Not To Be Missed
on December 31, 2021
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
Craig's final Bond outing packs in with action aplenty, more than a node to gadgets, some drama, villiany, BIG effects and a running time longer than any other Bond movie that I can recall. The image in 4k UHD is reference caliber as is the soundtrack... demo quality all the way. Not to be missed.

SetUp Breeze
on December 16, 2021
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
What a breeze to setup! The images are beautiful. At this size, 40", the 1080P picture looks as good as my 50" UHD image. User Interface is easy to navigate. It's used in a well lit living room without any issues. My only grip is the wide spread of its stands. A single pedestal type would be more furniture friendly.

Grade B but Good Sci-Fi
on December 3, 2021
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
A good grade B sci-fi endeavor with a committed cast, eye-popping SFX and interesting sets that puts it clearly in the escapism category. Sharlto Copely gives a performance that compliments his outing in the same director's District 9. The UHD image is outstanding and the soundscape is enveloping when called for.

Heat is Cool on Blu-ray
on October 16, 2021
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
This HD Blu-ray of Heat is a replacement for my DVD version. It's a well paced thriller with an excellent script and involving characters. The up-tick in video and audio quality over the DVD version is not just noticeably improved but exemplary. The black levels are deeper/richer and the color palette is much more tuned to the mood of the film. The soundtrack carries good punch and impact.

Classic Movies Now in 4K
on August 14, 2021
Posted by: Fred
Verified Purchase:Yes
Raiders was my first movie to own. It was the VHS tape given to me as a Holiday gift. From there I went on to the LaserDisc issue, then the DVD set of the three movies and now this 4K UHD set of all four. The 4K incarnation is a superb example of what can be done with classic films. I was able to enjoy all four almost as much as when first seen in theaters. The image is excellent with Last Crusade looking the best and they all have impactful soundtracks, but again, Last Crusade has the best. Buy with confidence if your a fan.

Fred's Review Comments
It's the year 2029, and much of the world's mutant population has succumbed to a genocidal, man-made virus. As a down-and-out Logan (Hugh Jackman, in his final appearance as the character) comes to terms with his failing healing factor, he and an ailing Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) must protect Laura (Dafne Keen)-a young genetically bred mutant with powers similar to Logan's-from the evil organization that created her. With Richard E. Grant, Boyd Holbrook, Stephen Merchant.

Does this have a direct ethernet port?
The specifications for inputs/outputs do not list Ethernet port but the photos seem to show a RJ45 port quite clearly, which presumably is for Ethernet connection. I have one of these laptops on order. When I placed the order in-store the sales rep pointed it out to me in the photo.

I bought a Roku Streaming Device from Amazon for an older TV that only has A/V Ports and the program that I choose will come on and then after 15 seconds or so the signal cuts out completely. I tried everything and nothing works why? The tv has no HDMI.

Hi, They actually did not directly answer my question earlier. My question is, does the Roku Ultra have a "ZOOM" feature on it to expand the picture that will fill the screen?" I have an older TV with HDMI but the Roku's that I have don't have "ZOOM".
