If you are looking for a cheap unlocked phone that has the majority of the features you require from a smart phone this is a great option. If you are the type of person that doesn't need a fancy gimmick to get you to buy a phone and you are needing an unlocked phone to replace or augment a existing phone look no further. FYI Motorolla G5plus and G6 are same chip in phone, but newer phone that replaces this model has a better screen, more ram and camera.

This unit is great if you need to add full functionality to an older TV set that doesn't have any form of streaming capability. I have a modern 4k set and needed something to watch DVD/Blu-ray's on my TV...all of which look fantastic! I also use this to read movies & music off of a USB San-disk memory stick. Starts up fast and haven't had a problem. Up conversion looks good! I don't use it for the streaming services (netflix/hulu/etc) but it seems to go through the startup and access fairly quickly when using them apps. Haven't used the streaming PlayStation service but this unit works with that if you need it. Simple remote to control in dark (would be better if lit up or glowinthedark painted. Very simple operation. Would buy again.

I have a Gigabyte Motherboard for a Core 2 E8400 processor that I needed DDR3 ram. This is the only ram I could get to work. These dims are low density meaning that they have chips on both side of the board under the gold heat sinks. Older motherboards can't recognize high density ram that the new chips can address. Newer chips are faster, lower voltage, higher density. I needed exactly what this kit had. Has been working fine since I installed them.

j5create - HDMI to VGA Video Adapter Converter with Audio - White
j5create - HDMI to VGA Video Adapter Converter with Audio - White
The HDMI to VGA Video Adapter Converter with Audio allows you to connect the HDMI output from your laptop, Desktop, Tablet, Blue ray DVD, Digital set-top box, Player, Digital camera , Video camera or Gaming console equipment to the VGA input of a monitor or projector by converting the HDMI video signal from the output device into a VGA output and separate 2-channel analog audio. The adapter supports resolutions including high definition 1080p, up to 1920x1200, which eliminates the expense of upgrading a VGA display for the sake of compatibility. The Adapter can also increase your productivity by extending your computer's desktop onto a secondary monitor, doubling available workspace.

I use this with an old VGA input projector for home movies. Great for what I use it for! Just plug it in and it works. Only negative quality that I have for it is that it cuts off part of the wide screen format to square it off for my older projector. I have not attempted to use this device with another VGA display that is wide screen by default. That may be the source of my problem. If it hadn't displayed this problem I would have given it a perfect 5 stars. Works well enough.

I know this is probably a stupid question but all of these players say they upscale to 4K for blu-ray. Do these players actually play 4K blu-ray discs as well?

No this unit just up converts everything to 4k. 4k players a two to three times as much currently.

Does this work with a Sony Bravia KDL46S2000 TV?

Short answer is yes. Your TV according to Amazon has the following connections Connections: 3 composite A/V (1 side), 2 S-Video (1 side), 2 component (Y/Pb/Pr), 1 HDMI, 1 RF Of which one is HDMI. However you only have a 720p TV so while this unit should work it will be overkill for what your TV is capable of displaying. I would also say I'm not sure if this TV works with HDCP (encryption/protocol for HD content boxes to talk with each other). That would be the real question of whether or not this will work.

are all the apps payed subscriptions? or are some free!

Some are free. For instance Crackle (sony's free movie/tv service) offers free movies and tv shows. The other typical apps like youtube are free, but the usual gang of Hulu/Netflix are paywalled.

Does the browser on this device allow you to use Google? And the can you go to websites, not apps, and watch movies online?

There is an Opera web browser that you can install from the app catalog. I haven't used it extensively, but it is there.

I have a Sony TV that does not have an HDMI input. In the Specifications section, it lists Comp. Video Outputs - 2. Per the User Manual from Sony.com for the same player on page 13 it only has HDMI, Coaxial, and LAN output. Which is true? Thank you.

No this unit does not have analog outputs. HDMI only.

What would be a replacement card for the GeForce GT230

Assuming you have an older Dell PC with an OEM (original) videocard? I would say a Geforce 750Ti would do you fine. I wouldn't put more than that in you PC based upon the power requirements for most new cards. Should work for you and use less power and run cooler in your system. You probably have a system that is five years old based upon your question and should possibly consider just replacing the whole thing.

Is this non-ECC unbuffered?

My Hp Pavilion takes 4GB memory in each slot The specs are DDR3 1333Mhz PC-3 10600 240 PIN Non-ECC memory only, unbuffered. I want to make sure this is compatible before I buy
Based upon your given specs this should work. However, this is low density ram so that may or may not effect your computers ability to utilize this ram. I would go to www.crucial.com and enter in your exact HP Pavilion model and cross reference the specifications. Not all kits are the same, but mine came with low density ram chips meaning my older motherboard could utilize it. The motherboard I have difficulty using more recent produced high density ram boards.
