I didn't think I'd notice the difference between the old 2.4 GHz model, but this Chromecast model let's you use 5 GHz, if your system supports it, and what a better streaming experience! Also comes with an AC adapter for older TVs not equipped with a USB connection. Well worth the upgrade!

The Insignia Bluetooth earbuds are a great deal when on sale! The sound is good and the battery life is great! I like the reflective and more heavy duty wire too. My only (minor) complaint is that the earbuds are big and feel awkward when wearing a winter hat.

What's great about it: Sharp, nice refresh.
What's not so great: Juttery picture, but not TV's fault! (see review)
Got this TV to replace an aging and problematic Samsung. Easy to unpack and install. Super-easy setup for the Internet. Cool touch pad remote that allows for easier Internet navigation.
Initial trouble with lower screen flashing and juttering made me think that there was a problem with the TV. It is true 1080P with a 240 hertz refresh rate, so I kept thinking it had to do with the picture setting when watching cable. (Juttering never happened on DVD, Blu-ray, or streaming.)
My wife solved the problem - being the true tech diagnostician in the family. It was a Verizon problem: we had to change the video setting on the cable box from "native" to "1080i." This solved the problem, but is not obvious since the TV is 1080P.
Especially like that it has 3 HDMI ports! Harder and harder to find...
This product has... Useful Internet-enabled features, Easy to set up, Great value and features for the price, Right number of connections, Easy to use remote control, nice touch pad remote
