A dead groundhog
on June 14, 2017
Posted by: mike545
from Slatington, pa
Just another High School flick. Four rich girls treat everyone badly. One of them even treats her parents and little sister exactly like she treats the other High School students - she groundhogs the same day, until she sees her reflection within her mind and wonders if she is a good person. THAT'S IS IT! Everyone has seen all of this before.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good surround speaker

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased 3 pair of these speakers. With these speakers, my home theatre is now up to 9.1. The room is not large, so these speakers are perfect.
The sound quality is not excellent, but it is satisfactory.
My Best Buy number: 2223934155

What's great about it: Size, frequency response, sound
What's not so great: lack of lower midrange
I would recommend this to a friend!

5 out of 5Great receiver for the price

Overall not a bad receiver for the price (got mine on sale). Was looking for a networked 7.1+ AVR with airplay support built-in and the possibility of multiple zones.
So far the receiver itself has been working really well with the only issue so far being the remote which could be designed a bit easier (for others to use).
Wish it did composite upscaling/conversion to HDMI allowing it to integrate a bit better with the projector (currently have to run a second line for any legacy composite inputs).

will this receiver upscale 720P to 1080P, as well as, 1080P to 4K?

By fairbairn
This is my second Onkyo receiver. I love their products. What they lack in the "beauty" of their devices or "updated/fresh" interfaces, they more than make up for in their hardware. It's an AV receiver...I don't care if it's all black with a green LED display. This buries other "sleek" models in sheer muscle (maybe the Denon AVR-S710W model aside).
I was actually going to buy the 636 model initially (based in part on The Wirecutter's review) but quickly realized this 646 model would help "future proof" me more.
With three HDMI 2.0/HDCP 2.2 inputs and seven total HDMI inputs, it's hard to go wrong with this model.
Highly recommend it - you won't be sorry.

Does this unit upconvert to 4K; and how good is the upconversion, if it does?

3 out of 5I GOT A BAD ONE
By EXTREMELYFAST
from Madison, WI
I bought the i5 Version first and everything work flawlessly, fast, rotation, speaker, mics camera all work properly, i really like it so i went in and exchange it for the i7 with more storage too, well i got a bad one, the moment i open the box the laptop doesnt even have a charge in the battery, i charge it up, turn on works fine then the speaker blows up, there is no mic detection and voice just dont work, i even enable it in the speaker/recording section. i thought it was a driver but then soon i try to rotate the laptop and it would rotate then freeze i thought it was the freeze rotation turned on but it wasnt and i cant even rotate back i have to restart the laptop. now its booting up and making the static speaker/mic sound, this is a bad one i know for sure that the laptop is good i was just unlucky.

I have to admit, I'm blown away by the udder speed of this 512 SDD! Super fast start ups and very quick shut downs. The lit keyboard is really nice to type on. Keys feel very easy on your digits! All applications open quickly with ease. I like that it's a fully functional monitor that can be folded into many viewing angles.
Amazing sharp contrasting images. Excellent color tone. The glossy monitor is actually easy on the eyes. Does not show as much glare as other glossy monitors. Really nice speakers for a laptop. You could easily watch a movie or listen to music without feeling cheated.
Great track pad. Nice locations for the USB ports. Love it in tablet mode!
Convenient volume up and down buttons on the side like an iPad. Awesome touch screen. So much to love about this computer. Very quiet since you don't have to listen to a fan all the time cooling an HHD.
SSD is all about the speed and safety of your Hard drive if you were to ever drop it. Plus, it's a sharp looking chassis. Couldn't be happier with my purchase... worth every penny. I really shopped around and kept coming back to this model.

Glossy Monitor

I was almost ready to cop this laptop, until you said that it had a glossy monitor. I hate glossy.

5 out of 5The Third Time Was A Mind-blowing Charm
By PCNinChicago
After being unsatisfied with the picture quality from a set priced about $2K less from another vendor, we decided to take the plunge because what we saw in the stores was just incredible.
As advertised, the picture was AMAZING in our living room. What I did not expect was how thin it was (which was actually the reason we bought the other vendor's product initially). What a nice surprise.
Unfortunately, a week later, the HDMI 1 input went dead on us for no reason. The others worked fine but then we tried a 3D movie for the first time and there was severe ghosting/cross-talk. We made the hard decision to dismount and return. Fortunately, they had another 65" in stock so we took it home and discovered at home that the box was punctured (forklift?). We hoped that the set wasn't damaged but that was not the case as we unwrapped. The panel was grotesquely bent and it looked like such a waste.
We took it back the first thing the next morning and picked up another a day later. Nothing but PERFECTION since. Everyone who sees the picture (even just regular 1080p/i sources) exclaims how incredible the picture looks. Blu-Rays just look unfair. I am not sure what I should be seeing for HDR as I don't notice a difference when streaming HDR movies but there is more to come there I am sure. Either way, very happy camper here.

You should consider a larger pair of speakers, not much, but something with a bit more midrange.
