Nice upgrades, noticibly slimmer!

What can a person say other than it is a true PS4 slim for a good price. Buying the new PS4.5 (PS4 Plus) is a waste of thev $100 extra unless it's used with a 4k TV. How many people have those? There are very few 4k games or TV programming
and cable TV is mostly 480p and some 1080p (true HD). Cable still is inferior HD to free over the air (antenna). Who
Knows by the time shows & cable catch up to 4k & 3D, Android boxes, like Nvidia Shield TV, may own serious gaming.
Very serious gamers use gaming pics & small gaming/media streaming TV boxes are evolving well.

I have owned this TV for a few weeks now. Wanted to give it plenty of time before writing a review.
PRO's:
This is a great TV overall. Picture is gorgeous. Crystal clear, and the 4K content looks amazing. Extremely happy with the picture quality. I don't use the built in speakers as I have a surround sound system, but when testing they sounded great.

Remote seems to be a bit of an issue for some, but I found it to be quite impressive for what appears to be limited functionality. It connected with my TiVo, and once you get used to it (play around with it) you will find you can do most of what you need/want; however I have a universal remote I use for everything so its not really a big problem for me.
CON:
The only issue I have, and the reason I don't give it 5 stars, is there is an issue with its wireless connection. It connects to my wireless network, content plays fine, and 4K looks great. But if the TV has been off, it won't automatically connect. EVERY time I have to setup a new connection, choose my network and enter password. It connects right away and I have not had any issues with getting it connected, but its a process that must be done EVERY SINGLE TIME you turn on the TV. That tends to make it a bad experience at times. Not the end of the world though, and I am hopeful that a future firmware update will address this. I have other friends who have Samsung TV's and they also have the same issue so it seems to be a "known issue" with them.

I have tried using 5GHz and 2.4 GHz, hidden and broadcasted SSID. Statically setting IP settings and DNS, of course rebooting my router and ensuring it has the latest firmware. Nothing will make this TV connect automatically. I must setup each time...
Overall this TV is a great buy though and I would recommend it to someone looking for a great TV without breaking the bank.

I'm a few weeks in and everything still works great! Even bought another of this model for my mother. Don't forget to update the drivers on Lenovo's site and spring for an extra 8gb of RAM and you're all good for home computing.
So far, so good. Bought the Toshiba C-75 laptop and had problems so decided to go with Lenovo. Also bought 8gb extra ram for $35 here on amazon and it run as quick as anything (don't forget to go to Lenovo site to download latest drivers for this model, it helps)/ With Lenovo and RAM, it was still cheaper than the toshiba, which has even gone up in price $40 since I bought it (crazy). Love this one so far, keeping fingers crossed.

Perfect addition to any kitchen!

We are big fans of KitchenAid. We went to mix the simple ingredients for a cheesecake to today and it wouldn't come on. I tried everything and finally jiggled the mixer head and it came on. However it made this grinding noise and the motor sound went on and off and up and down. It sounded like it was dying. I tried to get the project done while doing whatever it took to keep it running. It sounded awful and while setting it on one speed, it would speed up and slow down erratically. It's a very simple device and obviously the gear box it shot (at the very least). Naturally the 1 year warranty is over so I called the factory to see about repair. The bottom line is that it will cost more to ship and fix than to buy a new one. I like KitchenAid, and I agree that I may have just gotten a defective one, but this is really not cool. I just recently replaced a small KitchenAid food processor that died and that was not acceptable at all either. Worse still is that when I called the manufacturer about the repair options, they tried to Up Sell me on a new one instead of being embarrassed by their failure. I will probably replace it with another but I'm upset that a brand that prides itself on quality could allow themselves to look so cheesy.
