This game was built with issues and sent out with issue. it is a bad sign when it requires a 15 GB patch in the first week. The game seems poorly built and not well thought out. I will play it because I paid for it but I am not enthused.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Banana clips are the best way to connect speakers to a receiver. Some are better than others. These were a little cumbersome on the first wire but got easier with experience. Nice solid connection.

I purchased this receiver open box. However, it has turned out to be an outstanding receiver. It connected easily and quickly. Using HDMI Arc is a great time saver. The sound is top notch. I would recommend this brand receiver to anyone.

OLED77CXPUA what is the actual footprint of the base that is touching the TV stand. I do not believe 47.2" is the correct answer. That seems to be the part that connects to the TV itself

Dell - S2721DGF 27" Gaming IPS QHD FreeSync and G-SYNC compatible monitor with HDR (DisplayPort, HDMI) - Accent Grey
Delve deep into your favorite games with this Dell 27 QHD gaming monitor with stunning colors and vivid visuals. Boasting a 27" screen, this Dell gaming monitor delivers swift and responsive gameplay thanks to the 165Hz refresh rate and a true 1ms response time. NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatability and AMD FreeSync Technology minimize stuttering and screen tearing for smooth graphics. Equipped with adjustable features to let you customize your gaming setup for optimum comfort and visibility
Being that this monitor has holiday return period through Jan 16, if I get a bad panel with dead pixels or noticeable "dirty screen effect", can I exchange it with Best Buy or would I have to go through Dell?
Sad to hear that. I have 2 of them and they are beautiful
You should have returned it the day you opened it. If your monitor shows signs of abuse or damage they do not have to take it back. You may want to simply contact Dell. Their customer service is the stuff of legend. At least in my experience
Did you purchase them while the holiday return period was in effect?

In the info it says you can customize the pressure needed for activation on every key. Is this actually noticeable?
Yes you can distinguish the difference when changing the actuation.
However the default is already very good and I have just left it where it was out of the box.
On the other hand if you were to go and change 3 or 4 keys and have someone else tell you which were changed I doubt if they could tell the difference.

I seek five (5) speakers with volume control pots on each speaker.
I have a client that has 5 rooms each needs a speaker. Something small and clear sounding.
It will not need alot of power because it will never be played at higher levels. It needs to be equipped with a volume control. Anyone know of a solution to this ?

The only thing I can think of is a Sonos sytem or similar. I have Sonos in my house. great sound. It can be set up so each speaker, or set up speakers can be individually controlled or all at once. However, you would adjust volume from a phone or table.

Speakers for a desk top computer?
Speakers and cords?
Best Buy has a variety of computer speakers. However, I would recommend looking at the Logitec speaker systems

Which Bose system is best for music only, not home theater
Tough question to answer. Bose makes some of the best sounding systems in the world. However, most of them are designed for home theater, or portable such as with a phone. The Bose Wave Soundtouch is designed to just deliver muic and radio. I was in just such a market last fall and settled on the Sonos system. Incredible sound and easy to use in multi room

What speakers for pre-wired family room
You would be best off going into a Magnolia store and asking. You will need the specifications of your receiver to properly match speakers to its impedance.

Is this system good to go, with receiver and all cables necessary to operate it?
The system is designed for computers. No receiver. The sub is also the amp for the 5 satellite speakers. But it does have all the cables necessary for computer set up.

How far can these speakers be apart? I’m looking for 1 system that can play the same music in different rooms on the same floor level.
This system will not cut it for that. It is actually designed for computer gaming. I would strongly suggest looking at a Sonos system.

Can I replace the receiver with one that is 4k compatible?
The system is designed for computers. The sub woofer is also the amplifier. There is no hdmi input. You would be better of with a 4k receiver and speakers designed for that
