Beautiful, crisp picture

Verified Purchase:Yes
I looked at a number of TVs before choosing this Samsung. I got it adjusted to my liking and my viewing environment, and I'm very happy with the picture quality. It's got a lot of great features, such as HDR support, HDMI 2 and HDCP 2.2 support, as well as the One-connect mini. I have the TV connected to a 4K supporting DirecTV box, a new Denon receiver and a Blu-Ray player. I am impressed with how great programming from various sources look, even when they are not 4K sources. The upscaling works nicely, and the improvement over my year old 1080p television, even with the same content/source, is quite noticeable. I did have an issue with the remote that came with the TV, but Samsung quickly took care of sending me a new one. I cannot hold the remote issue against the TV, of course, and am pleased at Samsung's response.

Good TV for bargain set
on September 23, 2015
Posted by: Labby
Verified Purchase:Yes
This TV is a 720p HDTV. It doesn't have bells and whistles, but it is great as an extra set. It came for free along with the UN65JS8500 Samsung TV that I bought, and I am using it mainly as a computer monitor. I also have an antenna hooked up to it to watch TV if I feel so inclined. The picture is actually quite good, even though it's not 1080p. The menu is easy to navigate. It supports HDMI/Optical and Component. I think that anyone looking for a no frills set would be happy with this one, as the price is low and it does have a good picture. I only gave it 4 stars because I do notice a some light bleed and "dirty screen effect."

This Klipsch Reference R-25C center-channel speaker utilizes dual 5-1/4" copper-spun IMG (injection-molded graphite) woofers and a 1" aluminum diaphragm-compression LTS (linear travel suspension) tweeter to produce clear cross-spectrum audio.

Perfect for our system

Verified Purchase:Yes
We recently upgraded our receiver and noticed that, with the new receiver properly set up, the center speaker we had just wasn't adequate. The voices were clear, but sounded hollow. This new Klipsch R-25C center speaker made an immediate and vast difference. It gave us the kind of sound we were hoping it would - clear, full and natural. We are very happy with this purchase, and feel it does the new receiver justice.

Excellent Webcam for what it is
on September 9, 2015
Posted by: Labby
Verified Purchase:Yes
I am not going to ding this item for not being something other than what it is advertised to be. This is a 720p Webcam with 5 megapixel still shots. It is also an inexpensive camera. Based on the cost and the specs, I have no problem giving it 5 stars, as I feel it is excellent as a 720p, inexpensive camera. I replace an older Logitech Webcam with this one, and am very happy with the improvement this has given me. The colors look good, the software is easy to use and the images are clear. For anyone looking for a low cost, easy to use Webcam that presents a clear image, this is a good choice.

Insignia™ TV Stand: Easily organize your home theater setup with this stand, which accommodates your flat-panel TV and features 3 black, shatter-resistant tempered-glass shelves to provide flexible storage options.
Posted by: Labby
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm very happy with this TV stand, which holds my 65" set, satellite box, a/v receiver, Blu-Ray player and One-Connect mini. I chose this stand after picking out my TV. The TV choice was lengthy, but the stand choice didn't take long. There were a couple that stood out to me, and I felt this one was the right choice due to its attractive appearance and desired height. However, I had no idea how very solid and sturdy this stand was until it was delivered. The tempered glass shelves are thick and heavy! I have no concerns that it can't handle all of the items on it. The stand was also very easy to assemble and looks great in my TV room. There is plenty of room to hold my 65" TV, since the TV's pedestal is a center one, rather than two side "feet."

Smart security you can trust. See who’s at the door and monitor your home when you’re not there with this video doorbell. The 2-way audio lets you listen and talk to anyone on your property, right from your mobile device. Plus, you can easily recharge the battery with the included power pack.
Does this work if I also buy the ring chime pro, since this house doesn't have a doorbell? And could I buy 2 for different doors? I am more looking at a simple way to install a doorbell. Battery run. I see ring has a few, recommendations?
The Ring 2 will work with the Ring Chime or Chime Pro ( Pro includes WiFi extender,). Two of my friends use it with the Chime since the do not have available doorbell wiring in their homes. You can install two Ring doorbells in your house. They will both show up in the app. Just make sure you don’t choose the Ring Doorbell Pro, as it only has a hardwire install option, which won’t work if you don’t have existing doorbell wiring.

Check the weather before you even get out of bed with Echo Spot, which is compatible with Alexa and pairs easily with Bluetooth-enabled phones. The small design fits easily on an end or bedside table, letting you send quick video snaps or play your favorite tunes. Use Echo Spot to call friends without having to fumble for your phone.
Can I give it 4 weeks of my work schedule and ask “what do I work today?” If I set and alarm for the morning can I just talk to turn it off? I hate rolling around to push a button
You can connect a calendar to it to, I have my Google calendar connected and can ask Alexa what is on my calendar for today or a future date, for example. She will verbally respond with my schedule items. The Echo Spot (like the Show,) also visually displays upcoming items from the calendar.
Regarding the alarm, yes, you can stop the alarm by voice. I just say, “Alexa, stop” and the alarm stops until the next scheduled alarm.

The Gear S3 has the esthetics of a truly premium watch with advanced features built right into the watch design. That's why it's so easy and effortless to use the Gear S3. It's also built for you to go days without needing your phone or to recharge. You get to feel free with the Gear S3.
Did anyone upgrade to the S3 from the Gear Fit2? Did you miss anything? is the extra money worth spending? I understand a lot of this is personal, but would love to hear your thoughts... I love my Fit2, but the S3 looks very nice...
I actually own both. Since getting the Gear S3, I don't really use the Gear Fit2 so much. The added functionality (including Samsung Pay) along with the beautiful and functional design make it an excellent daily driver. I am more than pleased with my purchase of the Gear S3.

Control your life with the Amazon Echo. It started with a music player that could play anything from Prime Music to Spotify and Pandora, and it gives you hands-free convenience, yet it can now control lights, switches and thermostat and answer questions thanks to advanced voice recognition. Use the Amazon Echo to order an Uber or even pizza from Domino's.
Does amazon echo products work with iTunes.
Would Alexa play my music that is already on my iPhone or iPad?Or is it just amazon prime music that I have to buy?
Alexa will play music from services such as Pandora, IHeartRadio, Spotify and other Internet radio services, all via WiFi, as well as music stored on my phone via Bluetooth. I have an Android phone. While I'm uncertain of itunes compatibility, you do have options other than Amazon music.

Asus ZenWatch 2 Smartwatch: Head out on the town worry-free with this smartwatch, which features a 2.5D curved Corning Gorilla Glass 3 lens cover and water-resistant construction for a sturdy design. The quad-core Qualcomm processor provides fast and efficient performance as you set and work towards your fitness goals.
does the watch go blank when out of bluetooth range?
It does not go blank. Your notifications, emails, etc. won't come through, but will start up again as soon as you're in range. I get out of range on occasion at work. While I can go through most of the building and maintain a connection, sometimes I will get out of range. The watch still responds to taps/gestures and shows time. I just don't get the notifications.

whats the best 32 inch tv for a travel trailer
I have a 32" Samsung 720p television that I use as a spare and as a computer monitor. It has a nice picture and good colors.The 720p resolution is fine for those purposes. Since this sounds as if it's going to be your only TV, and it's likely going in a smaller area (travel trailer,) you may want to look at a 1080p model if you're going 32". I consider 32" the cut off point at which, depending on the circumstances, the extra dollars for 1080p may be the right option. I was in Best Buy this weekend and saw some good sales on 1080p 32" TVs from different manufacturers, including Samsung and the store's Insignia brand. The sale prices were down to what the 720p models were a few months ago.

samsung panel
does this tv from BB have a TS01 panel? Is this the best panel for this tv?
My JS8500 has the TH01 panel. I've not seen any of these with a different panel on them at this time. I belong to a forum and no one there has noted a different panel on their JS8500 televisions, either.
