got it in a package deal with some Phillips bulbs . Have Alexa also and Alexa has more smart home connections and I can't say control my TV via my Logitech hub with the Google home but Google definately has more personality. "Alexa, Turn off the living room lights" OK the answer for everything. Hey Google turn off the living room lights " You got it, turning off 2 living room lights"

Except for the fact I didn't pay attention to the fact that the hub wasn't Wi Fi as say the Wink ones are and had to be plugged in to the router via ethernet they work fine with many colorful themes that can be controlled by either Google home or Alexa By the way I had the Wink ones and they were a pain to connect and don't let your Wi Fi hiccup so all and all a good alternative to Wink

The new Multi-Touch subsystem in the new iPad 9.7" and iPad Pro gives Apple Pencil striking capabilities alongside pixel perfect precision. Using incredibly sensitive pressure and tilt sensors, Apple Pencil instantly recognizes when you are pressing harder or shifting its angle. So you can vary line weight, create subtle shading, and produce a wide range of artistic effects — just like with a conventional pencil.

If you are in a hurry go pick it up Best Buy's 2 day delivery is with the USPS and 2 days to the post office means 11 days. I guess you could say 1+1 equals 2 and maybe that's how they view it :-) as for the pen it works as advertised

pretty watch

Had trouble getting the bluetooth and Wi Fi connected Was getting frustrated and was going to return but eventually after rebooting everything for umpteenth time it worked. It was much easier with my Moto 360 & Zen watches. The charger is why i gave it a 4. Too easy to get nudged off and not actually charge. Gotta be the worst of them. Moto 360 is the best imho for appearance it can't be beat though. big beautiful screen Using a radar weather watch face

figuring it out

Verified Purchase:Yes
For my purposes I needed to download the complete manual on line. I am usually pretty good with electronics as most have a similar pattern of one setting or another. This unit was a little more challenging due to the set up and a myriad of sound options with the on screen menu. so after several hours setting up the sound and picture and ARC and Wi Fi I settled on settings that worked and I mostly leave it alone In fact there is a lock for system setting so someone doesn't mess with it. I live alone so not a worry although someone else wanting to watch a show on my new 4K Panasonic TV would be in for a rude awakening trying to figure it out. As for the unit itself the sound is great and the up-scaled video looks amazing so although not entirely intuitive, once set up it works fine

First Panasonic in awhile. My very first TV purchase was a Panasonic and that was about 50 years ago. So far so good after a couple of weeks I now get the 4k programming from Netflix. as I wanted to watch the Daredevil series which is also good. A couple of odd things about the set. One is the base. there is this 40 lb box that anchors it in the back and two is the fact that the screen tilts slightly back on the base. I saw a video review on Youtube and they mentioned it so I guess it is planned. I haven't looked any further on the subject. It doesn't affect anything as far as my viewing goes. As with all LED types, I find things wash out more when viewing from a side angle a little more than with Plasma. It does have the ARC setup so sound from the TV can be sent to my amplifier which also has ARC (audio return channel) set up. All in all very pleased so far.

I actually wanted the Samsung Gear S but it wasn't available so I got this Finally decided to order the S so I gave this to my son and he loves it. He switched the band for a metal one and it looks great.

Just got this yesterday and am loving it. Does anyone know if I can set up my DirecTV remote to adjust the volume? Looked at DirecTV list of Samsung devices but it's not listed yet. Thanks!

Not sure about Direct TV but my Comcast cable remote controls the volume

How is it for music playback

I went from a multi thousand dollar system so there is a drop off but generally speaking I am quite pleased with the music streaming from my S8 phone
