Very good but not perfect

First off, the mouse is wonderful. It's weight is perfect for me. I do lots of video editing, and it is accurate. The keyboard however has these strange curved keys, and they are way too big and close to each other. I make lots of mistakes typing, because I am used to keys spaced apart a bit more.
If it is on sale, I would recommend this set.

Great upgrade from the original controller
on April 7, 2017
Posted by: needa916

Verified Purchase:Yes
My original XBOX One controller used to crackle and pop when listening to audio using the headphone jack. This new one is perfect. No audio issues, possible due to the longer range it can handle. Also, it seems to be higher quality compared to my original controller. The skin on it is more grippy, and the buttons don't stick like on the original. Overall good purchase.
Pros:
Great range
Good audio quality via the headphone jack
Better quality compared to original
Was on sale
Cons:
White needs cleaning often compared to black
Overall quality still needs to improve. Buttons and controls are not as "tight" as PS4 controller.

Now it's perfect

Just a week ago, I would've given this four stars. Today, there was a update which fixed the awful remote control. Now that the remote control is working as it should, I highly recommend this. I would say it is not worth it if all you want to do is Stream media. But if you want a very fast streaming box which will also play games, there is no beating this.

It works
on June 24, 2016
Posted by: needa916
from So Cal
Verified Purchase:Yes
I use 3 motion sensors for various purposes, and most of the time it is to turn on lights when I enter the room at a certain time of the evening. It works every time, so I gave it 5 stars. I of course have the Smartthings hub, along with some connected lights allowing me to automate some lights. I also did not know this thing has a temperature sensor in it - so bonus points for that.
There are some negatives if you want to call it that - he sensor is very sensitive. It picked up my boys playing from the living room and kept turning the light on. I had to disable that feature. But being overly sensitive isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Very good TV for the price

Verified Purchase:Yes
I got this TV as part of the black friday xbox bundle. It is definitely the best looking image in the house. The 40" is perfect for a small gameroom. Sound is great. I recommend tuning some of the brightness settings prior to use. There is a HDTV calibration tool in Xbox which allows you to tune it for best picture. Or hook up a Chromecast to it and play a video and calibrate it to your liking. Just turn down the backlight, contrast and sharpness, etc.. Takes 5 minutes and the picture looks great. ABC, CBS, and NBC look great on it. I think Fox broadcasts at 720p - great for sports but it doesn't look that pretty. The PBS stations also don't look that nice. If it's on sale, I highly recommend this TV.

Very good soundbar

Verified Purchase:Yes
Not sure why this soundbar isn't rated higher. I got it for a smaller room, and it blows away the TV speakers. I hooked up a spare sub to it and movies sound great. Keep in mind, this is a small room. I tried it in a larger room and when hooked up to my TV via optical, the sound was a bit too low even at highest volume. The bluetooth is a plus. Definitely worth $50.

Cannot believe what a great phone for the price!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have a 2 yr old higher-end Motorola phones. This one is almost just as nice. I got it for my dad, and I should've got one for myself just to have around. They were $10 at one time. I would easily pay $50 or $60 for this phone. These are factory unlocked but Verizon does something to them to force you to use it on their network. I followed some simple instructions on XDA forums to unlock it for T-Mobile. This phone is fast and smooth. Plus it has an micro-SD card slot. I stuck in a 32gb card and now it's a perfect phone for anyone. There is some Verizon cr@p-ware loaded, but otherwise, it is a pure Android experience. Highly recommended!

Several small issues with the game
on December 29, 2015
Posted by: needa916
Verified Purchase:Yes
Most of Forza 6 career is just not fun. It is frustrating. Although the speedometer says you are going fast around corners, it feels slow. The tires on most of the cars lack grip. It is frustrating in the lower classes. They got rid of some good tracks, like the flowing Mugello, Suzuka, etc. and replaced them with tracks like Yas Marina - which is frustratingly tight in some places with long straights. Even the good tracks such as Road America have these insanely tight chicanes (mimicking real-life) slowing down the fun. Combine that with 24 cars on the track at once,and it is a crash-fest. The drivatars (which mimic real-life players) are DUMB. I can easily win in the rain on the hardest difficulty on Silverstone because all of them crash out, but it is virtually impossible to win against them on some tracks. There is a problem with the #1 guy running away from the field, but the game developer has yet to address the issue. They also hit the brakes in the strangest places, like on a straight or on oval tracks, so it's virtually impossible to have any close racing. I cannot comment on multiplayer since I haven't been online yet.
Now for the good: The game is gorgeous! The sounds are awesome. The rumbling V8s and the shrieking Ferraris all raise the fun factor. There are some gems in here such as racing against the Stig in similar cars. Also, some of the old F1 cars and some old muscle cars are a lot of fun. I've spent several hours just admiring the cars and sounds, and taking some rare crs which I will never own, for a spin.
I think it would be a perfect game if I had a wheel with force-feedback, plus a simulator cockpit to mimic real-life on the track. But a lot of us play with a controller on the couch with the TV screen several feet away. Trying to mimic real cars on real tracks with realistic physics just doesn't work for me. If you play like me - with a controller on the couch, turn down the difficulty (the Pro setting is decent and you will win most races usually on the last corner of the last lap), check out the Forza forums and download some tunes for your cars. If you are a real car nut like me, I highly recommend this game. If you are a casual gamer, then there are too many little problems for this game to be much fun for you.

What more can I say other than what's already been said about this console. If you like the games on Xbox One, then buy the console. The Black Friday deals were great and this was part of a TV bundle since i needed the TV. I only have a few games now, but it is a noticeable upgrade from the 360.

Quality of the OTA receiver?

We live ~40 miles from the local antenna farm, so tuner quality is a must (attic antenna). How does the tuner in this Samsung stack up to other TV's?
I never received signal on some channels on my old TV. But when I hooked up the new TV - same location, same HD antenna, I got a lot more channels.

Can I use my SIM card from my Nokia phone

If your Nokia phone has a micro-SIM then yes. If you have one of those older SIM cards that's fairly large, then you need to contact T-Mobile to convert the sim to a micro-sim.

what is the deal on the plan ???

and how does it work...
You can either buy some minutes for a pre-paid account, or do what I did and just stick an existing SIM card into this phone and use it like any other phone. If you have one of the older SIM cards, you'll need to convert it to a micro-SIM and that may cost you $15.
