What's great about it: Picture quality, price, smart features, strong wifi signal.
What's not so great: Nada
Great Picture, works nice with our 32" Samsung TV.
Purchased for my kid's playroom. Mainly to stream Netflix and play their DVDs/BlueRays.
I like that the remote also controls the Samsung TV. My 6 year old can turn on netflix and watch movies without the need for us to setup everything and change the movie when bored.
Would buy again and recommend. No 3D content, but I didn't need it anyways.
This product has... Great DVD upconversion, Useful Internet-enabled features, Good connection options, Easy to use controls
About me... Budget Conscious, Casual movie watcher, Parent with movie watching kids, Love to stream movies
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Picture Quality, Good Sound for small TV.
What's not so great: Stand is flimsy.
Purchased this TV for a great price and a week later the price dropped. I called bestbuy and they refunded the difference very quickly and easily.
I purchased this to go up on the small corner shelf in my basement bar. It fit great on a very small shelf with limited space.
Pros: Samsung interface, quality picture, impressive sound for such a small TV.
Cons: Stand is very flimsy, not really an issue, but it seems so cheaply made that it would break easy. However, how many times are you really going to be in a situation where a lot of stress is being put on it?
Would buy again, so fare it does the job excellently.
This product has... Easy to set up, Great value and features for the price, Right number of connections, Easy to use remote control

What's great about it: Picture Quality, Smart Features, Speed of Processor.
What's not so great: Hand Gestures and Voice command are gimmicky. TV tilts backwards.
I did a lot of research on this TV before I purchased it. I was looking for a TV to fit my built-in cabinet in my basement home theater. Because of this I had only a few options on Screen Size and models. I could have gone with the 65" model, but opted for this one because I couldn't justify the large difference in price for 5" of viewing space. The design of the stand and the small bezel are what allowed me to fit this TV into the cabinet and maximize space.
Pros: Picture quality is great!!! That is/was the most important part of my research in finding a new TV. I won't get into all the specifics on how to set up the TV picture settings because if you google the TV model number you will find all kinds of articles that will give you settings that you will be very happy with. Having the TV calibrated is a joke IMHO. You will do fine using the settings others share for free after they professionally calibrated their same TV. However, if you really think it's worth it, go ahead and pay for it. The blacks on this TV are awesome and the picture quality amazing. Be sure to turn off Auto Motion Feature as it make the picture look terrible, like a soap opera. I cannot enough about the picture quality.
Smart features are really nice, the interface is well done and easy to navigate with the Smart remote. Just swipe on it like you do a smart phone to navigate.
This TV works great with my receiver and cable box. Really like that it can control volume on the receiver from one remote. HDMI port 3 has audio passthrough which has worked perfect so I had no need to run an optical cable separate. Everything goes to my receiver and I can get 5.1 surround even when watching NETFLIX.

Cons: Really just two cons IMO other than the price of the TV! First, the gestures and voice command features are "dumb" if you ask me. The kids and I played around with them for a bit, but after a few hours I disabled them because they take more time to execute than worth. You can do everything in a second from the remote, the gestures are too time consuming. Second, this TV tilts backwards on the stand. I noticed this because my cabinet is slightly raised from the viewing position and I was getting glare from ceiling can lights in the basement. I took the TV down, reinstalled the stand thinking I missed something the first time, nope it tilts/leans backward fairly considerably. I did some research and found some pics of it that also showed it having a substantial tilt. I had to shim the back of the stand to get the screen to be perfectly vertical. Optimal viewing angle would be downward for a raised TV, but that would only be allowable with a wall mounted tilting bracket.
To summarize, great TV, a bit pricey, but awesome picture quality. I would buy again and I recommend it to anyone who asks.

ASUS - 2-in-1 15.6" 4K UHD Touch-Screen Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M - 2TB HDD + 512GB SSD - Chocolate black aluminum hairline with dark copper
Enjoy work or play time with this Asus 2-in-1 notebook. It has a brilliant 4K UHD screen, NVIDIA GeForce graphics card and Intel Core i7 processor, ensuring it's ready for your favorite games. The 360-degree swivel hinge on this Asus 2-in-1 notebook lets you use it as a laptop, tablet or hands-free viewer when in tent mode.
I recently got the Asus Q534UX ,do we need to install any additional drivers to improve the display, performance because i see external applications very small in my laptop, please suggest what should i do, Thanks
When you refer to external applications are you using a connected external monitor?
If so, that is a windows issue and not the laptop.
Windows 10 does not handle proper scaling with an external monitor and the laptop running at 4K.
I highly recommend that you run just external monitors with the laptop display disabled or just the laptop display.

At least 2 reviews say the keyboard does not disable itself property when converted to tablet mode or monitor (keys-down) mode. Is this a universal problem, or only on some copies? Has Asus addressed it, possibly with a software patch?
I do not have this issue.

This laptop has a thunderbolt 3 port, does it support an external GPU dock?
Yes it does and I highly recommend the Plugable USB-C Dock as it runs my three monitors perfectly.
Hope this helps!
