A new fashion of health wearable
on May 3, 2023
Posted by: Wishkid
The Oura ring is the new fashion wearable health tracking device. This ring I have to say is beautiful and is very well constructed. If you don't mention it, no one will know it is a smart ring. Before I got my ring, I first received a finger measuring kit. Once I figured the size of my finger I went ahead and ordered the actual ring. Setting up was simple once you have downloaded the Oura app. There is no science to this, it is like wearing a smartwatch but in a smaller and more comfortable version. The ring itself is so light that I can’t believe it is made of titanium. The inside has few sensors that you can see them glowing randomly if you pay attention. It is comfortable and doesn’t feel different from any other ring.
Just like other health wearables this ring will measure heart rate, track your sleep, oxygen level, steps and calorie burned. The Oura app is easy to use and has good insightful information. It is kind of similar to others but it goes a little more in depth. I really like the readiness section and the information it provides to get you ready for the day. Pretty much all the measurement reading from this ring is very similar to my smartwatch. I have been wearing both the ring and a smartwatch to compare the data between the two and they are pretty much similar. They are just off by a fraction. Another thing where this ring stands out is not just the beauty but the battery life. It has a rechargeable battery and it will last an entire week. I tested that and it did in fact last a week without charging. That's impressive for a device that is constantly on 24/7 and has such a small footprint. I really love the fact I don’t have to constantly charge it every night.
This ring is also water resistant. I have taken showers, washed dishes and washed my hands throughout the day without removing the ring and it performs flawlessly. As any other piece of jewelry over time they will show signs of scratches, this ring is not immune to that. My experience has been positive. I don't see myself not wearing the ring as it feels natural and is easier to wear compared to a smartwatch. The only con I found is that you have to pay a monthly subscription if you want full insight of your data. You can get similar information from other wearables with no additional cost but the upfront for the device. With this you have to do both.
Overall this is a beautiful creative fashion of health wearable. It is small, extremely light, l feels less intrusive and it looks beautiful. It comes in different colors and sizes. It has an outstanding battery life. If you don’t mind the monthly subscription you will love it. In the box you get the ring, charging base, USB-C cable, and manual.

Racing games at a different level
on May 3, 2023
Posted by: Wishkid
The Thrustmaster T128 racing wheel will take your racing game to the next level. This wheel is very well constructed. Despite being mostly made of plastic, the wheel does feel good on the hands and is not as slippery as you may think. This wheel does come with a set of pedals (brake and accelerator). Putting it together was very simple, plug and play for the most part. This wheel works with PC/PS4 and PS5. It connects via USB-A cable. If you connect this to the PC I recommend you head over to the manufacturer website and download the drivers and software for better performance and compatibility.
Every time you turn on the device that the wheel is connected to, it will conduct and self alignment by spinning several times. On the front of the wheel you have access to all the PS buttons and the engine light. I played several games on my PC and it definitely was a different experience. It felt like the arcades just needed a seat that moves with the game. Steering felt kind of natural and I say that because the wheel is not the size of an actual steering wheel. However, it was much better playing with this than the remote or keyboard. The paddle shifters are very responsive and they are easy to reach. Now I found myself using the paddle shifter more often in my vehicle after getting used to this wheel.
A is mentioned before this wheel works with the PlayStation 4 and 5. I connected it to my PS5 and it worked fine. However, I went through some hurdles to make it work. I believe the reason was that I was using it on the PC at first and that setting became the default. If you are trying to connect it to the PS5 or 4, the light above the PS button should turn blue. In my case no matter how many times I disconnected and re-tried the light stayed green, meaning it was recognizing it as a PC. If you have that issue follow these steps: when the wheel is connected to your PlayStation press and hold the mode button for 5 seconds until the light above the PS button starts flashing. Keep holding the mode button and then press right on the directional pad until you see the light turn blue, then release the button. That should get you setup for your PlayStation.
Playing Gran Turismo with this wheel and the PSVR is totally a different ball game. You are in the driver seat. Great experience. As with the PC the wheel is very responsive with the PS5. Despite most of my experience being positive there were a few things this wheel could have done better on the PS . For instance, more driving feedback. A little vibration when the vehicle is in motion could lead to a better and more realistic driving experience. If you drive straight you will not receive any road feedback unless you turn the wheel. During PS gaming I noticed when impacting another vehicle on the side you will not result in steering feedback, neither going off road. I tried adjusting the sensitivity but got the same results. I noticed the same on PC but that was easily corrected on the wheel settings. Also, be aware where you place the pedal set if you place it on a carpet it will slip. Besides that, this wheel is phenomenal.
Overall, this wheel will change the way you play racing games at home. It easily attaches to pretty much any table. It is very well built, easy to use and set up. In the box you get the Wheel, pedal set, power cable, USB cable and quick setup guide.

The Earth friendly headphone
on April 22, 2023
Posted by: Wishkid
The Sony’s WH-CH520, the earth friendly headphones. First thing you will notice is the packaging. It is light, small, and when you open it you won’t find a lot of stuff inside like we normally use to. The box you can tell immediately is recycled material and it does not contain any plastic packaging inside. In the box you get the headphones, USBC charging cable and some manuals. Setting them up was a breeze, I do appreciate how Sony is implementing such an easy way of pairing their devices with Android and Windows operating systems. Just by turning the headphone on, it will automatically show up on your mobile device or Windows PC and ask if you want to pair it.
The headphone itself is light and it looks simple. On the right ear cups there are 3 buttons with multiple functions. It also houses the mic and the charging port. The buttons are used to control music, summon the assistant and phone calls. This is a budget headphone so don’t expect a premium build. It is mostly plastic and the same goes for the cups foam cover. The cover for the speakers also seems to be made of some type of recycled material. However, don’t be fooled by the looks, they sound pretty darn good for being budget headphone. I was impressed with the sound, it was loud, clear, and with a clean bass. It was not the type of deep base that you’ll get from a more premium headphone but it was good enough for this device.
These headphones also support 360 reality audio. To take advantage of its capabilities you have to use the Sony headphone app. In the app you turn on the 360 audio feature. You have the option to measure your ear size, apparently the app analyzed it and adjust the 360 audio accordingly. To use that feature you’ll have to download a separate 360 reality audio app and create an account as well. I honestly didn’t see the purpose of that app but it was required to be installed to finish the setup for 360 audio. I honestly didn’t notice a difference in sound without the 360 app. Call quality was good as well. Person on the other end was able to hear me loud and clear.
When it comes to batteries they will last a long time. Manufacturer suggest 50hrs of continuous play time and about 200hrs standby. The only negative I found about this headphone is the earcup size. They seem to be made for a person with small ears. I consider myself to have an average ear size not too big or too small. This headphone will not cover my entire ear, you will also notice that the ear cups are not that big compared to some other headphones. Despite their size, they were able to produce a good clean sound, but not the seal you prefer to mask the outside noise especially if you have large ear size. That’s a trade off because this device does not support noise canceling. Another thing I noticed, after prolonged use my ears got a little warm and had a little bit of sweat.
Overall this is not a perfect headphone and if you want close to a perfect device it will come with a higher price tag. For the price you pay for these, you’re getting good earth friendly headphones with good quality sound and great battery life and that’s of course if you don't have large ears.

A Budget gamer Laptop
on April 4, 2023
Posted by: Wishkid
This Asus TUF gaming laptop equipped with AMD Ryzen 7 is a pretty solid budget gaming laptop. At this screen size of 16 inches which is great for portability. It is extremely light for this to be a gaming laptop, and is very well made. This specific model comes with an AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS chip running at 3.20Ghz, 16GB of ram, and 500GB SSD. That keyboard has a backlight which can be customized with the included Armour software but it does not change colors. The track pass is very responsive and smooth. The keys have good feedback and it has the number pad.
The screen is 1080P Full HD with 165hz refresh rate and it supports FreeSync. The screen is very bright with vivid colors. The speaker sounds ok a little bit low for a laptop that supports Hi-Res audio and Dolby Atmos. This device has few ports, not really that many. It has 2 USBA, 2USBC and 1 HDMI. It also has a headphone jack. I tried some of my favorite games to see how they performed, and I was impressed. MK 11 at the highest video settings it performed like a champ. It was consistent at 59FPS. However, this was the game running at 1080p which is the max the laptop supper even using the HDMI.
Overall is a good budget gaming laptop. If you don’t care about 4k this machine will run 1080p with no issues. With the 16 inch screen you can take your gaming on the go. In the box you get the laptop, power cable and manuals.

A truly all round man trimmer
on April 2, 2023
Posted by: Wishkid
The Conair precision trimmer I have to say is very versatile. It can be used pretty much for anything in rewards with personal grooming. It is nicely built, is wireless and comes with plenty of attachments. The trimmer head attachments are made of plastic and metal. They get attached via a magnet. There’s a total of 4, one for the mustache and beard, another for haircut, one for detailing and the last one for nose and ear trimming. A side of that you also get 11 different types of guiding combs. Some of the combs are adjustable. I really like the charging base with the modern style look. It feels like it decor your bathroom. It also stores the trimmer heads.
Charging the trimer is pretty simple by just placing it in the charging base or connecting it directly with the included micro USB cable. While it charges it does a charging animation which is pretty cool. For cutting hair it actually does a good job and it doesn’t pull hairs. The mustache and bear attachment is not so good. I tried detailing my beard and mustache and it didn’t go well. My hair was long enough for the test, and I found it strange that it barely did anything when it comes to detailing. However, I was impressed with the shaving attachment. It actually did extremely well. I shave my head and this has been the closest shave to a razor I have gotten from an electric shaver. The down side was that it took me longer than usual to finish. Another plus is that it can be used in dry or wet applications.
Overall this is a truly all around grooming trimmer that will cover pretty much most of your grooming needs. It comes with plenty of attachments for various applications. It's small and light which makes it perfect for traveling, but unfortunately it didn't come with a travel case. It also holds the charge for a long time. In the box you get the trimer, 4 cutting attachments, 11 guiding combs, charging base, Micro USB cable with charging brick and manual.

The detector that your back
on March 27, 2023
Posted by: Wishkid
The Escort 360 portable radar detector tool does what it is supposed to do to detect radar signals. The device is capable of detecting multiple radar bands K, KA, and X. It comes with a color screen and a small form factor design. I really like how it attaches to the windshield mount with a magnet. It is easy to mount and remove. This radar has built-in GPS and bluetooth connectivity. It has plenty of extra features but you will need to download the companion (Drive Smarter) app to take advantage of it.
I have been using it for the past few days. I can say it does the job well and is accurate when it detects the right signal. I took it for a 6 hour drive across two States and was getting lots of alerts. Lots of them were false to radars. But when you get the right one it is super accurate. It was so accurate it actually pointed to the right direction with the arrows that lights up on the device. I was also getting alerts from radar planes but when I looked up I didn't see a thing. I can’t confirm or deny it was a false alert when it comes to that. This thing was also able to pick up traffic light radars. It is cool how it will display the icon on the screen when you get certain alerts like planes and traffic lights.
With the app you can access the device settings. The device is able to display your current speed and the speed post it on the road. However, for that feature to work the app needs to be running on your mobile device. Once the application is closed you won’t be able to see the road speed limit anymore, only your current speed. The speaker used for the announcer is not the loudest and it is hard to understand. But once you hear the announcements a few times it becomes easier to figure out what it's saying. The alerts are very loud, you won’t miss that for sure. It’s very clever how you were able to mute the alert by pressing a button that’s on the cigarette lighter adapter. I really liked that. The adapter comes with a USB socket so you can charge your mobile device.
Overall this device does work and it’s accurate despite getting many false alerts. Thanks to the alerts arrow that will light up on the device you can easily figure out which direction the laser is coming from. The color screen will also tell you how far and how strong the signal is. It is light portable and easy to use In the box you get the radar detector, cigarette lights adapter, windshield mount, travel case and some manuals

Brew ibn a Fancy way
on March 12, 2023
Posted by: Wishkid
The DeLonghi True Brew coffee maker is a very nicely built machine. Despite it being mostly made of plastic it does in fact look and feel fancy. It is very simple to use but you have to complete an initial setup in which I recommend reading the manual unless you want to figure it out on your own. This machine works with coffee beans and pre-ground coffee. A sample bag of coffee beans was provided in the box and let me tell you, it was good!. You can brew from 3oz all the way to 24oz. It will fit from the small espresso cup to your 24oz thermal mug. The front panel works with touch control buttons, and they are very responsive and it also displays the time. You can choose how strong you want your coffee from light, gold, bold and the special selection over ice and pre-ground. I prefer strong, so I choose bold. I did try the light option and I could definitely tell the difference. On the side it has a large water reservoir and on the top it has the coffee dispenser.
I really like the thinking they put into this machine. When brewing small cups like espresso, there’s a pullout cup holder mid way above the cup tray. That will avoid drop spills when the coffee is being poured, a very neat idea. Cleaning it is very simple. Just pull out the front panel and clean the two storage inside. One will have the used grinded coffee and the other dirty water. That water dispenser will fill up quickly depending how often you use the equipment. If you encounter a flashing red symbol and your machine won't brew it means you need to empty that water container. Another feature most will like is the ability to autostart. Wake up in the morning and your coffee will be ready for you.
This coffee maker sounds like a dream machine but it is not perfect. Something you will notice once you turn it on and when starting to brew some coffee is that it will make noise. Of course this machine grinds coffee beans so it’s understandable that some type of noise will be expected but it is loud. Also there is not an option for hot water only.
Overall this coffee brewer performs extremely well and it is easy to use. With its fancy look it will definitely stand out in your kitchen. The ability to use coffee beans is and pre-ground coffee is a plus. With all the plenty of size options and coffee brewing selection it’s a fit for everyone. In the box you get the coffee maker, sample bag of coffee beans, maintenance solution kit, scoop and manuals.

Stunning Image in a curve style
on March 8, 2023
Posted by: Wishkid
This Samsung G7 Neo 4K monitor is a very well made monitor and so versatile that it can be used for any other applications besides gaming. The monitor came nicely packed. It is 32 inches but is heavy and a bit bulky around the center. It is very easy to setup and the included stand was simple to attach. Behind the monitor you have two HDMI connections, 1 DPI, 2 USB ports, 1 USB type B and a headphone jack. This monitor is rated at 165hz refresh with 1ms response time. I usually play games on my 120hz TV but after using this monitor I immediately notice the difference. During my COD game play @ 120hz it was definitely much better on this monitor than the TV. The game was super crisp and smooth with no image lag whatsoever. I was really impressed. Despite it being a smaller screen I was actually playing much better.
The color reproductions are very bright and vivid, which makes it also great for media viewing. The monitor supports picture in picture (PIP) so you can view two things at once. Adjusting the height and angles is very easy and smooth. The spiral in the back lights up and front corners. The lights can be adjusted or it can react based on the content displayed on the monitor. This monitor has no speaker but it has a headphone jack. I tried connecting my wireless headset using one of the USB but it didn't work. The wired one did work with no issues.
The menu button is on the bottom of the monitor. The menu itself was very easy to navigate. I just wished those buttons were in different location or they had a little more separation. It will take a bit to get used to. Overall this monitor is great for gaming and the size it's actually perfect. With 165hz and 1ms response time, you'll play shooter games like a champ. Video images are stunning thanks to the support of HDR10 and the great color reproduction. Unfortunately it does not support Dolby Vision. In the box you get the monitor, power cable, stand, USB cable and manuals.

LG did Well!
on February 16, 2023
Posted by: Wishkid
The LG Tone Free fit are great earbuds with minimalist design. These earbuds appear to be simple but they pack a ton of features. A cool feature that I never seen before is that when the earbuds are in the case charging, the case reduces bacteria on the speaker mesh of the earbuds. Paring them up to the phone was relatively easy. When you open the case it automatically becomes discoverable. To take advantage of all the features you must download the free LG Tone app.
The application has an interactive owner’s manual that walks you through the proper way of wearing the earbuds, the earbuds control buttons, the different color light meaning on the case and the ambient sound and noise canceling feature. The app also allows you to change the equalizer settings. The available settings are immersive, bass boost, 3D sound stage, natural and treble boost.
The sound quality of these earbuds is good, but I was more impressed with the call quality. It is phenomenal. When you use them to make a call the sound is so clear that the person at the other won't notice that you're using earbuds. They sound like you talking from the actual phone. These buds come with noise canceling as well and it's great. They are also comfortable to wear. Battery life on these earbuds is rated 10hrs plus additional 20hrs with the charging case.
Overall these are impressive earbuds for the price tag. You get good sound, outstanding call quality, noise canceling plus a bunch of other features in a minimal design. LG has done well. In the box you get a USB-A to USB-C charging cable, a USB-C to auxiliary cable, and earbud tips.

The closest to prescription hearing aids
on December 23, 2022
Posted by: Wishkid
Sony's CRE-E10 I have to say it has impressed me. They are nicely built in a minimal design and very discrete. Whoever sees you wearing them will not think they are hearing aids, as they look just like regular earbuds. That's what I like the most. The actual devices are tiny, like they are almost concealed within your ears. Setting them up should be easy if you get them to pair right away. I had little issues paring them to my Pixel 7 pro. You have to download the Sony hearing control app, then follow the directions. Once you get them to pair the app will run a setup and tuning of the hearing aids. What I really like is the actual tuning, it is dedicated to the actual user consisting of several tones frequencies at different volume levels. It is similar to the hearing exam done at the doctors office. Something that I really disliked was that you have to consent to give Sony access to your hearing data for you to be able to use the app. Not only that, it can be shared as your medical record. If you don't consent to it pretty much you won't be able to use the devices with the app.
Once you overcome that hurtle and are done with the initial setup and tuning you will be able to access the device settings. The hearing aids are very light and they fit nice and snug in the ear. They also feel comfortable just like regular earbuds. It comes with the small sleeve already installed. If those sleeves do not fit you well, it comes with three extra ones in the box XS/M and Large. I used the one that came with it as it fit well for me. To turn on the devices all you have to do is pull them out of the charging case and to turn off, just place them back. They sound really good and one of the best part is how some of the natural sounds blend in to make these hearing aids sound more natural. It does feel kind of clogged because you have to plug them in the ear of course and it has some type of noise canceling. Like other hearing aids I tried you can definitely hear your own voice when talking and that is something that I don't like. Besides that they are just great. I can actually hear those high frequencies that I can’t hear without jeopardizing the other sounds. I was able to watch TV with the volume at level 3.
With the app you can adjust the volume, treble/bass and the directions you want to hear. During the setup you can adjust the loudness individually. The directional hearing is actually pretty amazing. If you focus on the front that's exactly where it will focus and you will notice the difference. I do prefer the auto function because the hearing feels more natural and balanced. Each hearing aid lasts about 26 hrs of continuous use according to the manufacturer and 21 if you use it with music streaming. Yes, these hearing aids support music streaming and phone calls via bluetooth. The downside is that it is only supported by the iPhone. Hopefully that gets fixed with a software update to support other operating systems than iOS.
Now a little bit about that charging case. It is very small, which is great. You won’t feel a huge bulge in your pocket. It is Not only small, it also has an internal battery to charge your hearing aids on the go. It charges via USB-C and the cable is included. It supports wireless charging. If you own a phone that supports reverse wireless charging you will not have any problem charging your hearing aids. Manufacturer suggests the case holds two full charges. I don't know exactly how much that is in hours but I assume it is a lot.
Overall these are by far one of the best hearing aids I have tried. Is the closest you can get to prescription hearing aids over the counter in my opinion. They not only sound great but also come with plenty of features that will definitely warrant the high price. In the box you get the hearing aids, charging case, USB-C cable, extra sleeves, cleaning kit and user manuals.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I really wanted to fall in love with it
By Anonymous from Fort Worth, TX
At the time I'm posting this, the Wi-Fi model ships with broken Books and YouTube apps (major advertised features). Motorola support said it's a known issue and an update is coming soon, but if they didn't catch this in testing it makes me worry about what else they missed. Researching online it seems this issue may only affect models Best Buy carries. Android has some great features but for a tablet that on paper is so much more powerful than an iPad I'd expect to be able to scroll down a page without jitters. The screen feels/looks inferior to iPad, in my opinion. Whites colors have a nasty yellow tint.

Looks good on paper
By Sam313 from Westland, Mi.
After spending $200 on a router you would expect a great working device, sadly to say that hasn't been my experience with this device. It is constantly dropping wireless connection and that was the main reason I ditched my old one.
I went through tech support trying to see if they even had a clue as to what could be wrong, but all they would offer was a reset, launch the router in rescue mode, upload latest firmware. This equals to the same poor results. I replied back telling them I have the same issues and they simply say (and I quote) " Your information has been documented and forwarded to the appropriate contacts for further review and improvement. " Meanwhile I'm left with a 200 dollar brick.
I'm going to exchange it for another one hoping I have a defective device.

Sam313, i had the same issue with previous routers, this might help, is you have a wireless home phone 5.GHz make sure they are wireless router friendly, those phone tends to interfere with the signal and dropped your router connection hope this might help it work for me after i replaced the phone.

Excellent Performance and Range
By Wishkid from Florida
I was very skeptical about this router even though after much research since Asus was not actually a router builder. I have owned this device for about 3 month and it has prevailed very well after the few hiccups at the beginning. First thing first if you buy this router make sure you update the firmware, that was one of the main issues I had in the begging after setup, some of my connections were dropping and that’s due to faulty firmware, I even though about returning it. After upgrading the firmware it took two of them, and the issue was gone. Second if your familiar with router setup use the advance setup not the wizard, I tried that and it was a pain in *** I could not get connected to the internet no matter what, so I end up resetting the router and do it the old fashion way advance mode, after that no issues. Another thing other has mention this router does get hot you don’t need to touch after setting it up but is something to mention since I experience it when removing some of the hard drive I have connect it to it.
Pros: Range is excellent this was one of the reason I replace my old Linksys E4200. Internet speed and routing are a pro I finally getting HD with no lag streaming two Xbox at the same time. I have over 18 devices connected to this router I it performed like a champ no wonders it cost so much. Cloud service easy to setup and you can access from any were including your phone. The two USB are a PLUS hook up two TB hard drives and your set, no need to store on your device and they are easily accessible. DNLA some people claim is not support it they are wrong, I have use it and it works very well specially if you have android phones and like to stream you can use your router DNLA to do that. Also this router looks bad ** it looks like it was made out of carbon fiber and the Status lights of the front are a plus you can easily know what’s connected and working and what’s not.
The Router Admin setup screen is not the best but not either the worst, there are pros a cons to it, one of the best thing you can see what’s going on in the main page such as clients connected it, USB, cloud, and so on. One thing I personally don’t like is that to setup 2.5 and 5 GHz you have to toggle between the two is not big deal but they could of make it simple to do it in one location. Another thing that is missing is the ability to hide guest SSID if there is an option I have not found it. Also you cannot rename clients connected to it, that’s something I really missed from the Linksys I could rename the client so I could easily identify what was connected to the router. Everything else such as setup a cloud service was very simple. Some more network knowledgeable people can take advantage of the advance power options this router has such as the QoS traffic management and other.
Overall this router does what it is intend to do, it cost a lot but you get what you paid for, and if you do research on this router will still come up as one of the best when it comes to performance. I highly recommended, and I’m very happy with my purchase.

Update 4/16/2013
April 16, 2013
After I left my initial review few days later Router went bad, I honestly don't know what cause it. The router was not connecting to the web even though it was connect it to the modem, when browse internet could not find page after few refresh it work then it goes bad again, it happened wireless and also hardwire I performed some troubleshooting and firm updates but no luck. I would really recommend if you going to spend the money on this router you may want to purchase the warranty service from Best Buy it will save you any hassle in the future since you can take it to the store and get a new one. I received an RMA within 24hrs that wasn't so bad, the worst is that you have to send the router to them and pay for the shipping one way, they well send it back to you after repair and ground service I send it air 3 days service, that's awful service after speeding so much on this router. Any way RMA will take approx. 3 weeks according to them so if this router is your primary you will be out of luck, luckily my modem support WIFI. This comment will not by any means regret my purchase is an electronic device and they can go bad, this just an update since I cannot over write my initial review, I learn my lesson next time if you going to spend a lot of money on high end device pay the extra cash on BB warranty, you may not use it but look my situation now I have to wait 3 weeks to get a replacement, the router went bad approx. 3 month after purchased seen similar to other negative reviewers. But overall the router does what it supposed to do when is working. Knock one Star out for the awful warranty support, so it will be 4/5 stars.

Update2 5/14/2013
May 14, 2013
Finally received my router yes it took long time. Let me start by giving this router 5* stars and here is the reason why: Today 5/14/13 I received a new router not a refurbish but a new router in the box with everything. When I hooked it up guess what same issue started again so now in really convince is not the router nor the Modem. I was trouble shooting this thing for almost 5 hours until finally got the solution. If you have Comcast and you have the triple play you may received a modem Arris TG862 which act as a modem and wireless router. That being said, make sure you are using a Ethernet cable Cat5e( included with the Asus router) minimum Cat6 better, that will enable the T1000 connection between your router and the modem but that was not the problem. The whole problem was with the ISP all along the TG862 modem act as a router so when you connect your Asus router to that modem it will start having issues obtaining DHCP address. That's why it was dropping my internet connection because it was dropping the WAN because it could not renew or obtain that DHCP address. How did it notice going into the Asus router Log screen you will see many times WAN connection stopped then try to re-start. How to fix that call Comcast and tell them to turn the routing feature OFF from the modem and turn it into BRIDGE mode. That will let the Asus router to the routing and will fix that connectivity problem hope this help others in the future.

I seen the 4K picture in store and it looked awesome. But when I got the TV home and seen the screen in regular 1080 resolution I regretted it immediately. My friend bought the Samsung 65" 1080P 240hz the same day for $2500 cheaper and his picture and features are a lot better in my mind. I actually think my TV I replaced with this (samsung 58" plasma) had a better picture also. Disappointed!

Best of the Best
By Boomer from Houston, TX
This is my 6th Sony television and the best yet! This TV is an upgrade from my Sony 60" 1080p set. I love being on the cutting edge of television technology! Easy to set up and more apps than you will ever need. I also pre-ordered the 4k player. Hopefully it comes soon. The picture is astonishing! The 3D is unbelievable. What precise 3D should be. So much better than with absolutely no shadowing. Watching Avatar, the little flying creatures look like they are in your room. So much so, that you are truly tempted to reach out and grab one. I compared this tv with several others and Sony has the best picture, features, etc. Best Buy makes you comment using a minimum of 50 characters. Let me just sum it up with one word "WOW"!

Great features but dark scene performance kills it
By ErickRPG
I purchased a 75" because I wanted to upgrade when my 70" panel failed. The bright scene performance is amazing, even on 1080p blu rays. But because of the IPS edge lit panel when it is a dark scene the bad contrast ratio really shows. Lots of grey and it's very dull and washed out. I had read that this TV was slightly better in all ways than my LG 70LB7100. But to be honest with you, I think the 3D in this set is actually not as good as my old 1080p LG. And I think the blacks were even just a tad bit better on the older TV. When I say 3D it just feels as if the 3D does not pop out as impressively as the old set. There is no crosstalk. I ended up sacrificing screen size and went with the 65" OLED because black level performance on this set is horrid.

I do not think so, because the pads use for this robot has a tab attached to it that slides underneath it the device. Now be advise that iRobot makes washable cloth for this device and they can be purchase from them directly or here at BestBuy.

It will depends on how you use it. Heavy use will last around a full day(not watching movies). Average use mostly use on/off here and there may last a 1 or 2. Minimal used the battery last me almost a week just turning on read some email and do some online stuff. I'm on my second day at the time of writing this response with 85% battery. To answer your question Playing movies will last around 8hrs as other reviewers have said the same, I tried it before and is about right.
