I'm using it for a unique purpose where I have a computer hutch (armoire) wall unit and in one of the small nooks (shelf) I had an old 13" old school TV that I needed to replaced with a small 15" Flat screen HD TV, but this TV was 1" too wide to fit inside the nook (shelf). - - - I bought this awesome TV Wall Mount, although it is overkill for my 15" TV, it does what I needed it to do - - - so when I'm done with using the computer and watching this TV, I can maneuver the TV in such a way as to tuck it inside the nook shelf space to put it out of the way so I can close the whole wall unit Hutch with their two doors - - - similar to an armoire. - - - Good quality product.

I bought this Moto X4 Unlocked 32GB/3GB Ram to (Activate Later) for $149.99 (reg $349.99) to activate Tracfone on it with the “Tracfone: Keep your own smartphone Sim Kit - AT&T” for my mom. (XT1900-1)
#1) BUY THIS PHONE! – For this price, you should run out of the store like you stole something, lol. Why? Because the specs on this phone for that price is just awesome.
#2) Just for an example: I have the LG G6 and while the specs are better on paper – this Moto X4 seems better in every category. I am Jelly.
#3) My LG phone ppi = 564 , Moto X4 ppi = 424 (but the Moto looks more crisp and detailed)
My phone processor = 821 , Moto processor = 630 (but the Moto seems snappier)
#4) This is the Moto X4 “Android One” meaning that this device runs a “pure Android experience” that focuses on providing timely OS and security updates. Motorola and Google promise that this device will get Android Oreo 8.0 and with a guaranteed and fast update to Android Pie 9.0 with all the security update in between.
This is exactly what happen to me: Phone started with Android Oreo 8.1.0 OPWS 28.46-21-16 and then got 5 separate Security Patches, then got the Android Pie 9.0 then got another 4 Security Patches. I am now at the Security Patch: PPW 29.69-39-2 (April 1, 2019).
So, I went through 9 Security Updates and 1 Android OS UpGrade, so you’ll have to dedicate about 2.9 hours to this, I didn’t want to NOT do an update fearing that if I went back to the phone later to continue the rest of the updates to find out that it won’t update anymore for some reason.
NOTE: Have the phone plugged into the wall power outlet the whole time you do these updates, you will be doing a lot of restarts and boot-ups – and be patient, let the phone boot-up completely before doing another update and restart. Never rush this type of procedure.
More General Cellphone Notes:
1) Never fill up your internal hard-drive with Apps, try to have only Half filled – the phone will run faster and actually uses the empty space to run quicker.
2) Buy the highest capacity external SDHC Card you can afford to put you MP3 music and have your pictures go to the SDHC Card and not the internal hard drive.
3) If you use any widgets for example: a Weather App or Calendar App, try to only have 2 widgets running on the phone Max. Having more running, constantly drains resources and pulls too much RAM (memory).
Bottom Line: BUY THIS PHONE!
4G LTE w/VoLTE support, Display: 5.2” Full HD 1920x1080 at 424 pixels per inch, Storage: 32GB (14.36GB available), RAM memory: 3GB, Actual Size: 5.84”h x 2.89”w x .31”d, Weight: 5.75, Battery: 3,000mAh, Processor: SnapDragon 630 at 64bit, Octa Core 2.2GHz, USB Type C Fast Charge 15W, Fingerprint Scanner, DualBand WiFi: 2.4GHz and 5GHz a/b/g/n/ac, Hotspot, FM Radio, IP68 Dust/Waterproof, NFC, 2 Rear Cameras: 12MP/8MP, 1 Front Camera: 16MP w/Flash, Guaranteed Latest OS: Android Pie 9.0
fyi: Sold Out! as of July 6th 2019 - this phone is unavailable in my area as a new phone and only available to buy online as a used or unboxed item.

Connect your ISP to it, then it to your Router - does what a modem does - also, my ISP actually sent an update to the modem - in my area the down stream is blue but the up stream is green - but in time both down and up stream will be in Blue eventually.

It's the same Gen 2 Fire TV Stick with an improved Gen 2 Alexa Voice Remote that has the added Volume up/down, mute and power button for the TV only. I do wish the power was for the Fire TV Stick, but no, you put it to sleep just like before. I also notice that there is WiFi activity from the Fire TV Stick even though it's in sleep mode, kinda weird, I think it's for updates in the background.
- - - - - Overall it's a good product: * * * * * 5 stars ;)

I bought this because I wanted good specs like the harddrive space 32GB and 4GB RAM with a good processor - I was tired of waiting for an App or webpage to load and needed more memory, since all my other older phones just had only 1GB of RAM and in 2018 - that's just not enough.
There's nothing I don't like about the phone, it's great all around, and it even updated from Android 7.1 to Oreo 8.0 at initial startup.
I am using a Tracfone sim card through Verizon network and it's great.
I have just one little gripe and I bet it will be addressed in the next OS update to PIE 9.0 - but when charging the phone, when finished - the phone gives no audible indication that it's fully charged, like all my other LG phones have done, I find it quite strange, really. It does show in the notification dropdown but no audible indication - so you might be keeping it on the charger for longer than needed.
Talking about the battery: it gives me 2 days charge, with WiFi, Location, Bluetooth and Sync ON.
- - - - - I highly recommend this phone. - - - - -

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.

Denon - AVR 5.2-Ch. 4K Ultra HD and 3D Pass-Through A/V Home Theater Receiver - Black
Connect up to eight Bluetooth-enabled devices to this Denon Ultra HD AV receiver. Its included setup assistant makes it easy to configure an entire home theater system, and dual subwoofer outputs eliminate acoustical interference. The remote control and quick select buttons of this Denon Ultra HD AV receiver let you preprogram favorite audio settings. Includes HDMI 4K Ultra HD and 3D pass-through technologies for compatibility with 3D TVs, Blu-ray players and gaming consoles and 4K Ultra HD TVs.
 

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.

Convert your home electrical system to an internet network with this NETGEAR Powerline 2000. It plugs into any outlet and accepts a network connection, and it lets you access up to Gigabit wired speeds in any room. This NETGEAR Powerline 2000 includes a standard outlet, so it doesn't even keep you from accessing electricity.
 

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
