I bought this TV during a pre-Black Friday sale. I upgraded from an LG 48" 1080p which I was very happy with for the past few years. This 60" (actually 59 1/2") TV with HD and UHD potential was less than $1000. I say UHD potential because not too much 4K content readily available (except for some shows on Netflix and user content on YouTube).
Cable TV via HD cable looks improved over 1080p TV but depending on the show, anything less than 1080i has noticeable motion blur. Blurays watched via PS4 look great and games on it and Xbox1 have minimal motion blur. DVDs even look great "upgraded" to match TV visuals. These are at default settings and may be improved using advanced settings.
Only major downer is only 3 HDMI inputs (although at least 1 is HCDP 2+ compliant). If you have more than 3 HD devices be aware or know you may need an HDMI switch. Smart TV apps work fine and notably includes Netflix, Amazon Prime and YouTube. To me, app reception seemed "weaker" than those funneled through the PS4.
Speakers are surprisingly better than I anticipated. Screen does not give off much heat but TV makes a slight humming sound even when off.
The remote is basic and unremarkable but gets the job done.
The 4K TV is a great value for under $1000. If you want a higher refresh rate and/or more HDMIs for the same price, you'll likely have to shop around more intensely or wait.

It's an interesting and entertaining perspective on Major Kusanagi and gang's beginnings. The stories drag a bit when dipping into their world's political territory, but the action is good.

This is a strong entry into the DC animation library, albeit a more adult entry. There is violence, profanity and strong insinuation of sexy-time. That said, if you are an adult fan of the Batman universe (and who isn't?), you will not be disappointed. The voice acting to is strong for all involved (Kevin Conroy, Jennifer Hale and Troy Baker!), though I found Deadshot's to be flatter than expected (more like "Deadpan", aha). The animation itself is nothing to complain about with good action sequences. The characters are styled from the Batman "Arkham" video game franchise (especially Arkham itself and its occupants). Supposedly the movie is somewhat of a lead-on to the Arkham Knight game, but I don't see how.

When the success of your next quest hangs in the balance, or only one more hairpin turn stands between you and first place. When the clock is running out and your team must defend that flag at all costs, or the next combo attack could either be your greatest or your last. When the on-screen action is intense, nothing matters more to the success of your game than the relationship you have with the controller in your hands. The DUALSHOCK family of controllers has always brought you innovative features and precise control. The DUALSHOCK 4 is no different and brings an exciting array of additional features that are designed to usher your gaming experience into the next generation. With these additions, the DUALSHOCK 4 Controller becomes an extension of your brain, turning every move of your fingers into an accurate performance in the game — and in your hands, accurate performance can only mean victory.How gamers use a controller is being redefined right before our very eyes as the next generation of consoles also redefines many other aspects of gaming. The DUALSHOCK 4 controller is equipped with a multitouch touch pad on the face of the controller, opening up a new world of gameplay. The integrated light bar generates a rainbow of colors and works with your favorite games to enable innovative gaming experiences. The DUALSHOCK 4's share button lets you upload screenshots and video of epic gaming moments or live-stream sessions with your pals — with the press of a button. Besides all of the new innovations, the DUALSHOCK 4 controller improves features from past controllers, such as the feel, shape and sensitivity of the dual analog sticks and trigger buttons for enhanced control and a built-in speaker and stereo headset jack for flexible audio options. The future of gaming is now, and the features of this controller live up to the hype.

Most important is that THE BLUE CONTROLLER IS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE. Although the Best Buy website (and other major retailers) lists "pre-order" and nothing else in-stock, rest assured they are around. I bought mine yesterday in store along with Diablo 3.
The controller performs as expected and is identical to the black ones that have been readily available and to the one packed with the PS4. Same trigger feel, headphone jack, touchpad and battery life.

I bought these to play MP3s and for video games audio-only (no microphone). I am very happy with my investment. The sound is solid: bass is very nice so drums and explosions sound great; voices are clear and unmuffled. Although the cords are not wire-thin, braided cords would have provided better piece of mind. It does come with an extension wire which is nice. The leatherette cups are very soft and substantial enough to hold my big ears. The deep neon green color is very eye-catching; this way I won't lose it. Probably the only neon thing I'd be caught wearing.

bright house cable says i must add a converter to my tv or i won't get many channels. Do you have these boxs for sale?
Granted that you at least have standard AV cables, you should be able to rent one for a minimal charge from your provider. Or upgrade to full digital cable.

We want to put a second TV in a small bedroom to use Wii Fit. What is the smallest size TV that will work?
Since the Wii can only output to 480p, an HDTV is not really necessary. However, for clarity, I would not go any smaller than 27". That way, you can stand a good distance away from the TV, still see it and reduce the chance of accidentally hitting it with the Wii-mote during an excercise.
