Wife loves it and that's good enough for me.

Bought this for my wife and she loves it. Color really pops with the 5K display. Has plenty of power for almost any task you throw at it. It's the last of the Intel based Apple iMacs which allows for easy installation of additional RAM if needed which you can't do on the new Apple silicon based iMacs.

Much better than expected

Verified Purchase:Yes
We paired the Sonos Arc with our wall mounted 75 inches TCL Series 8, TV and it really raises our TV experience to a whole new level of enjoyment. Besides the spectacular sound quality, what separates Sonos from all other sound bars is how simple it is to setup. No other manufacturer provides the ease and simplicity of setup and yet delivers such outstanding sound quality.
I really look forward to adding the Sonos Gen 3 sub woofer and Sonos One SL satellite speakers to the mix to deliver a totally immersive next level surround sound experience. The Arc is definitely worth the money and would recommend to anyone who is on the fence in considering purchasing. I can tell you that you won't suffer from experiencing any buyer remorse in your decision to get it.

Enjoy the 75-inch TCL QLED 4K UHD TV screen that showcases brilliant blacks and captivating colors. Quantum Dot technology provides a full palette of rich colors, increasing the picture's vibrancy. In addition, the TCL 8-Series TV offers mini-LED backlight display technology. This and Contrast Control Zones provide viewers with a high-degree of precision, smoothness, uniformity, brightness, and illumination, not to mention a spectacular, immersive viewing experience on the FullView edge-to-edge glass display. Four HDMI ports and one USB let you connect multiple devices.

Impressive color contrast and clarity
on December 24, 2020
Posted by: Mangino
Verified Purchase:Yes
Only had this for a short time but I'm very happy with how realistic and sharp the colors are. I recently had the TCL 6 series 75 inch which had a manufacturing screen defect and swapped that with this 8 series. This TV competes with a lot of top of the line OLED TV's at a significantly lower price point. I have it paired with the SONOS Arc sound bar and definitely recommend it or a comparable sound bar that can take advantage of Dolby Atmos surround sound via the eARC HDMI connection. The built in Roku interface is the proverbial cherry on top and makes this TV a joy to operate and watch.

TCL's 6-Series combines stunning 4K HDR and mini-LED technology in a bold, brushed metal design for a superior TV experience. Quantum Dot technology and the HDR Pro Pack with Dolby Vision combine for greater brightness and contrast, as well as a full palette of rich colors. TCL~s Contrast Control Zone technology optimizes the image across individual zones to yield striking contrast between light and dark areas. The 6-Series models~ AiPQ Engine uses machine-learning algorithms to optimize color, contrast and clarity for an unrivaled 4K HDR experience. Easy Voice Control lets you control your entertainment using just your voice. Arsenal of features including Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and Auto Game Mode (ALLM), let you enjoy the smoothest action and an optimized fast-response gaming experience on the big-screen. Plus, the Roku OS provides seamless access to thousands of streaming channels, your cable box, Blu-ray player, gaming console, and other devices without flipping through inputs or complicated menus. The super-simple remote~with about half the number of buttons on a traditional TV remote~puts you in control of your favorite entertainment.

Exceeded My Expectations
on December 11, 2020
Posted by: Mangino
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've had this TV for a only a short time but I have to say that the viewing experience so far has exceeded my expectation. The color and clarity of this TV is outstanding; and at this price point is probably one of the best TV deals out there at this time. Unfortunately for us, after the Geek Squad guys mounted the TV above our fireplace they noticed a manufacturing defect whereby a thin line was just noticeable enough to be seen that stretched across the entirely of the screen near the bottom. We ordered a replacement but this particular model just happened to be out of stock already and unavailable in any of the Best Buy stores in our area due to high demand being right in the middle of Christmas season. There was also no guarantee as to when it would be back in stock again in my area.
So I ordered the 75" 8 Series, which was available as a replacement. It's the top of the line TCL TV and has their latest Mini LED QLED technology. To sweeten the deal we got a reasonable discount on the price and the Geek Squad is now scheduled to swap our current 75" 6 Series with the new 8 Series in a few days from now.
So bottom line, in spite of the manufacturing defect, I strongly recommend considering this 6 Series 75" TV since it offers outstanding value delivering lots of bang for the buck. I was very happy with it and hope the replacement 8 Series can deliver the same outstanding value for the price point.

Best Value in Tech at the Moment
on May 21, 2020
Posted by: Mangino
Verified Purchase:Yes
For what you get at this price point it's a true bargain. A couple of weeks after purchasing for $329 Best Buy dropped the price to $249 for the entry level 7th Gen which I bought. When I inquired about the price drop they credited my account for the $80 difference matching their new lower price. Sweet! The credit almost covered the cost of the Logitech Slim Folio Case with Integrated Bluetooth Keyboard which I purchased along with my iPad.
However, knowing what I know now I would have spent an extra $30 dollars and gotten the Brydge 10.2 wireless Bluetooth keyboard. The Brydge offers a hinged keyboard design giving the ability to position the screen however you need to for optimal viewing which I can't do with the Logitech slim folio. It also has backlit keys which sadly the slim folio doesn't have. However, on the plus side the slim folio does offer superior protection for your iPad against accidental bumps, drops and rough handling but for me the hinged keyboard design of the Brydge provides a much better viewing and laptop experience which to me is more important.
In summary this 7th Gen iPad is my first Apple product ever and have to say so far after a couple of weeks of daily use I'm very impressed with it's capabilities and user experience. It's definitely faster and more robust in terms of performance than my last Gen Samsung Tab A which has almost identical screen size. You can't go wrong choosing this 7th Gen iPad at this price point and in my opinion is probably one of the best deals in tech at this time.

Own your space with Logitech Pebble M350 ~ a modern, slim, and silent portable mouse designed for your curated lifestyle. Make a statement with a slim mouse that can easily be scooped up and brought to the cafe or library. Silent clicking and scrolling means you can stay focused without disturbing those around you. And the Logitech Pebble stays powered for up to 18-months on a single AA battery so you don~t have to worry about losing power.

Great mouse for the price point. The only thing missing in my opinion is horizontal scroll capability.

The new Multi-Touch subsystem in the new iPad 9.7" and iPad Pro gives Apple Pencil striking capabilities alongside pixel perfect precision. Using incredibly sensitive pressure and tilt sensors, Apple Pencil instantly recognizes when you are pressing harder or shifting its angle. So you can vary line weight, create subtle shading, and produce a wide range of artistic effects ~ just like with a conventional pencil.

Awesome mixer that does the job
on November 30, 2019
Posted by: Mangino
Verified Purchase:Yes
A first I didn't realize these mixers are all handmade in Ohio. That sold me right there. Sturdy and strong, well built and engineered to get the job done. Also, there many attachments that can be added quickly and easily as the need arises to perform a variety of slicing, dicing and chopping tasks which adds to the overall versatility and value of the mixer.

Great Bang For The Buck
on January 8, 2019
Posted by: Mangino
from Covington, GA
This newer model of the Tab A (2018 version) is much improved over the prior Tab A I bought 2 years ago. In comparison it's noticeably lighter, the screen has better resolution and it's also faster. It has much improved sound with 4 speakers versus 2 speakers on the older model. It also charges much faster and uses the newer USB-C specification.
If you're looking for a great tablet that won't break the bank you can't go wrong with this purchase.

Comfortable With Great Sound As Expected
on January 1, 2019
Posted by: Mangino
from Covington, GA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was looking for a second pair of good headphones that would be comparable to my Bose QC15 and settled for these. I use these mainly while watching Netflix, Hulu, etc., on my TV in wired mode plugged directly into my TV. I also occasionally use them in wireless mode paired with my Pixel 3 while listening to music as I'm working around the house.
If you're looking for a premium pair of headphones you can't go wrong with these.
