No muss, no fuss. Brought my DigiLand DL8006 in when it wouldn't turn on and they gave me a new one when they couldn't get it to even charge.

Insignia™ - 12' 4K Ultra HD HDMI Cable - White
Enjoy high-quality video on screens throughout your room with help from this 12-foot Insignia HDMI cable. The fully shielded cord holds up to daily wear and tear without sacrificing functionality.
Great cable for 4k/60 HDR and 4k/60 SDR
Customer Rating

I bought 4 of these as a "Deal of the Day", so I got a better price on them than you'd get from a certain internet retailer known for their inexpensive cables. At the regular price, I'd give them 4 stars because of markup.
Anyway, these perform well with my Apple TV 4K (HDR), my LG UP875 4K Blu-Ray player (HDR), my living room PC (HDR from a Radeon RX580), and my AirTV Player (SDR). Zero glitches with 4K/60 HDR, 4K/24 HDR, 4K/60 SDR, with every color mode I could throw at my TV.
Catch them on sale is my biggest recommendation; the regular price is a little high, even at 12 foot. Also, keep in mind these are thick cables that aren't as flexible as what you're probably used to; high-speed cables are either thicker or have specialized chips in them - sometimes both - to help with higher bandwidth signals, especially outside of the 6 foot range.

Usually, you buy the Insignia brand and expect a mediocre product, as shortcuts are taken and price is considered before quality. Not so with this Smart Speaker; Best Buy's contract manufacturer has figured out how to make it inexpensive and be a high-quality product. I have other Google Assistant speakers in my home and while they're good, this one is honestly better in many respects.
It was purchased under the guise of being an alarm clock and a Google Assistant speaker for the bedroom, with a focus more on the fact I picked up for a few bucks more than a regular alarm clock than anything else. So imagine my surprise when I connected my iPhone via Bluetooth and experienced excellent bass and treble response, especially for what I paid for the speaker. The sound quality isn't as good as a dedicated mid-range BT speaker or a high-end speaker with Google Assistant or Alexa in it, but it's actually a step up from two speakers I own that directly compete with this one.
Setup is super easy with these speakers, just like with any other Google Speaker. You'll need your iPhone or Android device with the Google Home app installed to get it going, Once set up and connected to WiFi, you'll be able to say "Hey Google" and have it do pretty much anything you want a smart speaker to do; the only thing 3rd party Assistant speakers don't do that the actual Google Home speakers do is make phone calls, but chances are you won't miss that feature.
Audio quality is good from pretty much any source. I tested with Bluetooth and Pandora, and both were crystal clear. You can also use Google Play Music, YouTube Music, Spotify, and Deezer (some services require a subscription). Chromecast Audio is also built in, so it can be a target for Chromecast Audio-compatible apps. It's only when you get to the upper limits of the device's volume level that you get audio distortion.
Other nice features are a display on the front of the unit that shows a clock, outdoor temperature, volume level, and even the outside temperature; USB port for charging your phone or other device at night; touch controls for those times when you can't say "Hey Google, mute the music"; and a pleasant, modern aesthetic to the device's design. It also has dual-band WiFi connectivity to connect to your network with.
If there's a drawback to this speaker, it's that it uses a wall wart instead of an internal power supply. That's not really even a con though, that's me nitpicking.
All in all, the Insignia Voice Smart Speaker is a terrific value for what it is. I'd recommend it over most of the major brands, unless you need a water-resistant speaker or want something that will give you a hi-fi experience, in which case there are other options. But for a speaker that will sit by your nightstand, in your kitchen, in your bathroom, or somewhere else that a small speaker that responds to your voice makes sense, this is perfect for the job.

where is the micro phone? can it be used for a call center?
If you're doing call center work from home, these would work with your computer or phone as long as it has a single 3.5mm jack for both the ear pieces and the mic; most recent desktops and nearly every laptop made in the last 3 years has this sort of headset jack.

The Bose TV Speaker is a small soundbar that clarifies speech and improves overall TV sound. Inside there are two full-range drivers angled to deliver wide, spatial sound, while the center tweeter specifically focuses on clarifying speech. And built-in Dolby decoding enhances the audio capabilities of your TV Speaker to deliver a more realistic and satisfying listening experience. Designed with simplicity in mind, a single connection to your TV has you up and running in no time. This connection can be either an optical audio cable (included) or an HDMI cable (sold separately). At just over 2″ (5 cm) tall, this TV Speaker is small enough to fit just about anywhere. Place it in front of your TV or mount it to the wall. Plus small LED lights on the front turn on and/or change color when certain features are enabled or when the volume is adjusted. The Bose TV Speaker also has HDMI-CEC, which allows the TV and soundbar to communicate when connected by an HDMI cable. So when you turn the TV on, the soundbar will automatically turn on too, and you can even continue using your current TV remote to control the volume of the soundbar. However, the Bose TV Speaker also has its own remote. On it, you can pair your Bluetooth device to wirelessly stream your favorite music or podcasts, enable Dialogue Mode to further elevate center vocals, or add a bass boost for some extra depth. And the Bose TV Speaker is Roku TV Ready certified. Meaning, it’s designed to work seamlessly with a Roku TV. When connected to a Roku TV via an HDMI cable, you’ll enjoy smooth, automatic setup, easy access to the TV Speaker sound settings in the Roku TV on-screen menu, and compatibility with the Roku TV remote. If you’re looking for even more bass or just want to expand your system, you can add a subwoofer for more theater-quality home theater sound. The Bose TV Speaker requires a wired connection and is compatible with the Bose Bass Module 500 or 700 (Bose Bass Module Connection Cable sold separately).
Do you need a special cable?
No. The TV Speaker connects to your TV (or other device) via HDMI cable using HDMI's ARC technology, optical cable which is included in the package, or an analog audio cable such as an 1/8th inch to 1/8th inch AUX cable or an 1/8th inch to RCA L/R cable.
HDMI and analog cables are not included in the package.

Insignia™ - Multidirectional Indoor HDTV Antenna - White
Only @ Best Buy Bring a huge array of entertainment into your home with this Insignia™ NS-ANT715 Multidirectional Indoor Antenna, which allows you to receive VHF and UHF signals on your HDTV and enjoy broadcasts in crystal-clear 720p or 1080i resolution.
I bought a Insignia Tv 50 inch,my question is why can't I get CBS channels on it,do I have to have a certain type of antenna and I bought it from you guys. .
Reception depends on distance from the channel's broadcast antenna. There's a website and an app called AntennaWeb.org that will show you exactly where the broadcaster's antenna is and what kind of antenna you need to receive that channel.
In the meantime, if that broadcaster has an app for Roku, Apple TV, Android TV, FireTV, or your smart TV's platform, you can at least watch the local news. LoCast might be available in your area as well.

Is this a standard sized keyboard?
For the most part, yes. The 6 keys above the arrow keys are a slightly different layout, but the keys are the same size you'd find on most any normal 101/104 key keyboard.

Will this keyboard combo work w/the 2017 MacBook Air
Yes, but you will absolutely need a USB-C to USB-A dongle for the adapter that comes in the package.
You'd be far better off to get a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse instead, because of fewer things to deal with.
