receiver?

Yes , it should work plugged in. Both Sony devices so they should work fine

I have a LG 70UM6970PUA, I watch most of my content through a Chromecast with google tv. I also have a ps4 & switch that are connected. I was looking to get the HT-A7000 and new SA-RS5 speakers. Is this sound bar compatible or too much for my current tv?

It should be okay, I have an LG C2 and it works fine with it

Can the sound bar be attached to the bottom of the TV? I have a Sony - 65" Class BRAVIA XR A80J Series OLED 4K UHD and the TV is on a dynamic wall mount (the mount can be moved around.). I would like the sound bar to be attached to the TV or the mount.

It can't be attached to the TV but it comes with wall brackets in the box so u can fix it on the wall under the TV

How do you turn this thing on? It says it suppose to turn on automatically after I plug in, and it says hello, but I can't get it to do that. The remote won't turn it on either. Am I missing a switch somewhere? This is my 2nd unit figure. The 1st was a de

Sounds like you have a defective unit, I just plugged mine in and pressed the power button on the remote or the the touch button on the bar itself.connect a device to it like a streamer and see if it changes, make sure it is hooked up correctly to the tv. Take it to best buy and have it checked out

Can a Roku streaming 4k remote control the Sony HT-A7000 volume and mute? Thank you.

I believe it should, my apple tv . Nvidia shield and fire cube remotes can control it. If you plug into the sound bar , I think it should work fine.

Will the HT-A7000 fit under a Sony a80K with the stand/legs in the raised "soundbar" configuration?

I have an A90j in the raised position and it fits under it ,so I believe it should fit under an A80k also

Basic bootup speeds won~t cut it ~ not at work, on the go, or in the game. But the Crucial P3 SSD is anything but basic. With NVMe performance that~s more than 6x faster than SATA2 and storage capacities up to 4TB3, the P3 leaves older storage technology in the dust. Get faster bootups, downloads and file transfers, and store all your files, photos, videos, apps, and games with room to spare with the quality and dependability you expect from Crucial.
 

Does this come with a screw to install it?

No it doesn't come with a screw.
