Insignia™ NS-32D312NA15 HDTV: This midsize HDTV displays movies, TV shows, video games and more, and it fits nicely in a bedroom, dorm room or small living room.
Posted by: mkfisher1
from Tennessee
Hesitant at first, due to the brand. On sale at $169.99, I hadn't intended on buying it. I went in to look for a little, cheap small TV to get me through until I could afford something better. (I am just now making the leap from a tube TV because I don't have much money) When looking at the size and specs on this - it made sense to purchase a 32". Wasn't a fan of the 720/60, but for a interim TV, which will eventually end up in the bedroom or den, I figured I could live with it. I do not have cable, OTA channels only. It was either this one or the LG 32" (Samsung did not have enough connections in the rear)
Very happy with my purchase, thus far. Not sure of longevity - some say years, others say not so long. What you read on the internet, you take with a grain of salt.
Awesome picture
Easy set up with great instruction leaflet
Multiple connections (a requirement in my book)
Multiple adjustments via menus
Great sound (even for a plain old flat screen!)
Bonus for me is that you can connect your computer/laptop to it.

If I could make only one complaint, it is that the remote changes very slowly. When you input your channel, there is a several second lag between changes. It is more effective to use the channel up and down than it is to punch in the channels manually. For me, it could be because I only get OTA HD channels (and sub channels) Not sure, but certainly not a dealbreaker.
I use this with a Mohu Leaf 30 antenna and the Vizio 2.0 Soundbar. Love it. And all for just about $250. Merry Late Christmas to me :-) Hope to get a streaming device one day. I will be really happy if I get a few years out of this TV because I certainly won't be able to afford to replace it anytime soon..

This multidirectional Mohu Leaf 30 MH-110583 indoor antenna is compatible with select HDTVs and enables 1080p output. The reversible, paintable design lets you customize the look of the antenna to complement your décor.

Love this. Use with 32" Insignia flat screen. I get the max of the OTA channels in my area. I even get two channels that aren't on the Mohu list for my area - they are over the 30 mile radius. (closer to 40)
Thin, easy to hang (included are some tacks and velcro pads) - and the BEST part - the coaxial cable is detatchable so that you can use a longer one with it instead of having to piece them together to make it longer.
Excellent choice, works better than another brand I bought previously. If you do decide on this, go to the Mohu website and put in your zip code. It will give you a list of channels you should get with each size of their antennas. Just keep in mind, you may get more like I do.

First thing - let me say I cannot believe some of the reviews I am reading here. If people are looking for perfection, they need to look to spend a ton more money. A sound bar is just that - it is not surround sound and it is not like being in the theater. However, this one is set up so that it emulates this type of sound in certain situations.
This sound bar went on sale at BB yesterday for $47.99. I had been shopping for a reasonably priced, well-working sound bar for a few weeks. I originally bought the 29" version, for which I paid over $80. When I saw this bigger size go on sale for almost half the price - I could not pass that up. The 29 inch is awesome in and of itself - but this larger one is great! More bass, better and fuller sound. I cannot find one thing to complain about (and I am really picky). I don't even have cable (I use strictly an OTA antenna) and the sound is beautiful. I look forward to listening to a movie or content besides television - I know it will be great.
In the box, all the cables you will need are included - which in itself is a bargain. Buying cables gets expensive. I have mine hooked up via optical cable. Instructions are clear and tell you exactly how to hook it up. Bluetooth enabled - my laptop and phone music and online streaming media plays wonderfully through this sound bar.
Highly recommended - especially for the price. I was not able to get one of these online before they sold out, but was able to get one at a local retailer who matched the price for me. I am so glad I was able to get one when I did.

I can't say enough good things about this tablet
on January 15, 2014
Posted by: mkfisher1

My honest review is that I just love this tablet. I tried the new iPad Mini Retina and I hated it. Took it back and got this one. I needed something with a Verizon embed, and this was one of only a couple of choices. This is last years tablet, which is okay with me. It was on sale and I purchased it at BB on New Years Day. I love the size, the speed, the functions and everything. I have heard complaints about the sound/speakers. Don't know what those people are hearing (or NOT hearing) It is AWESOME for a small device like this! And I will say this again - I put it in every review. I am a very picky consumer.
No flash for the camera, but I am told most people don't use their tablets for that. I do, but it is definitely not a dealbreaker. This will go with me everywhere I go.

Keep your Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 safe with this Digital Treasures Props 8485 folio case that features PU-leather material for protection and a magnetized seal for secure closure. The front cover folds back into an easel stand for custom use.
Posted by: mkfisher1

I ordered this for my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. It is great - very well made, pretty colors, and good materials. It is just too tight. I had the shove the tablet into it and wedge it in there. That causes the frame around the edges to be warped and will not lay flat. This allows dust and dirt to get behind it and just generally looks bad. The cover doesn't close completely and when closed, it won't lay flat. I am returning this for another brand.
This could entirely be a manufacturer defect. That does happen, and I note that two other people gave this a five star rating, so perhaps I just got a bad one. I have nothing bad to say about the cover - it just didn't work for me. This is a chance you take when you have to order online. Price was great, sorry it didn't work out!
I hate to decline a recommendation to a friend, but if they had the same tablet, I don't think I'd want them to chance having the same problem. I'm sorry :(

iPad® mini 2 has a stunning 7.9-inch Retina display with over 3.1 million pixels. It also comes with the A7 chip with 64-bit architecture, ultrafast wireless, iSight and FaceTime HD cameras, powerful apps, and up to 10 hours of battery life.1 Yet it still fits easily in one hand.
Posted by: mkfisher1
from Tennessee
Let me first say that the battery life on this thing is awesome. I took it out of the box - straight from UPS delivery - on the 17th. It had 85% charge on it. I used it until last night (played games, set it up, did social networking and took pictures), and when I plugged it in before bed, it still had 38% battery. That was roughly 2 1/2 days. Can't complain about that.
Have had an iPod touch in the past, not totally familiar with Apple products, but bought it because I wanted to do away with expensive Verizon prepaid phone (which I could barely see anymore# - and combine monthly bills by combining phone and laptop. Sorry to say I still need Charter to keep wifi #frown# but it's okay. I was paying $60 plus tax for 2G of data on Verizon prepaid smartphone. On this plan, it is a LOT less, and even though it isn't a phone, there are apps to use it as one if I choose. I can keep a cheap Verizon flip and still be below my original amount paid.
As soon as I learn how to navigate the iPad and set it up, I will like it better. The screen is awesome. I would have liked to spare the high price and get the regular mini, but I figured why by an old OS when the new one was out for $100 for more. Also the Verizon cellular embed is an extra $100, but it's okay. It is a little heavier than I thought it would be #like I said, I am unfamiliar with these products# but I got a fitting case with a cover on it and it makes it easier to hold.
Wishing it had a different type of storage, or at least easier to use, but I bought the 32G model, as you only have about 26G out of the box - once all of the pre-loaded apps use up the room that they take to operate. I will learn iCloud and transfer things off to external drive when needed. This will just take some effort on my part to learn. I'm older and don't learn as quickly.
Very happy with my purchase, and if you can afford it - I encourage you to buy it. I am an Android user, and it is quirky. I have to unlearn that system and learn this one. Android is less expensive, but I could not get a good tablet with Verizon, so I had to go with the iPad. So glad that Best Buy has financing...it made it possible for me to buy this for myself.
Many thanks to BB for their excellent customer service and lightning fast delivery. I did pay for overnight #$21) and it was here in just about 24 hours - even here at the very busy Christmas season. Very appreciated!

What's great about it: Love the size, battery life, latest iOS, mobile phone and laptop all rolled into one

I'm a really picky consumer, but I've yet to find something to complain about with this television. I went back and forth into the store several times before finally settling on this model. I like Samsung, but know that LG is a reputable brand so I decided to give it a whirl. The Samsung that I saw - with the features I wanted - just never came down to a price I could afford. The picture is everything I want in a television (except for the really expensive tvs with higher technology).
The clarity and smoothness were the clinchers for me. The sound is excellent for a large flat-screen. I can only turn it up to about 7-8 and it fills my living room. I can only imagine how it will sound when I buy a speaker system. I am not a fan of the big screen tvs, but have to get with the times - so I dove in and bought one.
I've only had it a week, but at this point - I absolutely love it and look forward to enjoying it for a long time. I highly recommend others to at least give it a try.

I used this as my main phone until I was able to purchase a smartphone with another carrier. Texting is a pain because it doesn't have a QWERTY keyboard, but for a simple phone - I rate it right up there above any other. I can't even complain about the camera....for a flip phone with no flash, I think it does an awesome job. Cannot beat the battery life on this thing, it is a durable phone, the sound quality is excellent on it, and even though I am currently with another carrier for my main phone, in my opinion, you cannot beat Verizon for anything. If only they would come out with a better calling plan for prepaid, I'd switch back in a minute. With this phone, I keep it now for emergencies or in the rare event that towers on other carriers are acting up. I opt for the $1.99 per day plan - so I only pay when I use it, and when I don't - the money stays in my account. With the special that BB has now, the phone is only $9.99 - and you get $10 free airtime. How can you beat a deal like that??

Shopping around for weeks for a VM phone, I had the EVO V 4g, EVO One V, and the Samsung Reverb to choose from. EVO One V - which is consistently rated higher to the Reverb (not by much though) - has been unavailable here for quite some time - didn't want it shipped. I had the EVO 3D previously with Sprint and loved it - so I opted for the EVO V 4G. What a pain it was. SMS errors, radio interference errors, dropped calls, no calls, messages not coming through, network dropping off, had to update constantly just to make the phone work.
I did hours of research, all which led me to NO permanent fixes at this time. Everything I tried only worked temporarily. Tech savvy people online could only offer the option of messing with the OS and I wasn't interested. I need to get my calls and messages and cannot take chances.
Took it back to BB and traded for the Samsung Galaxy. I love it. As some have mentioned, touch screen is very sensitive, but as long as I keep the phone locked, it should be okay. This has only been out about 3 months, I hope they come out with more durable cases soon. Too bad there is no Otterbox for it :( The best one, the Defender, has layers and the built in screen cover - which will not peel off like regular screen covers do.
Keyboard is a pain, as some have mentioned. I will decide later if I want to d/l a better one. Not at all a deal breaker. This camera has a flash and it can edit pictures, which I love. BIG clock on the front - great for someone older like me - and also there are different size fonts to choose from - as well as different font types. Not a lot of bloatware installed, which is great. I've heard that you cannot save apps to the SD card (which is not included# but I don't use tons of them anyway. This phone will do for now, until I decide on something else.
I happen to love Virgin Mobile. Every time I've ever had to call them, they are polite, helpful and ALWAYS solve my problem. I don't discriminate against people because they are in other countries. I accept them as they are. I've never had any language barrier or pronunciation issues with any of the CSRs. Don't always listen to what other people say....those with gripes are always the loudest. Sprint isn't perfect, but in as long as I've had Sprint and Virgin Mobile phones and service #I had both at one time previously), I've only had a handful of issues, which were usually just flukes. Can't beat the price for what I need the phone for. No more contracts for me - EVER.
I recommend this phone to anyone who wants a nice smartphone with some bells and whistles, but not overkill.
What's great about it: Easy to maneuver, great features, stable OS
What's not so great: No durable cases for this phone yet

5 out of 5BEST VIRGIN PHONE NEXT TO S2!!!
By andrewm1009
Soooo hopefully tech support reads this and realizes the best buy website is hindering people from discovering this wonderful device by not allowing it to show up under virgin mobile phones unless you either a.) Scroll through a couple hundred prepaid items or b.) Directly search Samsung reverb...i actually thought you guys stopped carrying it...anyway as previously stated in the title this is the best phone unless you need the extra half inch the S2 screen offers or you can lose a half inch with the iPhony, both of which are double the cost...I am a very picky consumer and also prefer products that actually work unlike the 5 hour battery life and "radio signal lost" aka consistent dropped calls of 1/3 of the HTC Evo 3D ( a glitch non-existent on the Sprint version ) . I also owned the V One which is in my opinion the new LG Optimus ( not Elite!!! ) which i still use as an MP3 player after two years of solid use and dropping quite frequently. In a nutshell the 1.4 GhZ single core is phenomenal, i use my phone 10 hours a day for catering, nav, and hold em with 25% usually remaining at 8 pm, 4 inch screen is the perfect portion for most appetites ( unless you carry a purse and neeeed a note ) , and Samsung has mastered the most brilliant vibrant screens on the market. P.S. If you buy this phone you haaaave to get the hybrid case from virgin mobile since nobody carries accessories for this underrated champ and it combines hard plastic on the back with soft rubber around the trim :-) Good luck and hope this helps!

Completely agree with this reviewer!
January 1, 2013
I too, have been wondering why BB doesn't have this phone listed with the other phones. The only reason I knew about it was because I saw it at WM - and upon checking at BB, realized I could get it there with financing. And I concur about the lack of accessories for this as well. Hopefully they will come up with something a little better, or maybe when Sprint comes out with their version of this phone, perhaps then will they provide a better case. This phone is da stuff.....glad to see there are others who like it, as well!

5 out of 5AWESOME TV!!!
By swimmom13
from Galt, CA
I bought this TV today after a month of research to replace a 16year old box tv. This TV was super easy to set up for an older person, the instructions were very easy. Jerry at BestBuy Elk Grove, CA informed me since I have "the limited basic package" (I am on a budget lol) I will need to get an HD box from my cable provider. Exchanged my cable box the same day no charge for new box from Comcast, except $2.65 month fee - Thanks Jerry for the info! At first I thought I had done something wrong, picture quality was not what I was expecting. Called cable provider with HD questions and they fixed a few things, then informed me that there were special HD channels in the 700series to watch my local channels there. OMG!!!! MY LG TV LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE IT DID IN THE STORE FRICKIN AMAZING!!! Conclusion, if you don't have an amazing picture it is a user issue, set up issue or cable provider issue. This TV is spectacular, and I am very very happy!

1 out of 5Do Not spend your hard earned money on this washer
By SieSie
from Sparks, NV
This washer has a sensor for water saving. Sounds great right??? It isn't. When I put a full load in the washer it will not fill up with water. I get maybe 2 inches of water on a super setting. My clothes do not even get wet. I have had to rewash my clothes several times. Also when I use the soak mode to soak my whites it barely fills up with water. How can you soak your clothes if they are not submerged in water? I am so upset that I wasted $500 on this piece of garbage. I posted pics that show the amount of water I get on a super setting. And this is a 3.9 cubic foot wash basin.

Do not use the sensor setting!
December 4, 2013
If you want to control the amount of water that YOU want in the drum, use the size functions and not the sensor function. This washer will not use as much water as old day washers, but it uses more than HE washers. The way it agitates and washes takes a little getting used to, when you are used to the old school way. Play around with the different cycles and see which one best fits your needs. Some of them take longer - agitate differently - rinse more, etc. I had a Maytag washer from the 70's that they took away when they brought this one to my house. It is a major step up for me, and at first I wasn't too sure about it - but after having done several loads, I am more than pleased. And it spins your clothes so well, it cuts down on drying time in a major way.

Hi TOOZ330 - I ordered another one from Best Buy and it arrived Saturday. Fits perfectly and I love it. It doesn't have the clip on the back to hold the case firm (into a stand) but it does prop up well if you sit on something that is not slick.. It was also just a fraction of the cost. Made exactly the same way this one here, it just has the perfect fit.

I bought it to connect a keyboard to my tablet and not only does it work with the standard usb keyboard I bought to use with it, it also works with my wireless keyboard and mouse combo i use with my regular desktop. i have not tried it with a usb drive yet but i love how well it works with keyboards and mice. i would absolutely reccomend this to anyone who wants to use their tablets to tkae notes or write any quick doccumetns using a usb style keyboard and does not want to spend $100 bucks on a bluetooth keyboard.

Great phone love not having a contract, battery only lasts 2 days. This is my first Smart Phone so I'm not sure if 2 days is good or bad. Takes pretty good pictures, the sound is really good. $45 (500MB) a month is awesome, but having WiFi is key with this cell or you would need to buy a more expensive phone card to have more data.

That is a pretty good battery life, imho. It depends on what you have running in the background, and what your settings are. Do you know someone who could help show you how the smartphone works regarding apps and such? I am thinking of upgrading to this one because the OS is newer than mine. I use an app that helps keep app usage down.

This is a good phone for simple uses with the web, texting an of course telephone communications....
Only complaint I have for this phone is the fact best buy didn't have any protection covers for this phone, which I found a little odd... Other than not having any covers/protection for this phone...it serves it's purpose very well...

Phone Covers
August 2, 2014
You will not easily find phone covers and protection for these prepaid phones. That is more likely a Verizon issue and not related to Best Buy. There is only so much counter space and they tend to stock accessories for the more popular phones, which have more sales longevity. I always go to my local cell accessory store and they typically have what you need. Of particular importance is the plastic screen covers. They can be easily purchased to fit this phone. I highly recommend them!!!

Add rich, dynamic audio to your small to medium-size TV with this VIZIO 2.0 S3820W-C0 soundbar, which features 3" full-range drivers and 2" x 4" Deep Bass Modules for lush sound over a wide sonic range.

Got this the other day on a friends recommendation. I was not disappointed! Excellent sound, love the bluetooth feature. Only had 2 (really) small problems - 1 the sub woofer out is only one jack while my sub woofer has 2 inputs. Not a big deal, just an annoyance. The other has nothing to do with the sound bar but the shipping. I ordered it on Dec. 30th and just got it on Jan. 9th! I know it's free shipping & I shouldn't complain but when I chose to pick it up in store (of which there are 3 locally) the earliest they said I could get it was Jan 9th also. Why go to the store? Pretty bad if you ask me.

Store pick-up time
January 13, 2015
I have used ship-to-store multiple times. Typically, my items get to the store WAY in advance of the day listed by the website. I am no expert, but feel pretty sure that - even though it can get to the store more quickly than listed - they give themselves some wiggle room just in case there is a random delay in shipping. This is a popular item, which could also have been in short supply at the time. This just went on sale two days ago. Now you can't even get one online - or at any store within 100 miles of my home!

How well does this tv show when viewing sports? My other channels viewing is excellent, but when watching the sports, it blurred a little
I have had zero problems with this. It is all in your settings. And I don't even have cable.....just OTA antenna. Go into your settings and experiment, especially under 'expert settings.'

I see that they are sold out, when will they be back in stock?
I would keep checking. That's what I had to do. This is a very popular model, and for good reason. I see they are back in my area. Also, ask customer service in your store what they can do for you. Sometimes they can get one from another store, or might even have one hiding in the storeroom somewhere.

How is this TV with watching sports? Most of all hockey. Read a few complaints thanks
I have read multiple complaints. My reply is: go to your settings and play around with them under expert settings. I watched football games last weekend and absolutely ZERO issues with this. You know how the internet is, and also what they say about opinions lol.

Can Unwanted Channels be REMOVED so I don't always have to flip thru unwanted channels? (can you edit the channel list?) I'm using off-air TV w/rabbit ears, no internet or cable. Annoying to have to flip thru junk channels I don't want. Help please! :)
Yes they can be filtered out. I have OTA antenna, and get triplicates of channels. I look at which one the tuner receives the best, and then delete the others. You have to access this feature under (I believe) channel guide. I'm sorry I am away for holiday, or I would check the tv and walk you through exactly how to do it.

on the black friday ad from the online website itself, it says this tv is suppose to be 397.99 but when i click on it from the ad its changes to 479.99$, still cheap but wtf is that
That was the doorbuster price only. At this time, this model is sold out. Even the 479 price is a bargain. This set is awesome.

Where are the HDMI and other ports located? On the back side of the TV, bottom or side/s?
All are on the side. If you are facing the tv, they are on the back right. The only one that is on the back is the power cord port.

Yes, it does have optical. It also uses Bluetooth technology, which is great.
