Play games and watch movies on this 65-inch Sony 4K TV. Its full-array local dimming delivers stunning brightness and a more colorful picture with high contrast, and the effective cable management system keeps wires hidden from sight. This Sony 4K TV uses X-Motion Clarity technology for showing smooth, lifelike action during sporting events.

Love this TV
on July 19, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
My wife and I are thrilled with this new Sony X900f. Colors are great and picture is sharp. After all my research I was convinced that OLED was something to stay away from because of burn-in. We are extremely pleased with the Sony UHD LED. I was trying to wait for the micro LED technology but that looks to be too far down the road. This is our first Smart TV and I have it direct wired to our home LAN. Love all the features. There is a lot to explore out there. Setup was easy. Paired it with a new Sony A/V Receiver and Sony Blu-ray so all are now 4K capable. Got the Logitech keyboard to make it easier to navigate and fill in searches on the TV.

Nest Doorbell (Wired) lets you know who’s there, so you never miss a thing. It replaces your existing wired doorbell and delivers HD video and bright, crisp images, even at night. It’s designed to show you everything at your doorstep — people head to toe or packages on the ground. And with 24/7 streaming, you can check in anytime. Or go back and look at a 3-hour snapshot history to see what happened.*

Great Video Doorbell

This was very easy to install. Love the video quality and features. It reports on events such as movement and has recorded a number of things - I now know when the paper is delivered in the wee hours of the morning. Love the look back 5 days feature - will probably subscribe when trial is over. Great for security.

Keyboard Works Well with Sony Bravia TV
on July 19, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm new to the smart TV game. I am so glad I got this keyboard to help me navigate the menus and the Internet media on my new Sony Bravia TV. Every time I power the keyboard on, the TV instantly recognized it and I can type away with no issues - better than highlighting one letter at a time. Highly recommend.

Great Banana Plugs

High quality plugs. They grab the speaker ports really well. Speaker wires were easy to connect - I used some solder to make sure since I have very thick speaker wires. Great repair and speakers sound great now and connection to amp is solid.

Always suggest getting AppleCare
on June 30, 2017
Posted by: AlTampa
Verified Purchase:Yes
I never buy a major Apple product without the addition of AppleCare. It is reasonable and protects for an additional 2 years over the 1 year Apple warranty. I like the peace of mind knowing I have support for 3 years.

Another Great Apple Product
on June 30, 2017
Posted by: AlTampa
Verified Purchase:Yes
This new iPad Pro is fast and has lots of memory. Another great entry in the iPad lineup. I traded in an iPad Mini vintage 2014 for this new 10.5" Pro. It is very nicely designed and packaged. Was up and running after restore from old iPad in a matter of minutes. No issues encountered at all. Very thin and light weight. Waiting for some decent covers to come out now.

Hold My iPhone Plus
on February 21, 2017
Posted by: AlTampa
Verified Purchase:Yes
It's a tight fit and I felt I had to widen the cord opening at the bottom so my headphone jack would fit without binding. The phone fits but it takes some effort to slide the phone in and out. The armband has a little sewn on piece - perhaps to keep the band from slipping through the loop, but this piece keeps some of the Velcro from holding. I use it regularly.

No issues burning my own videos to Blu-Ray dvds. These seem to be very good quality - no problems so far. Played on 3 different Blu-ray players with no issues.

Why is the Google Home Mini Smart Speaker paired to be sold with the doorbell, is it needed?

The audio will come through on your linked phone or tablet. You don't need an external speaker.

Can I take this one with me to The Netherlands and use it there too at my home?

As long as you have Internet access you should be able to view the video and hear the sound.

Copy your files and slip them in your pocket with this PNY Turbo Elite flash drive. This 3.0 USB flash drive is backward compatible with USB 2.0, expanding your storage capabilities. With 256GB available, this PNY Turbo Elite flash drive is an ideal option for backing up your computer or storing older files you don't use.
 

How thick is this drive? I have a surface book 4 and the USB dock is only .25" thick. If I get something thicker, the computer won't sit level. Any suggestions on a 256 3.0 model that is this thin? Thanks!

The protective cover that slides is 1 cm thick. That is about 7/16" thick.
