Wall mounted this beauty in my bedroom. My other TV had a glossy finish that heavily reflected light from the window above my bed. The best buy TV guy recommended this TV as it has a matte screen that will help with glares. And boy was he right. Sure the glare isn't 100% eliminated, but it is by far way better than it was before. I no longer have to keep closing the blinds in the day just to watch some TV.
The picture quality is wonderful. I use an xbox one x to view 4k hdr content and it looks very smooth and clean.

I bought this tablet for my young niece. I didn't feel comfortable with her playing with my pricier phone or other tablets. This is simple as it gets for her to play her games and watch videos. I connected this tablet to my home NAS drive so she can watch spongebob videos whenever she wants. If it breaks, then it breaks. It is not pricey and I fine if she does break it as she isn't breaking one of my other gadgets. She loves the thing. She is happy and I am happy,

I paired these with my Note 10+ and they sound pretty darn good. The range on them is decent where I can walk about 20-30 feet away without much degradation. One thing that I noticed though is sometimes if I have my phone in my right or left pocket, the sound will skip. When this happens I will remove my phone, put it in front of me, then when the sound stops skipping, I'll put the phone back in my pocket. Sometimes this works, something it doesn't. Most of the time, it doesn't even skip at all in the first place when my phone is In my pocket. I don't understand what Is going on, but I have found my own way to remedy the situation.
I rarely talk on the phone and don't use the Bluetooth option to talk. If anything, by habit, I disable Bluetooth and just hold the phone to my ear. I have tried it out chatting with people and for the most part, they can hear me clearly. Still though they'll say, "what" on the other end and I will speak louder. Since I don't talk on my phone often, I can overlook this intermittent bad Bluetooth call quality.

I bought a few rolls of these for my dolby atmos system install. My receiver is located in the back of my room making for about 40ft runs to my left, center, and right speakers. There is no issues with sound at all. The wire is very strong as the sheathing is thick af that great protects the copper wire inside. I terminated the ends to my receiver with banana plugs. Connected these were a cinch and tugging on them they wouldn't budge. For being Magnolia grade and at the discount they are when I got them, I highly recommend scooping these up when they're on sale.

I use this mouse exclusively with my surface pro. And sometimes I'll pop it into a desktop if I'm not vibing with the default mouse. It feels nice in the hand. It is basic and just has a left click, right click, and center wheel click. One thing I wish it had was a more taught tension in the scroll wheel. Based on others mice I have used, this scroll wheel is a bit looser than them all. But that is just something I got used to. If you need a simple, mobile, and budget friendly mouse on the go, then I would recommend this one.

With the narration of Sir David Attenborough and a soundtrack by Hans Zimmer, the BBC really knocked it out of the park with Blue Planet 2. You want to push your TV to its limits and see what a true 4K HDR content looks like, then absolutely get this. Not only is it a treat for the eyes and ears, but it is also educational and lets us learn about sea creatures, and the impacts humans are having on their habitats. Virtually anyone will like this documentary. I have watched it with my parents, friends, cousins, and nieces and nephews and everyone loves the film. This is a definite purchase to add to your media collection. Check out Planet Earth 2 as it is just as wondrous.

I scooped these up in store for $150 for the pair. These Yamaha's are the left front, right front, surround right, and surround left in my 5.1.4 setup. I was looking at pricier sonance's, but ultimately went with these as the reviews on best buy were exemplary. And holy heck do these sound spectacular! The sound they put out at their price is very surprising. I painted them almost the same brown as my wall and they look wonderful. I highly recommend these if you want great sound at a great price.

Listen to the songs and movies you enjoy with this Sonance LCR speaker. A 5W to 125W range ensures that the system has the power to make every sound seem realistic. A rubber surround around the two textured polypropylene cones in this Sonance LCR speakers woofers prevent rattling even when the bass is booming.
 
Pricey, but well worth it.

Spending almost $377 bones on one speaker made me cringe. Especially since my left, right, and rears (Yamaha's), and 4 in-ceiling's (sonance) were $75 each. However the best buy theater guru informed me that the center channel speaker would not be a speaker to skimp on. After some back and forth I bit the bullet and ordered this thing. I recently finished my 5.1.4 setup and dang does it sound amazing. The clarity of voices from this sonance center channel is amazing. I'm very happy with my purchase and now want to replace all my Yamaha's with all sonance's Lol xD

I bought these to replace some polks in my living rolm. The price is usually $600 for a pair but every now and then it drops to $150. The home theater guy at best buy highly recommended these. And holy heck are these some amazing speakers! Their bass is epic and they sound amazing. I had to go back to best buy and purchase 5 more pairs to replace all my polks in my home. I recently installed a 5.1.4 Dolby Atmos system and these things do not disappoint. If you are looking for great in-ceiling speakers at a great price, then scoop these up when they're marked down to $150.

It is a quiet mouse? or can you hear the clicking noise

It is quiet. You cannot hear the click noise at all. The trade off though is the wheel feels looser than other mice. Regardless, I like it.

The specs indicate I need a 8.25 cutout dimension. Can I somehow install them if I have 8.5 cutout?

Yes. The lip around the edge gives you some leeway to cover a bit of a bigger hole. And once the magnetic cover goes on, it adds like another 1/4" to the diameter.

what would be a good center speaker (for voice) to use with these in a 5.2 surround system?

I have a 5.1.4 system and use the Mag6r's in the ceiling. I used the sonance visual performance 6-1/2" 2-way in-wall speaker for my center channel speaker. And holy crap does it sound amazing. The best buy theater guru informed me the center channel would not be a speaker to skimp on. It is pricey, but well worth it.

Can these be installed on the patio and garage?

Garage yes, patio...that is iffy. They're not technically outdoor speakers, but I would feel confident if this was installed in an outdoor ceiling (screened porch or sun room) where they would be protected 100% from precipitation. If it's just under an eave, then no way.
