The screen is the best yet for my wife and it was easily set up and use. This is a high quality television and the one she used prior to this was an excellent 3D setup with a fast processor and high refresh rates.
But this one? Is vastly superior. My thanks to my local Best Buy in Mira Mesa, CA!

Unlike the Dell I purchased along with this Asus, the Asus flat out works great!
The keycaps have not lost their ID markers, the touchpad works flawlessly and overall this is the finest laptop I have owned from Best Buy to date! Highly recommended?
YES!!!! It is fast, runs cool, runs quiet and does everything I need without fault!
And id I mention that the alphanumeric markings on the keyboard are still there? Unlike my new Dell reviewed elsewhere they are! And the touchpad works! My Dell doesn't work with any degree of consistency but this ASUS is, again, FLAWLESS!
I have zero problems and zero regrets with this excellent, quality built laptop! Thank you Best Buy and ASUS!

Other than a weird " mosaic" look to some black areas on the screen the picture is great. But..
I absolutely HATE that this TV with my Denon AVR-X4300H. My previous TV didn't have the Denon turn on automatically when I turned on the TV and then drive me NUTSO by trying to upset me (and it does!) by going through and turning on every source connected but never the one I want which is usually nothing at all.
I HATE that and I know it's the new TV because the previous one didn't do that. Hisense? Help!
I have unplugged all sources to stop this but then when I want to watch a UHD Disc I have to get back there and plug it back in. I am handicapped and this really sucks. I've looked and cannot find why this TV does this so I am hoping Hisense and make some sense of this and tell me where to turn it OFF!!!!
Again, I absolutely HATE this "feature" of turning on media sources and being a handicapped senior I am about to give up and throw this piece in the trash!
H E L P. Please?

I have HEOS equipment throughout my home and uses this particular HEOS Link along with my vintage Sony Receiver to supply music from my Pandora, SiriusXM, Amazaon Music Unlimited UHD and more to my garage music system.
This device is great! It takes any stereo with RCA inputs and turns it into a modern streaming stereo!
I have had HEOS products (all bought at Best Buy) for several years now and I can say without hesitation that HEOS and Denon/Marantz make the finest and easiest multi-room home music system there is!
I may have to get one more of these for a vintage console stereo that I am working on.
As I said, I have used Denon HEOS equipment for several years now and have purchased it all from Best Buy and give many HEOS speakers as presents to family and friends because in my estimation, HEOS is THE BEST!

I got these for my daughter and she says they are excellente'! The folks at the San Diego BB (Mira Mesa Blvd.) were very helpful in my choosing these AirPods as I was unsure which version my daughter had described to me but they were able to help me choose the right ones!
These AirPods work great with her iPhone and the charging case does its job perfectly. She told me she highly recommends these to anyone with an iPhone because of quality of construction and sound reproduction along with ease of use

I bought this for my Sister-In-Law and she says it is FANTASTIC!
It does EXACTLY what she needs and wants. Nothing more and nothing less. It is fast (clocked a speednet download of 289 Mbps, plays both music and movies (in FHD!) easily and has yet to "buffer" either.
They have their Pandora, Amazon Music and SiriusXM accounts on there along with the HEOS application for their Denon HEOS speakers and their Denon AVR-750S (all bought at Best Buy!) and can easily access these functions and devices throughout their home.
The battery has averages 12 hours of use so far and they often just close the lid and leave it on for quick(er) access.
This Chromebook is just want the needed and it also does everything the want it to do. Highly recommended?

This Media Player is SUPERB! The only thing better than this is how well the installation was done by Best Buy.
There was a bit of difficulty fitting it in my Mustang but the Best Buy Install Tech, Dylan did an excellent job. The only "problem" was with my OEM Satellite antenna was not hooked up and instead the one that came with the new SiriusXM tuner I also bought at Best Buy was used.
I contacted BB and Dylan is going to remedy that for me soon and I am grateful for the superb installation he did on this unit!
It is nice to be able to play a CD when the mood strikes me and this unit works superbly with my iPhone 14 and Apple CarPlay. I have a physical handicap and the front and rear cameras that are connected to this really help me to park my car and again, I have Dylan to thank for that.
Highly recommended? Yes!

I bought this watch to replace a Withings that burned a watch shaped "tattoo" into my wrist. I am also handicapable and sometimes prone to falling and this watch will call for help if I happen to knock myself out or otherwise cannot get up.
The battery life is awful but I knew that going in. The watch itself is great as are the features.

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.

This Sony BDP-S6700 Blu-ray player with 4K upscaling has built-in super Wi-Fi through MIMO. This lets you stream live from online services. Built-in Bluetooth and SongPal Link stream movies and music or connect your devices through HDMI, coaxial output, USB or Ethernet. This Sony Blu-ray player with 4K upscaling also offers child lock and parental controls.
 

I’m getting an error message stating that the BluRay and 3D BluRay discs I’m using are not compatible. I confirmed that they are Region A so could the issue be they I’m using a regular HDMI cable?

This is not a 3D capable player so it will not work on 3D discs. While there are bandwidth concerns for some 4K cables, I don't think this is a problem with Blu Ray discs. Of course I could be wrong and I have experienced problems with some Blu Ray and standard DVD where the player identifies the disc as unreadable and classifies it as a "CD-ROM". This upsets me no end as these discs worked fine in the past. If you wish to try a cable that is rated higher then you could purchase one meant for 4K data transfer rates (and NO! A fancy cable with really pretty connectors and the like is not needed, just the bandwidth transfer specs are) and see if it works but as this is a Blu Ray player that upscales to a faux 4K, that may not do a thing for you. I hope this helps.

Can I use a regular HDMI cable with this unit?

I don't see why not, so yes! I have heard and bought cables with different ratings but this is a Blu Ray player that can "upscale" (think "Faroudja line doubling") to 4K. My brother reports no problems so far with his and he doesn't have any special cables that I am aware of. And yes, he would tell me. So then. This is a great player and should have no problems working with a standard HDMI cable. I hope this helps!

I already have XM Radio, do I need to buy a new receiver?

You may have to have BB hook up your XM Tuner (if possible) to the unit. If that cannot be done and you want to use that feature you can purchase an XM Tuner from BB and have it connected to the device and then have SiriusXM switch your account over to the new tuner's I.D.

I have this Kenwood in my Mustang and I had them hook the XM roof antenna up with a pigtail to my portable SiriusXM player's cradle (connected to a spare input) and BAZINGA! It works great. I can also use my streaming account via my iPhone if I so choose but out n the middle of the Arizona desert I don't always have a 4G signal to stream music but I always have my SiriusXM satellite signal.

Is this radio compatible with an IPhone XR? Also meaning, that I don't want to have to use an USB port to connect my phone. Thanks, any info will be GREATLY appreciated.

This particular unit does not have Bluetooth Android Auto/Apple CarPlay capabilities. you will have to upgrade to a different model, otherwise it works absolutely flawlessly for me with the Blootoof hooked up and the Apple cable pllugged into the USB-A port. Flawlessly.

Yes! It works GREAT with my new iPhone SE and I had Android prior to that and Android Auto stunk with the two different phones I tried but CarPlay works flawlessly for me with this Kenwood and I would tell you otherwise. Like Superman said, I never lie.

At last... I am soooooooooooooooooo happy with my stereo now that I have the Applie iPhone SE and CarPlay!
