I bought this since I was looking a good deal all around. Not a lot of difference from the S8, though Camera and fingerprint sensor are improved. Too soon to say, but it appears if battery life is a bit better than the 8. I was close to getting the new LG, but none available.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I needed a new mount for an older TV. It has a wide width for mounting. I found less expensive ones, but they weren't wide enough. This one fits. I have a 32 in set and although it can handle larger sets, I'm not so sure how well it would do with a heavier set. But this fits the bill for me.

There are plenty of posts loving this product. Not much for me to add. Even watching non-4k makes my HD sets look like non HD pictures. So far, I'm good with sports too. I'm debating paying someone to calibrate the set..I'd do it if I knew for sure the picture would be better... not just "on spec."
BTW, I went with Sony vs LG due to reading that sports and non-4k pics would be better. I'll never truly know, but no complaints.

We had a BT bulb and app was terrible. This is a good alternative with a good app and easy to install since one doesn't have to replace a switch. I would prefer the switch option, but I don't have enough wires (Switches typically cost less) I'd buy this again without hesitation.

I got this free with the phone. It is very nice and works well. I don't know why it is priced so high (leather??) but for free, it's great. It is quiet and it does look quite nice.

Probably the top phone out there. I was close to getting the LG G6, but I said heck with it and paid the higher price. Better screen was top issue for me. I don't need speed, but I still went with the S8. Nice size and easy to handle for me.

Fitbit - Alta HR Activity Tracker + Heart Rate (Large) - Blue Gray
Monitor your fitness journey with this Fitbit Alta HR health tracker. It records your resting heart rate to help you keep an eye on heart health, and it receives notifications from paired phones, so you don't miss important calls or texts. This Fitbit Alta HR health tracker reminds you to exercise or move during the day.
Does as stated, but some software blips
Customer Rating

This is a good tracker, but as noted, can be tough to read outdoors at times. The HR works well. The sleep stages still has some bumps, but from what I read, it's mostly software and I suspect it'll get ironed out. (It misses some of the stages at times, but does track sleep well.)

What is the best option (now that plasma tv's are no longer being made) for fast action sports to avoid motion blur. I currently have 3 excellent Samsung Plasma TV's but one is about 6 years old and I'm ready to replace it. Would OLED be dissapointing?

I was wondering if glare is a problem with this television? Mostly with over head lighting since the tv angles upward.
I've not had the set all that long, but IMO, glare from the sides is the potential bigger issue. I don't see reflections from the top- though that may be the way my room is set up. It's mostly when I'm viewing way off to the side that I notice them. Of course my sliding glass door is off to the other side so that would make sense. When looking straight one +/- 20 degrees or so, it's not been an issue. If it's an issue for you with this set, IMO, it will be just as bad or worse with other sets.

Wiring
I have four wires for my thermostat. Y,G,RH,and W. Will this thermostat work with these four wires?
yes it does. They supply a connector to take care of this. It's something you have to add in at the furnace, but it's easy to do as long as you have access to the furnace. It's a connector that terminates 5 wires to the furnace with the 4 wires one has.

reaction time and video
Hi just wondering how quickly this camera turns on. For example if you're on a bus and see something as you drive buy, will it turn on right quick when you press power button? Also does the video feature stay in focus when you zoom in while recording or does it just get blurry? Thanks video very important to me
The camera can turn on very quickly. Just hit the button twice on the back of the phone, and it opens up directly with the camera app and snaps the picture.
As for video, yes it does stay in focus when one zooms in.
