Not bad for the cost, wireless is good

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this to augment an existing TV that just wasn't cutting it in the sound department. I bought a digital optical cable to connect from the TV to the sound bar, so I have not tried it with BT or with plugging in directly, so my review is using the digital optical input. The remote has selections for the 3 different types of 'inputs'. It also has 3 different soundstage settings, but I just use the 'news' setting as I'm trying to 'punch-up' the dialogue in TV shows. Cinema is good only for movies that you don't mind be really loud. My only complaint is that there is no CENTER speaker in the bar, as dialogue is what's missing. The wireless subwoofer works fine in the same room, and no problem connecting- only complaint is that there is a piercing blue LED that flashes when the soundbar is off on the subwoofer. Also confusing if that the red LED on the soundbar is lit when the unit is off, but no indication when it is on. Sound quality: much better than a plastic TV set, but not a BOSE either- but, you're not paying for a Bose. You do get what you pay for, and it does amplify the TV sound well. It also appears to be "in sync" where some soundbars the audio is out of timing with the video - don't have that problem here. So, if you're going to spend under $250, this is a good deal. If you want to spend over $300, then maybe a Sony would be better, but this works for me. PS: Make sure that your TV set stand is tall enough to go over the top of the sound bar, or it will block your remote from working on the TV. Only other complaint is that there isn't more 'fine tuning' of the volume- one notch up is too loud, and one notch down is too low- needs more increments. Also, the volume up button is huge- so you think that you'd push the bottom part of the button to lower it, but it just raises it- there is a separate volume down button on the remote- takes some getting used to.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Yep, I bought this CD for just one song: "Turn Turn Turn" in genuine stereo, as it was available in mono for the longest time (I think even the Forrest Gump soundtrack had it in mono). Anyhow, that was enough for me, but there are a lot of other gems packed into the one CD that others would have made into a two CD set. Very good sound remastering. A good buy at Best Buy.

Save up to 64GB of media files and other data on this Samsung MB-MP64DA/BBY microSD memory card, which features a Class 10 UHS-1 design for rapid transfer speeds.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I fully intended to use this in my phone, but instead ended-up using my own adapter and backing-up my computer files on it- and it works fast and efficiently. Nice quality. Now I need to get one for my phone so it doesn't crash because of using a brand other than Samsung in it.

This yellow inkjet cartridge delivers bright, vivid results for vibrant-looking documents and is compatible with select Brother printers.
Posted by: DoctorJohnnyFever
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm glad that Best Buy carries each individual color for the Brother printers, as you'll invariably use more yellow than cyan, and you can buy each of the 3 individual colors instead of a whole box of colors and black ink.
Also, box gives you an idea of how many pages it will print so you can compare this usual size to the XL size.
Thanks for carrying the Brother inks Best Buy!

Great Album- BUT - I was missing something
on May 6, 2015
Posted by: DoctorJohnnyFever
Verified Purchase:Yes
Before of opened-packages at Best Buy- I didn't realize that this album came with TWO covers - mine had only the 'butcher cover' - it was the last one at Best Buy, and it wasn't until I got home and read about it that it should have ALSO came with the 'trunk' album cover like the paste-over version came with. So, I'm missing the US cover, but have the rare cover instead. Anyhow, how can you lose with the song selection when one of the top 4 Beatles songs "Yesterday" is included. This song was, in the early 70's, the most-copied song ever with untold versions by everyone under the sun. Audio quality is decent- almost too pristine and not very analog-sounding, so I'll give it 4 stars for the stark digital quality instead of 5-star analog quality. A can't lose Beatles collection, and one you need to add.

Sony BRAVIA KDL48W600B LED HDTV: This Sony BRAVIA TV features a 1080p display and X-Reality PRO technology to showcase your movies, TV shows and sporting events with rich detail. Built-in Wi-Fi makes it easy to wirelessly stream shows, movies and your favorite songs.
Wireless keyboards?
The Best Buy rep insisted that Bravia 48 LED 1080p SmartTV had USB port for "most" wireless keyboards using a dongle. This was the key feature I needed and of all the 1080 TV's in the store, this is the one he suggested. I'm not so sure he was right. It looks like the USB port may only be for plugging in a USB stick. Someone please tell me he was right after all. I'm not looking forward to putting this back in the box and hauling it back to the store.....but believe me, I will.
Wish I could answer- you may need to ask again, as I think it is designed primarily for the OTT dongles, but it also have plenty of HDMI inputs for them as well.

My Bose sound system has an optical connection, does this TV have an optical connection output?
Does this TV have an optical output?
Yes, I use my soundbar with an old MiniDisc TOSLINK optical cable with excellent synced results. Also has a headphone jack too.

Does this TV have a standard RF coaxial input?
I want to connect an indoor antenna to this TV. Need to be sure the TV has a coaxial input.
Yes, it has a standard "F" connector, but you are going to want a decent antenna for this TV- at least my new one is NOT nearly as sensitive of a tuner as my old Sony for OTA TV. Had to add an amplifier to get it to work decent. You also have to go into Settings on the top to tell it to search for only Digital TV channels.

does sony bravia smart tv come with 120 refresh rate?

I think its a pseudo 120, but really 60, but have had ZERO issues watching sports or movement, at least as far as I can tell.

could i disable the illumination light on this tv?
If you mean you want to listen to a music channel and shutdown the video, that is one of the 'input' choices, so you can do that.

Can I stream Amazon Prime videos?
I see it can get Netflix, Pandora, YouTube. But what about Amazon and Hulu?
Yes and Yes- no problem with either one.

Access to a Web browser?
So there is apps to connect to different ways to watch movies. but what about amazon prime? If not will there be a web browser in the apps?
Yep, I tried Amazon Prime for free for one month and watched 2 movies with no problems at all. Worked quite well and no 'buffering' issues either. Also works decent with Hulu and with Netflix. I don't recall seeing a webrowser, but it doesn't mean that you can't call one up.

Some tv manufactures state that their tvs' support pc streaming. What does that mean?
I want to use my tv as a monitor for my tower pc as well as viewing tv content when I'm not on the pc. Will the Sony Bravia , KDL48W allow that? I have an HDMI connection on my pc.
Don't know why this wouldn't work if you have an HDMI output on the computer. TV has several HDMI inputs, and one USB port too. It mentions "screen mirroring" as one of the inputs, perhaps that is for mirroring your computer screen on the bigscreen? I'll have to try that. You won't be disappointed with the vivid picture and color on this TV, that much is for sure.

how powerful is the sound does it sound like the theater
It is not like a $500 surround sound system, but the subwoofer can get very loud watching a movie and it will be louder and have more bass than your TV can ever produce. There is also 'cinema' setting that makes the stereo separation even better.

It says this is not WiFi enabled. What does this mean?
My TV operates through WiFi. Does this mean this bar will not work?
This bar will still work with your TV if you have any of 3 outputs on the TV: a digital OPTICAL output, RCA audio output jacks, or a small 3.5mm stereo 'headphone' our 'audio out' jack. Any of these 3 ways will allow you to connect to this soundbar. WiFi has nothing to do with it. There is a wireless subwoofer, but it has nothing to do with WiFi either, but has it's only radio frequency (which I do not know what it is- does anybody know?).
