"Perfect", with a catch
on January 28, 2016
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
So... I would actually classify this TV as PERFECT, at the price point it is.
At $999 (price at Best Buy, during first week of availability). You simply are not going to find a better deal for what you get.
At $999 (price at Best Buy, during first week of availability). You simply are not going to find a better deal for what you get.
This is a full blown 4k unit (not some fancy upscaling). Has all the Smart Features, and apps (Netflix, YouTube, Amazon, Skype, and more). Since I was replacing a TV on the wall, this took about 10 minutes to unbox, add the bracket, up on the wall, and hooked up.
The picture is stunning.... I have found a couple 4k sources and it is just amazing. Looking forward to the 4K Blu-Ray player later this year, and more content available. Video games are great (played Forza 6 and it was just amazing).
So why Perfect "with a catch". Two main things stopped me from classifying this perfect all the way around. The MiniConnection breakout box, and Remote Control.
First the MiniConnection:
In my setup, I already have an AV receiver in the mix, that handles all my switching. So I have a single HDMI run through the wall, with power, a Coax (OTA antenna), and a hard-line network. I had to mount this Mini-Breakout box too the wall, behind the TV. As the cable wasn't long enough to run in the wall, and it is custom, and you can't connect the HDMI without it. I would have loved to seen a single adapter, that would have maybe been 6" that would have converted a standard HDMI to the MiniConnector port, and act as HDM1 all the time.

Second the remote control:
I have a second Samsung TV in the room (right behind). The IR is bouncing off the Glass of this TV, and turning on the second one. There is no adjustment on either TV to work on a separate code base or in RF mode. I would hope that in 2016, and the price points... there would be an option on these TV's to pick at least a 2nd option for the remote. I am going to have to get creative on the 2nd TV, on how to limit the bounce effect for the IR.

You need more than one

If you try to do anything with the DJI Phantom 3, you are going to need/want more than one battery. 20 minutes just isn't enough.
Not much to say about the batteries, other than they are solid and good quality. Only reason why not 5 stars, is simply the price. It is a steep cost, when you buy 3 of them.

Easy, Simple, and As Smart

Absolutely the easiest thing to use.
Connect the Adapter to it, push the batteries down, walk away.
The hub is smart enough to charge the batteries in a proper order.
It will charge the battery with the MOST charge first, and then cycle through in order. This will allow you to get back up and flying in no time. Also allows you to charge all 4, without having to keep returning to change the connection (great for overnight charging)

This tiny system, packs a big punch. Solid quality speakers and subwoofer. Only downside, had to spend an additional $150 for the mounts, as none are included in the package.

Overall... GREAT Purchase

Selected this Onkyo unit for two main reasons: Dolby Atmos support, and had 6 HDMI inputs. So far this receiver has been very good. Two minor issues. I had some speaker wire touching one another, and during initial setup, the unit went into safety mode, but.. it didn't tell you it did. Took me a few hours to figure out. 2nd part, when calling Onkyo support.. while helpful, the information they gave me could have been easily posted on their website and manual... but wasn't. The onscreen display for "network" could be a bit better, but overall... solid

I had the Hero 3 Black, and this upgrade is just fantastic.
And as always, the camera package comes with plenty of cases and extras. The 4K video is STUNNING!!!!

Surprise: There is a Battery Included

First of all the dual charger is great. Light weight, small, and uses the same USB connector as the camera, no separate power source.
Either I didn't see it in the description the first time, or just didn't connect mentally... it is NOT just the charger in the package, an Extra Battery is included.

BIG!!! Very Big
on September 7, 2015
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
These units are large, very large. And the ability to switch them to be either a freezer or a fridge is great. We use one always as a freezer, and if we need to... we can double our freezer capacity by turning down the other and making it a fridge. TONs of space. We purchased two, and basically made ourselves a MASSIVE double wide unit. You know the doors are closed, as the nearly vacuum seal when they shut. Which is the only downside of these. If you don't have them filled very much, they are a little difficult to open.

Description; A bit mis-leading
on August 31, 2015
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
So this won't impact most people, but...
The description of the products states it has a Display Port connection.
Which it does... however, it is disabled.
Due to the inclusion of the Nvida Video card, which DOESN'T have a display port, the on-board one is disabled.
So for now, I have to pull the NVIDA 4gb card... so I can use the on-board DisplayPort... until I can identify a replacement video card.
My KVM is Mini-DisplayPort based, and you can't go from an HDMI/DVI output to a DisplayPort input (you can go the other way, the adapters are 1 directional)

Only issue we have had so far... is the "new" anti-static dryer bars.
(The ones that stick to the drum, instead of using sheets).
(The ones that stick to the drum, instead of using sheets).
Due to the shape of this drum, having ridges, we haven't been able to stick it on. So we have tried on one of the "arms" but it just came off.
So we are trying again with a brand new one, hoping it works... really don't want to go back to dryer sheets.

BUT - IT DOES NOT HAVE 3D. Luckily, this was pointed out by the salesman. He told me that he had even called Samsung to check, and there is a misprint in the specifications,

3D Ready
January 28, 2016
Per Samsung's site, it states as 3D Ready.
Which means you just need the other equipment (separate), glasses, Blu-ray player, and material source
Glasses are about $20 each.

Set up a gaming station with this LG 24-inch Full HD monitor. AMD Radeon FreeSync technology eliminates screen tearing and stuttering, letting you play AAA titles smoothly, while the IPS display with a wide viewing angle delivers bright, vivid visuals from almost any direction. This LG 24-inch Full HD monitor has an antiglare coating for minimizing reflections.
Description says it’s compatible with Windows. Is it Mac compatible ? Can’t see why it wouldn’t be. But since they don’t specify it, I would rather confirm it is before ordering
Yes it will work with a Mac. If you have an older Mac with an hdmi output, you won’t need anything. If your Mac only has usb-c outputs, you would need the matching dongle
