Great Blu-ray Set
on June 2, 2017
Posted by: shimmy
Verified Purchase:Yes
Prior to the release date, I was concerned that the steelbook collectors edition would be the only way to get Logan Nair, the black and white version of the film, included with the Blu-ray. Most sites, Best Buy included, did not list the product features do I had no way of knowing if this was the case ahead of time. Fortunately Logan Nair is still included the standard Blu-ray and 4K sets. Both versions look great, the full length making of documentary and other special features are great additions as well. Great Blu-ray set for a great film.

An Exceptional Send Off For Wii U
on March 13, 2017

As there are already many reviews that praise the game itself (which it certainly deserves), my review will deal more with what you can expect specifically for the Wii U version.
Despite the Wii U's limited power and 720p resolution output, Zelda looks and performs remarkably well. Load times are reportedly faster than even the Switch version, which was a surprise, and even then there are relatively few loading screens throughout. While the frame rate does dip below 30fps, it only occurs when entering a new area or during hectic combat scenarios for only several seconds at a time. Screen tearing may occur as well from time to time, but only when the game is installed directly on the Wii U system. I have an external hard drive for my Wii U, and I found that having the game installed on the hard drive not only eliminates the screen tearing, it also results in fewer frame rate dips and contributes to faster load times.
The few complaints I do have are more centered around the use of the game pad. Unlike other Zelda titles on the Wii U, this title does not feature the ability to manage items or display maps on the second screen. It does offer "Off TV Play" but colors are drastically washed out compared to how it appears on TV. And while the game supports nearly every controller type (Wii U Pro Controller is my main choice), use of the game pad is required for certain motion control based puzzles, so you'll need to at least keep the game pad charged and close by. Luckily switching controls is simple and instantaneous, so alternating controller types is painless.
All in all, Zelda is a game that should not be missed and is still a grand experience on the Wii U.

Slick and Simple

Case looks and feels very good. Though the back of the case is metal it does not feel slippery to hold at all. Offers minimal protection, but has helped my phone sustain at least one 4 foot drop onto a concrete floor with no damage to phone or case.

Nice and Simple

When I started looking for a wireless all-in-one printer, I first tried a Cannon printer. Prints were slow but great quality, set up took at least a half hour, connection was fine for my '06 MacPro, but my girlfriend's '16 Macbook Pro constantly came up with connection errors.
After two exchanges and no resolution to the connection problems, we switched to this HP printer. Set up was much quicker (maybe 5 minutes per computer), prints were much quicker and quality was just as good as the Cannon. Most importantly, no connection issues for any of our devices whatsoever. Would highly recommend this to anyone looking for something simple and efficient.

Great Overall Quality for a Modest Price
on August 5, 2016

This is my fifth HDTV purchase in 10 years (this is my 3rd Samsung TV), and this perhaps the best TV I have owned so far. Picture quality is incredible, especially when playing videogames or watching a Blu-ray. Colors are vibrant and we'll balanced, and the contrast and black levels are the strongest I've seen since I last owned a plasma screen.
The sound is okay, good for basic TV. But after hooking up my surround sound system, TV speakers sound flat by comparison. The smart features are neat, but apps and menus are somewhat difficult to navigate with the basic TV remote that this model is packaged with.
Finally, while apps work and are convenient to have in the TV, picture quality seems to take a long time to buffer and fully load full HD quality. Running Netflix through the TV, the picture quality generally stuck to DVD like picture quality. Running Netflix through my Blu-ray player on the same movie, the picture maintained full HD picture quality the entire time.
In summary, this TV gives perhaps the best picture you can ask for any this price point, but you may need a few external devices like a sounds system and dedicated streaming device to get the most enjoyment out of this TV.

Display, charge and play on your Nintendo Switch console with this Insignia dock kit. Its charging port with USB 2.0 output powers a controller and any other compatible device, and its HDMI cable connects your Switch to an HDTV. This Insignia dock kit includes a USB-C AC adapter for power outlet charging.
 

Is there a light that shows the battery condition as it charges or when it's done ?.........I see a light, but I can't tell what it shows......Thanks !

The light on the side of the dock flashes green to indicate when it recognizes that the Switch is docked and/or powered on. It does not indicate when the Switch is charging or reaches full charge.

Does this dock allow you to have a case attached...like the Mumba rubberized case?

The dock is a very tight fit for the Switch on its own. There's definitely no way that it can fit the Switch while it has a case on it.

Upgrade your home theater with this high-quality Samsung 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player. Integrated Smart Hub technology connects wirelessly to your home network, allowing you to stream your favorite programs on demand. Equipped with several high-definition outputs and an HDMI port, this Samsung 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player integrates easily into your existing setup.
 

Is this a Region Free player or is is it locked to region 1

It seems to be region free, from what I've been able to test. I only have a few Blu-rays from the UK and Canada, but they all played immediately without any setbacks or complications.
