I really like this speaker and the volume to distortion ration is pretty good. But I’m still a fan of the Harmon Kardon Onyx speakers. Yes it is big, but the sound is amazing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

And it work. Like a case should? It has a good amount of space. By not enough cushion to survive a fall. Just good enough to throw around in your bag.

I really like this pen and it is pretty accurate. I haven’t used the Surface pen so I have nothing to compare it to. But I really like it and it has a premium feel to it.

Works as advertised but really? That much money for a glorified piece of plastic with a couple USB ports and hdmi connector. I'd highly suggest waiting for the cheaper version slated to come out soon.

Just like my title says. Fun game but very easy to be done with it after an hour. Not a lot of long lasting appeal.

It works great. Just as advertised. And has enough customizable features that even a network enthusiast would have enough to tinker with. Overall, it's a nice, solidly constructed rather, but has a large footprint. Seriously, be sure you have enough table space (size of a college text book). Other than that, it works great. Highly recommend if you can drop the change.

I have been waiting. Like I waited a whole year for this size 4K tv from Samsung to price drop under $1,000. And it did! And lower then I had thought. For the value and the screen size, it is perfect. Yes, it's not a fancy OLED or a 8 or 9 series from Samsung. But it plays pictures pretty well I must say. It's bright, no light leaks, HDR, 4K, and 65 inches! It really fills the big space in our living room. I highly recommend!

The KU6300 comes with a "video adapter" which this one doesn't. What will I be missing out on if I go with the KU6290?

The 6290 does come with the splitters that attach to the back. Basically these cords give you an RCA input and Component input.

Are the USB ports video capable?

If by you mean charging your Chromecast or other USB powered HDMI devices, then yes. Other than that, the USB interface to view photos is meh. Then again, it's probably easier to buy a chromecast and just cast your photos to the screen.

Can I use the Samsung remote from my 46" for the 6300 model?

Not too sure, you might be able to if it was considered a Samsung Universal remote.

You can't be missing out on that much? Most things connect via HDMI nowadays. But what you're referring to is the AV jacks. Samsung decided to get rid of your typical RCA and Component ports and replace them with those splitters. I think it's convenient because it gets rid of all those extra plugs. BUT to answer your question, the 6290 should come with these as mine did when I bought it.
