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.

Stay connected with this smoke black Motorola Moto G Power cell phone. A 6.4-inch Full HD+ Max Vision display delivers stunning visuals, while a 16.0MP triple camera captures high-quality photos. The 64GB of internal storage provides ample space for your videos, images and games. This Motorola Moto G Power cell phone has a powerful rechargeable battery with TurboPower that delivers up to three days of use on a single charge.
 

I am with Verizon and looking for a new phone . Can I purchase the moto G power , for the his price 129.00 and have it activated with Verizon with my number ?

I know that Best Buy was selling this for two different prices; one with activation in the store (the lower price) and one unlocked for activation by whatever phone store the customer took it to. Since I was replacing and old phone on an existing contract, I wasn't going to be activating it in the store and ended up going for the higher priced option. That price was still better than what I would have paid at my phone store (Verizon). Your mileage may vary.

Quicken Deluxe Personal Finance helps you stay on top of bills and spending and save for the future. See your bank, credit card, investment and retirement accounts in one place, or view and pay your bills. With rich analysis you can manage your investment performance.
 

Can you manually updated the checking and investment accounts and not use the automatic updates?

You can manually enter pretty much anything you want into any of the accounts. When I write checks, for example, I enter them manually. When I later download the information for my checking account from the bank, Quicken automatically reconciles which of those sent checks have been cashed. That assumes that your description of the individual payment matches the banks description closely enough. Sometimes, they don't quite match and you end up having to delete your manually-entered record.

Prepare quick meals with this 1600W Whirlpool microwave oven. It has true convection and steam functions to preserve food's flavor as it cooks, and its 400-cfm blower with four adjustable speeds whisks unpleasant odors out of your kitchen. This 1.9 cu. ft. Whirlpool microwave oven has a light underneath to increase the visibility of your range.
 

Can I install this unit in a cabinet over my wall oven with a trim kit like my old whirlpool gold convection microwave?

I had contractors from Best Buy install it because since I've retired, I've become rather lazy about doing chores like that. However, they installed it in a manner of minutes using the trim kit that had been from our previous Whirlpool microwave oven. I am unfamiliar with the "Whirlpool Gold Convection Microwave" in specific but suspect the trim kits might be similar.

can I use the rectangular rack when using convection for baking cookies on a cookie sheet

The instructions tell you to ALWAYS use the wire rack when using the convection feature.

Further inquiry to Bonnies question ( and subsequent answer) about cookie sheets. Are you recommending we not bake cookies in the convection feature of the oven?

You can certainly try baking cookies or anything else. However, given the design of the oven where all the heat is coming in from a vent on the left side rather than evenly distributed above and/or below as in a conventional oven, I suspect that you might find cookies on the left side of the sheet might be rather more well done than those on the right side.

Get smart about audio with this Yamaha RX-V485 AV receiver. It brings home audio experience into the future with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and MusicCast technology for music streaming. Access your favorite streaming services through the included app, and integration with Amazon Alexa lets you control this Yamaha RX-V485 AV receiver with your voice.
 

will this work with 5ohm speakers ?

Possibly not. The manual describes how to set the speaker impedance setting to either 8-ohm or 6-ohm, no mention of other settings for 4-ohm, 5-ohm or other. You might want to write Yamaha directly to see if setting it to 6-ohm would be "close enough" for your 5-ohm speakers.

Enjoy convenient cooking with this 1600W over-the-range Whirlpool microwave. Its convection technology provides fast, even heating, and its steam mode lets you prepare healthy meals in a hurry. The four-speed fan of this 1.9 cu. ft. Whirlpool microwave keeps odors at bay, while its warm/hold function maintains the proper temperature until serving time.
 

How do you change the power level, every thing I read says to first press the door open button. Where’s that? Thank you but mostly power level, the hidden keys to the convection,microwave

There's a little icon with 3 horizontal stripes (which I've heard called the "hamburger" icon) to the left of the painted controls. Press that and an expanded backlit menu comes up. Using this, you can set the cooking time, press a menu option, then select the cooking power level (from 10% to 90% with the default being 100%) and then press the Start icon. You also have to use this "hamburger" icon to bring up the menu options to use the oven in convection oven mode instead of the default microwave oven mode (the two modes are separate and can't be used at the same time).

Does this unit allow you to play different music in each zone? For example: can I watch a movie in the main zone and play music via an airplay 2 device (iPhone).

Page 44 of the manual talks about sliding the Zone A/Zone B switch to Zone B, then selecting an input. Keep in mind that you cannot drive both a 5.1 channel system in Zone A in combination with a 2.0 channel system in Zone B. Using Zone B means sacrificing the surround channels from Zone A. This isn't spelled out explicitly in the manual; you have to glean it from zooming in on the diagram of the rear of the receiver on page 14.

Can this receiver work with component audio and video cable? I have an older projection television as well as an older dvd player.

This A/V receiver does NOT have component (YPbPr) video inputs. Video can only be input via higher-quality HDMI input or lower-quality composite video input. Most all newer video devices (cable boxes, satellite boxes, Blu-ray players, UHD players, media players, etc.) use only HDMI these days. Some really old devices (Wii game consoles, VCRs, etc.) use composite video and some older DVD players use composite video.
