Great 4k tv for the price, but disappointing at ti
on January 3, 2020
Posted by: John
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this on special for under $200, great features for this price. Picture is disappointing at times , too bright, blacks not deep enough and refresh rate only 60 hz. Sound is loud but the preset equalizer settings are lackluster. Better when connected to sound bar. Easy Roku setup, but user manual inadequate for fine tuning settings. Definitely not as good as my more expensive 65 inch but ok for a second tv.

Great sound for small speakers

Verified Purchase:Yes
Amazing stereo sound for small waterproof speakers. I use at poolside to connect by Bluetooth to Echo in garage, play my music from Amazon Prime, and I'm set for hours of commercial free pleasure. Have not yet used the walkie talkie function but I do see it being a handy function.

More fun than a dot
on October 17, 2019
Posted by: John
Verified Purchase:Yes
Screen gives this Alexa much more bang for the buck. Shows lyrics during most popular songs, recipes are clearly spelled out for you, and weather reports are given by the day or hour. Alexa however frequently gets confused and doesn't know how to answer many questions. Also don't place to close to other Alexas as the far field microphones are sometimes too sensitive and go to wrong Echo.

Have your car ready and running when you get to it with this Compustar Slice Jr. remote starter. Waterproof construction resists the elements on rainy and snowy days for reliable engine starts, and the compact size fits neatly in your pocket or purse. With its 2,500-foot range, this Compustar Slice Jr. remote starter works from inside your home or office.
 

Have a 1WR3R-AM model Compustar remote that needs to be replaced is this compatible?

No. That's the model remote that I needed but accidentally got this instead. Tech could not get this to work even though they look similar. I think they are programmed at different frequencies.

Echo Dot is a voice-controlled Smart Speaker with Alexa, perfect for any room. Just ask for music, news, information, and more. You can also call almost anyone and control compatible smart home devices with your voice.
 

can alexa send TV audio to me when Imn in my living room chair ?

There are several Alexa enabled soundbars available that will enhance your tv sound. I have a Polk Command that controls volume, bass and treble and a subwoofer for the uhd tv plus any music or audio Alexa can stream. Weather, news, trivia or other audio all sound clear and static free , and it doubles as an adequate audio system.
