The sound quality from this speaker is absolutely great. Can't believe the bass that comes from this unit. The sounds is full and fills the area. Battery life has been great, lasted 6 hours straight and still not done. Syncing was simple and works great. Definitely recommended!!

This router was simple to set up and so far is working great. I replaced another netgear router that had been running for about 7 years. My download speeds over wifi are now 95-98% of my wired speed. Set up was extremely simple and the netgear genie app is great for monitoring your network. I've got my directv, a DVD player, 3 laptops, 3 phones, an iPad, an Xbox, and a PS4 all connected and no issues with any traffic. Overall I'd say a great upgrade.

The only thing stopping this from being a five star review is HP's website itself. When I purchased the printer and went to install it, installing was very simple. Plugged it into my home network, my computer recognized and installed the printer drivers. But I was not able to scan with the device. So I went to the website looking for help, and it said to install the software on the disk that come with the printer. So I put the disk in, but it would not run the software because it could not install the printer on my network (which was already done). To make a long story short, it took a good bit more searching to find out that there was an app on the windows 8 app store for scanning that worked just fine. Once I downloaded that all was well. so if they fix the driver and management software install this would be a great machine!

 NBA Live 14 - PRE-OWNED - Xbox One
NBA Live 14 - PRE-OWNED - Xbox One
The frantic squeaking of sneakers on the hardwood and the thunderous roar of the cheering crowd have faded into the background. Your focus is so intense that you swear you can hear every beat of your heart, feel every bead of sweat drip down your face and smell the rubber of the ball in your hands. The seconds tick by in slow motion as you pass the ball to your teammate, without looking because you're confident that he'll be exactly where you need him. You see the opening in the defenders positioning and know that it will be gone within seconds, so you slide into the sweet spot, call for the ball and put your hands out. The ball has barely landed in your hands before there's feet of air between your sneakers and the court. The net looms up before you and it's a simple matter, really, to lay the ball over the rim. The buzzer sounds before your feet have hit the ground, but you know that those two points were enough. Victory is yours.Live the basketball experience in jaw-dropping authenticity with NBA Live 14 — the next generation of basketball gaming. Designed to harness the amazing power of the Xbox One, this game delivers realistic, emotional and connected gameplay, along with four times the texture resolution and high-fidelity animations that showcase every detail of each player and arena's appearance. Powered by EA SPORTS Ignite technology, NBA Live 14 features players who move, think and behave like real athletes in dynamic environments, so you can get to know your team, develop a playing method and achieve victory on the court in a game that blurs the lines between the real and virtual worlds. With the innovative bounceTek feature, you have the freedom to develop your own signature dribbling style, like Rubio's wrap-around or Irving's hesitation dribble, thanks to authentic ball physics that provide truly organic control. CourtQ helps the game mirror reality even further by powering each in-game player based on 70 statistics and tendencies of the real-life player — and since every athlete is constantly evolving and improving, NBA Live 14 downloads fresh data within an hour of each real-time NBA game. Even more innovative new features, such as Human Intelligence, True Player Motion and Live World, with updated content and challenges on a daily basis fundamentally change the way basketball games are played. Welcome to the future of sports gaming.
 
Great graphics, but computer team mates are weak

What's great about it: graphics
What's not so great: computer teammates are horrible
I have not been a fan of basketball games for some time and so having been away for awhile, thought I'd try one out. This reminds me of why I am not a fan. Part of your player ranking is based on "working with team" but the AI that is running the team mates is horrible. Players stand there and dribble the ball while the shot clock runs out even though you are down points. You push the button to call for a pass but a split second before you do, the computer decides to finally pass to you, so what happens, you get the ball and immediately pass it back to the guy who standing still letting the play clock run out. when the computer brings you in from a time out and then inbounds the ball to, it puts in the far backcourt so you get a backcourt violation and there is no time from the time you get control to run up and avoid it. Overall gameplay is decent, but still way too many drawbacks for the casual fan to enjoy. If you want to win games, just forget about team play and plan on scoring 50 or 60 points per game yourself and everything works out.

Keep the action going with the Xbox One Play & Charge Kit. Recharge while you play or afterwards, even when your Xbox is in standby. The long-lasting rechargeable battery fully charges in under 4 hours. Say goodbye to disposable batteries and having to swap them out in the middle of a game.

What's not so great: Cord could be just a tad bit longer
Love the battery life on the new play and charge adapter. The Xbox 360 version would have conked out on me twice while still showing 3 bars on the new one.

What's great about it: Graphics and processing speed
What's not so great: Game load time
The latest XBOX system, a great jump on graphics of the old system and when playing a game, the processing speed is amazing, it renders the higher rez graphics flawlessly.
Now the bad news, when you first put in a game, it loads it to the disk so it can run faster and have all that higher processing speed and this takes a long time. So for a new game, plan on sitting there watching it for an hour or so before you can actually play.

What's great about it: a couple of new on-line game modes and graphics are awesome
What's not so great: You can only tell the storry so many times.
Graphics of the new game were off the charts, and there were a couple of new on-line game modes that were very interesting as well. But the rest of the game is pretty much just COD.

What's great about it: The picture quality and even the sound quality were suprisingly good.
What's not so great: Nothing
I stepped up from a 29 in visio to this 40 inch and the difference is incredible. The picture quality is awesome and the sound quality is pretty good for a flat screen as well. I don't have it connected to the internet, but it does come with some apps and features but I don't know much about them as that is not something I usually look for.

What's great about it: Easy set up and installation
What's not so great: Speed not quite what was advertised but still good
Overall, the Netgear brand has always been good to me. I wouldn't say I am a professional in networking but I have purchased 3 or 4 netgear items over the last decade and this router lives up to the tradition. The router was incredibly easy to install with very clear instructions and once it was hooked to my modem, set up was incredibly simple as the system guided me right through the process. After I was up and running on my laptop and my family's laptops I took to hooking up some other gadgets that had been waiting for a great wireless connection like my Directv wireless connection system (for watching on demand stuff). There is a big blue button on the side of the router that allows certain types of devices to connect themselves automatically! Pure Genius! and worked like a charm. Overall great router, my house is about 1600 SQ ft on the main floor and I get pretty good coverage all over even though the router is sitting in one corner of the house. The transmission speed is not quite the massive number they advertise, but I still get 12-15 MPS on average and that is plenty for everything that I am doing, even xbox on-line gaming. if you are looking for fast and easy, this is it!

Just bought a samsung 40inch hdtv. what cable goes from the TV into the wall & is their a speical wall jack needed?

You can use a regular coax cable, but you will still need your cable box to decode the channels, I don't believe there is a built in tuner, especially for any premium channels.
