Excellent receiver with great power and clarity

Verified Purchase:Yes
purchased this receiver to replace my long overdue for replacement onkyo tx-sr608. the 608 was a great receiver but lacked the power in 700watts to really drive my energy sound system. the 1800 watts in this pioneer was just what the system needed. you notice an immediate difference in sound quality and overall output levels the moment you fire up that first movie. it has a class d amp so it runs cool and conserves energy. the built-in mcacc room calibration tool is really detailed and compensates for jitter and really makes the difference in tuning the room. if you've got the spare bucks and need a 200+ watt per channel receiver then this is a really good buy.

I want to bouy and forward it to Brazil through Shipito. Is it unlocked to other carriers?
The device is carrier unlocked, but you'll want to ensure it can operate on the carrier bands available in Brazil.

Is this phone compatible with T-Mobile plans?
The device is carrier unlocked. I am using it on AT&T. It's safe to say it will operate on T-Mo as well.

Is this phone worth getting over an iPhone 7,I'm getting Teri's of apple and heard that google phones are really good. Also is it hard go to use to the way this phone works if ur a iPhone user. Thx for help.
Apple is behind the curve. They consistently play catch-up to Android now. Make the switch...you'll be happy you did.

Nothing puts a vacuum to the test quite like a home with pets. That's why the BISSELL® Pet Hair Eraser® was developed from the ground up by pet parents for pet parents. Whether it's shedding season for your dog or your cat tracks kitty litter all over the house, this revolutionary vacuum is designed to make cleaning up after pets and the people who love them a breeze—from beginning to end. Say goodbye to hair wrap with its Tangle-Free Brush Roll, remove embedded hair everywhere with specialized pet tools, help capture allergens and eliminate odors with the SmartSeal™ Allergen System, and when you're finished cleaning, enjoy a hands-free tank empty with our patented Cyclonic Spooling System™.BR>
How load is it? I've used an Oreck XL upright and a Eureka Mighty Mite and would hope it's no louder as those. I prefer bagged vacuums but want to try the BISSELL Pet Hair Eraser because of its claims of not getting hair tangled on the roller.
It's louder than my Dyson DC28. I wouldn't say its outrageously loud, but it's got a bit of a high pitch whine to it.

LG OLED 4K Ultra HD TV: Enjoy a cinematic viewing experience in your living room with this OLED HDTV, which presents a 4K Ultra HD picture. Plus, you can connect to the Internet with built-in Wi-Fi and webOS 2.0 for access to a wide range of apps, including Netflix.
What is the refresh rate?
there is no refresh rate/response time on an OLED. the pixels are instant on/off. however, there is input lag on the hdmi ports with post processing turned on. i've seen no problems with gaming on the cinema preset. if it's something that concerns you, you can simply turn on game more which disables a lot of post processing lag. but again, my assessment is that it's a moot point.

1. Display lag measured with a Leo Bodnar tester. Getting this out of the way. I'm not a gamer......
HDMI1 - All modes 50ms
HDMI3
ISF Mode - 120ms
Game Mode - 64ms
Rename input from HDMI3 to PC - 50ms

Update WOS to 3.0?
Will LG update to WOS3.0 ???? I have a EF9500 and it would be bad if they don't update it for the price we paid for this TV and I just got it in Dec 2015..

will this TV benefit from Geek Squad Calibration?
Got this TV several months ago. Think the picture is good, but not significantly better than my 2 yr. old Samsung. Got differing opinions from sales mgr. & geek tech when I asked this Q, then read calibration review from a customer on another LG TV saying the LG he had actually got worse with the Geek Squad Calibration. I don't want to waste my $, but want to make sure I'm getting the best picture I can now that I've invested the $ I did buying it. Any info out there re: 65" LG OLED 4K flat screen calibration?
make certain you're running the latest firmware from the website. the auto updater in the us isn't working properly. it's up to 4.20.75 as of today. i performed a calibration on it, and ultimately decided to go back to the preset Cinema settings. I for one prefer the brightness that comes with this preset. The colors out of the box are pretty spot on, and I actually like the Soap Opera Effect.
Try these calibration settings before blowing several hundred dollars on one: http://www.cnet.com/forums/discussions/lg-65ef9500-picture-settings/
but know that those settings will drastically reduce brightness.
