Great 4k roku and upgrade to dolby vision.
on January 15, 2022
Posted by: averageguy
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased 2 of these to upgrade my old 4k roku with hdr to dolby vision. My 2 tv's have dolby vision, but i was forced to use the clunky onboard apps (one lg, on android os) to get that benifit. I have always preferred my rokus for apps because they just work faster and the layout is consistent between units. With these, i'm very pleased, fast start uo, easy synch with my roku account, which carried over many of my subscription passwords and made set uo even faster. Now i have full dolby vision from my netflix, vudu, and amazon accounts. The only glitch i've had between my old 4k and this is the remote with this one sonetimes doesnt want to work right away, sonetimes 20 second delay to start working other times i have ti reset to get it going. I think it's because it's now paired to be able to voice control, which i never use. Annoying issue, but not enough to detract from 5 stars for me. The old unit once in a while would act up and not pick up from the hdmi slot and i'd have to unplug it and plug it back in. Not often, just occasinally. All around a great purchase. I got them on sale making it even better. The old rokus will be moved to older tv's that didnt have them before, and I get the benifits of using my tv's full capabilities. I feel this model is right at a good value and price and reccomend the upgrade.

Nice set.
on July 29, 2020
Posted by: averageguy
Verified Purchase:Yes
I ended up getting this set from best buy at a fraction of the original release price. Much if the stuff I have elsewhere or several copies of these albums, but the remastered digital was nice to have, but the numbered box also has the analogue on vinyl, neat to hear the difference, and have some of this on vinyl. I am pleased with this purchase.

I have been trying to get my boys to like Scooby Doo for years. They thought the original was too scary, but this started how this started off with shaggy and scoob meeting, and how the gang formed, it sucked them right in. I have watched this at least 5 times now with them and is still find different stuff to laugh at. Now they are watching all the old Scooby shows. I recommend this film.

Have low expectations, and this is a good movie
on June 27, 2020
Posted by: averageguy
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a case of so bad it's good. There are 4 other films in this series and are classics out of the 80's, this fits right among them. Giant plot holes, borderline acting, thin plot line, but still a lot of fun to watch. If they didn't have this set in current times, and said it was 1985, it'd had a little more of flow. When you see this, you'll understand what I mean. The urgency of the emergency is not there, but they still pushed on. I'd say good renter or even quick sale price purchase.

Good price, holding my oled tv just fine
on June 27, 2020
Posted by: averageguy
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have had this in place since February 2020 above my fireplace in a new construction house. It went up easy and it attached nicely to my tv. There is ample tilt and turn on this for routine use. I keep it as flushed to the wall as I can and only slight downward tilt, but I think it claims up to 12 degrees. My tv is a curved oled, and it's doing just fine with it. A good value and reliable brand through best buy. That made it an easy choice vs other retailers, because if anything was wrong, I knew I could deal with a brick and mortar store.

Good story and of course good music.

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a simple premise, and it works. Sure, the main drive underneath is a guy struggling with his morals and the ethics of this. However, he really tries to stick to doing the right thing and does. The situations that develop through this are good, and the characters and relationships work, and it is funny. I have actually watched it a few times. Definitely happy with my purchase.

I saw Bush on your during this cycle, and this is a great example of that show. Great songs and energy, for being around for 25 plus years, the band has not slowed down.

Blu-ray. Just out of prison with two strikes, Jesus Quintana (John Turturro) still quickly finds himself heading for the gutter as he and fellow parolee Petey (Bobby Cannavale) find themselves on a road trip crime-and-S*x spree with a shampoo girl (Audrey Tautou) in tow. Writer-director Turturro returns (with the Coens' OK) to his Big Lebowski role for this unofficial spin-off, a remake of the 1974 French farce Going Places; Susan Sarandon, Jon Hamm, Christopher Walken, Pete Davidson co-star. 85 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

Tough to watch.
on May 9, 2020
Posted by: averageguy
Verified Purchase:Yes
I wanted to like this movie. Jesus is an established character, and has a lot to potentially work with, but this film is just scattered. There is not an origin story, or a continuation of anything. It's just a patchwork story strung along with several big leaps in storyline, big enough that you just have to just not think and just accept that it happened and allow the movie to flow, which that is a bit slow, and at times repetitive. The humor is minimal, and story pretty shallow. 2 guys, one right out of prison going back to his old antisocial ways, and then trying not to get caught, with bad behavior leading to more poor choices and behavior, and if it's supposed to be funny shinanigans, it really is not, it just occurs.
Even on second and third viewings (if I get bored enough) I don't think this will go above a 3 stars. This won't be a cult classic with quoteable quotes. Great cast though. Rent or get this on discount if you are compelled to see this.

5 out of 5The best soundbar I have used.
By averagetechguy
from concerned one
I received this item at no cost to test through the best buy tech insider network and to give my unbiased opinion. I currently have a 7.1 surround sound system on my main entertainment center, but I got this as a sound system for my rec room area so that I do not want to have to have a bunch of speakers around, but I also don't want to compromise sound. This delivers.
I have had experience with vizio, auvio, nakamichi, samsung, bose, and lg soundbars in the past, only one with a sub, but it was wired. This soundbar blows anything away that I've had. The size is very reasonable and could sit on the mantle in my front room if it were there. it is a bit deeper than most "soundbars", but still can mount to the wall below the tv. It came with a stencil and spacers to mark the wall and hang. The sub I can tuck under an end table to the side of the room. This has no fade in clarity even at louder volumes.
This setup was easy, pull it out of the box and go. The quick start guide was much appreciated. I connected this a few ways via hdmi arc and optical. I utilized my 4k disc player and also 4k vudu and netflix to test dolby atmos and dts x, and and wow, this system is crisp and defined, good bass that is adjustable. I utilized Apocalypse Now 4k to see how the surround effects would go with Dolby Atmos, and just hearing that chopper go across the screen in the opening scene made me want to duck to not get hit. It had excellent directional flow from left to right as the chopper flew across the screen. I did stream some music via Bluetooth as well as Heos app, and all sounded good.

The Heos app could be useful, it tries to combine your library and streaming into one spot but I just don't have problems going to each of my services or files to play stuff. I have the app on my phone but likely won't use it much. I do know now that this is on my rec room tv, I may be watching more stuff there than on my main system. I don't mind letting my family do what they want with the main system, I will not lose any quality of what I'm doing with this. I highly recommend this item if you want assured quality sound with minimal effort. You do get what you pay for here

Update
August 29, 2023
It's been a while since I reviewed this and I forgot to update this sooner. This soundbar sounds great initially, did fine for about a few months or so, then it developed a tic, low grade constant tic. With movies and actions it can get buried, but when quite or light noise...constant tic. Something isn't grounded correctly. I relegated it to my second TV, and got busy with life and I did not pursue warranty on it, but I'm sure they would possibly honor it.

5 out of 5Good combo single serve/drip machine
By averagetechguy
I got this to try and free up counter space from having both my drip coffee maker and single serve out on the counter all the time. Single serve on business days, but on weekends I can brew a pot to have all morning. This takes up a little less footprint than my old single serve machine (just over 10 years old). I have it on a lift that has k cups storage in it and it fits easily inder my cabinet. The set up of this is easy, follow the assembly order. They put the k cup adapter in the coffee pot, that was a bit of a trick to get out, but it did. It comes with a reusable single sever pod and the kcup adapter, and then reusable standard filter. Thus thing works good. It is a bit slower than my old single sever machine, but brew time for 12 cups is same as old standard drip machine. It brews coffee, tastes like coffee. I have no complaints. Five stars so far. My old machine is still going after 10 years, I hope this lasts as long. My old one won't be decommissioned just moved to my office. This one will be my daily use for now.

I found a flaw after posting
October 24, 2023
I have many types of coffee, and had used this for several days before cycling though my coffee rotation and I have a brand of coffee that uses compostable pods (a subscription style coffee club) , no k-cup style. No issues in my old machine and the other machines my friends and family have (I my own coffee when I travel) and this pod does not fit, no matter how I try it, just doesn't slide in far enough. I would have totally deducted a star for this had I made it through my full rotation of coffee. So far it's just this one pod, but it's my favorite coffee, other compostsble pods were a but different than I have with this,but again would have been enough to easily deduct a star for me.

4 out of 5Cool feeder
By averagetechguy
I saw this item and i had to get it. It's more than just a simple field camera for birds. This is a small feeder, I wish it held a bit nore food, and the style is nice, but to fill it is a bit awkward. I like the metal hanging triangle on the top, it habgs well from my crook. This unit takes pictures sorts out bird vs no bird then send you a photo (called a postcard) with the bird identified if it got a good enough view. This does have a limitation of needing to be within wifi range, so it is somewhat close to my house, but hopefully i stashed it far enough the commotion going on in the house doesn't scare away the birds. It did take me a minute on initial set up because it did not have the led lights displaying while I charged it, but the website does have a troubleshooting for this. None of that initially worked. The day I sent a message to support I got a very prompt response, but it started working before I had to do further troubleshooting with them. A bit finicky, but no issues since then. A+ customer service (it was a weekend and they responded). The picture is clear when live streaming and so far, I've had a few sparrows, but nothing else exciting yet. It's only been 5 days, and it got warm, so birds are in the fields getting the remnants of harvest. I joined bird buddy pro, which can be monthly fee or save with very low cost yearly fee. This unlocks the full HD potential, bird frenzy that allows quicker photos (but lowers battery life) and allows you to mute/ignore species from postcards. You can also be part of the community and have up to 10 people you can host. It also unlocks all access to the network of fedders around the world they have. I was following ones in Hawaii and one in Canada recently. So far. My initial battery charge has held up for 5 days and still at 98%, but it has been sunny. We'll see when we hit overcast winter. In summary, it is fairly easy to set up, once running it's doing what it needs to. The application is neat, yiu have bird tv, live feeds all over the world, the community with tons of photos of birds. And a favorites list of feeders you can fallow. I will give this 4 out of 5 stars, with partial deduction for the low capacity of seed, awkward filling, and slight hiccup in the set up. Definitely I would reccomend this item though.

One negative I've found now that I've had this in use for several months is i can't keep it stocked fast enough. It is suck a small capacity and with the sub zero weather right now, it's empty in as little as 12 hours. I wish this was quite a bit bigger. It holds if I had to guess 40 to 50oz's (bout 1.5 32oz drink cup full) of food. I wish this would hold about triple that. With 2 foot of snow on the ground where I live, I'm getting exercise filling this.
