What's great about it: Action and story line
What's not so great: Ending, anticlimactic
Excellent movie, provided you a fan and have watched the first, not quite as action packed but it does prepare you for the third installment.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: great screen, very clear
What's not so great: camera. size
I did think I would like the 5s due to screen size, was used to using my Galaxy Note, was surprised to find how clean and clear the screen is, the key board very easy to use, surprised I like it. one thing, the camera is not as good as the Galaxy Note, the pictures are not as good, but this is my opinion
This product is... Tough/durable

What's great about it: Resolution, quality
What's not so great: Aspect ratio, no memory expansion
As always, Apple products are great. High price but great.
Some concerns though, the 4.3 aspect ration seems out of date, it really does need memory expansion port, it is a proven product but it does need a refresh. Never the less still a great table
This product is... responsive touch screen, easy to set up, lightning fast, Perfect for Business, Variety of apps available, Sharp graphics, Easy to navigate

Samsung Smart TV Not So Smart for Streaming Connections. Does ROKU Solve This Problem?

I have a Netgear Wireless N router which I am shortly upgrading to AC. My problem is my smart TV struggles to connect to the Internet so I can access my Netflix and Amazon accounts, etc... Does the ROKU solve this problem in that I can go through the ROKU player to access streaming capabilities through my wifi connection/TV where in the past I could not directly through the TV. Am I correct in saying this?
No, it sounds like the problem is your internet bandwidth, I have a Samsung and a Vizio and both stream fine, I have a Roku on my Vizio. Samsung streams thru the T.V. Just fine

Will Roku 4 stream Vudu movies?

Yes it does, I use VUDU as my main movie hub, I wish Apple TV had the VUDU app, I would get rid of my Roku 4, I've had nothing but problems, I'm on my second unit, Bestbuy was kind enough to swap the original purchased Roku

In Roku's website, Roku 4 specification shows "Up-scales 720p to 1080p HD on 1080p HD and 4K UHD TVs". What Does it mean?

Does it mean it can convert 720p video into 1080p?
Yea it does, it provides the best quality possible, but in order to watch 4K, source has to be 4K, second if you have not bought it yet, I don't recommend you do, I've had nothing but problems with my Roku 4. I'm on my second unit and I wish I could return it for a refund.

More HDMI components than HDMI inputs on TV

I have 3 components requiring HDMI inputs on my TV for best quality picture. However, my TV has only 2 inputs. Is there a splitter or an accessory that I can buy to help with this?
Yes use a splitter, I found one at Lowes of all places.

how to play videos on your iphone 6 or ipad mini on your infiniti 2014 QX56 ?

You don't need anything to play the videos on your iPhone or iPad as long as they are downloaded or you have cellular connection to stream. If you are asking how to get your audio thru your vehicles speakers, use Bluetooth connection, if you want the video to stream to the vehicles screens, best way is a custom install. Hope this helps.

After 4 to 5 months, streaming having issue

I am using this Chromecast , but after 4 to 5 months video streaming is getting stuck & could not use it.

I HAVE NOT PURCHASED FROM BESTBUY.
My original Chromecast was having issues, lost streaming of some apps, no audio, rebooting fixed it. If your TV is not powering your Chromecast just reboot. I reboot my Chromecast every 2 weeks, just takes a few minutes, disconnect power supply, wait minute and restart, have not had any issues.
