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.

does this come with a built in amp or reciver like the other logitech computer speakers?, (z623)
The amplifier is part of the subwoofer. You computer plugs into the sub and the speakers come out of the sub

Looking for a speaker system to be hooked up to a TV to be used in the Dining Room at a Nursing Home. Don't need anything over the top. Would this system work well for that?
I would suggest a Sonos system for the nursing home. it can be controlled from a phone.

Can these only be hooked up to an IPhone via Bluetooth?
The system does not have blue tooth. I know it says iPod supported but I see nothing in the documentation. You would probably have to use a cable.

I would not recommend it for that use. It is intended for computer gaming where the speakers are in close proximity. You would not get much performance over 5 feet away

does this set really not include any of the speakers? under the description it says 0.
The system is only speakers. It comes with one sub that connects to your computer and it in turn powers the 5 speakers.

Can this system be connected to a gaming computer
This speaker system is designed for gaming computers.
Best option is if you have 6 channel direct (3 x 3.5 mm) on your computer.
Though for some reason BB has them listed as home theater.
My new gaming computer came with 6 channel audio and I did a lot of searching for speaker systems and this is pretty much the only one I found designed for computer gaming.
It sounds amazing. (not full on AVR home theater amazing). The first game I tested it on was an FPS and I could hear people walking behind me.

Can I hook these speakers up to my Denon AVR- S740H.
They are designed for the system as a package. You Denon AVR may be too powerful for the speakers at higher levels. 4 ohms.

Is this system easy to hook up to a TV, is there a web-site I could go to see how before I purchase
Not designed to hook up to a TV. Designed for computers.
However, you can hook it up to Digital Coax, Digital Optical, RCA (which most new TV's will not have), or 3.5 mm headphone jack.
There are are only 5 wires and connector cables. Instructions printed in the manual are all you should need.
