Major brand, major letdown
on December 22, 2024
Posted by: PistolPete
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this after another brand let me down twice in two years. It took a week for me to get tired of the quirks in this piece of expensive garbage.
Does it put out sound? Yes. Does it do it the way it should? No. When I set my devices to 7 channels, I expect to hear 7 channels, not just the front two.
When I set my devices to 120Hz video, I expect to see 120Hz video, not 60Hz.
When I switch to the input for my computer, I expect to see and hear video when played, not after going into the sound setting on my PC, muting and unmuting it a few times. If I start a new video, I have to repeat the process in order to hear it.
If I wanted Wally World garbage, I would've gone shopping there.

I like being able to put the mic wherever I want it so as to avoid the echo that others get from picking up the person and speaker noise.

James Dean became a national symbol for '50s teen angst in director Nicholas Ray's powerful character study of alienated youth. Dean stars as new kid in town Jim Stark, who faces problems at school, deals with his parents' constant arguing, participates in knife fights and chicken races, and finds friendship with fellow outcast Plato (Sal Mineo) and the beautiful Judy (Natalie Wood). With Jim Backus, Dennis Hopper. 111 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

I use it often to control Pandora on my phone, reply to texts or just check the time.
It cost half of what I paid for the Galaxy S2 watch.
I have friends who tell me their Apple watch battery lasts a week. My Samsung watch lasts just short of two days. Why, Samsung?

I have this hooked up to my PS5 and my X90K TV. It sounds so good that my friend who helped my juggle TVs and receivers was blown away by the sound check during the initial setup.
ATMOS sounds amazing.
Gaming is even more enjoyable when you can hear the guys trying to sneak up behind you.
The On-screen display is very handy.
The Auto-cal with the included microphone works so good that I didn't need to tweak anything like my last receiver.

I have bought this combo 4 times in the last 18 years. The two AA batteries last YEARS, even with everyday use. I went three years on one set that I used at work, five years my record for the set at home.
All the extra buttons across the top are pretty handy, too.

ADVANCED CUSTOMIZABILITY FOR ULTIMATE CONTROL. Our goal was to design the ultimate Xbox One controller, one adaptable to any gamer. We started with optimized ergonomics that stay comfortable after hours of practice, and interchangeable parts that adapt to your playstyle. Then we added Razer Chroma lighting and a suite of remappable buttons and triggers that allow you to change your layout and execute advanced techniques with ease. What you get is the most versatile and customizable controller ever.
 

Does the RGB at the top have controls? Can you change the colors on it?

ONLY on Xbox, NOT on PC. PC users just get a blindingly bright line of color-changing RGB, whether you like it or not.

GeForce RTX 3080 10GB GDDR6X PCI Express 4.0 Strix Graphics Card - Black
 

Is this the regular Strix version or the OC Strix version? I'm having a hard time determining which of the two this one is. The price would reflect the OC version, but I would like to make sure of this before spending that much.

If it doesn't say "OC Version" then it is NOT the OC version. What are you, new here?

Does this tv have a built in antenna or would it require an antenna to get local channels if you don't have cable?

TVs only have built-in tuners, not antennas. I'm 5 miles from the TV towers and still need a small indoor antenna.
