And since I got it primarily for me, I suppose that's a good thing! She normally drinks "PIke Peak" (snob alert!) but has "settled" for this until I buy her some more of that stuff.
Sheesh! It's good coffee and I would not say so if it were not so! Trust me. I know what I'm doin' when I'm reviewin'.

...And it does it well! I bought this for use at my desk as I don't always remember to bring a mini-jack cable and the necessary mini-jack to USB-C cable so that I can plug into the radio on my desk.
I no longer want or need to hook up to that radio because... This little speaker is wonderful! It plays loud enough that I can annoy people but then, who is annoyed by Sinatra, and is still more than detailed in it's playback to hear musical nuances at low volume.
How's that for pseudo snobbery?! LOL! I highly recommend this Motorola Mod! The battery powers only the speaker (not the phone) and it lasts for several hours! I use it every single day since I bought it and again, I can highly recommend this to people I know and love and even you guys that I don't know or love, LOL!
It is that good a device. Is it "bulky" or "heavy"? Well, that depends upon whether or not you're 12" tall. If you are then yes. It is bulky and heavy. If you're taller than 12", then no. You can easily carry this unit around with you. ;-)

Look, movies are meant to make us smile. I know, I know...Some people feeeel that a movie should make you "think", should make you be "more aware". I think. I am aware. I just want to escape reality for a bit and enjoy myself.
This film does just that. It is FUN! For those that feeeel otherwise, that feeeel a movie should give you angst and make you empathetic to whatever? Go watch the classic film, "Sullivan's Travels".

The Pioneer GM-DX874 four-channel amplifier will deliver up to 150 watts RMS to each of your front and rear speakers for powerful music. Highly efficient Class D technology keeps this powerful amp running as cool as it looks, and allows for a compact chassis that fits in a lot of out of the way spaces. The frequency response of this amplifier stretches up to 50,000 Hz, for Hi-Res Audio Certified playback. Pioneer uses high-grade electronic parts and gold-plated RCA connections to ensure maximum performance. Speaker-level inputs allow you to install this amp in a factory system with no RCA connections. The amplifier switches its input mode automatically when it detects the high-level signal, eliminating the need to run a turn-on lead to your receiver or fuse box. Built-in high- and low-pass filters let you adjust the sound for your vehicle's interior, whether you're driving speakers or subs.
 

Does this amplifier make a loud "POP!" when turning the audio system off or on, or does it have relays to prevent this annoying problem. I ask because the last time I put an amp in my truck (albeit years ago), the speakers did just that.

Would anyone care to remark on how Apple CarPlay is compared to Android Auto? I have the latter and it kinda SUCKS as it often doesn't recognize the phone is plugged in or when I speak to it it will turn the radio UP LOUD and not hear me, etc? Thx!

Two questions: I heard the U8K drops the HDMI signal, especially when using an HDMI splitter. Has this been a problem for anyone? I use an HDMI splitter to hook up multiple gane consoles. Also, have people run into dirty screen effect with the U8K?

8K is not widely (if at all) available via streaming. I spoke with my son who is an avid gamer and he said it isn't much of a deal in that environment.

If you split your source you are likely to suffer signal degradation unless you insert a device too boost said signal.

Can you use an Amazon Fire Stick with this TV, even though it’s Google? Apparently the cable company I am joining says they give you an amazon fire stick. Want to be sure it works with this TV. Thanks

Yes you can. I have done so via direct input of my Fire Stick 4K to the TV or via inputting the Firestick 4K into my Denon AVR-X4300H and it works superbly!

What is the Ethernet port's maximum BPS achievable.

I have found it to be fast enough for 4K films via Disney +, Amazon and MAX. My wireless hardwired speeds regularly exceeed 700+ MPS and wired is up to 1 Gig +.

There is no buffering of film or music as I sometimes use the TV for Atmos Encoded music.

And, be2er also just got bigger with the U8H now available in an 85” screen size.
 

Is this the best tv for bright rooms?

This TV is so far excellent in bright rooms, natural or electric light matters not! Overall this is the nicest TV I have owned!

My only problem is very dark scenes that are CG generated as they appear blotchy or blocked (not from digital latency!).

An example is that I use a YouTube video of a thunderstorm over the ocean and the clouds are horribly rendered. This never happened on my 6.5 year old Samsung curved TV.

If Hisense can lend me a hand I would very much appreciate it!

But yes(!) so far in a bright room this TV shines!

I have a Xm subscription and want to buy this kit to put on my touring motorcycle and use my existing subscription. Has anyone put this kit on a bike? I have a usb plug in.

I used it on my 2006 GL1800. I put the unit and the car power adaptor in the right fairing pocket, and plugged the unit's Aux out to the Aux in that is in that fairing pocket.

I then routed the antenna out of the fairing pocket via a small channel I made in the pocket so the wire would not be pinched, and the cable was then routed under and along the lip of the saddle to the back and was placed on the rear speaker via double-sided Velcro. It worked great for years and many miles.

Hope this helps.

Can I use this in my house and does it come with me everything I need to set it up?

I have used mine this way for years. I use the SirisXM SXSD2 Portable Dock and route the antenna to where it car "see" the satellite.

The Dock has everything you need and runs on AC or D Cell batteries (you can take it outdoors).

I hope this helps!
