May work on the Roku Premier remote, but it does not work for the Roku Premier+ remote. Bought it to test so you don’t have to. Be warned.

Great potential
on July 14, 2019
Posted by: AKWanderer
Verified Purchase:Yes
The beauty of OLED TVs comes with its tradeoffs. The instant response of the OLED pixels ( vs LCD pixels) materializes itself as a very juddering/stuttering motion when camera slowly pans (i.e. smooth environmental documentaries or scrolling credits). What is technically more precise, creates an annoying experience. It is extremely frustrating for a ~$2,000 "flag-ship" premium television set.
OLED TVs have yet to produce a comparatively low peak brightness and this TV is no different. There is a technical limitation to the amount of light output each OLED pixel can produce. It cannot be used in a bright area. Watching a mildly dark movie in day light is next to impossible.
The previously identified brightness issue is made worse with a 'feature' found in every OLED TV panel, Automatic Brightness Limiter (ABL). Due in part to the TV power supply's inability to sufficiently power every OLED pixel's maximum brightness at once and as a safeguard to reduce the Plasma TV-like image retention, once a majority of pixels are emitting increased light output the panel uniformly decreases all light output. In many content this leads to a constant brightening and dimming of the panel's pixels. There is no way to disable this feature.
This TV has potential, but like in relationships the beautiful ones are high maintenance. Wait a few more years for an OLED purchase.
Scheduled for Geek Squad calibration and will update after.

Not subtitle friendly
on June 1, 2019
Posted by: AKWanderer
from Anchorage
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you watch with subtitles the LED full-array blooming effect could be very distracting.
I loved the picture for the price, but as the top tier of Vizio’s TV line at the time, I was disappointed in its handling of subtitles. The blooming effect from the LEDs brightening and dimming constantly with the subtitles was distracting, especially in dark scenes. The feature that sold me on this TV was the full-array with local dimming feature. However, it seems the logic that controls the LED zones or provides awareness of subtitles were subpar and it left me frustrated.
I returned this and purchased an OLED. It doesn’t get nearly as bright, but the subtitles (and surrounding picture) look great!

Will not play Blu-Ray @ 1080p from PS4 on OLED TV
on June 1, 2019
Posted by: AKWanderer
from Anchorage
Verified Purchase:Yes
After comprehensive troubleshooting involving changing PS4 settings, multiple hdmi cables, HDMI ports on 4K TV, and separate HDTV, the odd man out was this cable.
Shorter no-name brand cable worked in all ports and on different TV. My hypothesis is that it is an HDCP incompatibility issue, and the cable is not support the required version.

Save counter space by installing this LG over-the-range microwave. This microwave has eight auto-cook options to take the guesswork out of cooking times and 10 power levels to prevent overcooking. Take advantage of the removable wire rack in this LG over-the-range microwave to cook multiple dishes at the same time.

No LED cook light??
on December 29, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
Product looks great and reheats my meals well. I purchased it in conjunction with two other LG appliances. Each sport LED lights. It was surprising to turn on the cook light to see the soft weak incandescent bulb. It look cheaper alongside the other LED laden appliances.

Orbi Wi-Fi 6 is a tri-band Wi-Fi system built with the fast Wi-Fi 6 technology to provide an ultimate smart home experience with Wi-Fi coverage and connection capacity beyond belief. Keep all your Wi-Fi connections strong, in every room, all the time with enough bandwidth for all your devices, multiple 4K or 8K UHD streaming video, music for your Wi-Fi connected speakers, fast online gameplay, smart lights, Wi-Fi security devices and more.
 

Is there a way to hang these up? From the shape, it doesn't look like they can be hung up. I've read that I should place my WiFi router up high for best coverage.

Yes. Netgear sells a wall mount for these devices but Best Buy does not carry them.

What is the difference between the Ax6000 and the AX4200 WiFi 6 mesh system

Biggest difference will be bandwidth. AX6000 = theoretical 6000Mbps (2.4Ghz (1,200Mbps) + 5Ghz (2,400Mbps) + 5Ghz backhaul (2,400Mbps)). AX4200 = theoretical 4,200Mbps (2.4Ghz (600Mbps) + 5Ghz (1,200Mbps) + 5Ghz backhaul (2,400Mbps)). The backhaul radio is a dedicated band that connects the two Orbi devices wirelessly and shouldn't be considered in the bandwidth equation but "advertising"... So realistically AX6000 theoretical max bandwidth is 3,600Mbps with the AX4200's is 1,800Mbps.

Best Buy does not sell the wall mount adapter, but they can be purchased from competing online retailers.

Designed to give your Apple Watch a classic, yet bold new look. Made from minimally treated, vegetable tanned leather from one of America's oldest tanneries. The leather is designed to beautifully patina with time, creating a handsome, rich leather strap with a look that is uniquely yours.
 

Has anyone tried this band with water? Obviously leather isn't usually waterproof, but does anyone have any experience? Maybe it's more water resistant than other leather bands?

It does incorporate a fair amount of glue in its fabrication. I would avoid submersing it in water, but casual washing hands shouldn’t be a problem. Dry it right away as it is prone to retaining odors.
