Overall4 out of 5
4 out of 5Great performance at a price
By compguru910

Ugh, how to lead into this. Well, its fast. There is that. The GPU out of the box performs very well, and as an upgrade to a GTX 1080, its great. I play at 3440x1440 and in VR, and honestly this card feel just right for this resolution. Problem is, I have had a 1080ti before. This feels just like a 1080ti. The other problem with that, is the 1080ti is cheaper at the moment. If you're a value minded consumer, this isn't the GPU for you yet.
I say yet because there is untapped potential in these cards. First, there is the DLSS and RTX capabilities that we are simply waiting to be released. I don't expect anyone to buy on hopes, so I wouldn't recommend this card simply based on that. Nvidia has given us no reason to believe these will be competent cards in that regard, so don't believe they are. Secondly, drivers. If this was pascal (10 series) I wouldn't recommend waiting on drivers to improve performance, but they aren't. This isn't simply a rehash of Nvidias gaming arch of old, this is a pretty fresh arch. I could dive into the techincals of it, but I'll save that for elsewhere. But know that there are new cores in here running alongside the old cores that do things the other archs couldn't. It takes time to optimize these, and thats what happening. How much, I don't know. That said, I don't recommend buying on hope.
Now, if 1080ti performance is enough for you for a few dollars extra with the hope of better performance later and all the eye candy that comes with ray tracing, or the increased performance with DLSS (at a minor visual hit), then this is the card for you (unless you have 2080ti money). If not, don't buy it. Find yourself a 1080ti thats priced decently, and go with that. It has more raw performance, more memory, and steady drivers.

The 1080ti doesn't have the ray tracing capability which is one of the main selling points of the gtx 2080.

4 out of 5Expensive, but overall you’re still saving
By Beto79g
I purchased the Keurig descaling solution after feeling guilty for skipping the descale reminder for the second time. I love my Keurig and want it running smoothly so I purchased this solution. I agree with others, it’s very pricey, but it does a better job than vinegar. I tried white vinegar like others have suggested and it takes longer and more cycles to complete your clean. Ultimately, the goal is to empty your water resivour, fill with white vinegar or the Keurig solution and water, run a few cycles, let it sit, run 12+ cups of water through.
I’ll let you make the call, is it better to use vinegar and save a few dollars, or use the branded solution? I personally feel the Keurig solution works quicker, does a better job, and doesn’t give off the putrid vinegar smell. My solution is to simply run the Keurig solution every other time I get notified. After all, the cost I’m saving on coffee more than pays for the $12 solution.
I rate this a 4/5 due to the cost (which is the only downfall...let’s be honest, if this solution costed the same as white vingear you’d use it too without question).

Try this everyone going forward. Just buy a gallon of purified water. Get it at Krogers or Walmart for less than a dollar and use that to fill your reservoir, Depending on how much coffee you drink will determine if it is more cost effective for you. The big thing is I have used this option for well over 4 years and I still have never had to de-scale mine,

I always buy new when it comes to headphones... should have continued that trend. These buds arrived dead and with missing parts. Wireless charging case did not function properly either. Please do yourself a favor buy it new... packaging was also bad headphones were rattling around in the box. Stay away! Please pay the few extra bucks and buy new. Add the insurance and enjoy.

Ive tried and bought several refurb products in the past and every single one worked for not less than 12 months max or less and then problems. Just buy new and be done with it. The extra savings and no warranty is never worth it.

We~re bringing Quantum Dot Color to the people. Enjoy over one billion colors, without worrying about how many commas are on the price tag. You~re welcome. The U6G also has 4K resolution, Dolby Vision HDR and Full Array Local Dimming Zones. Sounds like science, looks like a way more expensive set. Especially with a quad-core processor managing all the algorithms that add up to more colors, more precision and more ooohhh.

1 out of 5Hisense U6G not HDR compatible with Windows 11
By skywalker
I bought a Hisense - 50" Class U6G Series Quantum ULED 4K UHD Smart Android TV recently. The firmware version: V0003.01.00A.L0304. The issue I am facing is the TV does not support HDR when connected as a monitor with my PC. I have Windows 11 and I see in the display setting that HDR is not supported for Windows 11. If I turn on the HDR in Windows display settings, the TV display goes dark (dimmed). Is there a way to fix this issue? Will Hisense be making a firmware update for this model soon? I see that the Android Security Patch Level is dated Feb 5, 2021 which is pretty old. Why is the patch not updated? Or am I missing something?
I also had to do some research to fix the difference between Desktop mode and Active Signal mode resolution. When I first hooked the TV with my PC, the Desktop mode had 3840 x 2160@60Hz while the Active signal mode had 1920 x 1080. My point is why would a TV of this capability and features have these issues right off the bat?
If Hisense does not fix this issue soon, I will have to return this TV and make other people aware of this shortcoming, which I feel can be resolved with a simple software update. These are the problems that none of the fast-talking wannabe-smart youtube reviewers talk about.

Other reasons!

Could be the pc you connected also. Does your current video card also support HDR and if so do you have the latest drivers installed. I am assuming that your tv does support HDr when I mention this.

4 out of 5Good but not great
By JosephO
Okay there’s a lot to be said about this monitor and its performance. I will speak pf the good up front because the bad were personal gripes that may have minimal impact on your decision. The interface is excellent as is customary with Samsung products. The Tizen smart tv OS has definitely grown into itself since even I worked at Best Buy, 10 or so years ago. It’s quick, responsive, and has a great diversity of apps and functionality. Spec for spec, I’d say the original price is a little high, but for what I paid (about $120 less because of a sale) it is well worth it. If I needed an all around monitor/TV setup I would absolutely choose this. Now for my gripes, it is a 240hz panel, but only allows 120 fps gaming. Though ir is still a good gaming monitor. This is my number one gripe as I “upgraded” to this monitor for the purpose of increasing my FPS when in fact it stayed the same but for an additional $200. The stand takes up A LOT of space. I was forced to put it on a monitor arm so it didnt take up so much desk space. Other than that I’d say it is a worthy purchase for most.

No 2k games are going to run much faster than 120
June 25, 2024
I noticed your complaint about games only running at 120. Im assuming you meant at 2k resolution. if im not mistaken even the most demanding games running at 2k or especially 4k with the best graphics card such as an RTX 4090 wont get much higher than 120 fps. The fact that it is 240 hz is just future proofing for games and video cards down the road that can actually do 240 I believe.
