A:AnswerThis TV has a feature called "One Connect" which looks like a power strip, but for HDMI. It is attached to the TV with a single cable allowing for hiding all the connecting HDMI cables out of sight. You should read my rating review of the TV to avoid the setup problems I had.
A:AnswerDepends on your goals. The one connect box in its basic form allows you to have only 1 cable running down from the set for all the A/V stuff. You also have a power cable.
If you want a very clean setup, you should look into something called a power bridge. Basically, this is a pair of electrical boxes that connect behind the wall like a hidden extension cord. You then do the same with the one connect cable through a separate pair of boxes. The cable is rated for in-wall.
But the really nice thing about the one connect is that you don't have to mess around behind the TV every time you add a component. The one connect box is down near the equipment and easy to access.
A:AnswerTV speakers are downward firing, they are decent sounding and can get fairly loud but begin to distort as you crank up the volume. Sounds better than the JU/JS series of last year however, like all modern slim TVs a sound system is recommended.
A:AnswerI think you would need an Apple TV to do any sort of mirroring from your iPad or iPhone. I don't think FaceTime would work on the TV just by plugging in your iPad to one of the USB ports.
