Solid entry level laptop for virtual schooling
on October 14, 2020
Posted by: GadgetGuy3940
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a solid laptop that was easy to set up and works well and has been reliable so far. So issues and it is used at least 5 days a weeks for child's virtual schooling. I's entry level so don't expect super high quality components. Compared to my work-issued Dell Latitude, this entry level Lenovo doesn't feel as solid with the touch pad clicking, the light plastic body, and even the AC power port. But for an entry level laptop that just sits on a desk (not transporting it) it does the job. My only complaints are that the screen is VERY dim and has very little contrast. If I did it again I would forgo the touchscreen functionality for a full HD brighter display. Luckily this does not bother the kid at all.

Ensure smooth gliding and less friction with this Insignia mouse pad. The marble decoration keeps it looking pretty, but it prevents your optical or laser mouse from getting clogged up with dust or dirt to ensure smooth operation. A low-friction surface on this Insignia mouse pad reduces tugging when you're using your mouse.

Our daughter liked the "marble" color and the price was typical for a mouse pad. Seems to be holding up just fine.

5 out of 5GREAT 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.

This Sony X950H full-array LED smart TV features Android TV with the Google Assistant for easy access to a range of streaming services.
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?
