Great with the price match

Was at the Best Buy store picking up another product and remembered that I needed AAA batteries at home. Best Buy's prices for name brand batteries are typically not competitive but they were able to price match to what another retailer was offering them for. Good policy!

Great performance...once dialed in
on November 30, 2020
Posted by: GadgetGuy3940
Verified Purchase:Yes
I needed a new receiver to upgrade to for playing 4K HDR content through. My last Denon (AVR-1713) still worked great after 6/7 years but it wasn't HDCP 2.2/2.3 compatible and so was unable to accept content from newer 4K-capable devices. However I had some confidence to stick with the Denon brand since it still functioned well after so many years. I got the Denon AVR-S750H once the price dropped by $150 during a 1-week sale. $349.99 is much better than $499.99! Overall I am very happy with the sound and the functionality. I only have a 5.1 system so I cannot comment on sound for Dolby 7.2 or Atmos set-ups but this receiver is indeed capable of those. Even on my 5.1 set-up it sounds great. Apple Airplay works well also, and I am using the receiver's ARC/eARC functionality. I did use the Audyssey auto calibration and it was fairly easy to set up the system from a speaker calibration standpoint. That being said I didn't give it 5 stars because the user interface is out-dated to me, not much different than my Denon from 6/7 years ago. Also, you really have to play around with a lot of the settings to get it to sound right on your own system. One setting, for instance (Dynamic Volume), made a huge difference in sound performance for my system. Additionally there is no printed instruction manual included to look up all of the settings to determine what they are and how they affect the sound. I had to find the manual online on Denon's website and it was NOT easy to find. Once I found the manual online it was difficult to navigate such a large PDF on my iPad. I realize that less manufacturers are including printed manuals these days but with how complex this product is (and receivers in general), Denon needs to either include a printed copy or make it much easier to find the manual online; give us a QR code to scan or a specific website. Once it is all set up it works great. Hoping that it is as reliable as my last one.

Better Option than Apple Charger
on November 7, 2020
Posted by: GadgetGuy3940
Verified Purchase:Yes
Works well. Charges quickly. Less expensive than the Apple 20W charger. I refused to purchase the Apple charger because it should have been included with the new iPhone 12 purchase but Apple decided to not include them saying it is to "reduce waste" which is bogus because they want you to buy another item with more packaging instead. They should have at least included a voucher. Anyway, this Anker charger does the trick for a little less $, is still good quality, compact, and works well.

Works well, quiet, but more complex to use
on November 7, 2020
Posted by: GadgetGuy3940
Verified Purchase:Yes
We use our toaster ovens a lot. We replaced a previous Cuisinart toaster oven with this one. This new toaster oven toasts and cooks fast and evenly in the modes tried so far. It has standard bake as well as two other convection modes which work very well. It toasts well also. The oven is also very quiet. One minor thing I dislike is the need to go into a digital menu and having to then use the dial to select toast, bake, convection, frozen, etc. Our last model was also digital, which we wanted, but also had shortcut buttons for toast and bake. This new oven just takes more steps to use, and has many more modes to learn to use it effectively.

Not "Grippy" and Difficult to Press Side Buttons
on November 7, 2020
Posted by: GadgetGuy3940
Verified Purchase:Yes
We have purchased "grip" cases from Speck in the past. Unlike previous versions we have purchased this particular case's grip ridges are NOT rubberized, rather they are the same clear slippery material as the case body. Additionally the the case makes for very difficult pressing of all the side buttons of the phone. I would not recommend this case due to it still being too slippery and the difficulty in being able to press the phone's buttons.

Fantastic sound!

Verified Purchase:Yes
Great speaker with fantastic sound. The app used for pairing is not highly intuitive and it can be expensive if not on sale. I have had a couple of the smaller models and loved them and saw this model as a Best Buy Deal of the Day at a very reduced price so I snagged it.

We~ll do the heavy lifting and save you time and hassle. Enjoy the convenience of our installers professionally setting up and mounting your TV to the wall and configuring your video components. We~ll make recommendations on placement for the best viewing experience and conceal properly rated cabling within the wall in a single stud bay.

In addition, we~ll program the remotes that come with your equipment and configure an existing voice-control device for basic TV control commands. Once the setup is finished, we~ll take the time to demo your new technology and make sure you know how to use it.

Nice polite service, could be more knowledgeable
on October 14, 2020
Posted by: GadgetGuy3940
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had the Geek Squad set up my TV as it was a high-priced item that weighed a lot and I wasn't taking any chances with it arriving damaged or damaging it myself. The installers were nice and polite and replaced an existing TV over the fireplace so I thought it wasn't going to be a big job for them. However, they wouldn't run a new upgraded HDMI cable (that I had purchased separately) through the walls saying it was out of scope of the standard installation. More annoying was that when everything was hooked up the audio just wasn't working through my receiver using the ARC outputs. The installers simply attributed the issue to ARC being inconsistent and an unreliable hook-up in general. I disagree with this as ARC has become the primary method of audio hook-ups these days and has better potential than the older optical option. They left with me thinking I might have to resort to the TVs own speakers or some other method but within about 15 minutes I figured out an audio setting on the TV that allowed the ARC to work just fine with my receiver. I feel that the Geek Squad installers should have known about this adjustment (I did share it with them afterward). Also, when signing up for the service, if there is a placement and configuration that you must have, be sure to let them know when ordering so that everything can be set up and priced accordingly before the install date.

GREAT TV!
on October 14, 2020
Posted by: GadgetGuy3940
Verified Purchase:Yes
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.

Great headphones for kids
on October 14, 2020
Posted by: GadgetGuy3940
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have been through many headphones for the kids and these tend to hold up very well. Strong braided SINGLE cord into just one side avoids tangling. Good sound quality. Adjustable. Fun colors. Under $30. Have lasted almost a year already. This is our second pair only because a pet chewed through the cord on the last pair.

Real deal Apple cable - Deal of the Day
on October 14, 2020
Posted by: GadgetGuy3940
Verified Purchase:Yes
I try to only buy the genuine Apple cables like this one. They last much longer than the $5 ones from "Five Below". Now these 6.6' ones can get pretty pricey at $30 or more, but I got three of these when they were a Best Buy "Deal of the Day" for $15 each. Yes they are three times the price of the knock-offs but they LAST and are much more reliable long term.

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.
