Got this case as a starter for new phone purchase. The lip around the edge does not offer much protection and the case turned yellowish after a few months.

Our phones~ screens are the windows to our digital world, and we want a seamless experience as we swipe and type on our Apple iPhone 15. Nothing delivers that experience quite like the ultra-smooth surface of glass. So, we created Glass+ Defense, which is 95% stronger than the average screen protector, to be able to withstand the rigors of our day-to-day lives and the unexpected.

Took old broken TV

Haul away service guys were professional and courteous. However, they were third-party (not Geek Squad) and didn’t know that the service included movement of a TV to another room which they did anyway. Just make sure you specify when ordering (not that there is an easy way to do this).

Courteous, professional, but less than requested

Posted by: GadgetGuy3940
Verified Purchase:Yes
This service add-on is great for a straightforward over-the-fireplace installation as the installers were able to hoist and hang my 85” TV without damaging it. However, they were not willing to fish long replacement cables down a wall, into a basement, and back up to the living room even though they could have used the existing cables to pull everything through. The installers were courteous and honest on their capabilities. They were a third-party company as opposed to Geek Squad which did the long cable install 4 years ago without issue.

The SANUS Elite BLT3 Advanced Tilt 4D TV Wall Mount features a revolutionary design, providing 6.8~ of extension on a tilting mount. Tilt 4D advanced technology tilts in four directions. The extension allows even the largest of TVs to achieve the maximum listed tilt range. Large TVs installed on traditional tilting mounts often hit the wall, limiting the maximum tilt that can be achieved. The BLT3 solves this issue by extending from the wall, offering TVs a larger tilt range. More tilt translates to better glare reduction. This makes the BLT3 the go-to tilting mount for all above-eye-level mounting locations, like over the fireplace. Additionally, because the mount can extend the TV 6.8~ from the wall, cables and wires can be accessed quickly and easily while the TV is still mounted. This makes the initial hook-up and future device switches a quick and easy process.

Our brightest 4K TV delivers remarkable picture quality and our most authentic cinematic experience. Expanded contrast and extreme brightness revitalizes every scene for a lifelike picture just as the creators intended. An array of multi-directional speakers produces expansive theater-like surround sound immersing you in the action.

Great TV with an for improvement
on July 14, 2024
Posted by: GadgetGuy3940
Verified Purchase:Yes
The picture quality on this TV is fantastic. Blooming is almost nonexistent. Black bars on wide-scope movies stay black, even against very bright scenes. The biggest criticism is that the X-Wide angle treatment for improving off—angle viewing also causes the dreaded rainbow effect from lighthouses in the room in dark scenes. These rainbow effects seem much more noticeable than on my 4-year old 75” Sony that has the X-Wide filter as well. Essentially you do need to control light in your room to avoid the rainbows. This is pretty much the case with all TVs. They all try to deal with light reflection differently and with different negative trade-offs. I would still recommend this TV. I would advise Sony to go less aggressive with the treatment used on their screens.

GREAT TV!
By GadgetGuy3940
I wanted an LED set with great upscaling and motion handling (to watch shows and sports on cable), great video processing for all sources, for use in a bright room, and with reliable reviews from others. After MUCH research I went with the x950H and am so glad that I did. Sony is known for their video processing (including upscaling) and color accuracy. No need to professionally calibrate this set. It looks great on Cinema setting with a few tweaks. Sports and other fast moving content look great. Streaming 4K HDR source are amazing. It was between this and the x900H but after comparing them side by side and reading about the many more issues with the x900H (banding due to lack of gradient smoothing features and motion settings reverting) I decided to go with what is most important to me, picture quality and content. The Android OS has just about every content app that is needed and the GUI is fairly snappy. I am also not using this TV for gaming so I was not concerned at all about the lack of HDMI 2.1 (the only advantage besides a lower price that the x900H has). Once in a while I lose wifi network connectivity and have to unplug or reset the TV. This has happened 2 or 3 times since owning the set. The lowest I have seen the 75" for is $2599 here at Best Buy during their 2-day sale going on during Amazon's Prime Days. I did get the delivery and set-up service from Best Buy because I had read about too many horror stories of cracked screens from deliveries that stop at the front door. Wasn't taking any chances with this purchase.

Regarding X-Wide Angle Technology
October 16, 2020
I will say that although the X-wide angle technology on this set helps a bit with off-angle viewing, the technology also results in an odd "rainbow effect" where any light source reflection yields subtle rainbow-colored lines emanating from it on the screen. The overall brightness of reflection may be reduced vs. sets without the X-Wide technology, but the rainbow effect can be just as distracting, and I often still need to turn off or cover light sources in the room for a better viewing experience. I will say that the TV gets plenty bright to offset reflections which are mainly noticed in dark background scenes.

Will this model be getting the update that adds the Apple TV+ app? Sony recently announced that the update would be coming to "most 2019 and 2020, and select 2018 models". Will the x950H series be one of these models? If so, when will it happen?
