Quality 4k Blu Ray player, good value for price
on July 14, 2017
Posted by: Theran
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is my first 4k Blu Ray player.
I purchased a copy of Logan to go with it to play on my 78" Samsung Curved (UN78KS9500FXZA) TV to truly appreciate the difference.
One of the best purchases I've made and the sale price of $199.99 fit the budget perfectly

WiFi is marginally better, but still good
on July 14, 2017
Posted by: Theran
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was having a problem with my previous NETGEAR - Nighthawk DST AC1900 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Router with DST Adapter. It was not providing a reliably strong network for our 5 bed, 3200 square foot, two level home that was build in 2012.
I was directed to the Netgear ORBI by the best salesperson. I was told it was designed specifically for large homes with multiple floors and was the best Router on the market for this purpose. So I purchased and set up immediately, which was straight forward. I like having the Router (upstairs) and Satellite (downstairs) for my work setup (4 monitors, 1 laptop, 1 iMac) and my wife's iMac to hardwire via the supplied Ethernet cables.
Unfortunately my wife and I consider the strength and reliability of the WiFi signal to be marginally better than the AC1900.

Bold, sharp picture, deep blacks, perfect size
on July 14, 2017
Posted by: Theran
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this 78" Curved Samsung TV at my local Best Buy. It was originally $8k, but I got a screaming deal for $3,300.
I've learned from past experience to purchase the Geek Squad warranty, which was not cheap, but provides peace of mind for five years.
It took a couple of days to adjust to the incredibly sharp pictures when viewing a 4k Blu Ray, Amazon, Netflix or Comcast programming. I came from a 90" Sharp LED and it's night and day difference between the two. It's so much brighter than what I was used to. Even the dogs are fooled now reacting as if the tv image is real when watching NatGo and other nature channels.
This TV is no longer available at Best Buy unless you find a display or customer return. If the price is right for your budget you should go for it!

Deep, rich sound. Great look, perfect for big room
on July 14, 2017
Posted by: Theran
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased two pairs of tower speakers (TW-H5500/ZA) to go with my 78" Samsung Curved Tv (UN78KS9500FXZA) for my 20' x 20 'x 20' Living Room.
I tried three different high end, recommended sound bar + subwoofer systems (Sony, Samsung, Sonos) and each was overwhelmed by the room size. They sounded "tinny" past eight feet and I was very frustrated to say the least.
I found these tower speakers and purchased one pair figuring "why not"? What a difference! The bass is rich, the mids are perfect and the highs are crystal clear. I loved them so much I purchased a second pair even though Samsung, Amazon, etc. purchasers all said it was not possible to connect more than one set of tower speakers to my tv at one time.
I did my research and found a 3 into 1 Digital Optical splitter. This allows me to play audio through all four tower speakers in addition to a Samsung - 5 Series 1000W 5.1-Ch. 3D / Smart Blu-ray Home Theater System HT-J5500/ZA. That's right I have a total of 10 Samsung speakers of varying sizes playing perfectly in my Living room. Now I have the "theatre sound" that just a month ago seemed to be impossible.
If you want great sound (30 max volume) where you can rock the walls, floors and furniture these are the speakers for you!

are these speakers compatible to any Samsung home theater system such as model ht-j5500/za

Hello Nate,

These tower speakers will work just fine with the ht-j5500/za home theater system. I know because that's what I'm using system. For more details please read my review.

Do these Speakers plug into an electrical out for power like the wireless subwoofer that comes with most soundbars?

There is a power cord for the set. They come with a power cord extension that adds a few more feet for placement further away from an out.et.

Why it doesn't specify if sold each or pair ??

They are sold as a pair of 2 speakers. They are connected by a speaker cable that's about either 10" or 12' long.
