Easiest Surveillance System to won

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've now had this system for over a month. I've probably owned 3-4 different camera systems in the past, both IP and DVR based. While this is not a solution for constant video streaming, It is great if you want to let it do all the work. The ability to manage and control what is recorded when and what notifies you when is great. Highly recommend this system.

Great purchase, loaded with features.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I actually bought this TV with a voucher from Best Buy as a warranty replacement for a 50" Sharp TV I had for less than a year. First, I must say I love Best Buy for standing behind the products they sell.
Secondly, this TV is a great deal. The 55" 4k display is beautiful and the Smart TV features added by the included Roku functionality have left me never changing to my PC as input. RokuTV offers many apps making this much more than a streaming TV. In addition to using SlingTV, Netflix, Hulu... I love that apps are available for functions such as checking out my home surveillance cams. The included Roku seems to be powerful too, works smoothly.

Enhance your Hue lighting system with this Philips Hue dimmer switch. Removing the control unit from the magnetic base plate lets you use it as a handheld remote, and the on button also adjusts Philips colors and set ambiance levels. Adjust light settings precisely with this wireless Philips Hue dimmer switch.

Nice addition to Philips Hue.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Originally I controlled the lights in my living room with a remote that is sold around the holiday season. This worked great for turning on plugged in lighting; however, it was time for an upgrade. I have invested in the Hue brand and am addicted! In addition to the easy to use app, I have replaced the old remote with this one. I'd give it 5 stars, but it does have to be pressed more than once occasionally.

Cut the cable!

Choice. That's why I first cut the cable years ago with my first Android TV followed by Chromecast. I purchased this Roku stick 2 days after buying an Insignia 55" Roku TV and immediately falling in love with the interface. Many stations/apps available leave you to truly choose what you watch.

The image used in the advertising even as of my review would lead one to believe that this mknitor has a nearly bezel free view; however, the actual viewing of the monitor has a half inch bezel around 3 sides in addition to the obviously displayed lower bezel.

Great deal on a beautiful HDTV

While recently searching for a larger TV as I moved into an apartment with a larger living room, I came across this great deal at Best Buy. I looked at several of their options on display as well as open box deals. As an at home technophile, I already have a Chromecast (this TV will automatically turn on/switch to the input when activated) and a Windows PC in my living room. This leaves me with no need (or desire) for a "Smart (slow) TV". The picture quality and resonsiveness of this TV are great. Highly recommend for the price.

While this mat be lacking many of the smooth features of a higher end pod, it does a great job for the amateur every now and then photographer. Based on parts alone (weak plastic) I'd venture to say this won't last too long for an avid traveler carrying it around frequently. For me, Just right.

From the Super HD display to its great no button needed design, great device. I owned the G2x and it was sub par, but the G3 proves that LG gets Android. I was nervous about leaving Samsung (S4), but this device is awesome!

can the a camera or all 4 cameras be turned on/off remotely through the iphone app to conserve batteries ?

Yes, you can toggle each camera on and off via the app. The system manages the usage of the battery very well on its own as well. If there is light movement in the covered area, the batteries will definitely last months.

Is there an inexpensive amplifier available for the optical output of my new HDTV?

I have speakers and an analog amplifier from my previous TV. I need something to convert the optical output from the new TV so it can be used through the existing amplifier.
The headphone jack on this TV should take care of this for you.
