When on sale an exceptional deal

For the price an extremely powerful laptop for gaming, video editing or photo editing. The on board Intel Graphics cannot be disabled so if you want the best performance be sure to set global graphics setting to Nvidia performance in the Nvidia control panel and in windows 11 graphic settings. Battery life not long with this kind of power recommend for users that will be plugged in the majority of time.

Don't hesitate if you are on the fence
on October 8, 2021
Posted by: diamond204
Verified Purchase:Yes
Love these films and to have a brand new 4k remaster of them is thrilling. These are far superior to the previously released BluRay versions.
Highly recommended to all fans of these classic trek films.
Has both BluRay and 4k discs so great to buy even if you don't yet have a 4k player. Plus has a 4k digital copy.
Note that Wrath of Khan has both the theatrical and directors cut editions which is excellent.
Almost every single previous special feature also presented in this set. Highly recommended.
Best these films have ever looked and likely the best they ever will look minus the Motion Picture Directors Cut 4k edition coming next year.

Great price but had a ding

Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought it just for the steelbook. A great deal at the current price point. A word of caution - mine was clearly a return. The product was reshrunkwrapped. It had a small ding on the front that the previous customer probably returned for. Not a big deal for me at this low price though.

The included VA panel tech is impressive
on October 8, 2021
Posted by: diamond204
Verified Purchase:Yes
I set one of these up the other day and am very impressed so far. This appears to be a 60 inch best buy exclusive set. This unit has a VA panel whereas most tvs in this hisense series have an IPS panel.
The colors seem very vivid and this screen seems brighter than my previous hisense
IPS panel. At least to my eyes.
Upgrading from my previous hisense 58 inch this is a noticeable difference.
The Android os is pretty snappy as well comparably.
The oddest thing about this TV is the build of the screen. It's thickest bezel is at the bottom. The other three sides of the screen are thin and do not seem to have any major protection for the panel. As a matter of fact you can peel back the flimsy plastic cover from the other sides to reveal the VA panel.
At first I thought it was a defect but it appears not. If it wasn't for the great picture for the price I probably would have returned it. But some far so good.

Solid Steelbook release if you can find a copy
on December 15, 2020
Posted by: diamond204
Solid looking Steelbook crafted to look like the Book of the Dead. For those wondering the discs are stacked on each side - first side has the original film plus extra new bonus DVD. Other side has the 3 other film discs.
The new DVD bonus discs contains no extras for the first 2 films. It has many features from the 3rd film in the series and Scorpion King. Not bad as a freebie.
Digital copy slip has one code for each film.

Worth it for the collectors swag alone!
on August 30, 2020
Posted by: diamond204
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have yet to watch the 4k disc, but this collectors edition is worth every dime even without the movie! LOL Contains a set of double sided 'lobby cards' with cool movie stills one one side and the other different alternative poster art. Also has a full sized fold out one sheet poster from the artist who designed the original film one sheet in 1980 - it is double sided. Contains 1980 art plus a new poster he created for this release. The best part is the digibook which is about 60 pages. I love digibooks and this is the best I have seen yet - it is jam packed with great stills and essays on various aspects of making the film. It is also jam packed with special features spread across the two included discs. 'Life after Flash' is a full length documentary I have seen sections of elsewhere and is worth a watch for any fan of the film.
I would consider this the definitive physical release of this film and doubt there will be another to top it.
For all the included swag I am also happy to report it will not take up much more room on your shelf than a regular 4k disc - perhaps 1 1/2 the space of a regular disc.
The bad news: No digital code included with this package unfortunately.
If a fan of this film DO NOT HESITATE this is a limited release.

For the price, great for a smaller smart tv
on August 14, 2020
Posted by: diamond204
Verified Purchase:Yes
For the price, its pretty amazing. Using it in the backyard, and for that purpose could be a little brighter, but not bad at this price point! The Android TV interface is pretty versatile and has the latest apps including HBO max, Disney Plus, and Peacock.
Also loving the built in Chromcast. Also at this price point many TVs are 720p resolution while this one is 1080p. And at 40 inches you can see the difference.
Very light and easy to mount. Remote is simple and small.

So far pretty good

Posted by: diamond204
Verified Purchase:Yes
A previous Asus user with a mesh network based on AC68u units, this was a worthwhile upgrade.
Wireless signal inside and outside the home was greatly boosted.
BUT.... be warned that the early units come with a pre-release bios that I highly recommend you update via the web interface to the latest release (they are 2 versions later as of this review). Make sure that all of the satellite mesh units are the same bios version as the main unit (again via the web interface).
Once updated, you should be in pretty good shape.
Nice that you can choose to break apart the 2.4 GHZ and 5 GHZ bands - this is helpful for many 'smart hubs' and items as many tend not to play well with a combined 2.4/5 ghz band.
Also recommend trying out the asus web aoo - many features of the web interface can be found there - but not all.

The film that started the "summer blockbuster" trend, director Steven Spielberg's adaptation of Peter Benchley's novel is a masterpiece of action and suspense. The New England resort town Amity Island is terrorized by a man (and woman)-eating great white shark, and it's up to the local police chief (Roy Scheider), a marine biologist (Richard Dreyfuss), and a grizzled shark hunter (Robert Shaw) to stop the feeding frenzy. With Lorraine Gary, Murray Hamilton; features a classic score by John Williams. 124 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks English Dolby Atmos, DTS HD 7.1 Master Audio, DTS Surround mono, French DTS HD High Resolution Audio 7.1, DTS 5.1, Spanish DTS 5.1; Subtitles English (SDH), French, Spanish; featurettes; deleted scenes; outtakes; storyboards; photo gallery; theatrical trailer; 44-page booklet.

Worth it alone for the digibook
on August 14, 2020
Posted by: diamond204
Verified Purchase:Yes
Most likely what will be the final and definitive release of Jaws on a physical format. I am a huge fan and collector of digibook movies, and the digibook included in this release is top notch. Plus a slew of special features (including newly produced ones that are not on any previous) make this purchase a no brainer for any fan of the film or the 4k format. The 4k Restoration of the film is a revelation.

New to 4K. This collection features the wonder of the entire Star Wars saga, capturing the moments from a young Anakin Skywalker's descent into the dark side to the rise of the Resistance and their struggle to restore peace in the galaxy. The story that electrified a generation comes to a striking conclusion.

No iTunes codes
By ScottH
The discs are fine, but the box and the insert clearly mention “iTunes codes” and use the iTunes logo, yet they only provide codes for some third party app.

After you redeem the code at the Movies Anywhere site you can link up your iTunes account to your Movies Anywhere account and the movies will appear in your iTunes library.

Do I need a cable modem with this system? If so, what do you recommend?

Usually yes you would have a cable modem with this router set. As far as the system it does not really matter what cable modem you use - many people use the cable modem that is provided by their cable company.
