Lost a phone and needed new one. This one was very low priced and had most features. So far so good...It's been reliable and honestly, this may be the best bargain I've ever got for a cell phone (<$200)

PRICEY BUT WORTH IT

Verified Purchase:Yes
Great sound, comfortable (for me anyway) Streams well with good range. The only thing I wish to have is that there is no control on noise canceling. There are times that I think I'd like it off or my curiosity wonders how it would sound if it were reduced a bit at times. Still, it didn't keep me from buying it or rating it so high.

Good earphone. Solid sound with what I thought as good bass. Maybe pricey, but I guess Bose gets away with that.

Nice slimmer device. It replaced one by another manf. and I like it much better, as it seams more accurate and easily less intrusive. My issue is that I've had some issues with syncing the device.. to phone or laptop. I've read others have this issue. Here's hoping Fitbit takes care of this quickly.

This does everything it says and it's simple

Verified Purchase:Yes
Read about this and you'll find out exactly what this is. It's spot on. It's easy to install...even if you have a 4 wire system to your HVAC unit. I've had it barely a month and it's just as advertised. However, I don't use the auto function where it sets the temp based upon room occupancy. I understand the feature, but I don't see the advantage.
It doesn't have geo fencing setting, so if that's what you're looking for, it's not for you.

This phone performs as expected and then some.

I read up on getting the Samsung or Motorola or this LG. I knew some had written concerns about the LG, but for me, none of them ended up to be significant for me. Some were saying the Samsung screen is brighter. Coming from the S4, the LG's screen is brighter and works great for me. And it is sharp and clear. Others had concerns about processing speed, but I'm not seeing any limitations. Plus, the camera is excellent, and one can install SD cards if you really need the memory. But the biggest reason...one can replace the battery. I get great battery life, but knowing I can carry a spare if needed puts this way over the top.

See every piece of the action with this 65-inch Sony Bravia TV. The 4K resolution stands out thanks to its exquisite detail, it can process startlingly accurate-looking video in conjunction with the powerful OLED technology. Stream your favorite clips and access online media quickly on this Sony Bravia TV.
 

What is the best option (now that plasma tv's are no longer being made) for fast action sports to avoid motion blur. I currently have 3 excellent Samsung Plasma TV's but one is about 6 years old and I'm ready to replace it. Would OLED be dissapointing?

I've not had my Sony OLED for very long, but blur is not noticeable. I do get some pixalation with confetti shots, but these are 1080 and not 4k signals. What little 4k I've watched so far, I've not seen any blur.

I was wondering if glare is a problem with this television? Mostly with over head lighting since the tv angles upward.

I've not had the set all that long, but IMO, glare from the sides is the potential bigger issue. I don't see reflections from the top- though that may be the way my room is set up. It's mostly when I'm viewing way off to the side that I notice them. Of course my sliding glass door is off to the other side so that would make sense. When looking straight one +/- 20 degrees or so, it's not been an issue. If it's an issue for you with this set, IMO, it will be just as bad or worse with other sets.

Monitor your fitness journey with this Fitbit Alta HR health tracker. It records your resting heart rate to help you keep an eye on heart health, and it receives notifications from paired phones, so you don't miss important calls or texts. This Fitbit Alta HR health tracker reminds you to exercise or move during the day.
 

Does the Fitbit Alta HR use GPS? Will it show a map of where you went running?

It does not have GPS. However, when I went into the App, the App new where I was at. I haven't tried to use that tracking but I think it will track you but I bet it uses the phone's GPS, not the fitbit.

Wiring

I have four wires for my thermostat. Y,G,RH,and W. Will this thermostat work with these four wires?
yes it does. They supply a connector to take care of this. It's something you have to add in at the furnace, but it's easy to do as long as you have access to the furnace. It's a connector that terminates 5 wires to the furnace with the 4 wires one has.

reaction time and video

Hi just wondering how quickly this camera turns on. For example if you're on a bus and see something as you drive buy, will it turn on right quick when you press power button? Also does the video feature stay in focus when you zoom in while recording or does it just get blurry? Thanks video very important to me
The camera can turn on very quickly. Just hit the button twice on the back of the phone, and it opens up directly with the camera app and snaps the picture.

As for video, yes it does stay in focus when one zooms in.
