I waited a month before writing this review as I've made the mistake of writing reviews too quickly before.
There are a few main things to know about this sound system:
1. The sound is CLEAR at ALL VOLUMES.........because the sound is so clear on this thing, it's almost hard to tell how loud it is because as the volume increases, the sound clarity does not go down, as some similarly priced sound bars can do.
2. This is a one piece system - and the lack of low end bass is noticeable. It's simply not possible to get the amount of bass from a system that does not have a larger and separate woofer. That being said, there is SOME good low end sound when the back of the unit is about an inch from the wall.
3. Some have complained about the lack of a volume indicator and other visible indicators. If you like great design this wont bother you. The unit just looks good sitting on a console. Mine is Hooked up to a 55" Samsung is not used as a pedestal, and I recommend NOT using it as a pedestal. Having it sit on its own with a tv mounted above makes the unit look just a prestigious as any other item yo see with "Bose" written on it.
My Best Buy number: 2622502085
What's great about it: Minimalist design and sound clarity
What's not so great: Bass below a premium sound bar

A much improved version of the cheaper, thicker mophies.
The air is worth the extra $20 or whatever it is because it is so much slimmer.
The black color looks nice with the black iphone and doenst look like out of place.
Case is also fairly durable and can in some cases keep the screen from hitting a surface if dropped
My Best Buy number: 2622502085
What's great about it: extra battery works
What's not so great: not much

Overall this is a great product and value. Some might feel when first looking at the product out of the box that the screen is smaller than what you'd expect in a 50" TV - but it's because the TV is almost rimless - and most people are used to seeing a big bezel around the edge of their TV.
The smart apps that Vizio reworked for the M-series is much improved from the old smart system on the E-series. Other than the remote buttons feeling a little cheap - accessing netflix, vudu, etc is easy.
The picture is great- you will need to calibrate it a bit based on the light in the room you are using, but overall it's what you'd expect with a 10,000,000:1 DCR and 240hz.
I have not used the 3d enough to give a valid review yet but from the little I have viewed in 3d, it is great . The glasses that come with it are easy to wear and don't look completely stupid when worn.
The built in speakers are not surprisingly terrible. Get a $200 to $300 soundbar with a wireless woofer - you won't regret it.
Internet content most enjoyed: Netflix, Vudu
My Best Buy number: 2622502085
What's great about it: Style, Picture, New Smart Features
What's not so great: Built In Speakers

Most Important to Purchase:Sound quality
How Often Used:3-5 times a week
I have always been loyal to samsung products but this one simply doesn't match the non-stylistic quality I've foudn to be consistent with their other products.
The sound quality is not bad, but it's not rich and deep like I had expected.

just a good value for a surge protector - don't buy the big name brands for stuff like this, the dynex best buy label for this item is all you need for simple surge protection on most items

overall this is a great game, especially for those who follow some or all of the marvel characters
each character has abilities that get stronger throughout the game and while the game is long, it never seems boring because of the amount of playable characters and how their abilities/powers improve over time
some of the graphics can look dated at times, but the gameplay and storyline make up for it

What's great about it: expansiveness of characters and their abilities

I use it in...:Small home
I bought this despite the bad reviews here.
I must say that those bad reviews are incorrect. Those experiencing dropped connections and/or poor speed must be using a bad cable provider and/or not paying for the proper amount of internet speed. This thing can only perform as well as the service you are feeding to it - and it can handle just about any speed available for residential cable customers. For reference I have the performance internet from Comcast/Xfinity.
The price is a little high, but I believe it is worth it when you factor in that you can drop your monthly modem lease from your cable company and AND that you can drop using a separate router - thus eliminating wires and an outlet on your surge protector/wall outlet.
My household regularly sees wifi usage between 2 iphones, 2 ipads, an xbox 360, and macbook pro, and samsung bluray player, and with this device none of them drop connection or slow in speed when multiple devices are in use.
The password that comes with the device is long - but that's added security.
What's great about it: Fast and Easy to Install
What's not so great: long password

4th Generation a Significant Improvement
on December 31, 2012
Posted by: mgheard
from Alabama
The 4th generation ipad is the fastest device I have ever used. I also own the iphone 5 and an older macbook pro - the 3 together are unstoppable.
If you already have an ipad 2 but thought about getting the 3rd generation, the improvements on the 4th generation should be enough for you to pull the trigger.
The new processor is more of an improvement than what I've seen people say in other reviews - again, the fastest device I've ever used for everyday use.
The battery life is also unreal - I've had the 4th gen for over a week, used it heavily on a daily basis, I still haven't charged it, and stil have 20% battery life - that should last me another 2 days before I change it for the first time.
What's great about it: Fast - Simple
What's not so great: Price

The volume buttons are covered and the sound slide is covered. Does this make them hard to use?
Really like the case but this is my only concern.
