Must-Have for Multi-Speaker Sonos Setups
on June 14, 2017
Posted by: Ryan
Verified Purchase:Yes
With four Sonos speakers placed throughout my house, I needed a way to easily manage them without having to worry about the settings of my mesh Wi-Fi system. The Sonos Boost is the perfect solution. After connecting it to my main Wi-Fi node, my Sonos speakers are now isolated to their own wireless network and are essentially immune to any complications from being connected to a mesh Wi-Fi system.
Before installing the Boost, the Sonos app would tell me that the speakers were not connected to the same Wi-Fi network, so I could not play the same content in unison on all four speakers. After doing some research, I learned that this is a common problem with Sonos speakers connected to a mesh Wi-Fi system. The Boost fixed the problem.

Logitech Wireless Wave Combo MK550. A mouse-and-keyboard combo that gives you a comfort curve without a learning curve. The keyboard’s Wave design with Constant Curve layout guides hands into just the right position and conforms naturally to your fingers, helping you type with ease and confidence in a familiar layout. The laser mouse is a joy to hold and use.

Comfortable and Durable

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've purchased three of these Logitech keyboard/mouse combos over the past few years and they have been well worth the investment. Comfortable, ergonomic design, long battery life, and easy set-up. Just plug in the small adapter to any USB port and you're good to go. The comfort of the keyboard seems to have improved my typing speed over the years. Highly recommended!

Demo-Worthy 4K Disc
on June 9, 2017
Posted by: Ryan
Verified Purchase:Yes
The movie itself is fairly entertaining, but the real story is the incredible quality of this 4K UHD disc. The image is sharp, colors are rich and vibrant, and black levels are near perfect. Highly recommended for showing off your new 4K TV and 4K Blu-ray player.

My only complaint is that the band is somewhat difficult to put on and take off my wrist. But once you do it a few times, you'll get the hang of it. Highly recommended!

3D Lovers - Rejoice
on April 6, 2017
Posted by: Ryan
Verified Purchase:Yes
Put quite simply, this is the best TV I have ever owned. Gone are the days of mediocre black levels, clouding, flashlighting, and all of the other problems inherent to today's slim TVs. LG's OLED technology is light years ahead of even the best regular LCD/LED sets on the market today. Fans of 3D should take special notice - with 3D TVs becoming harder to find, this is arguable the best 3D-enabled TV ever made.
Black levels are perfect. Since there is no backlight and no edge lights, pixels are essentially autonomous and illuminate only when needed. Areas of the screen that are meant to be black appear as true black and do not appear grey or washed out like edge-lit panels. Watch a movie like 'Gravity' or the opening scroll in 'Star Wars' to see the difference. Objects like stars and spaceships stay brightly illuminated, while the deep black of space stays perfectly black. Such perfect black levels mean that overall contrast is superb. Colors are extremely vibrant and appear to pop off the screen.
Overall, the picture quality is just stunning. You really have to see it to believe it. This OLED set has given new life to my Blu-ray collection. I can't wait to re-watch some of my favorite films knowing that I'll be viewing them in arguably the best possible picture quality.
You won't find a TV that handles 3D better than this. Two pairs of passive glasses are included. Thanks to the 4K resolution of the TV, each eye received a full 1080p image when watching 3D content. It's a shame that LG is moving away from 3D support, as this is truly the pinnacle of the technology.
Setting up the TV is a breeze. The paper-thin design of the TV is truly a work of art that will become the centerpiece of any room.
The TV's operating system (WebOS) is just as beautiful. No longer will you have to trudge through the depths of confusing menus and settings. Everything you need is nicely and colorfully laid out on the bottom of your screen, easily accessed by pressing the "Home" button on the "magic remote." The initial set-up screen was able to program the magic remote to work almost seamlessly with my TiVo Roamio.
The TV's built-in speakers are certainly adequate for a smaller room, but I'd recommend at least a sound bar and a decent subwoofer to really bring your content to life.

OLED is the future. There's no escaping it. And for me, there's no going back. This is unquestionably the finest TV I have ever seen. And if you want the complete package -- 3D, 4K, HDR, Dolby Vision, etc. -- you'd better act fast before these 2016 models disappear.

Incredible - Believe the Hype

Great Companion for Echo
on December 25, 2016
Posted by: Ryan
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was a little nervous about this product after reading some mixed reviews, but it works perfectly with my Echo and Echo Dot! I bought two of them - one for a bedroom lamp and one for a living room lamp. Plugged them in, set them up in the WeMo app, and then added them to my Echos in the Alexa app. I love being able to control the lights with my voice.
If your simply trying to use this with an Echo device, give it a try! I can't wait to add more to my home.
