No Wi-Fi Here, faster wired connection.

I have a full line of Samsung products, they are tops. This Streaming 4K Ultra HD Wired Blu-Ray Player is great, there's NO, reloading the buffer right in the middle of the movie here and wired is always faster than Wi-Fi. test it yourself, use a speed test on a laptop using Wi-Fi, than connect a Ethernet cable to your router and the laptop and test again.

Simply to use, just plug into a 3.0 USB port for the fastest speed or can be used in a older standard USB port. Install software, select files to back-up and Hourly (Default), Weekly (pick your day and Time) also there's a monthly option. And than forget it, all the selected files will be there back-up and there should they be needed. I also use it for storage of files, I just copy or move them there for faster access without having to use restore function.

Guardians are giant mechanical beasts that roam the kingdom of Hyrule in search of prey. These monstrous machines are capable of firing deadly lasers at a certain Hylian hero with startling accuracy...and will do just that if he draws near. Link will have to use all of his courage and skill if he's to best these strange creatures on his journey to save Hyrule.

Great compact ROKU Player, listed as a streaming stick, has all the features of a Player. And yes it's a stick, looks like a big USB Flash Drive. The difference is that you plug this into a HDMI port and the power cord can be plugged into a USB power rated port (My Set-up) or use the adapter into any wall outlet. Full HD features, 5 ghz Wi-Fi, and set-up online is like all ROKU's, sign-in or set-up an account, connect device to account and enjoy......
We have it connected to a UHD 4k HDR+ 60", Great Picture, full sound and the audio is run to the Home Theater system off the TV, for added sound effects. simply put great streaming.....

Whirlpool 20.5 Cu. Ft. Top-Freezer Refrigerator: Enjoy crisp, fresh food for longer with the FreshFlow system and humidity-controlled drawers in this top-freezer refrigerator. The Flexi-Slide bin lets you customize your space as needed, and energy-efficient LED lighting illuminates the entire interior so you can grab items and go when you're in a hurry.
 

A fridge was delivered to me on 2/17/18, model WRT311FZDW. The doors did not have to be changed in any way. There is a 1.25 inch deep hole on the top of the door which I believe needs a door hinge hole plug. Shouldn't this be included?

yes, there should be caps in all empty holes

Experience immersive entertainment options with this Sony 4K Blu-ray player. Its Ultra HD resolution provides exceptionally detailed screen images with increased brightness and more realistic color, and its support of Dolby Atmos and DTS:X provides cinema-quality sound. This Sony 4K Blu-ray player supports high-resolution audio formats for more accurate music reproduction and optimized for custom installation.
 

I notice, from the picture, that the unit does have an optical audio out that is not listed under the specs. Does the optical out carry the same signal as the digital coax out? Can you use either one? Is one better than the other?

You can use the Optical out for the audio if you have an older AV system, but with the HDMI cable being the only other option to connect to a AV system or the TV that's your best, Best set-up for both picture and the audio..

The wifi card in my older MacBook is fried, will work as a substitute???

Now I disable all but my LAN in device setting for the adapter's, so I have to say yes. It should replace the internal Wi-Fi once it's installed.

In order to enjoy the 4k screen does everything need to be in 4k or is it still superior to a regular screen ?

4k looks beyond great, but it's just as great with HD, it looks great to.... much deeper picture all around, sharply clear..
