My wife has an iPhone that doesn't have a headphone jack. We bought the Thunderbolt adapter, but it doesn't come with an audio cable! Therefore, if you have an iPhone with no audio out, you will need the Thunderbolt adapter and THIS CABLE!

Versatile! Great for the price!

I spent time online trying to figure out what was the best wall mount for my 55" Samsung 4K TV. I was stymied, though, so I called Samsung. They recommended on of their mounts, but it didn't do what I wanted, so I chatted with Best Buy.
I had seen this mount, and asked about it by model number. After a minute or so, the agent came back and said it would definitely fit my TV.
I liked that it tilted up and back, turned to either side, and came out from the wall 21 or 22". My concern was that would be easy to attach well to the wall and that it could be assembled easily.
It was delivered to my house in about three days, and two of us had it mounted on the wall with the TV attached in about 30 minutes or so (45 at the max).
I love it! It swivels so I can watch it from the dinner table. It sits well against the wall for viewing in the den. I can adjust it for sitting in different chairs and the sofa, if need be.
I highly recommend this wall mount!

Live without limits by choosing this 6.2-inch Samsung Galaxy S8+ smartphone. Its borderless screen displays brilliant colors and sharp images for immersive experiences, and its 10nm processor provides amazing power and speed while improving battery life. The 4GB of RAM in this Samsung Galaxy S8+ smartphone ensures smooth operation, and the microSD slot and 64GB of internal memory provide ample storage.

It's a great size for me with my nearsightedness, and the display is quite clear. The new OS is fast (as is the phone itself) and I like the new functionality and flexibility.
Two minor complaints:
1. I wish the software designers would quit shuffling the location of functions and changing the way functions work (these won't change - it happens in most other products also), and
2. No one has yet come out with a great screen protector (not Samsung's fault). I bought an Otterbox Defender and the case causes the screen protectors to rise up slightly off the display, causing some minor difficulties in operation. Due to the curved screen, glass screen protectors only have adhesive around the edges. Not the best solution.
Otherwise, it is an excellent product!

After buying a different band for this watch, I am VERY happy with it. I love that the watch faces are more elegant than before. I like that it reminds me to get up and stretch if I've been dormant for too long. I can easily add apps, it's easy to recharge, and it tracks my sleep patterns.
It's an excellent addition to my Galaxy S8+!

Tiny USB memory card w/ lots of memory
on May 20, 2017
Posted by: splait
Verified Purchase:Yes
This little guy has 61GB of usable memory, has a tiny profile, and you won't even know it's there! USB 3.0 makes it VERY fast!
I'm using mine to back up my important photos and docs, and I can leave it connected all the time. The very low profile means it won't get bent or broken when I move the computer around.
I plan to get a 256GB model soon to use as a time machine drive.
Perfect!

Best router for large homes
on July 11, 2015
Posted by: splait
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have installed six of these routers in client homes and one in a warehouse space for a business client. The coverage is great, and in spaces where its signal doesn't reach, the AC1200 Netgear range extender works perfectly well with it (just make sure you have the latest and greatest firmware installed in the router).
Installation is easy thanks to Netgear's configuration wizard, and working through the router's menu when I need to is fairly simple. It comes with multiple networks built in, including a Guest net that you can set up so that your kids' friends or your clients or visitors can have access at high speeds without accessing your personal/business networks.
I haven't had to take any of them down for any reason at this point.
I still use Netgear's less powerful N-series routers when I don't need that much power, but as ISP speeds continue to grow, the throughput of the Nighthawk will prove to be useful for a long time.

We bought a 55" MU800d. Where is the on/off button on this tv???? Ours will not turn on with or without the remote. There is a little protrusion on the right hand side underneath next to the stand but it doesn't do anything when pushed or toggled.
No. There are no controllers buttons on the TV.
Have you tried replacing the batteries in the remote? Make sure the batteries are installed properly.
Also, make sure the power cord is plugged in all the way. It can be pretty snug. Make sure the wall outlet is working properly.
Underneath the TV on the right side is a small nub that turns green when the TV turns on. If you can't get that to turn on, you're out of luck and either need to return the TV or get it repaired.
The manual for the TV can be found here:

Bought T.V 2 days ago. TV turns off and restarts automatically. Also, sometimes it freezes when using apps, and I have to shut t.v off and turn on again a couple of times for T.V to work. Does anybody else have this problem? Should I return?
Your TV should act normally. Since it doesn't, you should return it as quickly as possible. I know that isn't easy to do, but mine worked perfectly out of the box, as yours should have.
Before that, consider calling Samsung's support line. Maybe it's a software issue they can fix easily with you over the phone.

Range
What is the Range for this unit as I live in the country and want to provide wifi to my pole barn / work shop that is 80 yards from the house? Do I need a range extender kit with a receiver / booster in the pole barn ?? Thank you
You probably will need some device in the barn, depending on where the router is placed and what's between the router and wherever you will use it in the pole barn.
My recommendation is to bury an Ethernet cable between the router and the barn and put a smaller router like Netgear's N900 router (which you configure in bridged mode to be a Wireless Access Point) in the barn to provide the signal you need. The router you buy for the barn will be dictated by the size of the barn and where you need the signal to be strong. You can buy bulk 500' Ethernet wire in a box (you'll need to buy the plenum cable, not the riser). You'll also need to put cable ends on it, but it is the most reliable connection you can have between two buildings on a farm.
The main issue with a wireless range extender is that the WRE must get a strong enough signal from the router to repeat the signal with reliability. So it may need to be placed between the two buildings, which places it in the weather (plus it will need power).

Would a power line adapter also be beneficial in addition to this?
We have wifi dead zones in our house. We have a single story home, 2000 sq ft, on 1 acre. The family room and back office are weak wifi signals. Even though family room is adjacent to room where router is located, it typically gets only one bar. I can't utilize iPad / iPhone functionality or AV receiver / smart TV capability, such as streaming movies. I am looking at getting this product as well as Netgear Powerline 1200 GB adapter, Model: PL1200-100PAS, to connect to the AV receiver. Would both products be needed?
Iron Chick,
That sounds about right, except I don't think you'll need the Powerline adapter if it can get the extended signal. However, if Ethernet is all it can use (as opposed to wireless), then you WOULD need the Powerline equipment. You just need to know that Powerline devices require that both outlets you plug them into be on the same circuit panel.
