My favorite thermal paste
on October 8, 2016
Posted by: Cross

Verified Purchase:Yes
Oddly I never see it featured in reviews, but it is my personal preference thanks to the fact that it is thick and not a melted/moisty mess as many other thermal compounds out there are, so you don't have to worry about it leaking into your CPU socket or so on. It also doesn't dry out fast and does great with high temperatures. Not the best temps as opposed to a few other famous thermal pastes, but if you want something that is not messy and very versatile for various scenarios, use this.

Gorgeous colors and contrast, audio fell short

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have only used it for about an hour and I already fell in love with the display. The darks are outstanding and colors are vivid, not washed out. The only thing that didn't meet my expectations was the audio. I have a VERY old 26" 720p Westinghouse TV (model SK-26H735S from 2008 or 2009 if I recall correctly) and the bass and overall sound does a way better job. I would recommend at least a sound bar to go with this in order to have it. It is still a 5 star because you get an excellent display for the price.

Great for multiple controllers, TERRIBLE contoller

Verified Purchase:Yes
I had forgotten why I decided to stay away from OFFICIAL Xbox 360 controllers. Out of the 3 I have purchased, ALL 3 have had issues. One with joystick issues, one with squeaking triggers, and this last one with an issue with the down button on the D-Pad and an issue in which the left trigger seems to lose power when holding it and pressing multiple buttons. To anybody considering a genuine controller, I GREATLY suggest the Afterglow as it is virtually identical in every aspect and the analog sticks are as perfected as the original.

Lacks the ability to share same Wi-Fi?
on June 5, 2016
Posted by: Cross
from Bronx, N.Y.
Verified Purchase:Yes
Windows now allows you to share your internet connection easily without the need of third party software. I love Connectify for its simplicity in order to avoid using the Command Prompt, which makes Wi-fi sharing (or "repeating") really simple, but this adapter would make it loop into restarting its service. When using the manual Command Prompt method to make the commands work, it would also fail with two different errors. For the average user, it is great, but not for the functions I need. If you have a computer with no optical drive (CD/DVD drive), you can download the driver and simplified software online, but I think this software is what was causing issues in my case.

Excellent performance, one flaw
on June 4, 2016
Posted by: Cross
from Bronx, N.Y.
Verified Purchase:Yes
The performance on the Stick is AMAZING! However, it falls short due to the fact that the Wi-Fi lacks 5GHz. Although it is not meant to be a major computer replacment, 5GHz would be important to make it an excellent competitor to limited "sticks" such as the Roku or Amazon Fire Stick. Otherwise, it is well worth the price. Looking forward to seeing a refreshed version that supports 5GHz Wi-Fi frequency.

As advertised, but not good enough
on May 3, 2016
Posted by: Cross
from Bronx, N.Y.
Verified Purchase:Yes
It DOES extend ANY wifi and setup is relatively easy (athough options vary from device to device, like PC, Mac, smartphone, etc), however it failed at one thing that I expected to be the other way around; 5GHz was always "green" and 2.4GHz always struggled and at "amber". The colors indicate the signal, green being the best, amber being okay and red being bad. 2.4GHz has a farther range, but the connection was always on amber, and thus the speed was slow. 5GHz was excellent. Another flaw is that at times, it was as if the connectiom just froze, while being directly on my own router everything was perfect. As far as I was later told, this is an issue that exists not only on this particular model, but on most, including the more advanced ones. I would have really loved to keep it had it not been for the struggling 2.4GHz. The PlayStation 4 does not support 2.4GHz, and I have two at home in separate locations which at times will both need to be online simultaneously. One is super far from my router, and needed a bit of help. Aside from that, I also own a tablet which is not dual band and thus depends on 2.4GHz If you plan on using the much faster 5GHz only, I do recommend it, otherwise, opt for a better one.

Purchased the Fire for my children and they love it. It has already gone through a few falls and the case has done an outstanding job both indoors and out.

The earpiece, mic and speaker are all guarded by a rubber flap to prevent water from entering these sections. However, this muffles the sound of the speaker and makes it hard for others to hear you on their end due to the blockage of the mic. Lastly, mine was unfortunately slightly defective and allowed water to enter the case when tested using the instructions for testing.

Excellent storage for the PS Vita. Although the pricing isn't exactly the best, and many would like to see a higher storage capacity for it, it is a great option for those who prefer digital copies rather than on the mini cartridges.

can you wall mount this tv? thank you
I assume not. There aren't any holes for wall mounting, and the instructions did not mention it either.

Looking at a replacement set for a bedroom. This will also be used to play video games. Is a LED t.v., like this one, good, or is a LCD t.v. better?
LED has a better contrast than LCD (darker blacks, not much washed out colors, etc), but LCD is said to last longer. For the price, the picture quality is amazing for games as far as I have experienced so far.

As in a smart TV? No. There is a 32inch variant WITH the Roku TV built in which is currently at $199.99 at Best Buy.

What is the weight?
Not exactly sure, but TRUST ME it is very light. Much more lighter than my old 26" Westinghouse.

Does this TV have a game mode (a setting/mode where graphics and visual smoothness are sacrificed for a better response time)?
It DOES have a Game Mode. There is a quick toggle button for it on the controller. I thought it was for the colors like other TVs, but it seems to be for what you mentioned. Games on PC have a slightly less input lag when I turn it on, but no effect on the PS4 (obviously console gaming = less worrying about VSYNC, etc). But it does indeed have the feature.

Yes, both legs seen in the images are included and 4 screws (2 for each). You will need a standard small Philips screwdriver.

Going to college soon, will connecting this to my desktop allow my computer to connect via wifi? My university doesn't provided an Ethernet connection. Thanks!
Yes. It would be best to have a USB 3.0 port, but honestly since the best we get is around 3 megabytes on average high speed wifi's, 2.0 should be just fine as long as you have a decent desktop.

Will this work with Intel's Compute Stick
The compute stick has only one usb port. if the insignia hub has no 5V source other than the compute stick's usb port , providing current to 4 more ports may be too much
I used it on my Lenovo Ideacentere Stick and so far very satisfied with it.

Can I use a keyboard with this?
Yes. I wanted a Bluetooth keyboard to avoid hogging the only USB port with a wired one or a wireless one with the transceiver, but most Bluetooth keyboards available run for $100 or so, and I read some users on forums mention that using the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi simultaneously causes issues, so instead I opted in for Best Buy's Insignia multi usb port hub (4 usb port splitter) along with their Insignia wireless keyboard (together that's about $35 w/o taxes). To avoid buying batteries for the keyboard, I also purchased rechargable AA batteries that comes with the wall charger (another $15).
