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 :)
I would recommend this to a friend!

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 ;)

Will these cables work with a 8k tv

Yes they will work, but as far as 8K, the human eye cannot tell the difference between 4K and 8K - - so don't bother getting a 8K TV if one even exists in 2/21/2020

I have a 144 hz monitor and a 60hz laptop. I connected them together. My monitor is still 60hz. When I try to adjust my refresh rate it still stays 60hz. I have a Dell 27 led qhd G-Sync monitor. Online it says that hdmi 2.0 can support 144hz.

Your 60Hz laptop can only distribute 60Hz to it's HDMI port, it's the limitation of the laptop, your info about the HDMI cable is correct. - - - - You will probably have to get a desktop computer - whos graphics card can support the 144Hz HDMI output to your 144Hz monitor. - - - - - but not all desktop computers have the ability to attach another monitor so don't assume that it does.

Why when I hook my 4k fire tv stick into the media player hdmi port on the receiver it doesn't pass through 4k to my 4k tv it only passes through as 1080p. This is with me using a top notch 4k hdmi cable and the arc port on the receiver to the arc porttv.

That's the limitation of the Denon Receiver, - - - - - - > Connect your Fire TV Stick 4K to your TV's HDMI 2 port, then the Denon Receiver to the ARC HDMI 1 port on the TV - - - - - - > So now you can turn on your system in 2 ways - - - - - - - > 1) Press the Home button on the Fire TV Stick 4k - the TV and the Denon Receiver will all automatically go On. - OR - 2) Turn the TV On and the Denon Receiver will also go On automatically.

Can you pair more than the two? So if you bought two sets of these and put 1 connected to the router and the other 3 in different areas in your house for wired connectivity could the other 3 be paired to the one connected to the router?

Yes, That's exactly what I'm doing - - - - One goes to the Router and One goes to my Living Room Roku TV with Fire TV Stick, One goes to my Den Roku TV connected to the Fire TV Stick and PS3 and One goes to my BedRoom TV with Fire TV Stick
