Work great regular BluRay, but shines with 4 K HDR, hard to believe. Remote needs some work, but the 4K presentation on 4K HDR TV is with it

4K unreal and HD so much better

on May 14, 2016

Posted by: Hodag

Verified Purchase:Yes

Thought 4K was all hype, it's not. 60 " is just right for our viewing distance of 10-15 feet. Purchased Samsung 4K 8500 BluRay and 4K movie it was a completely different movie experience, needs to be seen to believe. No 4K HDR movies that I care to see, so no evaluation. Best Buy delivered and setup, great experience and would do again. Setup was easy, but Harmony remote doesn't have all of latest features yet. Guess that comes with being on the cutting edge of 4K HDR. Hard to believe it could get better. I have used all the picture setting, but use the energy saving mode, which gives sharp real colors, very impressed with picture. TV speakers are normal tv speakers, which means a Samsung sound system for me.

Good protection for mini

Verified Purchase:Yes

Didn't have any case on my mini and slipped out of my hand, but used my knee to bump it on the couch rather than the floor. That was a wake up call and got the silicon case for protection.

Made my computer better than when I first got it. Best to just do a clean install and not mess with cloning. You will get rid of all kinds of old junk on your computer. I use the old hard drive as storage. Used Velcro to hold the SSD in place since there was a slot but wrong size

Replaced Otterbox Defender case on iPhone 6s Plus with Nuud, screen is more responsive than with Otterbox. Goes in my front pants pocket much better. Only downside is the speaker volume is not as good as Otterbox

NVIDIA - SHIELD TV - 4K HDR Streaming Media Player with Google Assistant

Cut the cable cord and use this NVIDIA SHIELD media player instead. It supports 4K video streaming from popular digital media services, so you can enjoy movies and TV, and its advanced processor ensures fast nonstop performance. This NVIDIA SHIELD media player has 16GB of storage space, and it supports additional USB flash drives for saving favorite movies and shows.

Will this record OTA TV broadcasts ? Or do I have to record from streaming signal only ? My end goal is to simply use HDTV antennas, but be able to record shows ( similar to the days of a VCR ). Prefer not to stream, long story...If not, other products ?

I use PLEX to record Cobert and Trevor Noah to watch on my time, it will cut out the commercials

WeMo - Mini WiFi Smart Plug

Convert almost any electronic device into a smart appliance with the Wemo Mini Wi-Fi smart plug. It plugs into any outlet and lets you control attached appliances via mobile devices.

I have a wemo insight switch, and a wemo mini plug, I have both devices on my wemo app, I bought a second wemo mini for another room and plugged it in, but the problem is that it does not show up on my wemo app, I do not know how to find it.

I have had a similar problem with some of mine also, not sure if this will help. I brought the device into the room where the router was and plugged it in right next to the router, went through the setup again (sometimes more than once. Once setup I moved it to the other end of the house. I have 3 about 40 feet from router for several years and have been working fine
