If you life unfortunately revolves around your calendar, this watch is a necessity, not a nice-ity. All alerts, texts, emails, etc discretely shown on your watch prevents missing anything to get you through your day. Quick tasks can all be done right on the watch saving time. OLED would have been a better choice, but the cost would probably be way to high for it to be worth for most. Easy charging with the base. My only caution is that the same feeling you get when you forget your cell phone or organizer at home, is what you feel if you forget to charge this watch nightly!

Can you get the same pixels for much cheaper, yes. Can you get the same connectivity for much cheaper, yes. Can you get the same picture quality for cheaper, absolutely not! The way the picture is generated is just as important as the final resolution numbers. An analogy for this is a fast car vs a semi-truck. If you look at the numbers, they both tend to have 8 cylinder engines. Would you say they perform the same way? That is what Sony brings to table. The ability to not only put 4K worth of information on the display, but the ability to provide better color, better light, and most of all better picture from NON-4K signals. Since that is what most of us will be watching most of the time, this feature is worth the money. I'm sure one day 4K will be the standard. For now, make sure you get the best picture with what is available.

There are plenty of reviews out on this movie so anything I write is hardly new. This movie is entertaining at the very least and so much more to the right audience. For anyone truly in love with the sciences, this movie is amazing! The entire move can actually be broken down into real, plausible, or hypothetical science. In fact Kip Thorne wrote doing just that. The story is beautiful and hopefully opens people eyes as to what we should all aspire to be, explorers. This movie is

While not feature packed like it's higher model siblings, it has the critical features that you need to keep most people happy. The pass through option works great allowing TV sound with the amp off for normal viewing, and full home theater for movie/sports by simply turning the amp on. Sound is great for any size speakers and calibration is very easy thanks to the advanced self-calibration feature. If you are looking for creature comforts like bluetooth, look to those higher models. For all the basics and excellent sound, this model is perfect.

While this will extend the range of an existing wifi signal, it will set up another access point to do so. You will have to designate it specifically on your end device when further from the original router. Also, any obstruction significantly drops its range. For the money, I was expecting much more

Enhance your gaming with this ergonomically designed Microsoft Xbox 360 JR9-00011 controller that features 2.4GHz wireless technology to provide an up to 30' wireless range from your PC or Xbox 360. Vibration feedback ensures riveting gameplay.
 

How is the rechargerable battery pack recharged for the wirless controller?

It comes with a cartridge which takes 2 AA batteries. You can buy rechargeable packs for it though. I would imagine you can charge via USB then.

turntable

Obviously not an audiophile. Can I hook up a turntable to this receiver?
It depends on your record player. If it has a built in pre-amp, then you can connect the turntable to any available RCA jack input on this amp. This amplifier does not have a phono type input for connecting a turntable without a pre-amplifier.

I need a wifi extender that will reach 150 ft through 2 walls and a tree. What do you recommend?

The only answer is to try it. With wi-fi coverage, everything is subjective. Things like how thick are the walls, what are they made of, are there pipes in it, how big is the tree, etc, all contribute to the signal degradation. The stronger unit you get, the more chance you have of getting a clear signal through. Remember just as important as how far the repeater signal will reach, is how close can you get the extender to the original wireless router. If the extender does not get a perfect signal from your original router, all you are doing is extending a poor signal further. Hope this helps
