Amazing Value at Promotional Price
on May 18, 2017
Posted by: JerryMD
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this HDTV on a One Day Sale at an amazing price point of $450 mainly to use with my PC as a 4K monitor. The amount of screen real estate is awesome for general PC usage and productivity, but gaming at native 4K is a challenge unless you have a really fast graphics card (GTX 1080 or better).
The curve is very subtle on a desktop from 2-3 feet away. The multiple inputs and remote also make it easy to "Switch" between different consoles, Blu-Ray player, whatever.
This HDTV will also do 4K/60Hz 4:4:4 subchroma and HDR at 8-bit color with Nvidia graphics cards. Newer 2015 and later AMD cards should also work. Just make sure to use a quality 18Gbps rated HDMI 2.0 rated cable. It doesn't need to be expensive, just good quality. Input lag is there compared to PC monitors but not hugely noticeable.

Disappointing compared to similar items
on May 4, 2017
Posted by: JerryMD
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this relying on other reviews here and I must say I am disappointed in reviews as much as the product. The packaging, design, presentation, and overall ease of use is outstanding, the dock works, the lights are nice, the product is well built and feels good in the hand.
But the brush head motor and cleaning ability is extremely weak and disappointing compared to the industry leader Clarisonic. While the Clarisonic did end up breaking after 3 years, it does a much better job of actually cleaning.
This unit not only has a very weak circular motion, the brush heads are very, very soft. Extremely disappointing, so I will be returning it.
I am giving it 2 stars instead of just 1 because the external design of the product and how well it is thought out is wonderful, but the primary reason I bought it is very lackluster.

Great bag, best of the Adventura for DSLR
on February 3, 2017
Posted by: JerryMD
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought both this and the SH 140 II during the recent BB sale to try, and was shocked at how small the 140 was. Looks much smaller than the pictures and is only big enough for a midrange DSLR with the lens attached and a few smaller accessories, like a charger or a few filters in the side compartments.
The SH 160 II on the other hand is just about perfect. I was able to fit my Nikon D5600 with the 35mm lens along with the 18-140mm kit lens in one of the side pockets. A larger telephoto lens would most likely not fit.
I plan to use this over the LowePro Slingshot for some areas where I don't need a full daypack or where a full sling is just too intrusive and bulky. This has enough room to carry my camera, 2 extra batteries, an extra filter, an extra lens, and an extra SD card. I can also fit some additional thin items in the front pocket.
As for the front pocket, this is clearly a design thing to make it look better since it only accesses the hideaway pocket. I kind of wish it also covered the camera to allow for a faster access pocket, but this was LowePro's design decision.
Still, very happy with this bag for the price and functionality.

Good, but not great sling
on February 3, 2017
Posted by: JerryMD
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a great looking, well constructed sling bag from Lowe Pro. I got it for a significantly discounted price with the 25% off 3 items and another stacking discount, so almost half off, which is why this even gets 4 stars. If I paid more I might dock another star.
Con - Usually I start with Pros for all of my reviews, but there is ONE MAJOR negative of this bag that makes no sense to me. The Velcro strips on the bag are fixed and sewn on to the bag's body, which limits how much you can adjust the dividers. When you are wearing the bag, the dividers are skewed so that the LARGER portion is on the LEFT side when you open the bag up to pull your camera out. Anyone with a DSLR knows, the RIGHT side is larger as that is the hand-grip area. What this means, is when you pull the camera out of the bag, you will need to turn it around before you can take pictures, instead of just pulling it out and ready to shoot with your hand grip in place.
Another Con is that the top portion of the bag does not extend down the entire length of the bag, some bags have this to allow for larger laptops or tablets, but you really get a camera cell, along with a slightly smaller compartment for random stuff.
Pros: overall the bag is extremely well constructed, looks good, well padded and streamlined. Still it is quite large, you would think it would hold more but it doesn't. You can definitely attach a monopod/tripod to the back or side, or put a small water bottle or thermos in the side pocket.
Overall good bag, just keep in mind the limitation, wish LowePro caught this in QA. Come to think of it, I will dock another star, this is a pretty egregious oversight imo.

Great midrange DSLR with some quirks
on January 26, 2017
Posted by: JerryMD
Verified Purchase:Yes
My wife and I were looking for a quality DSLR without breaking the bank for an upcoming cruise and to capture the rest of our lives together and our research led us to the Nikon D5x00 series.
If you made it this far, you are probably like me and found Nikon had a slightly updated version of the highly touted D5500, and while the differences are not massive, there are a few notable ones:
1) Snapbridge support offering NFC and Bluetooth connectivity on the D5600.
2) Touch screen support of picture advance/scrubbing in review mode
3) Automatic time lapse feature, nice for capturing sunsets, day changes automatically
4) Slightly smaller body, but slightly higher weight
Otherwise, the features remain nearly identical, and we ended up choosing this over the Canon Rebel T6i/s competitors because it was smaller and did 1080p/60 video instead of 1080p/30. The difference in price over the older D5500 was only $100 more and it also offered the 18-140mm kit in a bundle while the D5500 did not, so we ended up buying the D5600 just as it came out via pre-order.
The main reason we ended up choosing this popular 18-140mm lens kit bundle was due to some research and youtube videos stating it was the best all-day carry type lens that gave some telephoto zoom, but also good results up close and in some lower light situations. Apparently, others came to similar conclusion since this kit is now showing as "SOLD OUT". We are looking forward to touring the Mediterranean with this camera in tow!
We also ended up getting the Nikon 35mm f/1.8G as well for an indoor low light and portrait prime lens, so while we will minimize the need to swap lenses outdoors, we will still swap to the 35mm indoors.
As for the camera itself, overall it performs very well but we haven't had a chance to really test it too much in the dead of winter. Snapbridge is still a bit quirky and annoyingly, does not auto-connect to the Wi-Fi on your phone, you have to manually navigate to it each time to use the phone control feature. We ended up buying the handheld remote instead to simplify the process.
Some negatives of the kit itself, it is very sparse. There is no hood or lens bag included. The battery doesn't even come charged. There also isn't an SD card included, even a tiny one that would let you get shooting right away, so make sure to have one beforehand. I noticed some of the older camera kits included these kinds of things.
We bought a couple extra batteries, and a Lowe Pro Slingshot 250 bag to store everything using BestBuy's 25% off combo, as well as a few filters, 67mm UV for protection and 67mm polarized for outdoor bright glare shooting. Overall very happy with the camera and everything we purchased so far, we'll be sure to test it out more in the future!

Super Bowl is over and this TV is still SPECIAL!!!
on February 10, 2016
Posted by: JerryMD
Verified Purchase:Yes
So I'm sure many of you have read the negative reviews stating this TV is just a Super Bowl special made from leftover parts, but WHO CARES???
Read the reviews of those that actually own the TV and they all come back the same, its a WONDERFUL TV at a great price point that retains most if not all of the features of the much higher price models that TV salesmen LOVE to upsell you on.
Personally, for me, after getting similarly upsold (fleeced and burned) a few years ago on the "latest and greatest" HDTV, I vowed I simply would not ever again pay more than $1000 for an HDTV. They simply depreciate too fast to justify the price.
I was waiting for an HDTV to come along that hit all of the major points I was looking for, and this JU7090 came at the right price at the right time:
-120Hz processor, which helps for fast-paced action like sports, video gaming. Input signal is still 60Hz but there is still a difference between the 60/120 capable displays, check rtings dot com for more info.
-4:4:4 chroma, HDMI 2.0, HDCP 2.2 support to support the latest 4K/60Hz content and PC output with compatible graphics cards.
-3D. Yes I still buy 3D movies on occasion and even use it from my PC. Most of the previous sale panels did not have 3D and/or 120Hz processor to keep prices low.
-60" or bigger. There were "higher-end" 55" panels at slightly higher price points that I thought about biting on, but in the end I didn't think 9" was a big enough difference over my 46". I am glad I waited, 60" is AWESOME improvement.
So overall the panel is not perfect, it takes some calibration and the black levels are still not great. Tweaking PC input is still ongoing but I have finally made the changes necessary. If you were looking at the highest end panels from Samsung or Sony you may notice the differences, but for me, coming from one of the first slim Samsung 1080p SmartTVs (D7000) the difference was simply astounding.
Not only was the panel much more uniform, but everything I hated about the D7000 was mostly fixed. Per input settings memory, no need to rename the input to PC to get lag-free, non-cropped screen and fine text. And most importantly, the SMART stuff was actually usable and bearable as the menu/apps are MUCH faster.
Overall very happy with this TV from BestBuy, I had a bunch of certificates that strongly encouraged me to go with BestBuy and I'm happy I waited. Great TV for a great price!!!

Fantastic Space Heater in a small package
on December 18, 2015
Posted by: JerryMD
Verified Purchase:Yes
Works great, doesn't look that awesome but it is tiny for a space heater, relatively quiet (could double as a noise maker) and pumps out quite a bit of heat safely without any hot elements that could catch fire. This is great because my in-laws live with me and they always complain in the winter that it is too cold (old people problems) in the house while me, the wife and the kids like it colder. This solves the problem in their in-law suite and bedroom while keeping the rest of the house nice and cool.
The included remote, sleep timer, and LED panel are also great, and as I mentioned, it makes a gentle white noise sound gush of air that people like my wife actual pay for separately.

Better than I expected! Hard to find!
on November 20, 2015
Posted by: JerryMD
Verified Purchase:Yes
This Elite controller is better than I expected and a bigger difference over the standard controller. It is heavier but also feels much nicer in the hand due to the texture and build quality. The thumbsticks move so much nicer like there are bearings or magnets controlling the movement and the bumpers also feel much better clicking. The triggers also move effortlessly without any notable resistance and the underneath paddles are nice additions. The new multi-face dpad is also great, it unlocks clicks you didn't think existed before. Switching accessories is simple. Really great controller, I also got the 2 year geek squad protection to replace this if it breaks.

Worth the wait

Verified Purchase:Yes
Took over a year for it to release on the PC, but wow was it worth it. Game looks AMAZING and runs at 2-3x the framerates as the consoles on a high-end PC.
Beware, this will take 65-70GB of installation space and comes on SEVEN DVD drives. So, be ready to shuffle discs in jukebox style.
Still, it is worth the wait, this game is AMAZING for previous GTA fans and new fans as well, must play on the PC even if you are a console fan!

Will my Cannon t6i fit in this bag? with an extra lense or 2?

You should be able to fit the T6i with 1 lens, not 2, although the length of lens will be limited. I was able to fit a Nikon D5600 with 35mm and a 18-140mm lens on the side pocket, but it was snug.
