Actually, not a thing. The phone is an excellent PHONE. Does it play stupid videos? Yup, but outside of testing that capability I would never play a stupid video on a PHONE. Why? Cuz it's a PHONE and I have a 55" UHD-HDR curved screen TV for movies. Why in the name of all that is normal would I choose to watch something on a PHONE over such a nice TV? Answer: I would not. Because I am an ADULT. ;-)
But...It can and will play a wide variety of music services including the 14,000+ songs I have a MicroSD card. But...Yeah, everyone has a big but so it's once again time for my big but...I have SiriusXM, Pandora and Amazon Music Unlimited and it handles those with ease. 32 gig of memory and a fast enough processor makes it, well...fast enough!
I have a lifetime subscription to SiriusXM on a Pioneer Mp3 SiriusXM portable player I bought from Best Buy years ago, so if I forget to bring it along or I also forgot my iPod or one of my other Digital Audio Players (DAP) I can use my PHONE. But I try not to.
Above all that it is a very good PHONE. If it were not, I would not have bought it. Why? Because I needed a new PHONE!

I am an avid film collector and have over 1,000 movies on VHS, SVHS, Laser Disc, DVD, BluRay and now UHD BluRay. This latest Ant-Man and the Wasp is well done with enough humor (Michael Pena!) and action to satisfy most anyone. I only buy films I am CERTAIN I will watch more than a couple of times and that's why I bought this one! Highly recommended!

As with many second effort films, this one is not as good as the first in the rebirth of this series. But it is still worthy my hard earned money.
I think the ending is rather lame. There. I said it. L A M E, lame. What is it Deadpool says in DP2? "That's just lazy writing". The special effects are up to the task and the actors and actresses (see...I know the women are really called ACTRESSES!) are too.
I so enjoyed the first film in this reboot that I bought this one too and I really don't have an regrets. It's good. Not great. Good. And nothing is wrong with good. I recommend it for a nice rainy day (or evening) filled with thunder and lighting and a good hard shower.

Excellent picture and wonderful sound! Throw in a good story line and very good to excellent acting based around an even better first film (Sicario) and you've got "Sicario - Day of the Soldado".
The ONLY reason I didn't give this 5 stars is it is not as good as the first film. I only purchase films I KNOW I will watch more than 50 times (LOL!) and this is one of 'em! Highly recommended!

I have another of this companies products and have also given one to my daughter as a gift. I like iced tea and I drink a lot of it. Since buying this kettle I have averaged (on this version) 3 kettles a day without a problem. I use my other one to alternate when guests are over!
It's that good. Not good enough, you say? I spent my own hard earned money on it so the truth is, it really is that good. I highly recommend this device!

I tried the excellent Insignia GoogliegIRL speakers. Nice but I hate talking to GooglieGirl. I tried Amazon's Alexa speakers. Not as nice as the Insignia GooglieGirl speakers and I don't like talking to Alexa.
I have a Denon AV Receiver I got at BB with Heos built in. Guess what?
These little speakerettes are fantastico! No need to be hoping some A.I. female voice will recognize my voice and play my music, I pick what I what and send it where I want it. No regrets! No if onlys? No buyer's remorse! No kidding. These are superdedoooper!
These are excellent speakers and I am going to be getting at least two more in the future. Highly recommend! Trust me. I know what I'm doing when I'm reviewin'!

Samsung - Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G 512GB (Unlocked) - Phantom Black
Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G is crafted so you don~t need to choose between video and photo. With a single tap, you can pull super-clear stills straight from high-resolution 8K video. Or if you~re looking to capture stunning photos, the 108MP camera feels like you~ve brought your own professional studio with you. Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G, designed to be epic in every way.
Does Samsung in general and this model in particular work well with Android Auto? My Motorola Z3 Play is awful in this regard and I am thinking of returning to Apple because of that. Thanks!

Motorola - Edge 256GB (Unlocked) 2021 - Nebula Blue
The Motorola edge is the perfect combination of a high-quality 6.8~ Max Vision display that lets you watch shows on the largest display in its class. The insanely fast 144Hz refresh rate looks super smooth. Plus, true-to-life colors with improved brightness and contrast.
Does this work with Android Auto or not? The reason i ask is that I have a Motorla Z3 Play that doesn't play well with Android Auto at ALL. I had an iPhone and may go back but want to know about this model and Android Auto. Thanks!

I am using a Sonos Arc Ultra and Era 300's with my new QM8K. Will adding these new Z100's to my system add any improvement to what I already have? Will these speakers work in conjunction with my Sonos system?
No because the TCL Z100s are made for the Dolby Atmos FlexConnect ecosystem and Sono is not. I hope this helps you!

High pass for sub out?
I believe the Marantz Model M1 has a low pass filter for the sub out and a high pass filter for the main speakers. The unit is 2.1 ready! The sub out level should be easily accessed and controled via the HEOS screen for "now playing". I hope this helps and if there is any error on my part perhaps the Marantz folks will assist.

And, be2er also just got bigger with the U8H now available in an 85~ screen size.
Can this unit be wall mounted?
Yes of course! You just need to get a VESA standard wall mount for it. Go into your local Best Buy and they will help you right there. If it is not in stock they can order it for you and have it sent to your home or to the store for pick up.

Does my Total Tech cover me returning this TV or not? I just reset it to wipe out my streaming services. I give up. Hisense has not done squat for me. I am still a fan of Best Buy, just not this TV.
Hisense sent me an email a couple of weeks ago and said they would contact me. So far not a word. This is NOT Best Buy's problem. It belongs to Hisense.

Do TV's with Tuner Type ATSC 3.0 (NextGen TV) also work with atsc 1.0 signal?
In general most standards are backwards compatible. For example, Bluetooth. All the best!

My TV has a horrid "mosaic" affect on deep blacks that cannot be adjusted away. Also, this new TV "communicates" with my Denon AVR and turns on the AVR and starts turning on media players like Blu Ray and UHD Disc players. I hate this!!! HELP!!!!!
Thank you Roseb. The TV is hooked up properly and other than you kind reply I've found nothing to alleviate my problems with an otherwise fine TV.
I am giving it back under warranty. I have long since grown weary of they way this thing turns every freaking device on unless and worse. I have asked Hisense here for help but NOooooOOoooooooo!!!!!
