This TV is great but the black levels do not beat an oled. However, the color range is greater than on an oled. The image looks the best viewed directly from the front. It is full array but less dimming zones than the Q9; therefore, the image does not have the same degree of depth. Nevertheless, it is an excellent TV for both night and day time viewing. The Tizen operating system is also smooth and fluid.

I read multiple reviews and studied long and hard before purchasing this television. It produces an excellent black level, comparable to Oled. The image is engaging with excellent depth. The TV produces an excellent day time or night time image. Upscaling of non 4k content is very good. The TV is heavy (compared) to a non-full array or oled but outside of oled you cannot beat the image and in bright day time viewing is even better suited than oled.

From setting 5 or below the unit produces steady quiet air-flow. As you go up to 10 the noise is noticeable but air-flow is great. The unit has a clean modern look. Filters do a great job but on expensive side. Unit uses two filters, which come in one kit.

This video card provides good performance for light to mid range gaming at 1080p. Double or a little more performance than the 630 GPU built into certain Intel CPU's.

Microsoft - Classic Intellimouse - Gray
Inspired by the Microsoft Intellimouse, the Microsoft Classic Intellimouse has made modern improvements to a fan favorite. It is still wired, customizable, and has that classic look and feel, but now tracking is more precise, buttons feel more reliable, and the tail light is a distinctive, modern white.

The mouse is wired - USB. It has the classic Intellimouse design, which for most right-handed, a contour that nicely fits in your hand. The weight is typical for a wired non-gaming mouse. It has a white led underglow at the backend.

These are solid performing filters. In this box you get two HEPA filters and one large carbon odor absorbing filter. The carbon filter has to be cut down (easily cut using scissors) to the size for your unit.

These speakers provide a clear clean loud sound. There is no distortion at max volume. They have a line input. I have two paired as stereo. I use the line input on one connected to a computer and it works great.

These stands are well built. The metal plate for the speaker could have been designed a little larger, but nevertheless, it holds the speaker well. The stand is two-tone (white and silver) and will nicely fit into most modern decors.

will touch functions work on a mac

Can I use this as a touch monitor on a mac running OSX 10.8.3 without a driver? If it requires a driver, is that awful touch-base driver?
Only as a monitor but not for touch capability. Touch requires not only a touch capable monitor but also an operating system that supports touch and currently Mac OS X does not.

Will the touch feature work with a NVR?

The monitor can be used to connect with an NVR for viewing if your NVR has HDMI output. However, touch capability not only requires a touch capable monitor but an operating system that supports touch. I doubt of the system in an NVR supports touch, but you can check with the manufacturer, etc.

VESA Mounts?

Dont suppose there are VESA mount holes hidden under that bracket plate on the back are there?
The monitor can be mounted using a standard VESA mount. I cant remember if it is 75 x 75 mm or 100 x 100 mm.
