I now have xbox one support in VR!
on February 26, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
Xbox controllers are commonly a prefered input device for virtual reality, but we already have enough wires so this is a very welcome accessory from Microsoft. As a PC gamer, I'm not sure I'll use the controller a lot otherwise so the value is limited to VR for me, but the impact there is huge. I almost want to dock it a star due to the size of the dongle (it's big), but they provide a break-out cable to help with that so I'll be forgiving.

Low-cost and does what it should

There's not much to say about a passive device like this other than it works as expected, doesn't have any issues related to manufacturing and it's low-cost compared to many other retail options (like Apple).

Dead-simple and does what it says

You cannot find an easier way to get an image from your Windows computer or tablet to a television. I wouldn't try to game on it due to the frame-rate and latency, but for nearly every other application it's great. In addition to super-simple presentation setup, it has the benefit of letting me put what I want on a hotel TV when Chromecast isn't an option (due to AP isolation on hotel networks).

Very bright, but also gets dim and good color

I don't claim Hue is THE best RGB lighting out there, but it has its benefits and if you decide to dive in, these strips are a must have. I purchased these so I could integrate lighting behind my Sony 65" Bravia UHD set with my "Watch TV" scene. This strip was exactly what I wanted. In particular, the cables are very generous and well thought out in terms of where you want length, power and the lights.

what is difference in motion rate between 120 & 240
To the eye, not really a lot. Once you move from 24fps (film) to 60fps, there is a HUGE pop in perceived motion. The jump to 120 from 24/30 (actually 23.97/24.97 and what most content is broadcast at), is even more significant. Thanks to MUCH research in VR the last few years, we know that 90fps is where the brain is willing to believe motion is real (24 is actually just the least we need to see motion and not flicker) so anything beyond is really just marketing gimmick to 99.99% of the population (and the other 0.01% are likely fooling themselves). In fact, most sets use a technique called strobing for anything over 120Hz.
The other side of the coin is that the added frames are interpolated (fake; created by analyzing adjacent frames) and they aren't always what you'd hope for. When they're wrong, they're VERY wrong and the only way to reduce the error is to sample more frames. To do this, instead of showing you a frame, the TV must hold onto it, receive a 2nd (or more), analyze them, THEN display the 1st, the interpolated frame (or frames), then the 2nd. This adds latency that you might notice even with just software interfaces and SURELY if you're a gamer.
Some folks just don't like the effect after a life of watching 24p content.
