This is a great TV! I had been looking to replace my older Samsung HDTV with a new 4K to match up with my sound bar. After looking around and comparing a lot of different ones It came down to a Sony X900 series or the Samsung MU8000 series. By the time I got around to buying it the MU9000 series had come out and the price on sale was the same. The specs were a little better for the color space also.
I really like the new small remote that also controls my sound bar and Blu-Ray player. The on screen interface is fantastic. Quick and easy to use even if you don't read the instructions. Quick and easy to setup but for the best experience you will need a Samsung account. Also if you have a Samsung phone or other device you can transfer the settings for usernames / passwords and networking over to the TV.
Connections are all handled from a small external box you can hide behind everything else or in a drawer somewhere. It's much better than making all of the connections on the monitor itself. On the box there are 4 HDMI high speed 2.2 ports, one with ARC for a sound bar. 2 USB 2.0 ports, digital optical out and an external RF antenna port.
Connections on the monitor are: 1 USB 2.0, 100Mb/s Network connection, power and the connector to the breakout box with the HDMI ports.
The picture is fantastic! I can't really say a lot about it as it's pretty subjective but with the up conversion, watching an old 1960s SD black and white or color show looked better than watching the same thing on DVD with no artifacts or blocking. It was kind of strange actually.
One BIG surprise I had was the TV guide feature that actually worked for off the air channels from my antenna. Everything was listed!. There is also a feature where you can schedule the TV to change sources and channels to tune in a show when it's scheduled to come on.
With a USB plugged in you can also time shift the live TV you are watching while it's on. So if you tune into a show and want to rewind a little bit to catch something you missed, you can do that.
And if you live anywhere except the USA or Canada you can record anything off the air. That is awesome and almost makes me want to move to Mexico. :) Not really. Buy this you will not regret it.

Looks like Best buy finally figured out that no one wants to pay hundreds of dollars for an HDMI cable. This is not a cheap quality cable either. It's the perfect length and the connectors are well assembled and strong. It's a high speed cable and stands up well with the work I've got it doing. It's the connection between my 4K UHD Blu-Ray and Samsung MU9000. No data problems so far that I can see.

Power your MacBook or MacBook Pro with this adapter that features LED indicator lights to let you know the charge status and a magnetic DC connector that disconnects under strain to protect the power cable.

This just your normal Apple power supply with the older style magnetic connector. As OEM as you can get. The one thing I really don't like about it is the price. $80 is way to much for what you get and being Apple there really isn't any other choice.

I just got this rocket fish hdmi cord and it fits in the back of my sony tv but not my dish box.
It sounds like there is probably a problem with the dish box. It's possible you had a bad connector on the cable though. Since this is a year old you have probably sorted it all out by now though. But just in case someone else runs across this question I will say that the connectors on both ends should be the same. It's a standard size and shape.

Please help me and I thank you. I purchased a SONY TV, KD55X720R and sony 4k Ultra Ble-Ray Disc Player USPX800, both to be delivered and installed friday, 11/3. Is Rocketfish OK or is SKY which reads HCDP 2.2 better? Big price difference.
Go with this Rocketfish cable. It's 2.2 compliant, though it doesn't say so on the box or on the site. Pretty much if it says it's high speed or supports HDR or UHD you are good to go. I just bought this yesterday and just posted a review. The cable is well made and the connectors are very sturdy. I work in the video industry and generally use no name generic cables that are fine. :) The extra cost of the SKY cables is just profit and a marketing strategy that says 'People who don't know will buy the more expensive version based on a perceived difference in quality.'

Power your electronic devices when you're traveling with these travel power adapters that are compatible with the power voltage of various countries around the world.
Will this work in the UAE and Bahrain?
It should if you use the proper adaptors.
