Best of the best..

One of the top rated TV for 2017. The 55 inch LGC7P has to be one of the best TVs I came across. Amazing color and quality in every aspect of this TV. I have used it for gaming and shows, the TV does a great job of adjusting color and quality with the pre-sets. NOTE: Be sure to adjust sharpness to 5-10 for best quality images. The sound is great, nothing to compare with a full surround but it can manage. I am using it with LG's SJ9 sound bar and sub combo and it does a great job of producing quality sound.
Dolby Atmos and Dolby Visions are mind blowing. Tv comes with both so its already leading the way as far as current gen tech goes. It has a built in Dolby app that has couple of demos, I just wish Dolby could give us more content, the technology is still new but once you experience it, you'll be asking for more. Great purchase!

I have been using these for about a year and 3 months. These really help from eye strain and I you can really notice the difference at the end of the day.
My job requires me to look at three monitors daily, one 34 and two 27 inch. At times i forget to wear them and couple hours later my eyes are watery and tired.
No issues so far, i will be looking to get a second pair for home use.

Great Tablet

Posted by: WhatGeek
Gifted this unit to my mom for Christmas and she is loving it. Simple to use, has enough features built in for an average user who just uses it for web, email and some gaming. If you want a powerhouse, multitasking unit then this isn't the product for you. This tablet is for basic, everyday use. Cheers.

So i called of my local Best Buy store (349) trying to purchase this product and was left on the line for 10 minutes without any answer ( happened multiple times) So I decided to go to Amazon.com at it was on sale for $599. This is why you guys are losing BBY! Step your game up and train your associates to answer calls and if they are busy then be sure to tell your customers.
Now onto the monitor:
G-Sync CHECK
1440p @ 144Hz CHECK and CHECK

What more can you ask form a gaming monitor for the price? Really a great buy!

3rd TV in 8 months!
on October 31, 2014
Posted by: WhatGeek
This tv has one of the best pictures iv seen. Unfortunately, we were on to our 3rd TV in about 8 month. First TV went out 3 hours after we got it home, second one went out 8 months after. Due to delay in parts Sharp just let us exchange the unit at Best Buy instead of getting third. Tempted to give it just one star but to be fair, the picture quality was outstanding. 2/5

Perfect TV
By tonydamiani
The Sony 4K Android TV its magnificent. I installed it just a couple of days and I'm in love with it. The interface and setup its smooth and the TV its worth the price. The upscaling HDMI feature its amazing. Whenever I play games on my PS4 they look 100% better that before. Not to mention when I see a movie. Streaming or physical Blu-Ray, doesn't matter the movie will look amazing on this TV.

Do you notice any input lag or blur while gaming? While moving the character left and right or aiming left and right? Both first person shooters and driving.

Life on planets
By MikasaAckerman
I have never looked forward to a game as I am with No Man's Sky. From the videos, screen images, and interviews with the creators, I think this game will far exceed my expectations of what a great open world game should be. It might exceed everyone's expectations. We shall see but not soon enough. One thing I would like to point out is the description of this game. The description leads one to believe that every solar system has planets that contain life. From an interview a few months back with the creator, he said something like only 10% of all planets have life. Of that 10% only 10% will have lush forests and huge dinosaur like creatures. Contradiction to be sure. Any input out there?

Unbelievable
By JohnnyO from Crest Hill,IL
I must say this is the most exceptional TV I've ever seen. It appears as if you're looking through a window while watching. The colors are extremely vivid and as with all oled TVs the blacks are second to none. I was undecided between the C and E, and after seeing that both models are exactly the same I decided on the C and got the new LG SJ9 sound bar. This option ended up being more cost efficient than going with the E model. The two paired together are remarkable.

C Vs. E

What made you go with C rather than E? I am in the same boat and cannot make up my mind. What is the difference between the two?

What is the difference between the C7 model and the E7 model? There is quite a price difference.

E7 has an integrated sound bar like the G7 model, that's about it. The integrated sound bar will not get you A+ full surround sound but it will get you a quality sound. I got the 55C7 with SJ9 sub and sound bar. Both the SJ9 sub and bar combo and the E7 come with Dolby Atmos (premium quality sound).

Can the refresh rate on this monitor be set at a rate higher than 60 Hz? Need a monitor that can be set at 75 Hz or greater.

The max refresh rate is 85Hz. You can toggle the settings to achieve this rate from what I understand.

Information About Asus Monitor

I order this monitor and i would like to know what is going on because i haven't revived nothing yet and no information at all.. so please i would like to know when i would be getting it and the status or my order... the only thing it says is back ordered but i would like to know more details please!
Items on back order can take months to get to your door. Please call your local Best Buy store and give them your best buy order number located in your confirmation email.

Unfortunately, most of the time manufactures do not update stores so both customers and stores are left in the dark.

You can always cancel the item and order another item or wait for an update. -Cheers
