Samsung and Best Buy hit it out of the park with this feature loaded TV. I understand it is made especially for BB to fit into a better than most, but just under the highest end tv niche, and it succeeds well. Setup was easy, the smart tv functions work well, and the picture delivered, in terms of color balance and clarity, is excellent. Available at a great price point and picture perfect.

A great light for color temp. selection

If you are one of those people that is finicky about the color temp of your lighting - this is the bulb for you. Don't want to spend $50 on a bulb with 16 million colors, but want to be able to have anything from blue white to warm white and dimmable - get this bulb. I mostly like a warm soft light, which the basic white bulb (also dimmable) gives you - but there are those spots that you want a white, blue/white outdoors color temp. The best thing though is the ability to have both in the same lamp with this bulb. Think of bedroom light where you may want a good reading light that also is warm so you can get ready to sleep, that changes to a relaxing warm dim light to help your body go into sleep mode or doesn't jar you if you need to turn it on in the middle of the night and then in the morning can be a bright energizing light to help you awaken and get on with the day. This is the light bulb to do that. It is so easy to hook up and use. After installing the Hue Hub and the app on your phone or computer - you just screw this bulb in, turn it on and it appears in the app as available. Give it a name, assign it a room and you are done. If you have a Google Home or Amazon Alexia you can have more fun, and just use voice commands to turn it on and off and dim or brighten. Price point is around $30 which is +15 to the basic white, but -20 from the full color bulbs.

It is SO simple

Not a lot of detailed instruction or information and I am going OK how does this thing work. They basically tell you to plug it in and push the button. Guess what? THAT IS WHAT YOU DO - and it simply works. Using it with a Google Home that I was given for Christmas and the Hue lights. Love it.

What a great monitor, at a great price, and with function and style. Was looking for a monitor to add to my laptop to make it easier for work at home. Didn't have a lot of space and was looking at 19-21". Did not really care about gaming or the TV/HD/resolution wars or (at first), just wanted something for document word work. Lots of measuring and on-line comparing. Finally, decided to swing by a store to get a better visualization of how the actual dimensions occupied space (stand, depth, tilt). This monitor was sitting next to a 21" of almost the same overall dimensions, but seemed to have such a bigger picture. Guess what - it does. The display area is 23" but it has the footprint of most 21", and even some 19". I had "filtered" it out because it was a 23". It is also attractive in a home setting, with a black casing on top and sides of less than 1/8" and the bottom an attractive brushed silver of 3/4". The stand is unobtrusive and attractively designed. Only quibble there would be it is not a universal mount if I wanted to fasten it onto a multi-screen stand in a 2-3 screen display set-up - but I bought this for the home, remember. So much for the esthetics which I usually don't care about. The monitor itself is a very good monitor. Using the VGA output from my 'puter it works great. Does all sorts of auto-adjust stuff and was absolutely plug and play - the only adjustment I needed to make was to actually reduce the brightness. Glare free. The whites are really white, the blacks black. Also, has an HDMI input, and you can switch from VGA to HDMI from the front panel, or put it in auto select. Wait, why would I care about that? Hmm, so I now have this monitor that has an HDMI input... So, I think... my cable box has an HDMI output, doesn't it? Guess what - the monitor that I bought only just for work on with my lap-top is now also used for watching cable television. Hadn't really had the TV on since Sandy, but the political silly season has arrived. The monitor has no speakers, but that is easily remedied by using the audio output from the cable box to the aux inputs on my audio system. A little tinkering with the cable box resolution outputs (set it for 720p) and everything handshakes very nicely. Great definition and color balances. Also a great price. If this is still available and on sale run, do not walk, and buy it. Heck, buy two. Even if it isn't on sale, buy it.

Will the Hue Bridge 2nd Generation work with GE bulbs? Right now I have a Wink Hub and the Google Home. I can't get Google Home to work with my Wink.
I have not yet used a GE bulb with my 2nd Gen Hue Bridge and Google Home, but it is my understanding that the GE bulb will work on this hub. I have only just started playing with all this - you know the Christmas gift (Google Home) that ends up costing you money. From an article or two that I found - at one point Philips had blocked 3rd party bulbs, but quickly did a reversal of that.- and one article specifically said that the GE bulbs worked with the Hue system. Also, the GE bulbs are supposed to be a bit cheaper and with slightly higher lumen output, but also with a higher kelvin temp - so they are not as a warm white. Good luck .

Does it have a headphone jack? (In other words, can I plug in normal earbuds or headphones?)
NO - this is a video monitor only
