Full-size keyboard and numeric pad

Our iMac keyboard was bent and damaged and started smelling "hot" and then random keys would trigger on and off. Tried using the Apple bluetooth keyboard, but just missed the full numeric pad! Glad to have a full-size keyboard again.

It's also capable of connecting with apps, browsing the Web, and screen mirroring with smart devices over a Wi-Fi connection.

Best Flat UHD 4K TV Available
on July 20, 2015
Posted by: TnVideophile
from Franklin, TN
Verified Purchase:Yes
My outstanding Panasonic ZT60 failed and I had to replace with a current LCD display. That is a tough replacement and it took me a few tries and LOTS of research to land at the Samsung JS8500. For my theater room, the curved screens just did not work. Among the flat panel displays, I also wanted to make sure I got a full 10-bit panel, for future proof this Fall with HD Blu-ray and the extended color depth. This TV is almost the only model available, aside from the Sony 930c and 940c which are quite a bit more expensive. It has taken me quite a bit more time to work through the menus and various screen settings (compared to the Panasonic), to get the proper calibrated viewing I was hoping for. The various ways that Samsung processes the image mean that you have to really read carefully and try different settings before landing on the right image for your preferred content.
I'm not a fan of the external connection box and only use a single HDMI cable to my Yamaha receiver and the RF input (over-the-air HD is the best!). The connecter feels flimsy and easily breakable. In fact, I had to remove the TV from my Chief wall mount twice to replug the cable back in. I probably won't mess with it again, so I suppose I'll forget the inconvenience.
Love the remote and how it feels in my hand. Easy to use and comfortable. The software updates have been regular and most services are flowing well. I do have issue with their Crackle app. The overall resolution is poor on the menus and the streaming is not great and poor quality. I can switch to my Sony blu-ray player and all is sharp and clear. Both are plugged in via wired Ethernet, so I can only assume the app is just not optimized yet for the Samsung Tizen OS. Only other issue has been getting consistent HMDI ARC response. The TV often switches back to the internal speakers at startup and I have to select through a couple menus to route back to my receiver. Again, hopefully software updates will clear that up.
I look forward to trying HD Blu-ray on this very soon!

Great recording and full of energy

Verified Purchase:Yes
I had the pleasure of attending this show live and the recording absolutely captures the energy and powerful performance of the night. I realize my perspective is highly colored, but the mix from Seth Bolt (bassist) is great. Open and airy, while presenting the full sound impact of these great musicians.

Using this NAS in my home network with a Sony Blu-ray player and Apple TV, along with my Panasonic VIERA TV. It works great to serve movies and iTunes audio to the whole house. Also works great for Time Machine backup of my iMac!

Use this intelligent adapter to connect your iPhone 5 or 5s, iPod touch (5th generation), or iPod nano (7th generation) featuring the Lightning connector to many of your 30-pin accessories. The 0.2m-long cable provides extra length to connect to 30-pin accessories.

D/A converter was not great
on February 13, 2015
Posted by: TnVideophile
from Franklin, TN
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this to use with our iPod adaptor in our van. Cable construction and connectors were great on this, but the Digital to Analog converter is poor quality and we heard a lot of compression artifacts. Returned it and stuck with an analog adaptor, which used the headphone jack with better results.

Needed to re-seat my Macbook Pro heat sink. Used the thermal paste directly on the GPU and CPU. The small syringe worked great and easily distributed the right amount!

Blu-ray features lacking
on March 21, 2014
Posted by: TnVideophile
from Franklin, TN
Verified Purchase:Yes
Disney typically sets a high bar for their Blu-ray bonus features, particularly with their animated films. What a disappointment this release is! Not like the film hasn't made a billion dollars!? Why cheap out on the disc? Monsters University was WAY more loaded and even had a separate bonus features disc. This one is only two discs (Blu-ray and DVD). Regardless, the film is great and the quality is top notch for picture and sound.

Where can I confirm the specs on this TV? I need to confirm that this TV is 4k 4:4:4, 10Bit, HDMI 3.0, and 4k Blu Ray Ready?
Yes, this set along with the other SUHD Samsung curved sets are actual 10 bit displays. The only other flat displays on the market with full 10 bit and HDR are from Sony (930c and 940c).

What is the storage capacity? 4 TB, or 2 TB storage plus 2 TB mirror?
This mirror storage device has two separate hard drives. The description refers to 4 TB, but that could mean 4 TB storage w/ another 4 TB mirror drive OR it could actually mean 2 TB with the other 2 TB being the mirror portion.
It has two 2tb drives in the chassis, for a total of 4tb. These are WD Red drives, by the way, which are awesome!

can this device be backed up to a cloud backup service?
I like the local fail safe feature but can this device also be backed up to a service like carbonite?
Yes, it can be backed up to other cloud storage. Comes loaded with the apps for Amazon's cloud and one other.

Raid1 configuration
I have read other places that if a raid were to go it cannot be replaced? Is that true i would think that is the whole benifit of configuring this as raid1 so if a drive were to go bad you can hot swap it.
Yes, it will hot swap if one drive fails. Auto-copies when the new drive is initialized and you are back to full strength. Faster RAID O configuration is possible, but of course much more risky for data failure.

How much pwer does it draw when idle?
Since it is always on, I was wondering if anyone had hooked it up to a meter to determine how much energy it pulls.
I haven't done a power draw test, but it does spin the drives down when there is no network traffic, so pretty low power.
