I purchase this OEM filter instead of the other brands - to help avoid any issues in the future. The fridge is expensive and so figure this is cheap insurance instead of saving a few dollars on an off brand filter. i would rather buy a more expensive filter than a new fridge because the water lines fowl up or similar. We have very mineral heavy water and so this is an issue in the South West. This is my third filter of this brand and all have worked without issue. We consume alot of water and so this must work the first time.

It was between Samsung, Sony and LG. I went LG because i have always had good luck with LG TVs lasting and of good quality. I bought a 50" and a 55" LG. Both work incredibly well. When i first ran through the initial setup on the first TV, i knew i made the correct choice. The interface is friendly, intuitive and the remote control is the best (mouse pointer) out there. The TV setups anticipates the things you have plugged in or the WiFi signals around the TV. The picture quality is fantastic without eye strain in normal or low light viewing. I watch a lot of YouTube and this TV is a good interface into the YT app. i also got the LG sound bar which makes the music from YouTube that much better. I highly recommend the WiFi enabled (smart) LG TVs to help future proof yourself (vs non-smart models). The interfaces are speedy and not the old difficult to navigate menus - they all just work well with no lag. I plan to buy one more 50 or 55" inch and it will be another LG, no doubt. Best Buy itself was a great place to shop and pick up the units in the store. 5 stars all around!

It is a basic surge protector. i don't think one needs to get too fancy with the surge protector so this one works just fine. i do appreciate the all black color so it blends in and you don't notice the spaghetti of wires in back of the TV console, No complaints - and the it should serve us well for years to come. i do have other surge protectors already but the Best Buy sales rep surmised it is best to replace these after about 5 years of usage, so figured it is cheap insurance given the cost of the TVs they power.

I bought a 50" and a 55" WiFI enabled LG tvs. Both work incredibly well. I watch a lot of YouTube and this TV is a good interface into the YT app. i also got the LG sound bar which makes the music from YouTube that much better. The osound bar also helps with normal TV watching - that much more interesting. The setup was plug and play - no issues what so ever. One tweak in the TV's sound config menu (only 3 options to choose from, so your going to pick correctly) and the sound bar cam alive. Its a set it and forget it kind of thing, unless you are into playing with the preset sound modes, which i am not. It has its own remote control but the LG TV remote is really all you need to control power on/off and volume.

Remote Control Compatability

Looking to buy this unit. Plan to use optical output from my cable box into the sound bar.
Didn't see any other option for HDMI?

Will my regular TV Remote(Cable Remove) control sound levels on the sound bar. If yes, how do I program it?

Didn'y
I have a 50" LG WiFi enabled smart LED TV. i have the LG sound bar as well. I have Direct TV and thus use the remote controls for this. the sound bar is connected via optical cable to the TV and not the cable box. When i push the power button on my Direct TV remote, the TV turns on and so do does the sound bar. I did not need to do or configure anything special via the TV or sound bar to make this happen; meaning having the Direct TV cable remote control the on/off and volume of the TV and soundbar in unison. I suspect that the sound bar simply detects when there is an optical signal present and turns on based on this. So if the TV goes on (and it is configured to use the optical out port), then it should turn on and off with the TV. In the TV's menu, there is an option for sound. Within this sound menu is an option to turn on the optical-out feature. I did this and i can now control the volume of the sound bar with either the TV's remote, the Direct TV's remote, or the sound bar's remote. But i just stick with the Direct TV remote since this controls the channel changing. Hope that helps.
