I still have yet to dial mine in, but I did manage to rework my entertainment center that I now have voice control via Kinect back AND the ability for my XB1 to control my other components. For those unaware, the Kinect IR blaster stops working when you use the USB adapter for it. There's an IR blaster on the front of the XB1X (and S) that takes over that responsibility, so the XB can't be hidden unless you want to use the IR extender port on the back of the machine.
Last night, a bit before bedtime, I turned on a 4k fish video from youtube. My kid became instantly entranced and just sat in my lap to watch the fish swimming around. It had relaxing music and his eyes started to get heavy, which is a big deal if you knew how active my kid is. I didn't try that with the old TV, so I don't know if 4K had anything to do with it, but I didn't mind sitting there watching it either with that picture quality. We may have a new bedtime routine.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
