I think the stand should automatically come with the Echo Show 8, it just looks nice. - - - - -
I did buy this thinking and reading here on the Best Buy questions and answers that it was able to be tilted perfectly vertical or even a little more at a downward angle - - - - -
Like if it were on your nightstand and your bed was maybe lower than the nightstand. - - - - -
So, No - it does Not tilt totally vertical - I have pics to show
I still recommend it :) :) :)
I had some Best Buy Reward Points - -
So I got this for only $9.99 :)

Excellent, I will only buy Insignia TV's - that's how much I like them. - - - - I have 3 of them and they are performing very well. - - - - This 39" class is actually in my Surround Sound TV Room, it has all the hookups on the back that I need to have my Surround Sound, like: the HDMI ARC 1 and it is also WiFi enabled. - - - - The Roku part is awesome too because you can access so many Video's, Apps and any input you have like a Fire TV Stick and Antenna Over the Air TV.

I have this in my Movie Room - - - - It controls my surround sound 5.2 Speakers including Center channel and Subwoofer - - - - I recommend buying a TV with ARC because this DENON Receiver should be connected to that ARC on the TV (most new tv's in 2/20/20 now have the ARC HDMI hook-up).

I use this as my main tv and it's awesome! - - - - - All my TV's are Roku TV's because they are easy to get to the settings and all the entertainment that Roku offers. - - - - - - It has an over the air tuner meaning that you can buy a powered antenna for the inside of your house (or outside) - connect the antenna coax cable to the Roku TV and you will pick up your local channels and some are in 1080P believe it or not ;) - - - - - i have 41 channels over the air. - - - - - This is good - for example it your cable TV goes out for some reason - you can switch inputs to the Antenna input and you will have TV.

I bought 4 of these, 1 connects to my router and the other 3 go to 2 Roku TV's with 2 Fire Sticks and and my other goes to another TV just with Fire Stick - (note: all 3 of my Fire Sticks have the Ethernet adapter connected to them) but remember the Roku TV's and the Fire Stick only can receive 100 Mbps Max - so in reality for me it's "overkill" for all my devices, since this Netgear Powerline 2000 can distribute 1000Mbps Gigabit speeds to any device that can accept 1000Mbps.
On all my devices that can only accept 100Mbps, I actually tested the speeds and im receiving approx 88Mbps speeds at 75 feet away, this is very good, because I had the lower end Netgear Powerline 500 products connected before these newer Powerline 2000 and they only tested at 45 Mbps at the same distance of 75 feet. So even though it's "overkill" it's worth using these because their twice as fast ;)

LOL, I'm using this Roku Ultra 4K - - - believe or not for a 15" Flat screen 1080p HD TV, because it's the only device that has the Xfinity Stream Beta App for Comcast Xfinity X1 customers - - - yes, it is overkill but its better than paying Comcast money every month to have a TV box for a tiny 15" HD TV, that I watch only for a small amount of time. - - - I have 3 Roku TV's and this Ultra so I know how awesome they are ;)

i use a basic tracfone card , 60 minutes 90 day plan, for $ 19.99 , DO I HAVE TO GET A NEW CARD EVERY 30 DAYS ?

No, Every 90 Days (3 months). It's the best deal anywhere to maintain the service months, if you have alot of min, text and data.

I just bought the $19.99 pre paid plan for 90 days. But it is $17.99 because I got the auto refill. Just confirming this $17.99 will be charged every 90 days

Yes, you are correct, I am doing the same exact thing. - - - - - - BUT check on the Tracfone APP on your phone to see if it still says that your enrolled in the AUTO REFILL, mine still says its ok, BUT my friend's phone for some strange reason was knocked off the Auto Refill and the website have erased the previous transaction so they can't just enroll in the Auto Refill because there is NO Transaction history to "Auto Refill" to. - - - - - So they will have to re-buy the $19.99 / 90 Day Plan and activate the Auto-Refill at that point. Very Frustrating!

i have a account , but for two days i cant get in my account, i cant get my balance or add time to my phone

Yes, as of March 22, 2022, I am still having problem logging into my Account as well and if you go online hundreds of thousands of customers are having the same problem. - - - - - - It's because Tracfone has been sold to Verizon and their website techs seem to be working on their website. - - - - - - - The site was working perfectly before Verizon took over the company and it seems that they should have just left the website alone.

Does the basic Tracfone card work with a Tracfone VoLTE phone?

Yes, All cellphones will be required to be VoLTE compatible - - - - - but, whether it does or does not have VoLTE - it doesn't matter, this Tracfone card will still work.

how can i block spam calls and text on this phone

On what phone? All cellphones have a way to block calls and text, just look in the manual or online for directions. - - - - But generally: go to > Phone > Recents > look for the phone # you want to block > tap on the ( i ) Icon > there should be a Block option.

Have an unlocked iPhone SE. Can I use a prepaid 60 minute tracfone card in this phone? Need phone service for temporary travel..

I don't see why not - - - - For example: I bought an Unlocked LG G6 from BestBuy and then bought the Tracfone SIM card kit for $1.00 and picked my carrier of choice: Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile - - - - went online with Tracfone and activated the cellphone with the new SIM card I bought and it's working great. - - - - - - Although I just bought a newer Tracfone branded phone and switched over and then after a certain period of time I will be able to have this Tracfone branded cellphone unlocked by Tracfone.

How do you determine what length of cable to buy for a 50” TV that is a wall mount?

The shortest run, the better - - - you will get signal and picture quality degradation if the cable is too long - - - - - use a tape measure to figure out what length you need, never guesstimate the length.

Are these cables hdmi 2.1? If not how much are they? Also how much more would it be to have someone hang the tv on the wall?

These HDMI cables are 2.2
