Home Theater Consultation

We had a horrible experience with our home theater consultation. So horrible that I don't even know where to start. It took almost a week to get it scheduled and then he came out and was there about 10 minutes. He made a few notes. We told him what projector we were getting. This was a Friday and we were told that it would probably be done by Tuesday of the following week. Finally by Saturday of the next week, I called because it had been 8 days and I had not heard anything. I called and they said, maybe we emailed it to the wrong address but then I got it an hour later. Literally nothing in the body of the email, just listing the product name, the sku, and then the price. Maybe I expected more than that. I also would have expected the dvd player suggestion, but it was just speakers and screen. The total cost for speakers and screen with the proposed best buy install prices was $3,700.
We went to get the items at best buy one week later. We loaded up the cart and we asked the service associate one question since the system was so wireless. Speakers suggested were Sonos. We were trying to decide on the $250 remote that was on the list or seeing if the app you download would provide what we needed and we were a little confused because we seemed too wireless. We started talking to the sales associate and find out Sonos is optical and the projector is not. We were going to need to have satellite, gaming, and dvd inputs in this and if it would work, we would have to go with a $300 switch that would convert the optical to digital and have enough inputs for the system.
Apparently our in home consultant overlooked this. We even looked at possibly a different projector but there were very few projectors that had optical as an option.
So, in the end, we went with a receiver and built our sound system with separate speakers. The only thing off the consultation we bought was the screen and a projector mount. Very dissatisfied, very. Not only did we not get a good service, we spent 2 hours in best buy the first time when we had our cart loaded up and then had to put the stuff back and then went to a different best buy and bought a different sound system, but that was another 2 hours of them trying to see if the Sonos system would work with projector and what it would take. We were highly dissatisfied.
I would give zero stars if I could. We got better results doing research on the internet and reading reviews from people and them building their systems. Save your money and hours of time and do not get this service.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We got this on sale for 49.99. First wall mount I had ever bought. In hindsight, I should have looked closer because I really would rather have one that could move off the wall. This can only be angled. We had issues with how close it mounts to getting it plugged in behind the tv. Part of that was our fault based on where plug in was and where studs were in the wall. We ended up having to drill two an extra two holes in the wall. From a mount standpoint, I think you are better off getting the ones that can come off the wall more and angle but they are much more expensive. If you need a close mount to the wall, this product is reasonable cost wise and easy to install.

I bought this tv for my parents to upgrade their projection tv. This tv was very easy to step up and the remote and menu are very user friendly. The picture and sound quality are great, it's easy to use with Netflix and you can switch inputs very easy. Great tv.

What's great about it: Thin and Sleek
What's not so great: No fastner to hold it shut
Overall, I am happy with this purchase. I didn't want a bulky cover that I would cause it to be too thick. This is very thin and still has the hard plastic brackets that the tablet fits into. I just wish it had something that made it fasten on the outside so it's not possible that if it was dropped the cover could fly open, thus exposing the tablet itself. Overall, I have had no problems with it and it provides my needed level of protection. However, if a kid used the tablet, this would not provide enough protection for the tablet.
