Aesthetically pleasing
Easy to set up
Nice construcion
Mediocre sound
This is actually a very balanced set with the sub not boomy or over powering. Unfortunately the sound levels are very low. This system does not get very loud. It does not have a projected sound.
there is no doubt the vocals are coming from the speaker...you never get that sound stage presence....but then again this is just a sound bar; but my old sound bar sounded better and had better projection and volume..at a fraction of the price.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Was down to Samsung or Sony on this and I picked the Bravia for the combination of price/performance/aesthetic.
Don't have a lot of 4 k reference since programming is limited but this is noticeably more vivid than the old LED panel I had.

Using my iPad for sales calls is useful but the need for paper didn't disappear.
This folio is exactly what I wanted but the construction wasn't very thought out.
The orientation is counter intuitive.
The openings for the power button and the charger hole are on the same side of the folio.
There isn't a iPad version made that has this design.
You must put the power button where it can be accessed and by doing so the speaker opening allows access to the charging port and the charger opening allowing access to the speaker.
Cutting a hole for the power button allow for better use but the closing clasp is still on the wrong side so you end up spinning and flipping all the time to get the orientation right.

What's great about it: Small footprint
What's not so great: Highly Reflective display is distracting.
This is a smaller version of the S2440L that has the same high reflective display. While not an issue when on it is a huge distraction when dark or between screen refreshs.
If you like to have a mirror handy but not on your desk this could be a great double use.
Resolution is lacking but for the price point this is still a good monitor for the format.

What's great about it: Vertical View
What's not so great: Automated software not Windows 8.1 compatible
Monitor has excellent display and adequate inputs.
The extra static height was a concern but has actually turned out to be something I prefer.
It would help if the stand was even a 1/2" taller as currently if you want to rotate the screen you must also tilt the screen to gain clearance of the base.
Not a huge deal but I usually have to move my keyboard and mouse in the process.
I downloaded the automated rotation software and it completely locked up my laptop. Now I just use the hot key functions to rotate quickly.
This monitor takes some getting used to only because it's different.
Not all websites support the format but those that do have a dramatically improved presence in vertical view.
I would highly recommend this for internet browsing and the easy rotation keeps it excel friendly.

Can this model be used without a laptop, using a blue-ray wifi in it's place?

Is this model compatible with a Blu-ray wifi player? Can Blu-ray dvd's be shown on this model? What about internet connection using a Blu-ray player on a wireless network?
This should be able to connect without issue to any HDMI device.
Monitor populates as "Digital Television" when installed.
