Fantastic and stylish Mod

Simple, aesthetically pleasing and easy to use. For the price, it is awesome to be able to have both major wireless charging standards on a single cell phone. The corduroy-design looks sharp, but is slightly more slippery than the 1st Gen MOTO Z's woodgrain blank Style Shell.
If you have a compatible phone, I definitely recommend this shell!
(Note: I tried wireless charging with my Qi-enabled Nokia Lumia charging pad. Charger pushed about 20% in 20 minutes. Not too bad, reall!

Fantastic 1080p TV for smaller rooms

Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm rarely moved to write a review for a product these days. This TV has proven to be among the rare few that I feel have earned a little of my time to write about them.
I picked up a "Version: XC43" model of this televsion (this information can be found on the UPC label on the thin side of the product's box) at my local Best Buy yesterday. It replaced a smaller (and older) Samsung Touch of Color T260HD TV/PC monitor that has served me well for almost 8 years now.
I unpacked the TV and found that it needed 7 screws to be used to attach the base and its connector to the main panel of the unit. While doing this, I found that the base for this TV is quite solid and provides a really nice, low-profile, set of "feet" for the TV to rest on.
The physical aesthetic of the television is modern and sleek and the base is part of that design consideration.

While setting up the television, I connected it to an indoor Over-the-Air (OTA) antenna to receive broadcast HDTV signals.
Upon turning on the TV for the first time, I was walked through an easy-to-follow set of instructions to configure the TV's Wifi network connection, read the (quite-lengthy) privacy notice and SmartHub terms of use, then watched as the TV used the antenna to discover about 25 local OTA channels. With that complete, the TV was ready to go!
The screen, itself, is gorgeous. Even without calibration, I am surprised at the nearly night-and-day difference in picture quality between an older Samsung 1080p screen and this new one. OTA HD channels are crisp and clear. The audio on the TV is pretty decent for a TV without a connection to an external home theater receiver and surround sound speakers. This is quite usable for a small office or a bedroom or even a study (if your home should have one).
I also connected a Playstation 4 console to the HDMI port. It's quite nice to turn the TV and flip through channels then have the TV switch to the HDMI1 port when I power on the PS4 via its controller. Easy, seamless transitions like that are classy and helpful.
I haven't had a chance to try out the SmartHub functions just yet, but if they are anything like the rest of the TV's interface, I am confident that the experience of using the apps on the TV will be just as pleasant as the rest of my experience has been.
The "TL;DR" version: Don't hesitate to spend a little extra for this TV. You definitely get what you pay for with this device.

Does this tv have a headphone jack that can be used for wireless headphones or to plug in a speaker? What about security for online viewing?

Does this TV support the app 'SlingTV'?
I checked the "SmartHub" app store and did not find a SlingTV app. You would need another device like a Roku, Amazon FireTV, Google Chromecast, or something like them to use the app on the TV. Xbox One also supports it (I'm not sure about Playstation since I don't use SlingTV myself right now).

Can you adjust (or force) the aspect ratio from 16:9 into 4:3, on the HDMI inputs? I have a couple of old game consoles designed for old TV's in 4:3 aspect ratio, and they are plugged into an HDMI converter box that unwantingly defaults to 16:9.

Could you tell me the height of this TV?
Hi Michelle,
From the product page:
Product Height With Stand: 18.6 inches
Product Height Without Stand: 16.7 inches
I hope that this helps! I did just measure my own TV and the height, with stand, is roughly 18.5" so the specs on the product page are accurate on that measurement, at least!

I understand that the diagonal screen size is 31.5 inches, however, what are the perimeter measurements of the actual television device frame, i.e. width and depth as i want to know if it will fit onto a particular space?
From the Best Buy product page (slightly rearranged for easier reading):
Dimensions
Product Height With Stand: 18.6 inches
Product Height Without Stand: 16.7 inches
Product Depth With Stand: 8.2 inches
Product Depth Without Stand: 2.6 inches
Product Weight With Stand: 11.2 pounds
Product Weight Without Stand: 10.4 pounds
Width: 28.4 inches
