Very satisfied
By James O. Thach, November 25, 2013
My wife and I bought this after selling our daughter Amanda into white slavery. We actually got a refurbished. It’s missing the remote, but oh well-- for $10K off, I can afford a universal, right? The picture is amazing. I’ve never seen the world with such clarity.
Amanda, if you’re reading this, hang in there, honey! We’ll see you in a year.
I just wanted to add an addendum to my review. Since posting it, we have received a flood of responses. People have said some pretty hurtful things--even questioning our values. Let me assure you, this was not an easy decision to make, and we made it as a family. Obviously, it’s very personal. But in light of all the second-guessing, I wanted to explain our thinking.
First and foremost, screen size. I really think you can’t go too big. 85” may seem huge, but you get used to it fast. Second, resolution. Is 4K overkill? Please, that’s what they said about 1080P! More dots = better. Period. And as far as this being a $40,000 “dumb” TV, people need to re-read my initial post: WE BOUGHT IT REFURBISHED. It was only $30,000.
Some of you may think I’m avoiding the “elephant in the room”-the real reason why this was such a heart-wrenching choice. So let’s just get it out there. Yes, the 120 Hz refresh rate is a disappointment, especially on a 4K. But life is full of compromises. And frankly, we hardly notice. All in all, no regrets.
P.S., as for our daughter, NO ONE has the right to question our parenting. Totally out of bounds. Amanda was going into 7th grade, so it was going to be a transitional year anyway. Now she gets to see the world. How many kids her age get to go to Bahrain? I sure as heck didn’t, but you don’t hear me screaming “child abuse.” Bottom line: MYOB! Seriously.
Has it been a year already? Wow! I guess that’s what 8 hours a day of immersive TV will do for you! Many of you have expressed your eagerness for an update. Well, here goes.
Generally, the Samsung has held up beautifully. We have noticed a little bit of lag, mostly in multi-player gaming--but not enough to cost us any firefights. There have been some issues up-imaging low rez content, but that’s to be expected when you early-adopt--we’re still “waiting on the world to change,” as John Mayer would say (gosh he’s talented.) On the plus side, we feel like we are now officially part of the cast of GOT. The other night Peg almost had to open a window to let Daenerys’ dragons fly out!
And you’ll all be happy to know our darling Amanda is back with us, safe and sound. She has changed a little. She’s less talkative than before (though she had some choice words for me when I asked her to clean her room). And she’s started wearing eye make-up, which has Peg a bit concerned. But welcome to thirteen, I guess. We’re just glad to have her home. And she loves the TV. That’s the main thing. In fact, she spends so much time in front of it lately; you’d swear she owns it.

Amazing
By Darl Sabraw, January 27, 2014
I was dubious at first about it’s only needing 2 AA batteries, but when they arrived I noticed that they were dilithium crystal based so they could also be used in my Type II Phaser.

NSA Approved
By Christopher, December 11, 2013
Great Purchase. What sold me was the NSA on-call button that is now provided on the TV remote control. One press of the button and I can instantly talk to someone from the NSA…and the best part is, they actaully appear on the tv screen. I was drinking wine the other day and the dog ran in and knocked over my drink…all over my new carpet. I pressed the NSA button and they were already prepared with directions as to how to save my carpet…they even suggested I drink a different wine…

If I hook this up to cable and turn it on, will it cause another Oblivion crisis?
Actually, with Samsung’s Smart-Stability technology, the chance of completely demolishing human civilization on a power-on event is reduced to a manageable 12%.

Excellent way to contract diabetes!
By Furbylover, February 27, 2013
Me and my friend were watching TV in the basement and drinking some cold ones…Suddenly, a diabetes commercial came on, and we both instantly looked at each other with the same idea: “WHO CAN GET DIABETES THE FASTEST!?” We decided the prize to be a 6-pack of beer. I did a lot of research and found this baby! Boy, is she beautiful…I bought myself a bunch, and thanks to this I contracted diabetes in a mere 2 months! In the meantime, my friend decided to go the Coke route, but he got pretty sick of it in a month in. In the end, my
friend also got diabetes, but a month after me! So I got my 6-pack, and all is well in the world. Thanks, Snickers!

Probably the best candy bar for my needs right now
By Franklin H. Fischer, February 27, 2013
I just ate this one-pound Snickers bar, and all I can say is, “WOW.” It’s freakin’ awesome, like, I can’t even feel my feet right now! I bought one of these at my local Walmart and ate the whole thing on a bench outside near the entrance. A lot of people gave me strange looks when they saw me eating a baby-forearm-sized chocolate bar, but I think that’s just because they mistook the giant Snickers bar for a large, veiny, black sex toy. Like I’d be caught doing that in a Walmart parking lot again! Get real! Anyways, I’d recommend this candy bar to anyone who wears sweat pants and/or American-flag-themed clothing on a regular basis. I would have given this product 5 stars, but the necessary follow-up insulin shots did not come included. Enjoy!

Amazing experience
By Isehara “isehara2”, January 26, 2013
In my opinion, eating this bar is a far different and better experience compared to eating the normal Snickers bars. This giant Snickers to me appears to be denser, and everything is just bigger. Starting from the top, the chocolate is thicker, the peanut-and-caramel layer is thick, and lastly, you have a huge layer of nougat. It has to be seen to be believed. Any Snickers lover should be eating this rather than the regular bar. Imagine if a Subway sandwich was 10 percent of the current size—would you enjoy it as much? I doubt it. Eating this bar is a visual, weight, a taste experience. This is America, right, where bigger is better? This bar is 453 g, where a regular bar is 50 g. You can literally kill somebody by smacking them over their head with this bar. In some areas you may be able to classify this bar as a weapon. I eat this bar over a week, and keep it in a Ziploc bag once opened. I am going to push for this bar to be a regular item, rather than a holiday special. I recommend that you buy this on eBay. I paid about $12.50 for a bar in the last few days and bought about 10 of them. I believe Snickers lovers will find it hard to go back to the regular bar once you try this one.

An epic read indeed
By Devin B. Cara, June 5, 2009
I was down and out; it felt as if my luck was running dry and everything I liked about the world had left me. Sleepless night after sleepless night, I waited for something to come my way. It was then that I decided to quit my job and travel the earth in search of an answer. I was on my way to the airport for a morning flight to Chi-town as it dawned on me: I should get a new look if I were to become a traveler. I had barely made it past the security gate when I found the book that would change my life. I quickly refunded my ticket and went home to read this book. I marveled at such a novel idea of writing a book about growing a beard, but there it was right in my hands. A surge of energy flowed through me like I had never before experienced. Every page I turned was like a wave of knowledge that set my mind at ease and created desire in my heart. I was shelving my shaving supplies and looking more and more like a man everyday. It’s a short read, and I found myself reading it over and over again, eventually taking notes as I went. One day I decided to spruce up my resumé and apply for a job I had never quite had the courage to apply to before. No sooner had I walked through the door of the office building was I offered a job that I was proud to tell my friends and family about. Within a week I had every woman in the office asking if I was married or if I had any brothers. It seemed that every time I consulted this book it gave me the right answer. Sure enough one of those women and I eventually became real close to and we began dating. As my beard continued to grow in length, so did the passion in our relationship. I asked for her hand in marriage, and she said yes! To this day I don’t think it would have been possible without this book. The author definitely knows his stuff, and my life is a testament to this. I encourage everyone who eats to buy this book. It makes a humorous bathroom reader, great graduation gift, or even a legit self-help book. It covers everything you could possibly want to know about growing and grooming a great beard from a man who does it better than anyone else, Jack Passion!

A better guide than it appears
By Merennulli, January 14, 2013
Jack is pompous and self-absorbed, but he is good at caring for beards. You do have to wade through his odd balance of nods to political correctness and his hypermasculine philosophy, and that is part of why this is 4 stars instead of 5. The other negative is that it isn’t all there—With fewer than 100 pages actually dedicated to facial hair, and even those in large print with wide spacing, there is room to have gone into more detail, particularly about technique. That said, it is a very concise, introductory-level book about facial hair management.
- It has good thoughts on how to start all manner of facial hair, including beards, mustaches, sideburns, and goatees.
- It is a quick read, and that large print and wide spacing makes it easy to reference while you’re learning.
- It is written with an understanding that people will not be perfect.
- It integrates intentionally with good health. The only “strange” thing that he advocates in the book is a total abandonment of refined sugar.
- Nearly all common issues that new beard growers tend to ask are addressed. As someone who already had grown a long beard, I found the maintenance portion very enlightening, and wished I had his book when I started (unfortunately, he was in middle school when I started growing my beard).
Beard!

If you want a beard, get this book. If you don’t want a beard, don’t get this book. Actually get it anyway.

BEWARE
By Free Speech Lover “Free Speech Lover”, March 13, 2013
I bought this and tried it out to make sure it was suitable for our 11-year-old (he does things at his own pace). The problem—I tried it for to
o long and operant conditioned myself. Now I can’t relieve myself unless I am playing Angry Birds or watching Netflix. This is awkward at the office and at urinals in general. Also whenever I am someplace without a Wi-Fi signal I become constipated.

Game of Thrones
By chatchi, March 13, 2013
In my family, we’re not big talkers. As soon as I get home from work, I plop down in front of the TV and watch my shows until it’s time to go to bed. My wife will try to tell me about her “busy” day staying at home with our son—I’m only half listening, though. I know we’re supposed to interact with our kid and teach him things, but quite honestly, it’s easier just to put him in front of the TV and let those cartoons do the educating for us. The kid goes into a zone when he’s watching TV and doesn’t say a word for hours, so he’s obviously learning a ton of stuff. When the iPad came out, I was reluctant to fork out all that cash, but once my wife and I realized the educational benefits it could have on our child, we bought it immediately. He has absolutely no idea how to operate the darn thing, but when he’s playing with the iPad, it’s like we don’t even have a kid anymore. It’s pretty great. After a disastrous attempt to potty train the kid after his first birthday, we weren’t in a huge hurry to try again. Until I heard about the iPotty. Sometimes we’ll put the kid on the iPotty even when he doesn’t have to go to the bathroom. He just loves sitting on his throne (as we call it), tapping mindlessly at the screen. And let me tell you how thrilled I am with the touchscreen protector that keeps pee- and poo-covered hands off of the iPad screen. That thing’s been a lifesaver on many occasions. When you think about it, a kid playing with an iPad on the potty is no different than an adult reading a book. Sometimes you just need to take your mind off the task at hand and let things happen naturally. While our boy has yet to be successfully potty trained, we’re confident that—with the help of the iPotty—we’ll have this thing figured out in no time.
