I have quite a few smart bulbs from other vendors and this one seemed inferior. I was unable to connect to my router and it didn't have the flexibility to work with other apps

Poorly packaged and seemed a return

This was packaged in a basic bubble wrap and the opener was scratched like it was a return. This seemed very un-hygienic for a straw during the time of a pandemic. I returned it immediately

A good laptop, but the screen resolution is no good.
I bought this for my friend who does minor photo editing and she was not happy with the screen. It is a very low resolution compared to similar laptops in the same price range

An amazing movie and villain... A must see
on September 29, 2020
Posted by: Bender
Verified Purchase:Yes
This was a great movie with a villain that some can relate to. Some people may say that it's overrated and not believable, but I think they are setting expectations to high.
For those that say it's not believable.... Is Thor believable??
RIP Chadwick Boseman

How many watts is sr8012.I have Definitive top of the line speakers .Sr8012 should be enough to power them.

The SR8012 kicks out 140 Watts RMS per channel and should be able to push any Def Tech speaker

Can I program the remote to wok on a Samsung DVD Player. And, if so, how would I do this ?

If the player is connected via HDMI, you can control the Samsung BluRay player. I’m currently doing it with my Samsung player. No setup needed. It will control the player a few seconds after you switch to the input.
