You want THIS Roku if you have a 4K TV...

Verified Purchase:Yes
This was on sale for $24.99 ($15 off), and the reviews were pretty good, so I went for it.
I have to say that it's every bit as good as the overpriced Apple TV ($150 or more). It's snappy, very responsive remote / app, and awesome picture on my 50" Q60A Samsung 4K TV.
I only wish it could be programmed to run my JBL sound bar when you hit the volume key on the side of the remote. I tried. It won't work.
Other than that, it's a solid purchase at that price. Very happy...

QLED 4K 50 inch….most bang for the buck!
on December 17, 2021
Posted by: BMunster
Verified Purchase:Yes
I’d say it’s the most bang for the buck when it comes to a 4K TV. I got the 50” to mount above my fireplace coming from a 43” 1080p TV, this was a YUUUUUUUGE improvement. It’s super thin, super lightweight, and those blacks are….black!
I especially love how it upgrades the 1080p signal. 95% of the time, that’s what you’re watching, assuming you’re watching the average cable TV signal. It looks very sharp. The colors and tones are amazing. I didn’t use the sound, as I am using a JBL sound-bar and subwoofer for audio. So I can’t comment on that.
But everything else on this QLED 50” 4K TV is outstanding. Including that rechargeable / solar remote! Definitely a great deal @ the Black Friday price…

Works great with the Mac Mini M1. Super sharp.
on December 11, 2021
Posted by: BMunster
This 28" 4K by Samsung is one of the sharpest computer monitors I could find. I tried going cheap and getting the "2K" 32" version by LG, but when reading text on the screen, the text was blurry and actually caused eye strain. I had to return it, and went with this monitor instead.
This is much much much clearer, and the colors are spot-on. I really like the design, the modern-looking stand, etc.
BestBuy made it easy with their wonderful and convenient curb-side pickup. They brought it out to my truck on a busy, windy, and cold Saturday afternoon, making it easy for me to get in and out within minutes so I could get home and mount it.
I have it connected to my M1 Mac Mini, and it looks great. Again, super happy.

An absolutely amazing monitor, especially considering the cost.
I hooked it up to a MacMini M1, and wow. The colors. The sharpness. The beautiful thin black bezels. The anti-glare screen. LG hit a bullseye with this monitor.
Can’t say enough good about it. And BestBuy N Canton is always super helpful and professional.
Thumbs up.

Almost the perfect entry level full frame camera…
on December 7, 2021
Posted by: BMunster
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Z5 is a good deal @ $999. I wouldn’t pay anymore for it simply because it lacks a top LCD screen, and the frames per second (4.5) is subpar for even an entry level mirrorless full frame camera. 7 fps would be much more acceptable.
But if you can get it for sale price of $999, I’d say it’s a great choice. The EVF is very impressive.

Simply the best iPhone ever produced.
I got the blue 128GB version for AT&T. It looks sharp, speakers are amazing, and the display is just beautiful.
I had the iPhone 12 Pro, and it was a great phone, but I missed the larger screen. I can see myself using this camera quite often, as it’s really impressive. Takes great portrait shots!
North Canton BestBuy was a great help, too!

Keeps falling out of the holster. Very loose fit.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I’ve used Otterbox cases for about ten years now. I’ve used them on literally every iPhone I’ve owned.
This one is good and all, but like many other em reviews say on here, the case will fall out of the holster with the slightest bump.
I had to actually insert electric tape at the bottom corners of the holster to make it fit tighter, as I can’t afford to lose a $1,000 IPhone.
Otterbox, please read these reviews and take care of this issue. It seems your quality control has lapsed lately….??

Great concept, but it’s very hard to put in and get out of the holster. And the top half of the screen goes unprotected.
Had to return it, and went with the more expensive Otterbox Defender case.

I had $40 in rewards, plus it was $40 off for Black Friday, so I barely paid over $20 for it.
Pretty easy to download to my Mac mini. It’s not something I’ll use all the time, as I usually just use Apple Photos to edit, but this does a lot of things that Photos app doesn’t do.
So for the small investment, I’d say it’s a winner, seeing that I only have to buy it once :)

By BMunster
I think the 50" QLED is the way to go. Huge 65" TVs show more flaws in the picture, and tend to look kind of gawdy in a small room. I don't think a lot of people see it that way.
Love the Ambient Mode feature, although I wish you could use a flash drive of your own photos instead of the sample pics they offer. That definitely should be changed next time.
At $649 I thought it was a pretty good deal. Very happy with it.

Why not be able to upload multiple photographs?
April 17, 2020
I love this TV, but as an amateur photographer, I would love to be able to upload multiple photos so that the Ambient Mode function turns into a slide show instead of simple being able to display one photo constantly. It appears that it's limited to one photo. Am I correct?

I know the 9th Gen IPad isn’t full of the latest greatest in technology, and it APPEARS to be the same as the 8th Gen IPad, but…
It has a new front facing camera with Center Stage technology….a faster processor, and a few other updates including more memory. And….they price matched Amazon so I got mine for $299.
I couldn’t justify the additional couple hundred bucks to go with the mini 6 or the iPad Air. And call me old, but I love the simplicity of the traditional “Home” button.
I think I kind of stole it @ $299…

5 out of 5Bella Small Size May Fool You - Generous Capacity
By pauldar

The Bella Pro Series 2-qt. Touchscreen Air Fryer is disguised as compact air fryer. However, after using it for three weeks I discovered this versatile air fryer is an efficient counter top appliance, which enables healthier cooking for Grandma and me. I can Air Fry, Broil, Bake, Roast, and Reheat with little or no oil. And, the best part is that healthier air fried foods are just as tasty and delicious as if they were deep-fat fried. How cool is that?
This Bella Pro Series air Fryer is a cut above the rest of the Bella Houseware Kitchen products and is designed for higher performance. It is made of mostly plastic with a non-stick coated steel frying basket and crisping tray. The frying basket has a 'cool-touch' handle, and the body of the whole unit is finished in finger print resistant, matte black. It blends in with all of my Kitchen appliances and the bottom of this unit has four rubberized non-skid feet to keep it stable. It is lightweight enough to be portable and I often move it about on different places as needed. My counter tops are heat resistant. The manufacturer suggests placing this air fryer on heat-resistant work spaces in order to avoid counter top damage. This unit pulls in air to circulate over the 1200 watt heating element in a circular vent at the top of the unit. Heat is exhausted out of the back of this unit so the manufacturer suggest to keep a four inch clearance from walls or other objects during operation. When removing the frying basket it is important to place it on a heat-resistant surface, or trivet because it will be hot.
Advantages of this Bella Pro Series 2-qt. Touchscreen Air Fryer:
* Healthier cooking using little or NO oils whatsoever. Air Frying is the new approach to reduce cholesterol and polyunsaturated fatty acids in cooking oils. Again, I am amazed at how tasty air frying is and good for my health too. YooHoo!
* Quickly cooks vegetables, meats, fish, and poultry without preheating. Holds up to to two quarts of volume. Enough French Fries to serve my four Grand Kids when they visit and want a snack. WoW!
* High performance circular heat technology. Distributes heated air flow for faster cooking. It cooks the foods more evenly and makes them crispier too. YUMMY!
* Responsive and easy to learn Touchscreen Controls. Preset functions with preset temperatures and times. However, the time and temperature can easily be changed manually at any time during the cooking process. By using the marked Up & Down Time and Temperature arrows both Time & Temperature can be decreased, and, or Increased. This is important when cooking foods, then pausing to shake, and or, turn the food items half way through the cooking process. I can easily tell when I need to add or increase the temperature or time.
* Safety features include the pausing of the preset cooking choices when the frying basket is pulled out of the air fryer. The cooking process will resume immediately when the fryer basket is installed back into the main body. The unit will Not cook if the fryer basket is NOT installed. The unit can be turned OFF by pressing the Power Button for two seconds. After 60 minutes this unit will automatically turn OFF and sound an audible tone.
* Care and Maintenance is NOT complicated. The frying basket and crisping tray are easily cleaned in my Kitchen sink with soapy water, and. by hand as I prefer. They can also be put in the Dishwasher, but I think they last longer if cleaned by hand. The main body of this Bella air fryer can easily be cleaned with a damp dish cloth.
* Be aware there is a learning curve to the process of air frying. Pausing the cooking process half way through the presets is very important. I can easily determine if I need to continue with the same preset Times and Temperature, or, if either one needs to be changed. The Bella Touchscreen makes this a simple adjustment.
* Tips – Placing a piece of aluminum foil under the crisping tray makes clean-up much easier, especially when air frying, roasting,or broiling fatty meats. Make sure the 'shiny' side is facing up. It reflects heat much better under the crisping tray. Try re-heating foods in this Bella instead of your microwave. This Bella reheats foods more evenly and thoroughly. Love It!
* This Bella Air Fryer is quite an energy saver compared to my conventional six cubic foot oven. The Bella only uses 1.2 KW, while my conventional oven uses upwards to 4 KW and takes much longer to preheat and cook. The Bella is fantastic in comparison.
I highly recommend this Bella Pro Series 2-qt. Touchscreen Air Fryer. Me and Grandma are amazed how quickly this unit prepares our foods in less time then it takes to preheat my conventional oven. We were very skeptical at first because healthier foods aren't supposed to taste this good, or are they? Buy a Bella Air Fryer and find our for yourself . This unit is ideal for a couple, or family of four with two small children. This Bella is inexpensive, and may actually pay for itself over time compared to using your conventional oven. Makes a great wedding, housewarming, or just a special gift to that particular person or family member on your list.
