On time and professional

Verified Purchase:Yes
I ordered a large (55 inch or larger) from amazon, however the orignial and the replacement were both badly cracked. So I decided to not chance it a third time via USPS/UPS/FedEx etc.
The best buy delivery was on time. The device was unscratched, and the delivery team verfied all was well with the new unit. In addition they took away the old TV! Great service all around.

So far so good (just over a month with my new TV).
on November 19, 2016
Posted by: Itpro
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Insignia Roku TV has a far better build quality, on the tv unit and remote itself than cheaper competing models from Roku. The picture quality is good. 4k is nice, but for most of us extra pixels and resolutions simply do not matter. I often stream shows from online services, and have to remind my self to change the app's settings to 4k streaming.
If you want a great value, 4k, with the roku ecosystem, this is the tv to get.
The big winner here is the roku smart platform. I have used this new TV more in the past month, than I used the other TV in the past 6 months.

$15 that is it.

Verified Purchase:Yes
The crew that dropped off my new TV, showed up on time. They dropped off the new tv, and grabbed the old. For $15 (which you can re-coup by keeping you eyes open for price match on your new tv), you can responsibly dispose of a device like an adult. Seems like a no-brainer.

The system works okay, however when I received calls, the phone had issues passing it to the car stereo. It works fine transferring music from your phone to your car.

Great for cable management
on October 17, 2016
Posted by: Itpro
Verified Purchase:Yes
I use these all over the house to wrangle cables, even on sink counters. The adhesive they use is strong, and firmly stays in place. However, they are not ideal for using in a different location. Meaning that if you pull it off of one surface, it will not stick as firmly on the second surface.

Good transfer speeds

Samsung makes great flash devices (ssds, flash cards, usb drives). I used it in my surface pro, but then needed more space. So I got a larger version. 64 Gb should be perfect for a mobile phone, especially at a good price..

Wish it was USB 3.0 but great value

I can't complain for the price. I use this usb drive to run ESXi on an Intel Nuc for my homelab. I wish it was usb 3.0, but it would not have been so cheap. No issues after running the computer off of it for over a year.

The surface angled bezel requires this cable
on October 17, 2016
Posted by: Itpro
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you want to connect your surface pro 3 or 4, the device has an angled bezel. This adapter is made specifically to fit that bezel. It is you best bet to connect directly from a surface pro to an hdmi tv/monitor. Good build quality. If you do not want this adapter, get a cable that has a protruding or longer display port end. Standard display port cables will not fit due to the angle.

Good case but blocks camera

This case does as advertised, however when you open it, the front cover blocks the camera. That gets annoying, when you want to snap a quick picture.

Sends too much data over wifi
on October 3, 2016
Posted by: Itpro
Verified Purchase:Yes
The hd picture is great. However the video it sends is often too much data for the other party on the call to receive clearly. Often the other caller simply sees a blank screen. Not worth investing in for constant use, unless you and the person you will mainly be calling have excellent internet connections.

What apps are included as shortcuts on the remote control? There are commonly four.

netflix, sling, hbo now and google play. However, I would let you know that I also was concerned about which shortcuts would be on my remote. However, the interface of te tv is such that I have yet to use any of the shortcut buttons.

Does an Apple TV work with this?

Wifi is fine everywhere in the house. I use wifi for netflix and other roku channels. I get initial Netflix or amazon screen fine and when I choose a movie or program I get vertical lines , red and yellow and distortion. Ranges from 1/2 to all of screen

This is likely a flaw in the hardware. I have the same tv, and use 4k on it from time to time in both amazon and netflix, and do not shre your expereince. Does the same occur if you choose 1080p content?

Do you need a 4K HDMI Cable to access the4K resolution on Smart TV apps

No. A digital cable carries a digital signal, it either works or it does not (all or nothing). Further mote, the 4k apps are built into the TV, you need only load them from withing the TV's built in roku os. there is no cable to leverage for the smart apps. For 4k signal from your cable box a standard hdmi cable will be able to carry the signal as long as your cable box has 4k ability.
