Two thumbs up!

So I had analysis paralysis for a while....know its the end of season and new model years coming out soon but just finished basement and wanted to get the last piece installed...the TV.
Tried a Vizio M series in 70"...was ok, had some flickering though and had to take it back. Found this on sale from a competitor and got a heck of a deal on a price match....Was a bit worried as all the proper tech reviews dont like IPS and say how bad the black levels are in a dark room, but went ahead and put it in my dark basement.
Overall couldn't be happier. Set up easy, remote easy, I didnt bother with calibrating I am content using the modes on the set as they look great to me. Black levels look just fine even in dark room...and the set just has a great aesthetic to it....the slim bezel and sleekness really pop out.
What surprised me the most was how much better the 3D is on our older movies....we had one before but havent watched them in years. Tried out on this one and seems on a different level than before even though not 4k 3D movies. The depth perception is great and passive glasses are cheap.
Again, think a great picture, great features and great value. No complaints.

Its what I expected, maybe a bit better

Old TV was a 5-6 year old 1080 plasma 55". Moved into a new house with a large great room with 18 foot ceilings, a large built in entertainment center, and a view from the kitchen while cooking but a ways away. I wanted something that would be an optical upgrade but screen size was also important. Our internet is lacking in the country so we cant stream 4k, so our only real 4k content will be from the 4k dvd player.
I debated on this TV and a higher quality M series in a 65 inch. Comparing the two in the store I didn't see a ton of difference and I don't really need another tablet. At some point I actually found myself deciding if I was going to spend more it would be for the Samsung 8000 series that was on sale, but it would have been about 500 bucks more for a 5" smaller screen. Decided to go with the Vizio E 70" and completely happy with it. Is it as good as a Samsung 8000? No...but im also not comparing it side by side to other TVs in my house so looks good to me :)
At 929 bucks, I still spent 200 on the 4k DVD player and then another 250 on a sound bar as my old one no longer fit underneath this monster...so when you figure I could get all that for the price of the other one it works for me. Its not a bad TV by any means, and even though I don't have HDR or the highest processor, im not really missing what I don't have...what I am doing is enjoying the significant upgrade in both quality and size over my last TV at a price that didn't make me feel guilty for a TV.

We saw this on the deal of the day and wanted a small vacuum for our new motorhome, thought this would be perfect as its small, light weight, and easy to use.
It actually may never make it to the motorhome as she loves this for use in the kitchen and in general for dog hair clean up. Battery lasts 2-3 rooms on high power setting, so its not what you want for a full house. If you want spot clean up, or one or two rooms this would work great. Picks up very well, 2 power settings, easy to empty, very easy minor assembly (remove screw, put handle together, replace screw, charge battery).
All in all very happy with it so far, time will tell how well it holds up and holds a charge.

First off, wanted something for a large family room, in an open house, but with kids....so wanted non clutter and enough sound to fill the room. Also wanted to use for BT, Christmas music and such to supply the main floor of a large house.
At first, used it for just music and while clear, through bluetooth it was enjoyable but I certainly wasnt blown away. Used it for some TV as well, a few football games, etc and it was a nice improvement from TV as it should be.
After using it a month, I finally got around to watching a BluRay with it, the Croods. This was when I realized all the potential it had and what I was missing....holy smokes was this thing a hit! I have a nice set up in my media room with infinity towers and a klipsch sub, and if I were to buy again would probably just get this. The base is not as deep as the 12" woofer, but it is surprisingly great and more than adequate. Overall sound in surround mode was crisp, clear, powerful, etc.....I was blown away by how good this little box sounded for that movie, talk about a LOT of power in a little package. I would not even consider one of the 250 dollar packages with bar and separate sub, I would just get this and be done with it!
Also came with Geffen decoder but I did not need for newer TV. This unit does have a cheap remote, but its very simple and it works. Feedback for what mode you are in is the only thing I would want (surround vs stereo). The only light on it is a blue light that flashes when it gets a command, but I knew that from other reviews going in.
I would buy it again in a second and not hesitate.

How can they make this for 30 bucks?

Initially didnt expect much, then read reviews and figured I would try it. Cant believe how cool it is, think I have more fun then the kids. As a former helicopter pilot myself, its pretty cool to get a toy for less then 30 bucks that really flies around the house. Even has some flashing lights when operating, seems pretty sturdy. Its a legit toy, even if it was more. If I crash it, I will buy another, its that fun.
I have bought remote controlled cars/trucks for kids that are junk for this money...not sure how they can make something that you can fly and control for this cost, its a great toy.
What's great about it: It flies great, and low cost
What's not so great: Nothing
