Worth it!

I've tried 2 E-boards before this particular, reason why I tried others first is due to price difference.
The reason, why I decided to go for this board, is mainly the swappable battery and being to kick push when it's out of battery is a major selling point for me. The LED lights are also a +, Being able to turn it off is also a great feature as I ride it during the day and don't want to further stand out when my board has lights on it. Very Useful at night though.
Once I received the board, there is a night and day difference between this and other boards I've tried. (LiftBoard & E-Go), much smoother and much more responsive. Also easier to handle.
The experience you get riding this is worth every penny! Inboard can't get stock in as it sells out frequently on bestbuy.com and even on amazon. If you want it, get it through inboard website, but you'd have to pay for shipping...

This board is definitely awesome, and I love that the board has a hole in it that is meant for a handle, makes it easy to carry around. Also, it's not overly extreme on the decals, it's simple and elegant that it doesn't look like an "electric" skateboard.
I took it for a ride to my local gym, and no one noticed that it's an electric skateboard,(for me it's a good thing) they thought it was just a regular skateboard, but once I got on it, I was then stopped and asked what it was. Awesome!
I will be getting the dual motor once it's available, the only reason is because of more power and dual brake system instead of one.
Battery life is expected to be 16miles, but I wished they could've added an indicator how much battery is left via "different" color on the power button instead of constant red when it's on. Green 70%-100%, Yellow 40%-70%, and Red being less than 40% would've been cool. Not a deal breaker, though.

The vibration is very strong on this. I can stand on this and vibration does not stop or weaken. I like that when I'm rolling and feel the spot that is sore, I can just lay there and let the vibration untie the knot.

Took 5 minutes to assemble, and quality is top notch for the price. Definitely planning to get more soon. Finally, can put stuff away in a quick manner if need be. The only question I have on it though is the weight capacity. IS the weight capacity listed 250lbs for storage weight? or the person sitting on it...?

Took about 20 minutes to assemble, good quality as far as I can tell. With my old chair, I could only sit on it for about 2 hours before I felt pain on my lower back. I've sat on this chair for about 4-5 hours so far and have not felt any pain. Worth it thus far.

4K Apps and HDR
on August 3, 2016
Posted by: Outium
from Chicago, Il
Awesome combo for gaming, 4K blu-ray player and HDR source for streaming Netflix etc. (for those 4K TV's that are not yet supported via built in Netflix HDR)
Review Over View:
1. HDR Netflix Experience
2.4K Disc Playback
3.VUDU (Not yet in 4K, maybe an update later down the road for 4K streaming)
I currently have the LG OLED EF9500, and I used Netflix on this console to take advantage of HDR. Since 2015 TV's are not yet on the list to have built in Netflix app to support HDR. If you are familiar with Netflix; some titles will list "HDR 4k". It seems that when I open the Netflix App, my TV notifies me on the right hand corner that "HDR is now on" even though I have not even chosen a title to watch and even if the Title I am watching is not even HDR or 4K. So not sure if it's my TV or an issue with software on the console. There is a difference on the picture quality based on what I see, but not sure if it's just the TV creating a Pseudo HDR.
4K Blu-Ray
Awesome that it is able to play Native 4K Disc, however the audio I am seeing does not seem to support Dolby True HD or DTS HD. So if you have a great home theater set up, or have an Atmos set up. Then i'd suggest purchasing a dedicated 4K Disc Player.

This TV is the best and to me a noticeable upgrade besides the clarity of the 4K.
Pros:

4)Web OS 2.0 is easy to use and navigate.
5) All HDMI Ports are HDMI 2.0a and HDCP 2.2 capable.
Cons:
1) Not Vesa Compliant (I Have a regular mount on the wall, and with a few tweaks I am able to mount the LG mount on the wall mount that's currently placed on the wall). Just throwing it out there.
2) TV is not able to pass through 5.1 Audio via optical from HDMI sources. (No go for Sonos, unless your mainly streaming)
3) Only 3 HDMI Inputs.

Decent TV
on June 12, 2015
Posted by: Outium
from Chicago, Il
Picture quality is decent, I feel that the 850b has a better upscale on it. I am highly disappointed with the apps/software of the TV thus far. Netflix is added on, but only has stereo audio out, same with Amazon.
Speaking of streaming, I was watching GRIMM season 2 episode 14, at 38:20, I noticed that the black area would shutter all around the tv. The picture quality is very grainy, compared to x850b.
I am assuming that this is because of software issues, and not the TV it self.

Great Sound

Posted by: Outium
from Chicago, Il
How Often Used:Daily
I loved the sound and fit of these headphones, I saw it on sale for 89.99 so I decided to give it a shot. After a few tries of getting the right ear tips, I heard excellent base, and the clarity is great. I used them daily at home and especially at the gym, with the hybrid tips(memory foam covered with silicone) it is excellent for sound isolation.
The downsides however is life of the product, exchanged two pairs within three months. Sony did cover the defective headphones via manufacturers warranty. I had the left earbud go out on me the first time, and the 2nd time was the right earbud. (I don't think it was cause of the sweat from the gym, but more of the way the cables are made)
As of right now I am happy with the purchase, specially since I can always get a replacement when it goes out. And once I've had enough of replacing, I will use the store credit towards something else, so no harm done. Just love the comfort, sound, and isolation.

I was really hoping to keep this over Asus q550lf for $50 difference. Asus has an IPS display, and makes a lot of difference. I don't find my self using the touch panel so I might just go for the regular y50 with IPS Panel for 1049. Also played League of Legends, and my FPS is stuck at 30fps, I updated the graphics driver and still no luck. (Still finding a solution)

Best tv I have owned!
By Jdsweb
This is a great tv. Definitley, worth the money. The picture is fantastic and the is great without the optional subwoofer. I cannot even explain how good the 3D is. The tv is angled which does make wall mounting a bit awkward if you don't have a bracket with full adjustments (up,down,left,right).
The only other issue for me was the lack of movie apps like, Vudu, Flixter..etc...
However, these two small issues are not deal breakers.
If you in the market for a 4K tv definitely give this one a look.

Worth every penny
By mceyrolles
Had a Ubee DOCSIS3.0 modem from my service provider, wired connections were fine but the wireless coverage was terrible. I used a DD-WRT wireless bridge for a few weeks but the throughput was horrible. I decided to give this modem a try and am glad I did! This device is well worth the money and has some newer features I'm excited to deploy (MoCa) although I may not need to because the wireless coverage is fine on all three floors and every corner of the house.
Very easy to deploy, work with your SP before you swap the modems out. They can pre-program their network so you'll have minimal downtime during the swap.
Only issue I had was that the documentation stated the default password was "password" but it was actually "motorola".

Response to Sony
June 12, 2015
I've done the factory reset, and still have the same problem.
Netflix audio settings only has stereo and not Dolby Digital 5.1, same with Amazon. So I'm currently using a media player to get DD, which beats the purpose of having a smart TV. I also was not able to locate HULU plus.

Awesome TV!
By jfs8yourface
First OLED TV and the picture is breathtaking. Just pop in a Blu-Ray and even at 1080p, the color, sharpness, and contrast is surreal. Even more so when watching 4K content. Haven't gotten a chance to watch HDR< but tried a few 3D movies. You haven't really watched Mad Max Fury Road till you've seen it on this OLED in 3D. It's something to behold. Smart features are somewhat useful, but the app selection leaves something to be desired. No Plex app for instance. Most of the other popular apps are there (Amazon Prime, Hulu, Netflix). Amazon and Netflix let you stream 4K and HDR. Pretty much the only source right now for 4K, HDR content. Since I don't use an AVR (I have a Sonos system), it would have been nice if there were four HDMI ports rather than three. I could get Dolby passthrough to optical from HDMI without issue.

I have the 65" EF9500 and I can't get the TV to output 5.1 via HDMi sources. My sonos only detects 2.1, I checked every setting that I can think of to make sure that I'm not doing anything wrong in my end. Could you possibly double check your settings and post a pic?

Sonos 5.1 Converted to stereo from HDMI sources
October 16, 2015
I should re-phrase that, any Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS 5.1 from HDMI sources, the 65" EF9500 passes it through via optical only in stereo, so if you have Sonos 5.1 system, then you would need a HDMI hub with optical output.

Sonos can take both 5.1 and Stereo
October 19, 2015
If you go to Sonos app and Go to settings then "About my Sonos" you'll see that your sonos is playing Dolby Digital 5.1 or Stereo. Yes Sonos will play Stereo and a create a pseudo 5.1, but if you a 5.1 source coming in, you are able to hear better separations on your speakers.

Truly Amazing TV
By Mike
I have never seen a better TV in my life. I have 3 friends with Panasonic plasmas, 2 of which were the "TV of the year" when they were released. The depth of colors on the OLED is unrivaled. HDR content, which is few and far between, looks amazing. Even old movies like Star Wars Episode 5 looks better than I thought it was capable of looking. The thinness is unparalleled (until you see what LG is coming out with in 2016- for a higher price point). It truly is a piece of art work on the wall. I often just let the screen saver play on my Apple TV and marvel at it. It isnt perfect- dark greys and blacks can look blocky on poor content (the tv really does expose poor quality content), and some people report banding and vignetting. It also doesnt support HDR Dolby Vision as the 2016 LG TV's will, but there is barely any 4k content currently much less 4k HDR DV content. I fully recommend this tv to anyone who has the means.

Where did you see that it doesn't support Vision?
January 22, 2016
This TV has HDMI 2.0a (HDR) inputs, as well as HDR via built in applications. The curved version of OLED is the one that doesn't have HDMI 2.0a, unless Dolby Vision is different from HDR.
