The only way to produce 5.1 sound is to have a sound card that supports it and a speaker system that has 5 speakers and a sub-woofer. This system brilliantly produces 5.1 sound for a computer system. Easy set up. I purchased this to go with my gaming computer. I am very pleased with the sound. Granted this is not going to produce what an AVR receiver and Home Theater speakers are going to produce, but it is a pinnacle of sound for computer gaming. As a bonus it will also accept input from 5 sources. So I also have it hooked up to my work computer via the 3.5mm output. Works exceptionally well for video conferencing. You can also customize it with select speaker groups for the various inputs. The first game I tried it on was an FPS and I could hear people walking up from behind me.

I actually just returned this keyboard today. The keys are very impressive and responsive. I was concerned when looking at the display that the keyboard was to high. After 20 minutes of play I decided it was not comfortable. I tried it for another 2 hours and decided I had to return it for a different brand. My issue is the front he of keyboard sits to high off the desk for my comfort.
The keyboard is very nice and a great gaming keyboard, but it worked best if you were sitting higher up and over the keyboard.

I purchased this for my daughter to use while jogging.
She said it works very good. She went running the night I got it and said it held her phone very securely and stable
I would consider it a better option than carrying your phone in your hand while active.
I am going to get on for myself while riding bike.

As electronics get more and more complicated and how susceptible they are to conditions it give me peace of mind.
I recently had a 50" TV repaired in home by Geek Squad on the plan.
They were quick, efficient, and fixed the issue. Without this plan I would have been out an expensive TV after only 2 years.
I don't get this on everything I buy. But I buy it on a lot of electronics. I don't always use it. But without it I would have been out more money than the plans cost me.

I wanted a way to listen to music while riding bike.
Bone conduction seemed like a good choice as you can still hear what is going on around you. I had read reviews complaining about the sound quality. Granted they are not as good as good set of headphones but I was blown away by how good they are.
The batter lasts a long time. It also replaced my hearing protection radio headphones while doing quite work around the yard. Much more comfortable, especially on a warm day.
I was hesitant about getting them as I wear glasses. But they fit comfortably over my glasses.

I purchased this for my daughters Xbox 1 S and both of us are very impressed by the color and graphics quality.
Attaching the legs took mere minutes.
This is not a smart TV. It was intended for gaming. However, she streams to it from the Xbox and the graphics quality is very good.
At this price it is an exceptional option for console gaming.

The review title says it all. Spectacular monitor. I wanted a high quality G-Sync compatible monitor that could keep up with RTX graphics and this monitor did not disappoint.
The included stand assembled quite easily and I was very impressed with the range of motion on the stand.
When displaying fast motion graphics there was no discernible blur trail.
My daugher was using it on her Xbox 1 S initially and it also worked exceptionally well for streaming HD Video.

An instant photo camera was all the rage in the decades ago. While the print quality cannot match current other products it is fun for the kids and their friends. But you can burn through $20 in film in short order. Tossed aside when they got cell phones.

Why does it cost so much for toner? The price of 4 carts I could buy a new printer. ?
The toner cartridges that come with your Color Laser are much smaller in capacity.
The replacements get you thousands of pages vs hundreds

Hello - Is there a compatible wall mount for this TV that is white in color? I am having trouble finding anything online that would look good in my home. Thanks
Would you even be able to see the wall mount unless you were going out of your way to look at it? This is a big TV and should be mounted as flush as possible to the wall as a good practice.
However, BB does carry a white wall mount. But only one big enough for this TV.

Will the sounder fit below the tv if it sits on the stand?
Not certain what a sounder is.
But the bottom of it picture is about 1.2 inches above the base of the base.
I had to build a 5 inch riser for my stand to elevate it so I could put my center channel speaker in front of it.
