Good mid-sized microwave
on May 31, 2018
Posted by: DukFan
from Portland, OR, USA
Verified Purchase:Yes
had to replace an older GE Profile microwave that fit in a tight space... this new microwave isn't quite as wide as the old one which allows better airflow around the unit. It is more powerful, and takes a little getting used to for operation, but it works great and still looks like the older ones. Runs fairly quiet too... an improvement on an already good microwave oven.

It's an Apple OEM cable... not much more to say than that. Better knowing replacing a bad old cable with an OEM one won't create any further problems

Platinum - Quick Charge Car Charger

The color is more dark grey thank black which is a good thing because it's closer in color and matches better to the other knobs and controls in the car than black would be. Small light by the opening for the connecting cable is a nice touch.

Beats replacement cable ok, not what it should be.
on July 19, 2017
Posted by: DukFan
Verified Purchase:Yes
Works as any audio cable would, but this Beets replacement cable lacks the volume control on the original factory cable... so it works just like any other generic audio cable would... just not in the "Beats" Red....
Come on Apple, support your older products.

Great for travel in Europe
on June 23, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased this to replace one that had issues actually opening up the prongs to plug into outlets. Checked this version out only to find the same issue. Not all of the prongs would extend to be used. Opened a second box (in store at counter) and found one that worked correctly. Used without any problems in England, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy and France. Great for travel, easy to carry in day packs while exploring the world. a must have for any world traveler.

Great TV!
on December 25, 2016
Posted by: DukFan
Verified Purchase:Yes
Out of the box, the first thing you notice is how thin the TV is. Once set up and running, it's very easy to get to the fine tuning of the picture and sound. Most common apps are pre-installed except for a web browser, but a link for Opera is there and easily installed. Content shot in UHD is amazingly clear, the colors are rich and pretty natural, and depth of field is as good as it gets. Sound is okay in a smaller room, and the simulated surround is noticeable, but for a big room, it will sound better with a soundbar and sub-woofer, or a sound system. People have even said the stand looks really good when looking at "the new TV". Haven't paired a wireless keyboard or PS4 controller yet, but will soon. The Sony 800d TV is beautiful, and will no doubt continue to be state of the art with the 4K processing and Triluminos technologies for years to come. Love this Sony!

Upgrade landline communication with this VTech cordless phone set. You get a main base, a secondary base and two handsets so you can hear the ringer from any location in the home. Expand to additional handsets (not included) to cover larger spaces and take advantage of functions such as speakerphone and caller ID on this VTech cordless phone system.

what is the difference between this and the 700D model that is $100 less

1. Triluminos display, a term coined by Sony. It is basically a technology which enhances the color saturation.
2. HDR processing built in, but is available to download as a firmware update for the 700.
3. The remote has a "voice search" function, which could be purchased from Sony for the 700, but then you'd have two remotes for the Sony...

Is this TV supposed to stream Netflix in 4k? I was trying several of Netflix's 4K content yet all of them would only show 1080 when I check with the display button.

The display button does not function when streaming content is playing. Any TV/monitor will only display up to what the original content is shot in. If the Netflix content is shot in UHD format, it should display back in UHD. I know Amazon content shot in UHD (The Grand Tour) streams in UHD and looks great! When playing the Netflix program in question, pause it and see if there's an indication of UHD in the title, which for Amazon, is on the lower left corner of the screen.

How do 1080p and below video games look on it? i'm worried about non-4k ps4 games and my 360/ps3 games looking extra blurry.

all our older PS4 games look really good on the TV. You should have no problem with video games, just make sure to connect the game systems via HDMI cable.

Whats the Dimensions of the box it comes In?

the box is 47 x 30 x 6.5". it did not fit in the trunk of my midsize car, but it fit easily in the back seat section where peoples' feet would be. Not too difficult for one person to carry and load.

I don't used cable or satellite. Will I get regular air channels without the need of an antenna?

you will need some kind of hdtv antenna connected to either the co-ax or one of the HDMI inputs to pick up off air signals from local TV stations. If you are simply streaming content, no antenna needed. Non-amplified indoor HDTV antenna's start at about $20.

When mounting this phone on the wall does the phone base hide/cover the bracket and also are wires concealed?

yes, partially. phone & base cover the wall plate/landline connection plate, but if you include a voice filter (needed for phone company interweb service) that is partially seen, but much better than other older cordless wall mounted phones we've owned.
