Great Film, Great UHD Disc
on December 28, 2018
Posted by: thorthefifth

Verified Purchase:Yes
The Evil Dead series is one of my absolute favorites and Evil Dead 2 is the most perfect combination of fun and frightening the series has to offer. If you haven’t experienced the film or it’s been awhile, this UHD presentation is the best way to go. The color and detail are amazing and it is the best I’ve ever seen this film presented. I have a standard soundbar so I can’t comment on the soundtrack but it was fantastic from my system.

Retro, Simple Fun
on December 28, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
If you have fond memories of the original NES and want a blast from the past with a great selection of classic games, this is the best retro experience possible. It has a fantastic game lineup, faithful display options along with save states that update the games without altering them. The controller is exactly as you remember and is perfect. It’s a great plug and play system. There are two issues to be aware of. The controller cable is extremely short so grab an extension cable. Also, it only includes one controller and extras are hard to get. Other than that gripe, it is a perfect miniature representation of the classic NES.

Does the Job and Looks Great

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have a Z-Wave security system and needed a smart lock that fit into the system. This Yale lock works really well and integrated easily into my security system. The lock is quite a beauty. Nice and sleek and works well. A few things I'd change are the manual lock feels kind of cheap and I wish there was a backup lock just in case. The price is also a bit high when compared to the competition but we've had no problems so far. Recommended.

Great Budget 4K HDR TV
on November 24, 2018
Posted by: thorthefifth
from Memphis, TN
Verified Purchase:Yes
When I bought this, I was looking at a particularly tight budget with a lot of considerations. First and foremost I needed HDR and especially Dolby Vision. Combine that with needing a wide color gamut and there are few TVs under $600 that meet the qualifications. This TV fits the bill perfectly and out performs anything else in the price range. It doesn’t get as bright as some others but it has the wide color gamut and Dolby Vision which is hard to find in the price range. The speakers aren’t very good but that’s a non issue for me as we have a nice soundbar as well. We mainly use appletv but the Roku interface is nice if that’s what you’re used to. I wish it had at least one more hdmi input but that’s a minor gripe. Overall great buy! Recommend highly!

Streamline your creative process. Writing and drawing with Surface Pen feels natural, with precision ink on one end and a rubber eraser on the other. Sketch, shade, and paint with artistic precision~the 4,096 pressure points respond to the lightest touch. Tilt your Surface Pen to shade your sketches just like you would a graphite pencil, using the pen tip that feels right.~

Best accessory for Surface!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I couldn’t imagine using the surface pro without the pen. It’s fantastic and works really well. The sensitivity is on par with the Apple Pencil but with programmable buttons that can be assigned to various tasks. Highly recommend if you have a surface.

Great Computer
on October 5, 2018
Posted by: thorthefifth
from Memphis, TN
Verified Purchase:Yes
I’ve used an iPad and Laptop for years. This is the first time I’ve been happy with a tablet style computer. The iPad was great for its ultra portability but lacked support for full fledged applications like photoshop. Laptops were always too cumbersome to lug around every day. Finally the Surface Pro allows me to get work done with all my windows apps but in a portable package. It’s fast, has great resolution, it’s light and portable and has great battery life. I highly recommend getting the surface pen and the keyboard cover as well for maximum utility. Overall, I’ve never been happier with a laptop as I am with the surface.

Great Movie, Great Package!
on October 5, 2018
Posted by: thorthefifth
from Memphis, TN
Verified Purchase:Yes
This may have been a polarizing film for some and a critical/box office flop but in my opinion, this is a fun film that meets expectations and fits the bill as a romp through Star Wars lore. We get to see the origins of some fan favorites as well as a few Easter Eggs here and there for the keen-eyed viewers. The 4K HDR viewing experience is exceptional as well as the audio. The steelbook is a great package that should fit well in anyone's collection. Highly Recommended!

I bought this TV just today. I see white patches on the edges of the screen as shown in the pictures and they are visible when the screen gets dark or black. Is this normal?

Yep. It’s an edge lit display and has a bit of light bleed. Most TVs in the price range have this issue. Have to buy a full array back light if you want to eliminate it. I think the step up 55s615 has a full array of its too distracting for you. I personally am used to it and hardly notice it anymore

Is the 55S515 Roku TV worth the $50 upgrade over the 55S405?

It was for me because of the addition of Dolby Vision and a slightly wider color gamut.
