Sleek Very Well Designed GFX Card
on September 17, 2016
Posted by: Volcom0903
from Seattle, WA
I recently purchased this card from my local Best Buy, and man coming up from just a GTX 970 made an outstanding difference. I had also bought the EVGA FTW 1070 which does have a big overclocking ability much more than this card just for around a $20 difference price matching. But for me did not fit my Corsair Airflow 240 Case which the card is only bigger than the other lower versions by its RGB lighting and 10CM Fans. I recommend the EVGA SC 1070 if your not willing to fork out the extra for RGB and better cooling and size. But will also recommend the EVGA FTW 1070 highly if you have a mid to high tower I loved my switch to a compact power house.
Things to Note
*As in the Picture you can clearly see how the cards White LED tends to be a little blue tinted when compared to the Corsair Logo and Fan LEDs
I would recommend this to a friend!

This season I wanted a TV I thought would never been on the market for a reasonable price but to prove me wrong this TV was everything I was looking for.
1. 1080p
2. TRUE 120mhz (PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION when purchasing TVs now, a new marketing technique shows how companies even big name brands DO NOT provide TRUE specs on motion rates() ex. Clear motion rate, motion rate plus, trumotion etc.)
3. LED
4.50"
And just overall is a superb TV I couldn't have asked for more when it comes to this deal 399 couldn't get any better would purchase 10 times over highly recommended on a budget and an up to date TV 2015

This Samsung soundbar has a 37-inch soundboard with a wireless 6.5-inch subwoofer. The 300W power output provides a rich, surround sound feel. Bluetooth connectivity, HDMI and USB ports let you connect this soundbar to any device. Control this Samsung soundbar using your phone or mobile device with the Samsung Audio Remote app.

1 out of 5Missing Parts and Bad Customer Support
By Shan
Just received this item. Ordered an open box one. Remote and Wall Mount accessories were missing. Called Customer support. She replied that it is usual to have some accessories missing in open box items. And that I will have to buy them separately. What a bad service.
In the web site Best Buy had clearly mentioned that the open box item is in excellent condition and "Product looks brand new and includes all original parts and accessories.". Extremely disappointing. Best buy just lost a customer.

Cannot blame Best Buy
December 8, 2016
I recently purchased an open box as well but did receive the remote and wall mounts, but the only issue I had was the battery cover on the remote was torn up. Thing is with open box items you'll always have that chance where the package will have missing accessories. Even with a excellent condition open box, the item itself is excellent but as for everything else no quite.

The Good.
The system sounds great when it works!
The Bad.
I bought this system to pair with my brand new LG 55" Smart TV, and the issues have been overwhelming. When I first hooked it up through the optical cord I was having issues with the volume matching the video, and the volume matching the what was displayed on the TV monitor. I was told to switch it over to HDMI, and my problems seemed to be resolved. Over the next few days I realized that while watching certain shows the volume would fade in and out, and sometime fade out for long periods of time. After speaking to Samsung, and switching my audio output to PCM the volume problems were resolved, BUT, the quality of sound was very degraded using the PCM setting compared to the auto setting. So, now that I have all of the connectivity issues resolved, the sound quality if not any better than the TV speakers.
Second issue, the Bluetooth connection between the speakers and my devices are extremely poor! I have tried every device, every setting, and every possible physical location possible and the issue is still there.
Third Issue.
Best Buy tells me that since I disposed of the factory packaging, they can not issue me a full refund on the item!!
This unit may work on Samsung TVs as advertised, but, DO NOT attempt to use it with an LG. Very disappointed customer of both Samsung, and Best Buy.

Try this if you still have it
December 8, 2016
I figure most seeking this item don't have familiarity with audio equipment. First off when using external sound output devices you'd want to DISABLE your TV's speaker because matching sounds will never happen (the audio sync would never match) I'm also talking about when using the Optical Cable. As for just syncing audio to the TV to match the video there is a setting in the SOUND option of the remote which allows you to adjust the sync by m/s (milliseconds) which fixes the problem indefinitely.
Bluetooth yes is quite poor when it comes to range. BUT the soundbar isn't focused on that functionality mainly sound quality is produced and the sub woofer is connected the whole time as if you want to connect another device the Bluetooth signal is diminished by multiple connections since whatever technology is inside the bar cannot handle multiple connections. (example, if you disconnect the subwoofer and connect your phone afterwards signal strength and connection is more stable) proves the point.
I use this with a 50" Sharp TV and works flawlessly I even got the rear speaker add ons which make it even better!

Playing USB drive content?
When connecting the USB drive, I am able to see only the photos. Any way to play the contents in USB drive like videos, songs, etc..?
Currently with this TV you cannot watch videos etc. Via USB. This USB port only functions with Jpeg photos and used for firmware updates.

Specs say it has PC Input,what is that?
Does this mean it has an easy connection for a PC? Sounds like it but I've not hooked a computer to a TV before and that is what I am looking to do. Could I do it with this set?
Yes you could usually now a days computers with dedicated graphics cards will use HDMI outputs therefore the PC connection would just be as any other device hooked up to the TV. The PC connection you mentioned is a normal VGA input standard when they mention PC connection

Will my IPOD Nano work?
Can I plug my IPOD Nano in to the Sharp TV to listen to the tunes downloaded on the IPOD?
Yes you can there's a headphone jack on the left side of the TV which would act just like an AUX input
