If you are a coffee lover you have to try grinding your own beans. You will get a fresher brew and will taste even better. I love this one, holds a ton of beans. Got it dialed in for just over a medium grind, 2 tablespoons of coffee beans equates to a 12-14oz. Cup depending on the brewer you use. It is a little loud when on full spin but that’s to be expected.

Wow what a great upgrade from my first generation iPad! I can tell it is significantly faster, the new features added with the updated iOS are fantastic plus the ability to use the writing pen and the ability to attach to a keyboard almost makes it like a mini computer. I’m not too impressed with the battery life but my daughter has been playing some games on it which are more CPU/Memory heavy so that’s why. The color is beautiful, smooth finish and classic Apple craftsmanship. Picked up the 2nd gen pencil, case and tempered glass screen cover.

Virus security is important these days so it’s imperative to have it on your PC. This free subscription came with one of my other purchases to use as a three month trial. Works on both windows and Mac which is pretty solid.

Arrived with a broken panel and had such high hopes for my new Samsung since my old 52” Touch of Color still looks great after 10 years. Much to my dismay, I see their quality has gone downhill. Even if this TV arrived without a broken panel, the panel itself looks like a 1” think piece of plastic from a side angle, leaving a huge gap for other components in the TV for an eyesore wall mount setup. Specs look great, pics look great and website does a great pump job but after experiencing it and seeing the materials myself, I cannot recommend this TV to anyone at this price point.

I am somewhat satisfied with my purchase, the reds are a little off right out of the box and I have been configuring the multitude of settings. Ultimately I would recommend (and will be getting one myself) a professional calibration. This ensures you get the most out of your investment and the best possible picture quality.

Great tv but one problem. When I connected my cable box it would NOT pick up the local channels so I now have NO local channels. It is connected through the "antenna" input as the box does not have and HDMI port. How do I get my regular cable channels?

It might be either or but in the setting there is an option to search for the local channels and but since you have your cable box plugged into your antenna port, that could be the reason it’s not able to search for the local channels. I would recommend connecting via HDMI to get the most out of the picture and the TV if possible.

Do I need to turn off the power switch on the sub after use ? The red led light never goes off otherwise.

No, it’s a powered subwoofer with an automatic power-off feature. When the receiver it is not pushing power to it and the receiver is powered off, the Sub goes into a “standby” mode. When the receiver turns back on, it sends a power signal back to the Sub and also turns the Sub back on as well. Sometimes it takes a few seconds for the Sub to come back on from the “standby” mode, depending on how powerful your receiver is. I always leave mine on.
