Not perfect but a great value

Verified Purchase:Yes
The dynamic range (it supports HDR10 & Dolby VIsion), the color palette, the resolution and size for the price you pay compared to comparably featured TVs makes this a great deal. The Roku interface is easy but it would be nice to have single-button access to particular inputs to make macros on my remote control easier. The only visual drawback is that the brightness is not 100% even across the screen (particularly on an all-white screen like my UHD player defaults to). The corners are fairly dark. This isn't obvious in most movie or TV scenes; mostly in nature documentaries set in polar regions with lots of snow. Maybe that's normal for edge-lit LCD TVs (this replaces my highly rated Panasonic plasma set which of course doesn't do that but which can't do 4K or HDR). Pop in a UHD with Dolby Vision (like "The Matrix") and the picture actually looks better than I've ever seen in any movie theater, including IMAX and Dolby Vision theaters as the blacks are truly, inky black and the whites are bright, snowy white (not bluish). Colors really pop. Details in shadows are there and bright parts of the image aren't blown out. Natures shows like "Planet Earth II" and "Blue Planet II" on UHD with HDR10 look almost three-dimensional. Really mesmerizing. And it seems to upscale HD input pretty well from my satellite, Blu-ray, streaming and media player inputs.
Another USB input would be nice as I like to put LED light strips for bias lighting behind my TVs and using the one USB input would mean I can't use it for slide shows of pictures on memory sticks. Not a big deal.
With more even backlighting and another USB input, I would give this a 5-star review. As is, I'd like to give it 4 1/2 stars.
The Best Buy version differs slightly from what you can get from other sources in that it has an IR remote (which I actually prefer to integrate with my master remote) instead of RF and lacks voice commands.
Mobile Submission: False
I would recommend this to a friend!

This versatile electric freestanding range produces flawless cooking results with Even-Heat TRUE Convection. The unique bow-tie design and convection fan ensure the inside of the entire oven is heated to, and stays at, the perfect temperature. The cooktop features five heating surfaces, including a dedicated warming zone, allowing you to do more on your range.
What are the dimensions of the storage drawer? I'm wondering if the larger oven size makes this too small to be useful.

how does the bluetooth work?
You can link a Bluetooth device (like a phone or a tablet) running a music application (streaming or playing audio files on that device) to the A/V receiver and hear the audio come out the speakers or headphones connected to the A/V receiver.

I am connected to my Direct tv box and can hear/see it. But when I switch to am/fm, tv display goes away. I can’t listen to tv and tuner at same time? I still want the option to switch to HDMI and listen to game on receiver . Please help. Game week
Some higher-end A/V receivers have the option to mix-and-match audio and video inputs but more basic models like this one do not. Even on those that do, you usually have to dive down into a menu system to make these assignments - it isn't all that simple. And since most of the time you're likely to want to listen to the audio input from the same device as the video input, you would have to swap back and forth each time you wanted to listen to the radio or not while watching the TV.

Easily and quickly record up to 100GB of data with this LG BP50NB40 8x external USB 2.0 Blu-ray Disc rewriter that features 6x maximum BD-R and 2x BD-RE write speeds to help you rapidly complete your tasks.
I bought this drive to plug into my computer, and then plug an HDMI into my computer to display the movie on my monitor. This unit doesn't actually output the movie to my monitor. Am I doing something wrong?
This is NOT a DVD or Blu-ray "player" like you would plug into a TV. It does not decode the video or audio into a format your TV understands. It is a "reader" that can read files off a CD, DVD or Blu-ray and pass them to your computer. If your computer has the appropriate software to play the music files on a CD, it can pass it out to an amplifier or amplified speakers. If it has the appropriate software to play the video files on a DVD or Blu-ray, it can pass the video and audio via the HDMI cable you mention to your TV (and to your sound system if you have one). Windows does NOT include software to play video DVDs or Blu-rays and I don't think it has any for audio CDs. I don't know about Apple computers or PCs running Linux.
