Excellent surge protector for a home theater
on November 20, 2020
Posted by: Icaras
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have a couple of these protecting our home theater devices. So far the quality is great but if there is one thing I wish, is that the plugs were just a tad more spaced out from each other. I have LG TVs and sound bars that have a slightly wider plug surface area than other plugs and because of this, I can't plug anything else to either side of an LG plug. On the other hand, I really do appreciate the outlets facing to the side as it avoids taking up space when using right angle plugs (like that of those LG devices as I just mentioned).

New Apple Gift cards work on everything!

Verified Purchase:Yes
Finally, Apple has created a unified Apple Gift Card that can be used to purchase hardware products at the Apple Store, Apple Online Store, as well as digital products services such as Apple Music for example, and singular purchases on things like songs, TV shows, movies, books, apps, and in-app purchases too.
I also love the fact that you can deposit these gift cards into your Apple Account Balance for your Apple ID for convenience, but just keep in mind, that if you do this, the funds can no longer be used at a physical Apple Store.

Although Insignia does not specifically mention compatibility with the new iPad Air (4th generation), this fits it perfectly since the surface dimensions are identical to the iPad Pro 11-inch. The camera cut out also fits fine.

You're excited to buy a new countertop microwave ~ now, make sure to protect it. Geek Squad~ Protection enhances your manufacturer warranty and gives you extended coverage when the warranty ends. Geek Squad Protection often covers important repairs that your manufacturer warranty doesn't (like failure due to a power surge). If something goes wrong after the manufacturer warranty ends, rest easy; you won't be stuck with a huge repair bill. Geek Squad Protection has your back and will take care of any covered repairs.

1 out of 5Obnoxious Blooming, Bad For Dark Room Viewing
By Moss
from Aurora, CO
Colors are more true-to-life and not as exaggerate as an OLED.
The blacks can get fairly inky with local dimming turned on.
Input response is good.
Sound is good.
Displays SDR video really well.
Viewing angle is not so good, especially in the dark.

Viewing angle is not so good, especially in the dark.
The biggest issue I have with this TV, is that it the blooming is OBNOXIOUS and extremely distracting!
Running the local dimming test, it looks like there are 4 massive vertical zones across the screen (each zone seems to have it's own uniformity issues), but could not detect any horizontally. The zones are so big that the blooming lights up nearly 1/4 of the screen, creating thick bands of bad uniformity between light and dark.
Turning off Local Dimming and turning down the Backlight mitigates some of it, but at the cost of blacks turning to milky grey and colors losing vibrancy.
If you watch a lot of horror movies like I do or you watch TV in the dark, this is a TERRIBLE VIEWING EXPERIENCE.
I would not buy this TV again and I hope Best Buy will allow me to return it.
Also, if you play Red Dead Redemption 2, the game looks really bad on this TV, but other games like Mortal Kombat, XCom 2 looked decent...

Blooming made me get the OLED TV
June 10, 2019
I was pretty annoyed by the blooming as well. Either have massive amounts of blooming or watch with gray blacks. Not a good compromise. Watching at night is very distracting indeed.

Sound effects are in full effect with 5.1.2. channels. High resolution audio and Dolby Atmos enrich you in detailed sound that comes from all the right angles. Dolby, Dolby Atmos and the double-D symbol are registered trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.

1 out of 5Buying beware
By Donnie
Despite the high prices, LG soundbars are junk. My subwoofer died in the warranty period. LG product support keeps promising to send boxes to have it shipped to a repair facility. It's been 3 weeks and despite multiple attempts, nothing. They won't acknowledge emails

Agree with horrible LG support.
December 3, 2021
The subwoofer on my SN8YG just died, just 4 months after the warranty period expired. I was told I would be contacted about repairs within 2-3 business days and I'm on day 4 with still no word. I love LG products when they work, but once things break down and comes the time to deal with their customer support, buyer definitely beware!

LG doesn't honor warranty and this product is crap. I've tried multiple times to get my dead subwoofer repaired for 3 weeks. LG support is terrible. They keep promising to send boxes to get it repaired and I've received nothing.

LG customer support is a JOKE
December 8, 2021
I'm sorry that you're going through this. I just experienced this first hand just now whilst communication with their Twitter support. I contacted them a week ago and they were happy to set up a repair ticket for me in which they said LG would contact me within 2-3 days. One week later and nothing. Yesterday they said they would escalate the issue and to wait 48 more hours. And still nothing. I haven't even gotten a call or a shipping label. LG customer support is absolutely terrible!!

The ROG XG Mobile External GPU Dock reinvents external graphics by combining performance and versatility with true portability. Pair the XG Mobile with an ROG Flow Z13, X13, or X16 device for one of the most versatile and complete systems. Despite being 6% of the size of typical eGPUs, this device harnesses an AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT Laptop GPU with 12GB GDDR6, clocked to 2463MHz at 165W with ROG Boost.
Who here is getting one for ROG Ally?
I will be too. But not from Best Buy if they keep this price.

Ordered TV but now worried about watching tv/movies in the dark. Is anybody having issues with this??
I am. I posted a review and should be up soon but the blooming is indeed annoying when watching in the dark. Check out the photo I attached to see how bad "LED local dimming" is when turned to maximum. I went ahead and got the OLED to replace the SM9000 and I couldn't be happier.
