Nice feature set for the price, but . . .

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've purchased only Sony disc players the last several years, as the remote controls that came with a couple of units I'd previously purchased from another manufacturer just didn't work as well. I thought I might use the bluetooth feature with wireless headphones when my wife is reading in the same room, but haven't purchased the headphones yet. Only negative I have thus far was my one attempt to stream Netflix programming. For some reason, about 50% of the programs appeared to be streamed at 30fps, and the coloring, skin tones in particular, was somewhat harsh and unrealistic. Experimented streaming those same Netflix programs on this new Sony player and an old AppleTV, back and forth in repeated comparisons, and the picture quality was definitely inferior when streaming through this Sony.

We didn't like "Star Trek Beyond" as well as the earlier films featuring this cast, but it is a decent film.

Although we didn't feel that "Rogue One" was quite on par with "The Force Awakens", it is a good addition to the Stare Wars franchise.

Nice addition to my workstation

Verified Purchase:Yes
Still use my Apple Magic Mouse regularly out of habit, but this trackpad has better functionality for zooming and rotating in some applications. Large surface area allows for a wide on-screen cursor movement range, while easily allowing precise cursor targeting as well. Click action/feel very nice over entire surface. I would probably be OK retiring the Magic Mouse altogether and using this trackpad exclusively.

Works great with Apple Magic Mouse 2
on February 20, 2017
Posted by: EngineeringType
Verified Purchase:Yes
Previously, the glide strips bottom of my Apple Magic Mouse 2 would quickly become coated with a film from my desk's work surface, causing resistance to movement across that surface. As a result, I was cleaning those glides daily. (Cleaning the desk surface itself made no difference.) A fabric mouse pad I first tried also offered resistance to movement. This Insignia product has a textured yet hard surface that the Apple mouse glides across surprisingly well, with no contamination buildup on those glides. I used the "speed surface" side, which has only a slight texture, for the first few weeks . . . it worked OK. I then flipped it over with the "control surface" side (which has a coarser texture) facing up, and WOW, its almost like the Apple mouse is gliding across a sheet of ice, and with great cursor tracking. I do not game on my computer, but for my purposes, this Insignia Gaming Mouse Pad is a great match to the Apple Magic Mouse 2.

Works, but finicky with Apple brand jack
on February 5, 2017
Posted by: EngineeringType
Verified Purchase:Yes
This extension has worked for my purposes thus far, but it doesn't always mate perfectly with the 4-conductor jack on the Apple ear buds I use (so no sound). Whenever this has happened, rotating that jack within this cable's connector about a quarter turn has caused the necessary connections to make, and it then works fine for extended workouts on the treadmill. Haven't tried this cable with any other device jack, so don't know if it would behave similarly.

Seems to be a perfectly fine product - it works. Would be nice if it was a bit more flexible to conform to the desired routing path behind your entertainment center.

Good quality product, sturdy and stable, and articulates, swivels, and tilts well. Installation onto sheet rock wall (into stud) went well.

Avenger storyline showing its age
on December 30, 2016
Posted by: EngineeringType
Verified Purchase:Yes
We felt the plot was below par when compared to the first Avengers movie, as well as the related series (Captain America, Iron Man, etc). Pretty much the entire movie was fast-paced fight scenes which included an ever-growing assortment of comic book superheroes, and they mostly fought each other rather than villains. It became tiresome and boring. Tony Stark was not as entertaining as in previous episodes, the Black Widow's personality was more robotic, Captain America was less likable, and some of the newer characters were rather corny.
