This was a gift for my daughter and son-in-law. Beautiful picture, full set of newest features (Roku, UHD, HDR, local dimming, etc.). Model doesn't include the voice remote, otherwise is TCL's best TV. Unbelievable price that doesn't sacrifice anything.

Bought this to work with my Google Home. The setup was several steps, which could be outlined better in the instructions. There was no mention of how to connect to Google Home (or Amazon Alexa), only that you could. You need to (1) install an app on your phone, then (2) connect that app to the device, then (3) use the Google Home app on your phone to link to the device. Presto... it works!

I had the previous version and other than changes to the connectors, is essentially the same. It really works very well to broadcast whatever appears on your Windows computer screen to your TV. Great for presentations and large screen content, but I use it to display video from TV shows, movies, and such to the big screen from my Surface 3 tablet. Control everything from the tablet (pause, fast forward, skip, etc.). Audio does get sent to the TV as well. If Internet connection is fast enough to display a TV show or video, it will also display to your TV very well.

Set-up was very easy. Does require a computer with wireless display supported. Video does stutter now and then, but overall broadcasts well to a TV. Suggest the adapter ve in line of site for best results, not hidden behind TV.

All 3 color cartridges are included. OEM products, not off-brand. Work as you'd expect and a snap to replace.

I deleted the included software and reformatted the drives before use. Work flawlessly. Was an excellent value at $4.99 each. USB 3.0 would be faster, but I bought these for Windows 10 restores, so speed was not essential.

This Brother printer replaces a home printer that died. Love the option for duplex printing...just works. Scanning software works well, just be sure to use the Paperport software and rather than scanning from the Brother utility. Ink cartridges are a starter set, but have lasted longer than I expected.

Is the Kindle really worth the price?

$120 that seems a little much
Yes it is. Stay with the ad-supported version to save $. Ads hardly are noticable. Don't go up to the most expensive model as not worth it. I was able to get it on pre-Christmas sale for $99
