Sony - 65" Class (64.5" Diag.) - 2160p - Smart - 4K Ultra HD TV with High Dynamic Range
This Sony 65-inch 4K HDR TV is slim enough to place or mount in most areas. Android TV offers more entertainment options, and Sony's 4K processor X1 generates a wider brightness range than typical LED TVs. Use a smartphone to quickly find information and search by voice command on this Sony 65-inch 4K HDR TV.
Great picture...Bad Sound!

I'm giving this 4 stars cautiously...lately I I'm experiencing the volume going up and down intermittently. At first I thought it was the program, but I have now experienced it in too many situations for it to be a particular program. I'm finding myself raising the volume several times when watching a program. Of course, the TV is out of store warranty, so it looks like I'm stuck with a $1200+ problem. The picture. However, is exceptional!

Really pulls in the network channels. We'really cutting the cable TV cord, and this product was a step in that direction. It functions as promised even away from a window. No complaints.

This was a replacement for my mid-2009 Macbook Pro that I passed on to a granddaughter. It had slowed down considerably and frustrated me. The retina display on the new one is awesome and is easy on these old eyes. My previous Macbook Pro was a "boulder" compared to this one; it's considerably faster, thinner and lighter. I purchased a nicely priced external superdrive (which I will probably never use) and a Passport drive. I'm good to go for the next few years.

There's nothing negative to say about the mouse except it's pricey. I gave it an overall rating of four because of the price. It serves it's function; feels good in hand, is attractive, and easily connects to my MacBook Pro -- I would expect no less from a mouse with a $60+ price tag.

SanDisk - Pixtor Advanced 64GB SDXC UHS-I Memory Card
Featuring a Class 10 rating for fast data transfer, this SanDisk Pixtor Advanced SDXC memory card lets you capture 1080p, 3D or 4K video. The 64GB capacity ensures you have plenty of room for your data.

I purchased a (beautiful) Canon T3i and just at a critical moment: making a movie of my granddaughter's Xmas school play, I get an error message. Fortunately, I had my smartphone with me and was able to capture most of the program. Camera buffs told me that the SanDisk card was needed to give the camera enough memory to make movies. This card is super fast with enough space to capture movies in 1080p. I'm happy with it. Prices, class, and data amounts vary on these cards and they can be rather pricey, so do your homework.

It's a functioning, reasonably price wireless mouse. I use it for my Macbook Pro because I don't like the feel of the built-in mouse pad area on the laptop. Nothing much to say except that it works, and I like the chevron pattern. Didn't want to put up the bucks for an Apple mouse, nor did I mind losing one of the usb ports for the transmitter. Decent alternative.

I use this tripod for a Canon T3i -- relatively heavy camera. The tripod is sturdy and well-made. Price isn't too bad, about $30.

What's great about it: Serves its purpose
What's not so great: A little pricey
I use this charger in my car for my Samsung Note 3 and tablets. It will charge anything that uses a usb port. It works fine; charges or keeps electronics charged during rides, but you have to have your own usb cord. I had an 18" usb cord from another product, so no complaints on that -- just be aware that you are only getting the charger. I've seen these chargers at half the price I paid for this one, but Rocketfish items are usually more pricey, in my opinion. I was in a rush and didn't feel like surfing the web to get the same item. Also, I had award certificates, so the price didn't hurt too much. If I were to get one for my backseat passengers, however, I would purchase a less expensive car charger.

What's great about it: It's compact, no set up issues, just plug in and view programs.
What's not so great: Can't use headphones to listen privately
I have no problem with my Roku stick. I use the Roku box in my entertainment room and the stick in my guest room. For all intents and purposes, it works find. You can view Netflix, Hulu, play games, etc. I wish Roku would have made headphone usage on the stick like they did on the box. I found that feature to be useful when viewing movies at night and trying to keep from waking up the whole house. Other than that shortfall, I've experienced no issues with the stick. Keep in mind that for limited usage, such as placement in a guest room, it serves the purpose fine. If I were to purchase Roku in a higher-traffic area of the house, I would go for the Roku streaming box instead of the stick.

What's great about it: Usually kitchen items in other than black are overpriced. This red crockpot, is pretty and does the job.
What's not so great: Nothing
My condo is being decorated in black and white with red as the punch color. So, when I saw this red crock pot at Best Buy, I grabbed it. It goes great with my other red small appliances: popcorn machine, mixer, etc. Glad I found it because it was the last one on the shelf at my Best Buy. Of course, it performs the function for which it was intended -- great, slow-cooked meals. I'm throwing in a corned beef brisket tomorrow.

how far away from tv can the router be?
This actually depends on the strength of your router, but the ideal setup (as you probably know) is as close as possible. I use an extender for my 3-story home -- that way I can access the internet on the top floor or in the garage without the annoying buffering issue. Hope this helps.

Is the Roku Stick transportable?
Can my 13 yr old daughter take her Roku Stick to a friends house that has router access on a sleep over to watch Netflix on my account? Does she have to link with their router?
She has to link with their router; but all she needs is their wifi password to get onto their internet account. At that point, she should be able to access Netflix using your username and password. In other words, once she establishes internet access, it should be as if she's at home. I've do this quite often at my daughter's home using my stick and her wifi password.

roku on my Samsung
Can I use roku to get Netflix that I have on another TV..I guess my Samsung Plasma 55 is not a smart TV cause it doesn't have the icon on the menu, although I do have a Panasonic blue ray player that doesn't seem to have the software needed
If you have a Netflix account and a Roku 3, you can access Netflix on a non-smart TV. Your account is your account; that is the purpose of the Roku 3 (and streaming stick). None of my TVs are smart TVs and I get access my Netflix account on each of them using a Roku 3 on one and a Roku streaming stick on another. I don't see why this would not be the case simply because a TV is plasma vs. any other type of flatscreen.

Will the Roku stick remote work with the Roku 3 box as well?
I lost my Roku 3 remote, so I figured if I buy a Roku stick that already has a remote that the same remote will work for other roku boxes.
No -- at least mine do not. I have the stick on one TV and the Roku 3 on another. We got them mixed up one time and found out that they were not interchangeable.

DOES IT ALLOW SHOWBOX TO BE VIEWED
Not to my knowledge unless you mirror the ShowBox app from your smartphone to your TV. I use an android phone for Showbox and my MacBook Pro for Kodi (same app for Mac). If your smart TV has a way to download and configure Showbox or Kodi, then you could watch that way, but not through the streaming stick; there is no way to get the app(s) on the streaming stick through Google or Playstore. If someone has found a way to do this, please feel free to comment -- I don't see how it's possible and I have both the streaming stick and a Roku 3.

Can i use this product to use for my radar detector in my car?
I have a cobra radar i bought at best buy and just am curious on if this will work for it.
If there is a detachable usb cable on your radar detector, then yes, you can use the product to charge it. The Rocketfish product is only the portion that fits into your cigarette lighter. You need your own usb cable to charge your electronic device.

This product is only the portion that goes into your cigarette lighter outlet. YOU have to provide the usb cable that is compatible with your phone. I use this in my car to charge a Galaxy Note 3, a Galaxy 12.1 Pro Tablet, a Galaxy S4, and my granddaughter's S3. You just have to change the usb cable depending on what you're charging.
