Customer Rating
5.0
Researched this model, purchased and connected. Set up was very easy. Entered Wi-Fi password and it connected to my home network easily. Next, clicked on Netflix, entered information and connected with no problem. Played an action Blu Ray, and the picture on my Pioneer Plasma was stunning. Truly a very good Blu Ray player with good features and an especially good deal buying on sale.

The case is one piece, fits my iPhone 6 perfectly. I have no trouble with volume buttons, on-off, or plugging in to charge. It is a 1 piece product though I would prefer a 2 piece unit instead. It is not bulky and does what it is supposed to do.

What's great about it: Powerful mid range
What's not so great: drab cabinet appearance
Wow, what an amazing center channel. I matched this to my B & W 684 towers since I watch a lot of blu ray dvds, and it delivers an outstanding clarity even at low volumes. But it really is striking when listening to action scenes. It is not drowned out by the action explosions, yet still gives great clarity to voice. Very happy I chose this speaker.

What's great about it: Supports back
What we found so great was the lumbar support these chairs offer. The lever to open is so easy to use. They tilt back very easily. Setting up was a breeze. Must say these chairs are for sure worth the money. We had to call the mfr and ask for both chairs to have two arms each, and they agreed and the chairs were delivered as promised with two arms each.

What's not so great: Price
Undoubtedly one of the classiest stands being offered. Has ventilated shelves and hidden wheels. Just a shame it costs so much, but was the only stand we fell in love with for style.

What's great about it: Sound clarity and bass
What's not so great: Cabinet style too bland
What I wanted in a speaker was great mid range clarity and good bass, and the 684 gives both. The dual kevlar cones make the sound awesome. I connected to a Pioneer Elite (110w) and bought AudioQuest Rocket 33 bi-wire cables, and they truly make these speakers come alive. I have a large room and they fill the room without having to turn super loud. Make sure you do the speaker balancing and you won't be disappointed.

Why Does This TV Cost So Much More?
Samsung 65" UN65HU9000FXZA
High price to pay for early adopters of 4K and curved screen designs. As far as 4K LED TVs go, I have seen the typical problems present in most LED displays. This TV is no different, but it is one of the strongest in the market when it comes to LED edge-lighting. The powerful LEDs really give the HU9000 a step up in terms of black levels and peak whites. The 65HU9000 has best in class color and contrast that create superior images with excellent light flow through. Images on screen are crisp, and refined compared to some of the other LED TVs out there. You will pay for color quality and curved screens, which I don't like. Off angle problem viewing.

Undersized picture
How do I get the whole picture with no 3 inch black area all around?
Check setup menu and be sure picture size is set to 16 x 9 because it sounds like the setting is for 4 x 3. Also, if you have a cable box the same information applies as in the TV settings.

Which is newest model and better quality, Sony 55" 4K: model XBR 55X850B or XBR 55X800B
Biggest difference is the 55x850B is 3D capable, the other is not. Features otherwise mostly the same. Best picture is subjective, you need to look at both and judge what you "see" is best.

I need to Know which wire or cable i need to hook a cell phoneor laptop to a flat screen tv
What kind of wire or cable do I need for hooking up a cell phone or laptop computer to a flat screen tv?
If your laptop has HDMI out, then a basic HDMI cable. To connect phone you need a combo cable, mini HDMI to regular HDMI if the tv is capable of interpreting that cell phone signal.

My new 50 inch TV only has a 36" picture
My old analog tv was a 36".Im guessing I need to reset something?Please help
Most new televisions have a picture setting when you do the setup. If you only have a 36" picture, quite possibly your setting is at 4 x 3, instead of being at 16 x 9. Also, check your cable box setting for picture size to either auto fill or 16 x 9 either of which should take care of your issue.

what is the refresh rate mean on vizo tv's
Refresh rate is how fast the TV video processor can refresh the incoming signal which is being converted from one kind of signal to a type of signal the TV video processor can display. The faster the quality of the video processing, the smoother the picture appears, especially in fast motion scenes. Numbers can lie, but what you see with you eyes in fast motion is what you should rely on, not mfrs. numbers.
