Tons of fun

This is a great summer popcorn movie. As a fan of the 80s cartoon, this movie was like watching an episode of that series. All the familiar names are in this film. So much goofy fun.

Great mid range receiver
on October 23, 2016
Posted by: cjamico
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a great choice for a mid price range receiver. Packed with features and support for a ton of formats. There are plenty of HDMI inputs and two outputs. 4K support and pass-through (even when the unit is powered down). I use it with a Sony TV, which uses Bravia Sync, to control the receiver through the TV. Simple and easy to navigate controls and menus.

Marvel does it again
on October 23, 2016
Posted by: cjamico
Verified Purchase:Yes
This movie is great. Another movie to add to the continuing story of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This is the 3rd and quite possibly the best of the Captain America movies. A good self contained story which adds to the characters history in a good way. The movie sets up some future conflict and storylines in the MCU that will affect other titles.

It's funny if you are a fan

This is basically Lonely Island the movie. The story of a fictional pop star who is completely over the top. If you are a fan of the Lonely Island music and videos than you should find this movie quite funny.

Fantastic 4K television
on October 7, 2016
Posted by: cjamico
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Sony XBR-55X930D is a fantastic television for anyone looking for a high end set. Don't be fooled by the cheap sets, real quality cost a little bit extra but is worth the price. This is Sony at its best. The TV is packed with features and technology that will blow you away.
- 4K resolution is great; everything seems just a little bit clearer and detailed.
- 3d works quite well. Active 3D. (Glasses sold separately; Sony TDG-BT500A).
- Android TV is responsive and easy to use; more apps can be downloaded for various streaming services (amazon video, Crackle, hulu, HBO/Showtime, VUVU, WWE, etc.) as well as tons of games and other fun apps.
- Netflix and Google Play have dedicated remote buttons; they are quite handy and provide a slew of options to stream, purchase, and rent content.
- Menus are intuitive and easy to navigate; tons of fine-detail options and the 'Action Menu' allows for quick tweaks to common settings.
- Voice searching with Google is simple, works amazingly well, and provides fast access to information and relevant media.
- I have connected a PS4 controller to the TV but have not used the Playstation Now service (I'm not currently a subscriber).
I have not been able to test out the HDR functionality of the TV yet. Although, other reviewers have stated that it is beautiful on this set and one of the coolest features. 4K and HDR content is still a bit lacking at this point. I hope to get a 4K Ultra HD Blu Ray player soon and put the TV to the test.
The overall image quality is stellar. The colors are vibrant and clear. It has fantastic contrast. Blacks are extremely dark and inky; like they should be. There is no noticeable edge light-bleeding (which was an issue with some of last year's models).
The wall mount (sold separately; Sony SU-WL810) is really cool and fairly easy to use. The mount allows the TV to hang like a picture and sit very close to the wall, while being able to pull the bottom of the set away from the wall to plug-in additional cables. In total, my TV sits just under 2 inches off the wall; it's very sleek looking. Because my TV is wall mounted, I have no opinion on the quality or design of the provided stand. However, I do know that Sony has provided a system of covers to hide and manage cables to and from the TV.
Control over HDMI and Audio Return Channel (ARC) work like a dream with my A/V setup; the TV controls the A/V inputs and volume through the TV/remote. ARC allows audio signals from the TV (such as Netflix and streaming media) be sent back down the HDMI cable to my receiver. Also, provided is an IR blaster to control other devices like a DVR. In my case it doesn't work 100% because the TV remote is lacking some of the DVR specific buttons.
The speakers are not great. Definitely the weakest feature on the TV. They can be heard but are a bit muffled when hung on a wall. I recommend a sound bar or home theater setup to get the best sound experience. I have my TV setup to turn on my A/V system and use the surround sound to avoid the internal speakers.
I hope this review helps. Hopefully, it's a less technical explanation of the features that most people really want to know about. It feels like a work for Sony after writing this review. Unfortunately, I don't work for Sony, they just make really nice products and I felt I should share my thoughts. But hey, if they want to send me some free stuff because I wrote them a nice review... I'd be cool with that! :)

Very interesting movie
on October 7, 2016
Posted by: cjamico
Verified Purchase:Yes
This movie is quite good. The cast is great and it really gets you thinking.
After losing his life savings to a computer glitch, a young man tries to confront the CEO of the company responsible. However, he does it by taking over a tv show and holding the host hostage.
A thrilling movie that will have you glued to the tv until the very end.

Perfect reimagining of a Disney classic
on October 1, 2016
Posted by: cjamico
Verified Purchase:Yes
Jon Favreau has managed to take a Disney classic and update it to the digital world for a whole new generation.
It is a visually impressive film with a fantastic voice cast. The entire movie is CGI except for the young boy, Mowgli, and I doubt you will even notice.
If you are a Disney fan this is a must own movie. Even if you are not a Disney fan it might be worth checking out.

Funny

The movie is funny, if you enjoy Sasha Baron Cohen movies. Mark Strong is great as the spy and straight-man to Cohen. The movie is a bit crazy at time; the elephant scene is extreme.

Funny but not perfect

This is the spiritual successor to Dazed and Confused, but it doesn't come close to the original. This movie has some funny moments but overall it is lacking.

Better than the theatrical version

I enjoyed the theatrical version but this version is better. It better fills in some of the story gaps and provides more character motivation for some scenes.

Do I need to install a 3D transmitter to use the active 3D function of this TV?

The TV transmits the signal for 3D to the glasses. You turn the glasses on and they will blink to let you know they are synced. Super simple.

Can this tv play netflx? I see it lists Amazon video.

The tv has Netflix built right in. It even has a dedicated button for it on the remote.
