Premium Quality 4K TV
on October 20, 2014
Posted by: CriticalEye
Verified Purchase:Yes
Picture quality is excellent, both technically & to the human eye. Samsung & LG may be catching up, but Sony still stands atop the mass market premium TV hierarchy based upon my extensive research of the 2014 4K models released by the Big 3. The X900B 55" is probably best suited for smaller living rooms or large bedrooms as its built-in front-facing speakers & promo-accompanied Sony wireless subwoofer don't pack enough punch to substitute for a wired surround sound speaker system in a full-size living room. (If you're going to spend this much for quality video, you'll want to complete the entertainment experience w/a comparable investment in quality audio. Otherwise, it's a bit lopsided.) The User Interface is a bit clunky, & the remote control looks & feels cheap. Overall, it's a great interim TV which we'll eventually move to the master bedroom & replace w/one of the new, ultra-thin OLED TVs as OLED screen reliability improves & prices descend.

The HP OfficeJet Pro 9025e delivers the fastest speeds, 500-sheet paper capacity, and up to 2x faster scan speeds. It includes the optional HP+ Smart Printing System that keeps itself up to date, secure, and ready to print from virtually anywhere at any time. Optional HP+ system requires an HP account, internet connection, and use of only Original HP Ink for the life of the printer. This product has been refurbished.
 

Can it print wireless from a Samsung Galaxy Book S

As long as your device can download the HP Smart App, you should be fine. The App will let you know if the device is incompatible. I tried it on an old Samsung Note 3 and it let me know the device was too old.
Hope that helps.

The unit doesn't come with software. You just download the HP Smart App.

I live in an apartment with the loudest bunch of people above me,Do you think it might mask a dog's bark?Or loud thuds? Thanks!

I have loud screaming children & mowers nearby on a regular basis. These definitely help mask those sounds enough to sleep & study through.
Not sure what you can do about the loud thuds though as that's something you usually feel as well as hear.
Hope that helps :-)

The cable is just for charging, but the USB receiver will allow connection in lieu of Bluetooth

Sleep better. Cover unwanted noise with soothing sounds. Bose noise-masking sleepbuds~ are uniquely designed for sleep. They don~t stream music or have acoustic noise cancellation. Instead, these tiny, wireless earbuds use pre-loaded, soothing sounds to cover up unwanted noises, so you can get to sleep ~ and stay asleep. Plus, unlike traditional earplugs, they~re super comfortable and made to stay in place all night long, even if you sleep on your side. 1. Choose your sound, 2. Set an alarm, 3. Fall asleep without unwanted noise.
 

How will these work against Smoke Detectors etc in case of emergencies?

The sound volume is customizable, so you could test them against any noise you want to be aware of. However, even with the volume up, I've had no trouble hearing loud sounds. Hope that helps.
